About the hour mentioned men-tioned a mau named McComie met a Mr. Frankfort either in or just outside of Walker Bros. Btore. Tbe former accused Frankfort of seducing his daughter, and made at him with a knife. Frankfort started on tbe run up Main street followed by McComie, and from all appearances the former manifested a very deep interest in tbn rce. Frankbrt dodged around Jenoing's corner, ran a few rods west, and then jumped across the street, previous to which, however, Mc Comie is said to have made a lunge at him with the knife, but no harm w-ia done. When acrojs the street Franilort called to have McG'Ojie (flopped, as the latter wa going to kiil him. Some lerson nrknied unto bis petition and be civile away. The only loe or damage pc fAr is a lost hat for Fr.t;;kforl, who appeared lo be so desirous of wining Ithc race that the loos of a bat did not eeem to elicit any attention on his part. |
