fight occurred iu which 6sm stones aud
rcvolvers are said 10 have been used The
participants were A. A. and VIII Pyles
sons Of Caleb Pyles and Calvin pyles. son
OF Kelso Pyles on one side, aud Fli and
Martin Fortney, sons OF Charley Fortucy
on the other side. II seems to have been
the result OF an old feud between the two
families. and the reports OF what took
place on this occasion are very conflicting.
AZ any rate no one was killed but the two
Fortneys were badly used up and the Pyles
boys seemed TO have suffered equal damage.
Warrants we're issued for the Pyles boys
and on Monday a A. and Cal Pyles gave
bond for their appearance al the next term
OF the Circuit Court Will Pyles fed and
has not been found at this writing. II is
said warrants will be sworn out for the
Fortney boys as soon as their accusers are
able to get around and attend TO the mat.

citizens. long settled in this county and
the whole affair is most unto rtunate and
greatly TO be regretted EAGLE EYE.
