A Duel at Parkdale.

A desperate and fatal battle took place at Parkdale, Ashley county, Sun day morning, December 2, in which three men were killed outright, and a fourth slightly wounded. It seems that W. c. Killion, a merchant at. Park dale, and his brother, D. c. Killion, previous to the tragedy, had some diff culty with G. w. Phillips, the station agent, regarding shipments. Sunday morning the Killion brothers went to the station and demanded that Phillips should sign bill of lading for cotton in order that they might be protected from any possible decline. This Phil lips refused to do. The three then be- gan firing, the Millions opening up the duel so it is said A perfect fusillade of shots followed, thirty-three shots having been fired. When the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that Geo. w. Killion, D. c. Killion aud Phil lips were dead, and a bystander named Williams was slightly wounded. Thir- teen bullets were found in the body oi D. c. Killion.

Policeman KIlla Q Thief.

Policeman George McCauley. of Lit tie Rock. shot and killed an unknown white man Thanksgiving. About dusk the officer was attracted by shouts from a merchant, from whom the man had stolen some goods. The thief entered an alley. closely pursued by McCauley, who com manded him to halt. The officer drew his revolver and raised it to shoot into the air, thinking to frighten the thief. Just as he pulled the trigger McCauley stumbled into a mud hole, which caused him to lower the weap- on. The fleeing man plunged forward on his face, the bullet having entered his head behind the right ear. On his person were found a number of stolen articles, but nothing by which he could be identified. About two years ago a crook was killed in the same alley by an officer under almost identical circumstances.

Convicted of Murder.

The jury at Van Buren. in the case of Love Rayburn, charged with murder, returned a verdict of guilty and fixed his punishment at death. The crime of which Rayburn stands convicted was one of the most hein- ous on record. A. l.. Carpenter, a young man living at Kennady, I. T., went to Van Buren en route to Cedar vile for the purpose of marrying a young lady named Wilson. living at that place. At the depot he fell in with Love Rayburn. They visited sa- looms together, when Carpenter dis played about s15 ir money. They were seen crossing the railroad to- gether, leaving town in the direction of Cedarville. The next heard from them was about one mile north on the road. when Carpenters cries for help attracted the attention of resi- dents along the highway. Upon help approaching, the man believed to be Rayburn at the muzzle of a pistol compelled them to stand back while he deliberately shot Carpenter through the head.

FROM A DOCTORS NOTEBOOK

Careful inquiries made in Poly West Africa indicate that typhoid fever does not occur in those regions, but seems to be by-product of civ ilization.
 In his new book, 'The Care of the Child in Health" Dr. Nathan Oppen- helm warns mothers against feeding children with "pungent and aromatic spices, preserved, pickled and desic- cated articles"
 Dr. James Barr expresses his opin- ion in the Lancet that antipyrin, phenacetin, and acetanilid do great deal of mischief in typhoid fever, and are wholly unnecessary for any other disease.
 Dr. Roux has an article in a Lyons medical paper in which he recon mends as simple but effective cure for cold in the head pouring cologne on a handkerchief and sunffing up the fumes two or three minutes re- peatedly as soon as the first symp- toms are noted.
 Dr. William MacGregor writes in the Lancet that for 91s years he never saw case of cancer on Poly nesian island or in New Guinea among the natives, except in case of one man who had for seven years lived practically a European life, eating timed Australian meat daily.
 An important surgical operation, the amputation of both feet and the trepanning of her skull, was per formed on Miss Cora Friend, at a hos pital in Oakland Cal. She had been struck by a railroad train. To rem der her insensible to pain. cocaine was injected directly into the spinal canal She was conscious during the entire operation, and gave directions to the surgeons fos her comfort.
