GREW OUT OF A SUIT.
The difficulty seems to have grown out
of suit pending in the Circuit Court,

Judge Loving went to Mr.. Gordon's
office, and while they were talking over
the case they got into a quarrel, which

a quarrel. which developed into blows.
A VIGOROUS AFFAIR.
The fght between them was from all
accounts of a most vigorous and tena-
cous description. They fought with their
fists. and according to statements they
succeeded in Furnishing each other sew

tlemen would fight to a finish, but the
clerk of the Nelson court happened to
hear the noise of the struggle and hasten
