GAINESVILLE. Mo-. Nov. s3 Tile

desperate duel with bowie knives in a
lonely spot on the mountainsidc, six miles

both were wounded
The two women. Mrs. Frank Graham
and Mrs. James Crabtree. are sisters-in
law Their husbands have been WORKING
a large farm on shares. Until recently
there had been no trouble between them.
The duel was the outgrowth Of dis
agreement between the husbands over
a settlement with merchant who bought
their cotton and had advanced them funds
during the summer. But no clash occurred
between the men. and the families re-
turned 70 their homes, apparently at peace
with each other When quarrels arose
later the women took part In them, and
as result they decided to settle 1t by
a duel BY agreement, accordingly, they
went to a clearing in the woods on the
mountainslde, nearly a mile from their
home, accompanied by the ten-year-old
daughter OF Mrs. Graham.
AT first the two combatants hurled
stones at each, other. Then both drew
KNIVES lINil tie HN0NitH Va hA'A
and hand-to-hand battle ensued. Mrs
Crabtroe received several slashes across
the face, hands and breast, but none Of
the wounds is of a serious nature. In
return she succeeded IN wounding Mrs.
Graham in the right arm. the cut extend
ing from the shoulder TO the wrist.
Mrs Graham tainted from loss Of blood
and her daughter, thinking that she was
dead. ran home screaming. Mr.. Graham
hurried to the scene and revived his wife
and carried her home and sent son to
Gainesville for a doctor
In the meantime the sheriff Of Ozark
county learned OF tho affair and with his
deputy went to the farm and arrested
the two women. Both We're brought TO
Gainesville and placed in jail, but both
were soon bailed.
The charge against the women is as
sault with deadly weapons with intent
to XIII, which is a felony In this state.
The place where the duel was fought
is In one Of the widest sections Of Ozark
county Apparently the women selected
the place with a view Of preventing any
Interference.

TWO MANI10WOC BOYS
AT ANNAPOLIS,

Manitowoc enjoys the unique distinc
tion of having two of her boys enroll AS
members of the Naval Academy of An
napolis at the same time. Hans Ertz
and John Falge have notified their par.
ents that they have passed both the ply
sical and mental examinations and have
entered the institution as students
Hans Ertz is the son of C. &. Ertz of this
city. He is graduate of both the West
Side and North Side High Schools
John Falge is the son of Dr. Louis Falge
also of this city but formerly of Reeds
vile. The boys were appointed by Con
gressman Davidson and Senator Steph
enson John Falge was first appointed
as an alternate and was taken when the
principal failed to pass. This is an il.
lustration of opportunities coming to
those who are ready for them. Both
boys have been hard workers and they
certainly merit the further opportuni-
ties that have been given them.

ANOTHER LECTURE ON INDIA.

Last Friday evening the second lee
ture by J. Mohammad Ali on the sub.
iect christianity the Hope of India
was given al the ST Paul Norwegian
Lutheran church. In this lecture the
speaker entered more into the religious
life of India, explaining many OF the
customs growing out Of their beliefs
He stated that the native religions were
based upon the most perfect ancient
philosophy and yet they had fallen short
as they could not show any fruits. With
the caste system India cannot progress.
1t is held in bonds that bind the people
down. 1t is only by the introduction of
Christianity that this caste system can
be broken, education make its way a
mong the people and thus bring new
life to the people. He mentioned the
fact that the land has many grand and
beautiful temples but these are not for
people of low caste. The speaker also
described the great temple of Kali from
WHICH NdICutId SeIS ltS udlie' Ndi io
a goddess of human blood and her de
votees are the Thugs of India. These
murderers -shaye now almost been eX-
terminated by the British government,
but even now if it is possible for one of
these worshippers to procure human
blood to sacrifice to this goddess it is
done.
Mr.. Ais lectures have been very in
structive and have opened up the true
life in India to the people who were for
tunate enough to hear him. He begins
his Chautauqua trip in Fredonia, Kan
sas, the latter part of the month, being
sent out on the western circuit this
season.

TWO CLASS SERMONS.

Last Sunday evening the graduates of
the North Side High School together
with their teachers and frieuds assembl-
ed at the Presbyterian church. The
church was filled with people. Rev.
johnson preached the class sermon TAX.
ing IA his text When Thou Shalt Make
Thy Way Prosperous. He emphasized
the thought that education is to show
itself in service. Action is wanted from
the present generation, action which
is the result of careful meditation and
prompted by strong conviction of right.
He spoke of moral courage as one of the
great essentials of II life that is to be
successful in the true sense of the word.
The church was prettily decorated for
the occasion and special music was fur
nished by the choir. A solo was render,
ed by Miss Ethel Hensen.
At Two Rivers the class sermon was
given by Rev d. r. Anderson of the Con
gregational church in the auditorium of
the school. He spoke of The Supreme
Value of Wisdom" He emphasized the
fact that true success in life depends
upon wisdom, not upon wealth, power,
or prestige. Wisdom in its true sense
means more than knowledge. 1t is the
power to discern what is right and
wrong. Wisdom uses the intellect and
therefore the stronger the intellect the
greater the store house from which
Wisdom can draw 1t is the wise whose
names live in history, those who have
been able to use their knowledge and
their powers in the service of humanity,
guiding individuals and nations onward
to a higher life.
Special music was furnished by the
chorus of the school There are three
graduates this year.
