Yesterday morning while Mr.. and Mira.
Frank Gootee, living on farm near
Clayton, about a mile west Of here,
vera away from home. a serious cutting
ARRAY took place among the colored
farm hands.
The cause OF the cutting was Robert
Durham accusing his brother, Irving
Durham, OF paying undue attention
to his iRobert'sl wife, and at the same
time threatening to murder the couple.
He pulled out razor and began cary.
ing the pair in lively manner. Hay-
ing them penned in room they could
not do much to help themselves.
Finally Irving, spying gun stand
ing in corner Of the room, grabbed
it, but could not discharge it on ao-
count of its being unloaded. He there
upon struck the Infatuated man over
the head with the weapon, partially
stunning him.
At this time the cutting ceased for a
moment, and Irving and the woman
tried to escape, but on account of being
frightfully cut up, having lost much
blood, they could not proceed very far.
When Robert Durham saw his wife
escaping, he bid her good bye and
turning the razor upon himself be
tried to commit suicide by cutting his
throat, but did not cut quite deep
enough, and is still living.
During the cutting several pieces
were broken out OF the razor and were
embodied in the wounded people.
The ARRAY was reported to the au-
thorities and medical attendance sum
moned. Drs. Harmonson aud Chiffon
attended the people and reported that
their condition would not permit Of
any arrests Icing made for the present.
They also are Of tho opinion that the
woman will not recover as she Is cut in
a frightful manner on the left arm and
side. In one place the keen edge o.
the razor made complete circle
around the heart and only missed it by
a narrow margin.

rhe duration o. a Horse. AneetIon.

The affections Of horse are not in
ferior to his intellectual qualities; and,
especially if made a pet, he becomes
very fond OF his master. In case of
separation, he remembers him for
years. But his affection is different
from that of dog. which continues to
love his master even though the latter
abuses him greatly. Rough, unkind
treatment will quickly estrange the
affection of horse. Good horse sense
discovers no particular reason why a
horse should be devoted to master
who habitually maltreats him. The
intellect and affections of horse point
out two things SO important to trainer
that he must bear them in mind until
they become fixed habits of thought.
!. Never under any circumstances,
allow horse to successfully oppose his
will to yours. If you do, he will re-
member it and reasoning by expert
ence, try it again. =. Always keep
his affection, If he dislises you, he
has no wish to please you; and, il his
obedience is always perfunctory, you
will make but little Roadway in train
ing him. These two points assured,
he will almost invariably try to do
whatever you require of him, If he
only knows what it is. David Buffum,
in Success.
