M W, Van Pelt and Dr. J. E. 8. Davidson participated, oc curred yesterday about v noon at the station in Huntersvllle. The trouble which lay behind the licks originated some weeks ago at a criminal term Of court, when Mr. Hanson appeared as a leading -witness for the State in a case against Mayor W. S. Cald well, of Huntersvllle. At that (time, and while on the witness stand, he made a statement implicating Mr. Van Pelt In a similar, out altogether distinct case from' that or Mr. did well, and It Is supposed that this was resented when the two men met yes terday. Dr. J. E. 8. Davidson, who happened to be on the ecene. aided with one of the combatants and en tered the lists.
