SUMNER COUNTY CASE ENDED
Verdict in Favor OF PEP. McDaniels,
After Four Days Trial

The hard fought case OF Stewart against
Mechanics, brought here from Sumner
county, was brought to close yesterday
in the district court, by a very peculiar
verdict, which was rather hard to under
stand, but which, it is thought, is legally
constructed, and in favor Of the defendant.
The case had been on trial for four days
and was very complicated case. John
T. Stewart, plaintiff, brought a replevin
action against Mr.. Mechanics, and is said
to have taken about $1,000 worth of per
sonal property under chattel mortgage,
made to B. L. Gerton, given TO secure a
note which, with interest, amounted to
about 1919. The only defense which was
permitted to 90 TO the jury was one of
usury, and the jury found by its verdict
that all of the note except Sis had been
paid in usurious interest, and that Stew
arts interest in the property taken was
only Sis instead of 500. as was claimed
by the plaintiff. Stewart sold the property
after repevining the same, and under the
finding viii be liable TO Mr. McDaniels for

resented by James Lawrence Of yelling
ton and Kos Harris of this city and the
defendant by Judge James A Ray and c.
Z. Elliott of Wellington. The case was
argued before the jury for two hours.
Judge Ray making the only argument
made for the defendant Mr. Elliott having
returned to Wellington before the argu-
ment was made. Mr.. Stewart is said to
be worth S4o0O00, while the property taken
from McDauiels is said TO have left him

RAZOR AND KNIFE
SIashed in the Air in a
Fight on North Main.
TWO WOMEN COMBATANTS
Matte Reed and Cora BevinS,
CoIored, Carved Each Other,

An exciting and desperate razor and
knife, hair pulling and face pummel:ns
match took place yesterday afternoon be-
tween Cora Bevins and Matte Reed, two
dusky damsels Of North Main street. The
fight occurred in full view of a large num-
Der Of spectators near FL Santiago. on
North Main street, and created great ex-
citement, as both girls had deadly weap-
ons which they tried to use with a ven
geance known only to those having a ira
ditional love for the razor. Matte Reed
is the girl who slashed Robert Kinneman
in the face last winter and came very near
reaching his jugular vein. The young
mans face was ruined by the scar. Yes
terday she welded the same razor in an
effort to end the existence of her antag-
onist, Cora Bevins. Cora is said TO have
drawn a pocket knife and cut cash in
the side of the Reed girls face. near the
temple. The TWO girls fought like demons
and would probably have killed each other
had not bystanders and Policeman Nc
MILAN interrupted. The girls would not
talk about the cause of the trouble, but
it is understood it was over 4 white man.
The fight began as soon as the girls met.
After IL had progressed for several min
utes Cora Bevins IS said to have drawn
a pocket knife and began to use it on
Matte Reed. Then Matte drew from her
stocking her trusty razor. This unsus-
pected move on the part Of the heavy
weight in the tenth round caused Cora
to drop her knife, and in desperation she
caught Matte by both wrists and held
her, at the same time pushing her back
10 the edge of the walk, where she threw
her. She then made q run and got behind
a farmers wagon. Matte followed and
once she got close enough to make an
other slash with her razor and barely
missed Cora's neck. A great crowd had
gathered by this time. Policeman Nc
MILAN arrived and queIled the fight, but
he had to give chase for Cora Bevins,
who tried to get away. Mr. Mcmillan is
an old man. but he isn't slow when it
comes to sprinting. He has had more
foot races than any other man on the
force and never lost a prisoner. He soon
caught Cora and marched both girls to
the police station. Up TO The time they
were placed in the cell they wanted to re
new the fight, but the stern arm of he
law permits nothing less than q Fitz-Jef-
fries affair. and he girls were not given
a chance to prove which was the better
woman pugilistically. They were placed
IN a cell together, and an hour afterwards
a reporter for the Eagle visited the Jail
and found them good chums.
