The fight between the two women was brought about by Mrs. Pauline Burnet whipping two of Mrs. Willie Carroll's children out of a cherry tree, according to Mrs. Willie Carroll; however there was some evidence that bad feeling had been 1 brewing between the women for some time. 1 The women, each armed with sticks, according to some of the witnesses, went together in the 1 Dath leading to the well. As the fight got under way, Mrs. Willie 1 Carroll's small son ran to the 1 house and got a shotgun and ; threatened to kill Mrs. Pauline Burnet and Tom Carroll; however, 1 the gun was not fired. According to Mrs. Willie Carroll's 1 testimony and the story told by her ' two small sonsf Tom Carroll assisted his daughter in the fight by pulling Mrs. Willie Carroll off of Mrs. Pauline Burnet every time she had the advantage. Carroll denied this testimony, stating that the only thing he did was to keep Mrs. Carroll's son from joining in and to make Belle stop pulling Pauline's hair once when she was about to pull it all out.

MOST OF THE NEWS ^^LLTHE TIME NUMBER 25 FUNDS SOUGHT FOR LIBRARY $750 Needed To Complete Construction of New Library Building DONATIONS ARE ASKED Seven hundred and fifty dollars is needed for the completion of Warren County Memorial Library. William T. Polkf president of the organization, and C. A. Tucker, secretary-treasurer, pointed out this week to a representative of The Warren Record in the hope that publicity on the financial status of the educational and recreational institution would cause public-spirited citizens of the town and county to make donations for the completion of the building. This money is needed, according to Mr. Polk and Mr. Tucker, to take care of outstanding bills and to pay for screens, lighting equipment, basement repairs, and materials which have advanced in prices due to code regulations, making the total cost of the library exceed the original estimate by around $350. No house-to-house canvass is expected to be made for funds, but it is hoped that friends of the library will make contributions in order that the building may be completed | as soon as possible, it was said. Those willing to make donations are asked to contact either W. H. Dameron, Stephen E. Burroughs or John Mitchell. Mr. Tucker stated that he was aware of the fact there are some people on farms now who would like to help the library but are financially cramped at this time. He said these people could help In other ways, suggesting that several loads of rich dirt and stable manure could be used for planting shrubbery around the building. A list of those making donations as well us the names of those contributing in other ways towards the completion of the library will be published at a later date. When the building is completed, Warren county will have a library building that cost its citizens about $2200 and estimated from a financial standpoint to be worth around eight or nine thousand dollars.
