fine Council in that flourishing parish

rectors of self:supporting parishes to
go out more frequently into the sur
rounding missionary fields; and it un
dertook with enthusiasm to raise the
sum of four thousand 'dollars for dio
cesan missions. The committee ap

A free-for-all fight occurred late yes

Mr. Bell made an effort
to secure bondsmen last night. On ac
count of the fact that it was Sunday
night he was unable to do so.
The stdries of the affair as told bv
parties are Conflicting. Mr, Bell says
ne was in a small store and cold drink
stand, at the corner of Tenth and
Wooster streets operated by Mr. 'Jim
Walton, white. Mr. Bell says that
Smith came in the place and started
the difficulty. He says that Smith
Seized a heavy door bar and struck
him over the head with' it. Mr. Bell
says that he then took out his knife
and slashed at the negro, the blade
cutting open Smith's face. Mr. Bell
says that Smith then attacked him
with several "near-beer' bottles and
that he was struck several times by
Smith. Mr. Bell says that Kelly, the
other negro, with Smith, stood in. the
doorway a few feet distant and threw
a , rock which landed on the white
man's' forehead.
The negro Kelly, of course, givesan
entirely different version from thej
story outlined above. He statad that
jhe and Smith' "drove to the, store, hav-
rowed from Mr. Chas. Blake and a
buggy rented from: the City Livery
Company. He says that Smith got out
of the buggy, and went in the. place
to inquire if he could get anything
to drink. Kelly declares that Mr. Bell
accosted Smith and cut the latter.
Kelly declares that the white man
then advanced on Smith Avith the stick
nd struck him, Smith is then said
to have Avrenched the stick away from
Mr. Bell and is charged with striking
Khe latter several times with A. Kelly
says that Smith then ran out of the
store "with his face done cut wide
open," as he expressed it. A few
moments later the parties were placed
under arrest. Kelly denied throwing
the, rock as alleged by Mr. Bell-.
Both Smith and Mr. Bell received
Very painful injuries as a result of the
affair. Occurring as it did on Sunday,
the fight created a great deal of ex
citement in the neighborhood where
it transpired.
In the Recorder's court today Mr.
Bell was "exonerated. Kelly was given
three months on the noads and Smith
