occurred over in the vicinity of Elm

came over on Kim Creek to a claim
belonging to one of the parties, and
while there an altercation ensued be
tween Wm. Arnold! and young Dice,
in regard to the ability of a dg to
'pick up" a jack rabbit. The debate
waxed warm, and .finally cauie blows,
atid then our infirmant s;ys that Mr.
Arnold dri-w a- jack-knife from his
pocket and stabbedyoung'Dice, inflict
ing an ugly wound in tEo left brcas ,
though not dangeronst Mr Crouch
dressed the wound, and! the young
man, though weak irotn the loss of
blood was trble to "ride Rome. Ma.
