Serious Outcome of Quarrel.

Freezing, Va, Sept. 26.-Alberi
Stone and Lum Moore, moonshiners
of Skeetrock, had "run" to come of
Saturday. They started into "divide
up" when a dispute arose over the di-
vision.
Stone was sitting on the ground near
the still, and Moore, losing his tenn
per, kicked him violently about the
chin.
Stone sprang from his seat and
whipped a knife from his pocket, with
which he slashed Moore twice about
the side. Moore then seized rock
and struck the other on the back,
which settled the alteration. Both
men are badly, if not seriously hurt.
At last accounts neither of them had
made any complaints to the authorI-
ties.

JUDGE WATSON WINNER.
Compilation of Returns Gives Him a
Majority of Nine.

Richmond, Va, Sept. ga careful
compilation of returns from the OIL
cial abstracts of Saturdays congress
sional election received yesterday by
District Chairman Robert Gillian,
at his Office in Petersburg, from all the
counties in the Fourth District, shows
a majority of nine for Judge Wat
son. Two precincts-one in Amelia
and lone in Nottoway,are missing, but
the returns from these, as unofficially
reported and agreed upon by both
sides, were adopted in the compilation.
The figures, compiled from the Off
cial abstracts, as published, differ
slightly from the unofficial returns as
heretofore published, and apparently
seem to settle the contest, SO close
and so long in doubt.
Turnbull's friends in Petersburg
still stand pat on their figures, CIV
ing him a majority of six, and may de-
eide to make some contest, or ask for
a recount in some of the precincts,
when the district committee meets
next Monday night to canvass the full
returns and announce the result.
