Shooting ARRAY at huutingburg On the
Sunday Excursion.

A shooting affray and cutting
scrape occurred at Huntingburg on
the excursion train at II O'Clock
Sunday morning, in which a DIR
Spradley, Of Tennyson, Warrick
county, was shot, and Howard Tate,
of Huntingburg, was severely cut.
Spradley boarded the train at Ten
nyson, intending to go on the Ev-
ansville Marengo excursion, and it is
said made himself obnoxious by his
loud talk Immediately after getting
on the train. When the train ar
rived at Huntingburg, Spradley,
with many others, was standing on
the platform Of the second coach.
Tate stepped on the train and pass
ing through attempted to get of the
steps Of the second coach, but an old
man having blockaded the way, he
pushed the latter's arm aside, and
attempted to force his way through.
Spradley, who was standing next to
the old man, demonstrated. Heand
Tate then got into fist fight, where
upon Spradley drew q knife and
struck at Tate three times, infiicting
a severe cut through the left jaw,
laying the cheek open, another
through the ear, and also a slight
cut on the neck. While Spradley
was striking at him with the knife
Tate knocked him up against the
coach, and as the fight continued
drew a revolver and fired three shots
in rapid succession, shooting Sprad-
ley through the back part Of the
neck, in the shoulder, and shooting
the right middle finger of. Also,
one Of the bullets glanced, and hit
Albert Ginder, Of Jasper, in the left
leg just below the knee, inhicting
slight flesh wound. Spradley was
taken across the track to the Cor
dova Hotel and DR.. Ramsbrook sum-
moned, who dressed his wounds.
Tate walked up to Drs. McMahan
and Lukemsyer's Office, where he
was attended to by those doctors.
The injuries Of neither party were
found to be serious. Spradley was
put under arrest Monday and taken
to his home Tuesday. Tate was
not arrested. Both parties had been
drinking red liquor to some extent,
as is usually the case on Sunday
excursions.

ing nearly 20 years of age. The
suddenness Of his death caused {
shock to his friends and relatives al

high esteem, and was a general fav.
orite.
George held position as con.

accidental discharge Of a revolver in
the hand OF a friend.
He was buried at Shiloh, where
he was followed by long concourse
OF friends and relatives. Although
circumstances prevented him from
being among US most Of the time,
George never was as happy as when
he was at home wit b his mother and
only sister, the former, to whom he
always was a devoted and dutiful
son, and to the latter he was more
than a brother.
The beautiful flowers sent home
with George shows in what high es-
TEEN bis friends and co workers in
st. Louis held him. The flowers
given by Ireland friends we're all
beautiful.
George ined the C. p. church at
twelve years Of age, and was always
found ready to do right, and lend a
helping hand to his fellowman.
Dear George, God called on you
to lead the way. May your brothers
and sister follow, and at our Mas

life eternal.

And win victory grander than you or

We little dream OF the conflict waged in
each human soul;
And we know but few of the heroes

for the entertainment CT the State
convention Of the order at Jasper,
Aug. % and 80. Capt. P. Kunkel
and Kasper Halter last week visited
Evansville, and secured the promise
OF three companies of uniformed
knights from there to compete for

egates to the State Convention.
The drills and recreation meet

the business meetings will be held
at the church, st. Joseph hall and

over the water, and covered with a
metal roof, 80 it can be used rain or

rooms on the I'd floor, which will be
in the shade Of the grove adjoining
the lake. and is to be completed be-
fore the convention meets. It will
be commodious, roomy and cool,
and will make Calumet a delightful

MINORITY REPRESENTATIVE CASE
ASSUMES PECULIAR SHAPE.

The minority representative case
in the Thiriy-third district has eN-
perieEced some new development $
siuce yesterday. The action OF Can
didate Andrews in making prepara-
tion for the emergency and then pre-
ciPitating that emergency in order to
get on the ticket personally regardless
OF its effect on mis- party, has resulted
in arousing the party representatives
even in his own county, and IS a con-
sequence there is an attendant spirit
of determination to have the vacancy
lcgitimately filled by straight out
and-out democrat responsible to the
party. and willing, if need be, to sub
ordinate personal aud other consider
tions TO party welfare.
According to dispatches received
10y The Argus from Secretary of State
James a. Rose today, Mr.. AudT ews,
who is now in Springfield, has been
nominated there both by the pre-
viously arranged petition in which
his business associate, r. A Whitney,
was used as a figurehead. by the COM
mittee representing the petitioners
and by 3 democratic committee. Inc
dispatch is little ambiguous as to
the committee referred TO in the lat
ter instance, but IL is supposed to
mean the senatorial committee

been declared irregular. If it is
that committee which has so acted, it
would seem, according to the common
sense view, that its nomination would
that appointed it; in other words that
it ceased to exist when the judges
declared the nomination of Andrews
irregular.
As To Andrews nomination as an
Independent candidate by petition.
that may be different question, but
the placing of him on the ticket as Il
democratic candidate bv the repre-
sentatives OF a convention whose acts
have been judicislly declared in
operative, certainly invites further
contest, aud NJ j. McEniry went TO
Springfield today to lodge notice OF
such a contest, in such an event.
