BROTHER VS.. BROTHER.
Joint Debate on the GoebeI Campaign
In Kentucky.

. Louisville. KY, Oct. 11.-Congress-
man Evan Settle, Goebel Democrat,
and his brother, Judge James Settle,
strong advocate of John Young
Brown, win meet in joint debate at
Hodgenville tomorrow. This will be
the most unique speaking of this In
teresting campaign. So far no joint
debates have been indulged in in this
canvass in Kentucky, and it is said
that these men could not have been
induced to go into one but for the
fact that they are brothers and would
hardly allow their tempers to get the
best of them.
The speeches will be heard by
large crowd and special trains will
be run into Hodgenville on account
OF the meeting. Congressman Settle
is one of the most forcible orators in
Kentucky. He at present represents
the Seventh. Breckenridge's old dis
trict, in congress. A large number
of people will go from Louisville to
hear the speaking.

Saturday morning at Cox's ranch, at

kitchen, where Newman was washing
dishes, and Garrett undertook to ar
rest and handcuff him.
He resisted arrest and fought both
officers all over the kitchen and out
through a window onto the porch.
There he was knocked down, but man
aged to get away from Garrett by
leaving his shirt in his hands. He
then sprang back into the house, with
Espalin in close pursuit, followed by
Garratt and inst &c NoWman was
about to pass into an adjoining room

and killed him.
