Btenkiron, a cattle man owning a. •• rancli down near Amelia, was shot and instantly killed at Beldeti last Sunday evening bv C. S- Haiti# editor of the Belden News. An mticle appeared in the News to which Hlenkiiou took ex* ceptions and he called upon Harris in the latter# office for the purpose of get* ting him to relr.tcl it. The argument waxeii warm and Uarris says Blenkiron started for him to do him up when he shot him, claiming to have done so in self defense. Self defense waa the ver* diet of the coroners jury. The Frontier is pleased to announce that Judge Klnkahl will resume the , practice of law in ibis city next January after be retires from tbe district bench. The Judge gave up a splendid practice thirteen years ago when he went upon the bench, a practice that was then worth #6,000 a year and that too before the mortgage coupons had ripened suf ficiently to be garnered by the attorneys on foreclosure suits. The judge is an able lawyer and be will undoubtedly soon have a large clientage and will not be confined to the county alone.
