A Serious Affray.

| The obstinacy of one man aud the
temper of another, has resulted in al
most fatal consequences to one, serious
wounds to two and the special men
tiOn Of the hcrOisnl of Il boy Of H. or 1G.
On Sunday afternoon last, jim Clark,
of Asbury, persisted in crossing with
his buggy on some road forbidden him
by his ncighbor, Lev Davis. Davis
was accompanied by his son, Bailey.
Clark utterly refused the others right
| to turn h u to the right or left on any
road TO emphasize his authority,
Davis, from his house near by, prOcur
c,! /; gun iii pistol and buried one ball
in the region of the chest or stomach in
Clark. This did not deter the old gen
tIcman's determination TO pursue the
even tenor of his way, but the shot
caused him to tumble forward, and his
writhing body refused to urge himself
or his horse any further. A chance Of
persistence perhaps still being left III
the old gcntlcman's constitution, Davis
thought to make quick work of that by
Icveling another shot, which entered
Clnrk's shoulder in the f:a:. aH;! vent
out ut the back.
A description Of an eye witness says
Clark riggled around on he road much
after the fashion Of dccapitated
chicken, and so much life being still
noticeable, Davis and his son procured
rails from Il fence with which they be-
gan to finish well what they had begun
in earnest.
AT this point the writhing mans
young son, lad perhaps approaching
lG, camc upon the scene, and expecting
no such demonstration was prepared
with only knife. The younger Davis,
seeing tho adjacency of SO simple
':c::i"ii, threw down his rail and stoop-
ed for the tircarm which had been
resting OH the road. by this time the
young boy, Clark, had inflicted several
well meant scars on the scalp, face a nd
neck OF the old gentleman, Lev. Davis,
and was prepared at the lifting of Tie
gun to proceed upon the son This he
did with alacrity, and the knife in the
hand Of IL boy, rendered frcnzitd by
lhc cruelty 10 his parent, uld desperate
work on the son of his fathers assail-
ant.
Where or how soon death and life
would have determined their dcmarka-
tion is not known, had not Mr.. George
Busby arrived in time to offer intcrfcr-
cncc, and assist the boy Clark in the
removal of his father by placing him in
the buggy and driving to the Clark
home, which is situated back Of the
l-cv Davis place. Old Mr.. Clark's
shoulder is beaten to pulp. DR..
Pepper, who is in attendance and has
the patient under opiatcs, says the
shoulder is more painful than the shot
wounds, though these may prove fatal.
At this writing the patient is alive.
