OLD FEUD RESULTS FATALLY

Bryantsville, Ind. June 15.-Three
men are dead and two wounded, one
fatally, as the result of a duel fought
on the streets of this village.
James Rout, aged thirty-two; Charles
Rout, aged thirty-six, and Milton Tow,
aged thirty-four, were killed; James
Tow, aged thirty-two, fatally wounded
and Frank Tow, aged twenty-six, Sc
verely wounded.
The fight is the elimination of a
feud between the Rout and Tow fam.
lilies which has existed for several
years.
The Routs reside at Bedford, neal
Bryantsville, and the Tow boys are
farmers near here. The latter are
relatives of the Tow family, which par
ticipated in the notorious TowBass
feud, which formed bloody record foI
Lawrence county and Southern Indi-
ana.
A free gravel road election was be.
ing held here during the day and the
little village of 300 was crowded.
Farmers from the surrounding country
were gathered and there had been con-

FIGHTING FORCE INCREASED
RUSSIAN ARMY RESERVES IN
THREE MILITARY DISTRICTS
CALLED OUT.

st. Petersburg, June 15.-The call
ing out Of the army reserves in the
Kazan, Kieff and Moscow military dis
tricts was announced during the day
This step is for the purpose of filing
up the skeleton reserve corps and to
replace the regular troops already gone
or going to the front. It also fore
shadows the dispatch of four Volga
corps, which was predicted in these
dispatches a month ago.. The latter
would give General Kuropatkin 2OJ,v00
more men.
The Novoe Vremya's military expert
authoritatively denies the report that
General Stackelberg is on the march
SOUTH. He declares that the only Rus
sian forces on the Liaotung peninsula
above Port Arthur consist OF cavalry
and railroad guards and adds that it
ia scarcely possible to interfere with
the siege operations before Port Ar
thur. The chief mission of the Rus
sian cavalry detachment, he says, is
to hamper the movements OF the Jap
anese columns from the south to the
north.

as to whether there were any wo.-s

The opinion is by Cochrane, j., and
the syllabus is as follows:
Failure to give the statutory sig
nails, and running the train at too
rapid rate of speed, does not excuse
negligence on the part of one in
charge Of a team killed at a railroad
crossing.
2 Plaintiffs servant approached a
railroad crossing with which he was
familiar, with his horses on trot,
knowing that train was approaching
at a high rate of speed and very near
to the crossing; that view of the
train was obstructed by buildings and
cars from a point 127 feet back from
the track until he arrived within 8
feet thereof. But for the noise of his
wagon, he could have heard the train
in time to have avoided collision
with it. Under these circumstances,
he was guilty Of negligence preventing
recovery, first: tor attempting to
drive in front Of a rapidly moving train
in close proximity to the crossing,
whereby his team was struck and
killed by the cars; and, second, for
not stopping and thus quieting the
noise of his vehicle and thereby en-
abling himself to hear the train before
getting upon the track in front of it.
