disturbed last week by a one-round fistic
encounter between Mayor Cutshall and
the Rev. Mr.. Forsythe OF the Christian

whether he had been correctly quoted.
The ministed said he had, and the mayor
pasted him one IN the eye. The minister
swung rights and lefts to the body, when
the two clinched. Two of their friends
who parted them called the mill a draw.
Mrs. James Green, pioneer resident
of wymore, died suddenly Sunday of
pneumonia, aged so years. She is sur
vived by her husband and six children.
