Union and Citizen: What came near being
a brutal murder occurred on Friday night
rear Pittsburg, on East bay, while a gen
uine Florida froiic was in operation. Ii
seems that two brothers named Danlev
arrived very much intoxicated Their bad
behavior caused the party to break up
after which they evidently quarreled, for
they were found near the house in mortal
combat. One had overpowered the other
and was stamping him in the face and
chest and afterwards dragged him into
the bushes, supposing he had killed him.
fortunately they were discovered nv some

ly separated them. The stronger one de.
clared that 1t was his intention to kill his
brother, and surely would have succeeded
had they not been discovered in time.
