CUTTING AT TALLAPOOSA 
 
A cutting scrape, we learn, occurred at Tallapoosa, Haralson county, one day 
last week which may result seriously to one of the parties engaged. It seems 
that an old feud existed betwen King McBride and a Mr. Stidham. The latter 
being in Tallapoosa, the old matter was brought up from warm words; the 
parties soon got to fighting in which knives were used pretty freely. McBride 
received three cuts and Stidham some five or six before they were separated. 
Some of the wounds of Stidham are considered quite serious and it is thought 
may result in death. 
 
McBride was in our town last Monday in attendance upon the U.S. commissioner's 
court as a witness when deputy sheriff Hunt arrived here for the purpose of 
arresting him, owing to the serious condition of Stidham. 
 
We heave heard that Stidham says that he did not cut McBride as he had no 
knife. That McBride was cut, and that pretty badly, there can be no doubt, as 
he showed the wounds to several parties while here.
