herds of cattle, numbering from 400 tcT

A COURT ROOM FIGHT
IN WHICn THREE PER80NS ARE KILLED
AND SEVERAL SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
A dispatch from Lexington, Va., saysj
“Reports received here from Browns,
burg, a small village of about 800 peo
ple, in Rockbridge county, fourteen
miles north of Lexington, state that that
village is in a high state of excitement
over a terrible and bloody fight between
leading men of the vicinity. Three
persons are dead or fatally wounded,
while a number of others are severely
injured. It seems that Dr. P. J.
Walker, one of the most prominent phy
sicians and surgeons of the state, had
threatened the life of Henry Miller, a
prominent and wealthy citizen of Rock
bridge county, for an insult offered the
former’s wife. Miller had Walker ar
rested to keep the peace. Friday even

which ended in both sides drawing theii
weapons. Miller was killed, Dr.
Walker fatally wounded and Mrs. Walk

killed. Dan and William Miller, sons of
the aceused, were shot and dangerously
wounded. Samuel Beaver and others
whose names are unknown, are also in

wounds. Dave Miller is mortally
