Helen furnace : Scitia time ago t thejr
became engaged in a quarrel which
originated at a country dance and has
lasted until now. They are both
young men and Brooks has been rriar-
rled little less than a jCir , and two
daya ago hU wife bore him a child.
Brooks celebrated tWa event by get
ting on a aproo and returning to the
furnace mot Love and the old feud was
reminded. Some hot words ensued ,
and a fight enaned. BrooLs picked
up a heavy picca of cinder and struck
Love on the head , and the fight end
ed for a time , Lore premising to renew -
now tbo hostilities in ( ho morning.
When morning arrived Brooks wai In
formed that Love had purebred a re
volver , and he , too , prepared himself
with a five-shooter and proceeded
with his friends to the furnace. There
he met Love with a crowd of backers.
Both were prepared for the battle ,
and It did. not take long to
find sufficient cause. Followed by
their respective cliques , the two prin
cipals walked along together calling
each other hard names until Love
finally picked up a brick and threw It
at Brook's head. Thia Brooks warded
off but received a severe bruise on the
elbow. At the Fame time ha drew a
six-shooting 32 calibre revolver and
fired , the ball entering Love's abdomen
but he did not fall. "Give It to him
back , " yelled one of the crowd ,
and Love also drew and fired.
There were probably fifty mon
circling round the combatants , each
urging his favorite to fire and each
armed with a knife and piatol. The
principals neechd no encouragement ,
however. Frenzied with excitement
they fully determined to sett e mat
ters then and there. The crowd
yelled and the fighting continued un
abated , Love firing a little faster than
his opponent. But Brooks' aim seems
to have been none the steadier for de
lay. The men were standing at ehort
range , each firing alternately in com
paratively g0od order. Finally Love
began retreating , Brooks following him
and still firing. Invo backed as far
as the engine house corner and sgun
standing hia groiind emptied his re
volver at bis opponent ) who fell witli
a bullet in each leg. The crowd
surged around the f.illen man , whc
was vainly attempting to re-load bii
emptied pistol. Brooks also called t <
his friends for a knife to remove thi
aholla from his weapon. Both mei
were now hora do combat , but cacl
. was anxious to continue the battl
- * I until one or the other would acknow
ledge himself"defeated. . t'he ' friend
of the parties now declared the battl
ended and the combatants were take
from the field. Love is dying an
Brooks is under arrest.
