The fight started over an attempt of
Lambert, who was clerk in a country
store at Green Shoals, to collect a
long standing account against Adams.
The men engaged in an argument
over the account in the street several
days ago. Adams was with friends at
the time, and after heated words he
struck Lambert, who was alone. Lam |
bert did not fight, but yesterday, while |
with his two brothers, he came upon |
Adams in company with George Mead. |
The fight was renewed upon sight, all |
three men being heavily armed. The
firing opened in the street, and the men
were almost enveloped in a cloud of
smoke. Brumfield rushed between the
faction with hands uplifted, unarmed
and crying stop. boys, stop" Caught
between the cross fire of the two op-

LuREp BY LIGHT.
some New Nocturnal Experiences OF
South American Insects.


south American Insects
Interesting results have followed the
! Introduction Of the electric Hight in the
streets of Port of Spain, Trinidad. The
largely populated insect world OF that
region has never before seen such bril-
liant illumination as the arc lights Of
fered and they have shown great curl
Osity, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every morning the ground under the
lamps is found to be strewn with thou
sands of dead insects of many varie-
ties. 1t is impossible to walk without
treading on them.
If the supply of insects were not in
exhaustible some of the varieties
would certainly be doomed to extinc-
ton. In fact one kind is evidently less
numerous now than before the electric
lights were installed
This is a kind of giant water bug, Of
which such incredible numbers were
destroyed that the bug has come to be
generally known as the electric beetle.
The lamps are no longer visited by the
crowds Of these bugs that at first came
to inquire into the meaning Of the
strange brilliance Either the species |
has been greatly depleted through the
destruction of many thousands of its !
members or else some kind of instinct !
has told them that arc lamps are dan
gerous things to meddle with.
The owls in their wisdom have
learned to profit by the fascination
which the arc lamp has for insects.
As the illumination is turned on at
the owls may be seen wend-
ng their way to the neighborhOOd of
he lamps, for they have discovered
hat their prey is more abundant there
han anywhere else.
The feast is spread before them, and
II they have to do is to dash out from
he trees and capture moth or a bee
Ie that is winglng its way to the daz- .
ling goal. Then the owls return to
heir perches and wait for the next
Omer.
The bats also have learned to make
SO of the lights in this unspOrtsman-
Ike manner for catching moths and
her insects.
Not few explorers in tropical re-
ions have complained that it is i'm
)ssible to have a light in camp during 1
e night without incurring unpleasant
stations from myriads of insects.
ne of them recently wrote that he
rs often forced to dine in the dark.
an attempt to use light attracted
YARNS of flies, which got into his
es and dropped into his food.
The naturalist Eugene Andre in his
