Pastor Whips an Editor.

The town of Hardin was the scene g
considerable excitement, a few morn
ings ago, the cause thereof being a
fight, in which Pastor Howard l.. Da-
Wis, of the Methodist church of that
city, and Walter l.. Bales, editor OF the
Hardin News, were the principals. The
trouble grew out Of a sermon delivered
by Davis on the subject of dancing.
Editor Bales took exceptions to some
statements made by Davis in his SER
mon, and when the two met on the
street Bales called the pastor a liar,
and no sooner had the words been
spoken than the preacher knocked
Bales down, and was in a fair way to
give him a sound flogging when the
editor called for some n to take the
pastor off. Rev. Davis is the same
preacher who was assailed at Excelsior
Springs, a few years ago, by a saloon
keeper, to whom he gave a severe
Ihrashing.

rescued from death under peculiar con-
ditions. The child fell into a well 20
feet deep and containing 6 feet of wa
ter. The mother saw the accident, but
was powerless. She al screaming in
to a field half a mile distant, where the
father was at work. 1t was perhaps
twenty minutes before the father
reached the well. He climbed down
or the rough rocks of the sides and
saw the baby floating on the water on
it's back. He was unable to reach it,
and climbed out and secured a ladder.
IL was ten minutes more before he
again descended. The child was still
floating on the water. The baby was
carried out and laid on the lawn be-
side the well. Suddenly it looked up
and laughed. It was unframed.
