NEW CASTLE. Ind Oct 25-As the re-
suit of a quarrel this afternoon Frank Orr
cut Ell Fox seriously about the face with
a knife and the former was shot in the
right side and head by the latter with a
shotgun at his home in Lockwood and lies
in a dangerous condition, with his lungs
full of shot.
The quarrel was the outcome of long
standing feud between the families, which
was started by the respective children and
was taken up by the parents. After the
first fight. in which Fox was cut and which
started at the shovel factory, both went to
their homes which stand side by side, and
procured their shotguns.' When Fox fired
Orr dropped his gun and staggered to the
house. Medical assistance was called and
the officers sent for.
Orr's wife is visiting at Pendleton and
does not know of the shooting Fox was
taken to Jail to await trial. Orr probably
will die.
