There are no Pullman cars on trains
AZ and 4S any longer. The Inaugural

| For the past month or longer, S. j.
Liske and N. ]. Hunter, who live near
Maple, formed a co-partnership to fish
at Chessahowitzka, and all went we'll
/
were drinking some, and on their way
| to camp a dispute arose over 20 cents
due the firm, and Mr.. Liske very gen.
| erously offered to pay the amount, but
was denied the pleasure of doing so. 1t
| soon became evident to Mr.. Liske that
Mr.. Hunter was seeking trouble and
he asked the latter to stop and let him
off the wagon and return home. This
Hunter refused to do and Liske jumped
out, Hunter following him and strik-
ing twice at him inflicting painful
| wounds in the left arm and back of the
shoulder. Both struck the ground al
about the same time, and Hunter en-
deavored to cut Liske the third time
but his blow was warded off, and
LiSke cut Hunter witt. his knife only
making one stab, and he laid on his
back, calling aloud for some man tC
take him home or to his gate. In q
few minutes, and before any materia
aid could be furnished him, he was
dead. Hunter is reported to have seer
similar trouble before. and at one timt
was taken home for dead on account
of wounds from his antagonist. II
this case. while Sheriff Carter was il
the vicinity, and promptly placed
Iiske under arrest, all the witnesse!
for the state seemed to testify in favor
of the defense, and he was aquitted
One of the witnesses was a son of tn.
deceased, and his testimony alon,
would have cleared the defendant. Mr.
Liske appears to be a good citizen, ant
hard working farmer, and while he re
grets deeply the occurrence, he feel
that he has only done what duty de
manded him to do in protecting hi
own life, and those who heard the tes
, timony think so too.
