From what We can understand Of
the unfortunate trouble at Roan's
Prairie last week wherein one man lost
his life. the whole business was caus-
ed by the internal interferepce Of
''gossips" This paper took occasion
to read lecture on this subject some
days ago and predicted just such an
occurrence as the above II the practice
was not stopped. While the present
trouble Is some eighteen miles re-
moved from us In this instance. It
will surely be closer II our warning
is not needed by those nearby who
indulge In the ugly business.
We have no particular case In mind
AZ the present moment. but In the
