There were e'ght or ton of the county's Wtk koOrtu citizens eugaged. on each siile.araied with repeating rif.es and navy pistols, and the treuble, which haj its inception in a trival matter the day before, culminated in a pitched battle. John D avis was killed by a pistol pis-tol shot said to have Iccn fired after he had been disabled and disarmed. W. Edskin, a constable, was fatally wounded by a shot in the right hip.

Patrick recived a rifle shot aloug side the head and was at first thought to ba dead but rallied, aud his physicans says he wi It live if there bo no concussion of the brain. The repoets as to who are immediat-ly immediat-ly responsible for tho terrible affair are conllicting, and it is not even known who fired the fatal shots. Dud Risner and Samuel Risner were brougnt here this morning by Coroner Cole and a strong guard, charged under a warraut issued . by Monteviile Deskins, with assult on W.T Deskins. The coroner committed com-mitted the dangerous impropriety of making gaurds of persons who were identiUed with the prosecution, and for whose protection tho warrant was issued This was resented by the friends ff the pi iouers and both sides came to town heavily armed. The prisoners rdturned before Police Justice George H-Uardner and the common wealth not being ready for trial, they were released under bonds. There was soun load talking. Onoof the Rlsners very nearly precipitated a fight in town, but the prompt iatcrferanee ef tho authorities pervented it. The fight took place an hour later.Xo arrests ere made aud it is feared another fight is imminent.
