A Little Fracas.
Down at Russell, Kansas last week some of the prominent citizens had a little
excitement of their own. Two of the doctors of that place in arguing over a
certain case in hand came to blows and one doctor came out a little worse for
wear. He jumped up and ran home where he hauled forth a rifle with which to
puncture the other doctor but he could not find his quarry, but finally landed
up at the said doctors office where he proceeded to shoot in the door but
luckily enough the other doctor was not in. The shooting doctor was arrested and
brought up before the court. The county attorney being out of town the judge
acted in his place and the doctor was summarily dealt with. In the afternoon the
Judge got in an argument with one of the business men over the case and the
Judge came away considerably battered up. This is a very interesting little
fracas and one to be regretted also as we understand all of the parties involved
are first rate citizens but even this kind can stir up a!
 little excitement occasionally.
