A persons! • -counter between Dr. A.
B. Hinkle si* 1 Mr. Fred Daren port oo-
^red M«nr • • afternoon In th* office of
tbe lira. Ilm- le on Jackson street.
Neither • t the participants was badly
hurt, and (be main feature* in tbe story
are a few bruises, some split blood, a
police court trial, directly conflicting
testimony andar exceedingly interne ted
public tbat couldn't help from enjoying
tbe scene in tbe court room yeetsrday
morning as much as they regret tbs cir
cumstance.
There are two eery distinct, separate
and opposite sides to tbs atory of the
tight
Dr. Albert Hinkle declares be whipped
bis opponent in two minutes. Bis
father, Dr. J. B. Hinkle declares the
same thing, and says if be had not inter,
fered and held bis son Mr. Davenport
would have been hurt much worse.
llr. Davenport declares that be got
decidedly tbe beet of the encounter and
had no trouble in accomplishing It, In
spite of tbe fact that Dr. J. B. Hinkle
tried to bold him and help bis so
The sirs. Hinkle state that the fight
started when Mr. Davenport called the
younger physician “a d n rascal."
Mr. Davenport says tbe trouble began
wben Dr. A. B. Hinkle called him “a
d n rascal.”
And that is about the way they con
flict all through the story. Tbe doctors
declare one thing and Mr. Davenport
says just tbe opposite.
There are some minor details In which
they agree, but these details are very,
very few.
It was late Mutdsy afternoon wben
Mr. Dau-n|Hirt called at the oOee of the
pb) siclans to eve about two bills, amount*
fog to *3.30, which be said they owed
him and which they denied. These
three were tbe only onee In tbe
office snd what 'transpired
told by them at tbe trial, and Is all that
can be said of the causes of tbs fight and
tbe encounter l**elf.
People near the oOee saw Mr Daren
port walk up tbe street to his store, with
his shirt all covered with blood. It soon
became noised about that tbe fight had
occurred, and subprsnas were served
upou the parties to appear at police court
at 8 o’clook the next morning.
Everybody beoame Interested and the
court room was filled when Mayor Pro
Tem Wheatley took the chair and an*
nounced that court was open.
“J. F. Davenport,” he called, and that
gentleman responded. Dr*. J. B. and
A. B. Hinkle answered to their names,
and the trials of the participators In the
fight ware begun.
Davenport's Sid*.
Mr. Davenport t.iok the stand first
He stated that he called at Dr. Hlnklo’s
Monday afternoon to sea about $8 AO
doe him, that Dr. Hinkle had admitted
be oared, and that he bad ref need to pay
and denied owing to his clerk that
morning. Dr. Hinkle stated that he
bad a receipt In fail opto April XX, and
tbe items msatloesd were bought long
before that Mr. Davenport Insisted
and the elder physician finally told hie
son to write a check for the amount,
which was done, and oo being turned
over to Mr. Davenport he gave a reeeipt
He then began talking to Dr. J. B.
Hinkle about another matter, when Dr.
A. B. Hinkle walked up near bit
Here's a sketch of the way tbe other
story ran:
Mr. Davenport caste to the office aad
in a bluff tone asked If they dented
owing a bill of gg aa They did deny It
and had a receipt covering It. still de
nying that It was due him, they Anally
paid it. Then Dr. A. B. Hinkle fold
Mr. Davenport that he had been making
slighting remarks about him, and now
that tbe two did not speak, be wanted
him to stop. Mr. Davenport denied
making the remarks, but Dr. Hlokle in*
sisted.
"Shut up," said Mr. Davenport, "I'm
not talking to you " As he said this
be poshed him violently aside. Dr.
Hinkle remonstrated, saying he didn't
want to have a difficulty, sepeclaily la
bis office. All this time Mr. Davenport
had his hand In his hip pocket and jerk
ing It out with a knife In It, jumped at
the doctor aad exolalmed: "You're a
d—n rascal."
Dr. Hinkle dodged, but received a cut
on tbe forehead with the jaws of the
knife. The doctor reaobed down snd,
picking up s poker, went at Mr. Dav.n*
port. The two clinched and the rfoo.ur
was beating him badly and bad i ushed
him across the room when Mi. Haven-
port called for help and begged the eider
doctor to bold bis eon until he could get
out. Tbe father compiled and took the
poker from his son and held him. Mr.
Davenport took advantage of this and
bsgan pommeling tbe younger doctor.
This caused the father to release his
sou, who rushed Mr. Davenport out of
tbe door, puochlng him severely. Mr
Davenport again called for help, and as
he did so Dr. Hinkle secured the poker
They were Just outside the door and
Davenport turned and ran down tbe
steps. Ashe ran Hinkle struck him
with the poker.

“Fred Davenport, yon have been mis
representing me over the city and I
want you to stop It.”
Mr. Davenport said be had not mis
represented him.
“Tee you have and yon have get to
stop it"
The younger physician bsgan to get
excited, and made this remark In a high
tone. He again paid no attention to a
denial, and exclaimed:
“Tou’re a rascal." Then reaching
down be picked up a heavy loaded cane
and drawing It back said:
“Fred Davenport, you are a d—n
rascal.”
Then Mr. Davenport struck him,
knocking him down. He started to fol
low it up when tbe elder doctor ran up
behind him and caught him around tbe
body bolding his arms tightly. Dr. A.
B. jumped up and ran at him with tbe
heayy stick. He broke away jnst In
time to throw up bis am and partially
warded off the blow, gettings hurt on
bis am and a alight bruise on tbe hand.
He then caught his assailant around the
neck aad pounded him in the face, mak
ing the blood spurt. At the same time
Mr. Davenport dragged him towards
the door, and thinking he had punished
him enough, released him when the
door was reached. All throe then
caught hold of the stick. Mr. Devon-
port gave It a shove sanding the other
two towards the door. Then, fisting
satisfied that be had punished him
•sough, walked up the street to his
store.

to light the hearers wondered. They

Tbe two Hinkle* agreed in their state
ment. A. B. Hinkle was cross exam
ined by Davsnport, and In one part the
latter asked him:
"Albert, you say 1 called for help!"
There wss no answer, and the quee-
tion was reported.
"Tour Honor,” exclaimed tbe young
doctor, “I call upon you to have me
treated with proper respect. I am Dr.
Hinkle to that fellow."
The next question was addtsssed to
him as Dr. A. B. Hinkle.

were It put Into execution, would eouad
tbo death aueli to American Irtedom
and tbe glorloue constitution as written

Into my soul a warning—col perhaps as
