While young Judge BOLES was coming up from Pageville, Tuesday, driving a team, the 
mules took fright at something and wheeled suddenly. Judge went out of the wagon 
and stood on his head in the road in mud something more or less than a foot deep. 
He came on to town, introduced himself to his friends and cleaned up. The team ran 
off after throwing him out, but were fortunately stopped before any injury was done 
to either them or the wagon.

A Big Fight. ___pring, Edmunson [sic] county, __ days ago, two young men by the name 
of MADISON, and the other by the name of John ___ndsay [LINDSAY} became involved in a 
difficulty, when young Madison drew a kife and attempted to cut Lindsay. Mitchell 
Lindsay, a younger brother of John Lindsay, thereupon struck Madison over the head, 
seriously injuring him. The Sheriff of Edmunson county was present and arrested the 
young men.

Shot Her Sisters. A curious shooting affair took place at Pageville, Saturday. Mr. 
Logan ESTES, is the clever blacksmith at Pageville. Friday he killed hogs. Saturday 
his thirteen-year-old daughter, Carrie, was playing with her sisters five and two years 
old, and got into a game of "killing the hogs." In the course of the proceedings the 
elder child leveled her father's rifle (which she supposed was unloaded) at her two 
little sisters and pulled the trigger with the usual result. The gun went off and 
the bullet passed through the thigh of one and through both legs of the other. After 
inflicting three wounds, they all passed on and no trace as to where it finally 
imbedded itself can be found. Fortunately, the injuries inflicted are only flesh-wounds 
and are not regarded at all dangerous. It is not likely, however, that the game of 
"hog killing" will soon be again played in the Estes household.
