LAWYERS IN A FIGHT.

Desperate Battle in a Saloon at Woodward. Ok. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 10. —A deadly battle occurred in a saloon at Woodward, Ok., last night. Lawer Ed Jennings of Woodward was shot and his brother, John Jennings, was mortally wounded. The men who did the shooting were ex-State Senator Temple Houston, of Texas, the eldest son of General Samuel Houston, and ex-Sher-iff Jack Love of Woodward. The trouble began in a courtroom, where Jennings, who was an attorney for the Santa Fe Railroad company, was prosecuting a boy for stealing a keg of beer from a car. Houston was defending him. During the examination of a witness the lie was passed, and the battle followed when the men met later in a saloon, all drawing their guns simultaneously. After the shooting Houston and Love surrendered to the sheriff. John Jennings cannot live.
