INJURIES unon his antagonist.

injuries upon his antagonist.
The Rock Creek church is the meet
ing house Of the residents Of an almost
inaccessible mountain district, and the
duel grew out of the rivalry of the two
preachers, each of whom sought to es-
tablish himself as the only pastor OF
the neighborhood
Isaac Perry and his brother Blaine
were brought to the Whitley county
jail in this city after the killing, and 1t
is reported that friends of the Rev. MT.
Vanover are planning to storm the
building and lynch the brothers. The
authorities are planning to arrest eight
other men, suspecting plot to do
away with Hanover.
The duel was fought on the platform
and steps leading to the pulpit of the
church. The edif1ce was crowded with
men and women who had assembled
to hear serious charges against Van
over and pass Judgment on his case.
These charges had been brought by
Isaac Perry and 1t was the second trial.
On the first trial Vanover had been
deposed and the pulpit had been given
to Perry. The deposed pastor charged
he had not had a fair trial and the sec
ond hearing of the charges was the re-
suit of his determined efforts to have
another trial.
1t was while the Rev. Mr.. Vanover
was speaking in his own defense that
Isaac Perry opened hostilities. The
speaker characterized the effort to keep
him from the pulpit as persecution
AS he voiced this charge there was a
Wild yell from the front benches of the
church and Isaac Perry leaped from
the pew where he was seated with his
brother Blaine. AS he sprang toward
the pulpit he drew q bowie knife.
Blaine Perry followed a few feet be-
hind him.
Vanover saw Isaac Perry coming
with uplifted knife and whipped out
his own weapon, a bowie. Almost be-
fore the first terrified shrieks of the
women had been voiced, so suddenly
that none of the men in the front
benches had an opportunity to inter-
fere, the two pastors were locked in =
death grip.
Each grasped the others knife hand
Back and forth across the narrow plat
form and nearer and nearer the edge
of the pulpit stairs they wrestled
Blaine Perry stood with drawn bowie
knife at the foot of the steps and
menaced all who sought to stop the
duel.
The men wrestled for several min
utes. but neither was able to free his
right nand and get in stab with his
knife. Suddenly. according to the story
of eye witnesses, the struggling pair
half fell over the edge of the steps and
on TO Blaine Perry.
Vanover was underneath. supported
by the body of his antagonists broth
er. Blaine Perry turned and seized
Hanover. as If to push him back on to
the platform in a standing position.
This apparent offer of assistance, on
lockers declare, was in reality an act Of
treachery. for it seemed as IL Blaine
Perry jerked vanovers left hand from
Isaac Perry's right wrist. A second
later and Perry's blade had flashed
once across Vanover's throat.

Cattle.
While choice steers ruled strong
other grades of cattle were weak and
late sellers. Butcher cattle were
steady to strong on good sorts, tho the
market was very uneven.
Good fat cattle sold very wen last
week. tho good many were Of
fered. Top reached sS75, which, ual-
ity considered, was about as high as
anything has sold this year. A very
strong percentage of the receipts con-
sisted Of good steers from $1,000 $50,
and that SO many sold at this high
level indicates that the outlet Is broad
for finished material. Practically all Of
the good cattle are steady with a week
ago. Many 'stlllers were received last
week and they sold right up to the high
summit and never In any previous year
have they been so high. Sales We're
mainly at sS0O@S.50. 1t Is estimated
that there are about enough 'stillers to
supply the market another month.
Medium cattle at S7NO6,s.oO declined
10l Is cents during the week, while the
lighter and less attractive steers show
ing the effects of grass sold 1926
cents lower, mainly at ss.00G6.75. A

are receiving consignments which
makes them Independent Of the COM
mon and medium natives The range
of prices is gradually getting wider

very choice fed Texas cattle arrived
late this week which sold at $7.65.
Sheep.
The unldergrade sorts were quiet.
Lambs were a little stronger where the
quality was good. Ind choice sheep sold
better, but the general market was
quiet in spite Of the fact that 1t did not
look as tho there would be any very
great arrivals.
