Cause two Former Friends To Quarrel. They Seek the Field of Hanor to Fight as Knights of Old. One Falls Wounded Unto Death and the Oilier in the Law's Stern lirasp. Saturday altera o mi about two o'clock Fred. Koon'.z and William Douglass became involved in a difficulty that resultedi Het from Douglass's revolver plowing a hole thiought Koontz's ieft lung. The young men are well known in the country. Douglass is tin son of William Douglass iiving at , Clear Creek, and Fred. Koontz is the son of Paris Koontz, a well known and prosperous farmer living about a mile southwest jof South Union. There has been ill-feeling existing between the two young men for some months. They met in town Saturday aad Koontz accused Douglass of circulating obnoxious reports about him. Douglass denied the accusationand ehey agreed to fight it out. any trouble in town. They jrocured their horses and in company with Clarence Coleman, William Thrasher, Cron Thrasher, Samuel Koontz, Charles Helms, John Coleman and Paris May, started down the west south pike. When at the intersection of the Rockport road, Fied. Koontz dismounted and walked around his horse towards Douglass, who had by this time jumped from his saddle and advanced to meet his adversary. As accurate a report as can be gleaned by the Wokld reporter of the tight is substantially as follows: j When the two belligerents dis-j mounted Douglass pulled a pistol i from his coat pocket and began j firing. He fired four , shots at I Koontz, the first shot taking effect, j Koontz grappled with Doulas3 and endeavored to gain possession of the gun. During the struggle for the weapon the crowd of bystanders did not interfere. In the struggle for the gun Douglass succeeded in Bring three shots, two of which penetrated his own clothing. Koontz finally threw his man and held him on the ground until he begged to be allowed to arise. Koontz made him give over his gun and then let him up. Lt a second Koontz began to totter and would have fallen but for the timely interference of friends. He was carried into the residence of John Hendrickson near by and a messenger hastily dispatched for Dr. J. E. Harris, who quickly responded. Upon examination Dr. Harris found that Koontz had been shot through the left side under the nipple, the ball penetrating the left lung where it lodged. Dr. Harris probed for the bullet but becoming fearful of bad results that would likely follow, owing to the nature of the wound, decided not to try to remove the bullet. The wound was dressed and Koontz tafyen to his father's residence about eight miles southwest of the city, near South Union. Immediately after the shooting Douglass mounted his horse and drove to his home at Clear Creek

telling the crowd that he was going home to procure money to pay his

fine. It seemed that he did not j realize the enormity of his crime j until arrested. Paris May came to the city and .swore out a warrant for Douglass' arrest before J- O. Burbauk, J. P. The warrant was placed in Constable Alex. Snoddy's hands for service and together with Morton Koontz, an uncle of ihe wounded man, proceeded to Clear Creek where they found young Douglass and placed him under arrest. Constable Snoddy returned to the city about four o'clock with his prisoner and he was at once taken before Justice Burbank, who placed him under 82,500 bond, which was lowered to $1,500 on a plea of his counsel, to appear at the preliminary hearing tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The funeral of Dr. Daniel Kirkwood occurred from the Walnut Street Presbyterian church yestermorning at nine o'clock. The .services were in charge of llev. M. G. Allison, who preached! an eloquent sermon. ! The remains arrived on the 4:0S train and were iniu.ediatelv taken ! i to C. C. Turners undertaking es-i tablishnient where they lav in gtate from seven to nine o'clock. Hundreds of people. his -friends in every station of life embraced the opportunity of once and for j the last time of looking upon the j features of one they all respected, loved and revered. The face was changed but little. It had the same pleasant, dignified expression that it always bore through life. The business houses all closed out of respect for the dead from 9 lo 10 o'clock during the services. Those who could possibly attend did so and the large audience room j at the church was crowded lon,r: before the time for the services tO: begin.

Allison took for his text, the eight Psalm, "The Heaven declare the Glorv of God, and the firm era nt showeth his hand-work." He said Dr. Kirkwood kn-nv more about the heaven than the writer of that Psalm, indeed he had pierced the mysteries of space perhaps deeper than any of his compeers get all through life he breathed; the same spirit of awe :;':d reverence as the sweet singer of Israel. He alluded to his career as a Christian as a member of the church which he had during his residence in this city attended worship for; thirty years regularly only being! deterred from doing so by sickness, j 'Faithful indeed in the Lord's J work, a beautiful example to fol-! low." Rev. Allison closed his brief remarks by paying a glowing tribute to the man of a world-wide reputa-j tion, whose name was a household j word and whose memory was ever new to his old home and associates. Gone to his rest, to his reward. to the helpmate in life, which life j was spent for his enjoyment, his welfare and entertainment; his has! been a model life, one we would j do well to study and adopt. Dr. Swain also paid a glowing tribute to the dead astronomer. Resolutions were read by Dr. Woodburn that were adopted 13T the faculty and also from the Beta Theta Phi fraternity. The remains were then taken to Rose Hill where they were interred j by the side of his loving faithful : wife, whose soul had preceded his to that eternal home. It was his

last request that his resting place siiould be where kind loving hands and sympathetic hearts consigned it yesterday. May he rest in peace. His life so humble yet so great was full of perplexities but he never complained. Daniel Kirkwood was a man of one character, the same day in and day out from birth to death. The remains were accompanied from Riverside by Mr. Martin Hoover. Prof. S. J. Kirkwood. of Wooster, Ohio., a nephew, also attended the funeral. The active pall bearers were: Dr. Allison Maxwell.

BISHOP WHITE. Delivered mi bit' liacealaureate AdtlreKS at the CoHeR-e Chapel Yesterday. The Annual Baccalaureate ad dress to the 'graduating class was delivered yesterday afternoon by; Bi

Bishop White, of Indianapolis, at! Kent's estate the complaint must , ,,,, . r, , nM .establish a prima facia indebtedihe Old- College Chapel. Ihe the estate (2)The

the serjuor class met in tne indepen dent Hall a few minutes before :J:u0 p. m., the time set for the ad-1 dress, and headed by President , , , , . hwain and the board ot trustees j slowly tiled in the audience room, j where were already assembled about j live hundred people. The Pandon orchestra, of live pieces, rendered music for the occasion, opening the exercises by a beautiful march. Bishop White, of the Episcopal church of Indiana, dressed in the ofiicial robe of that church, followed with the address. The theme of his discourse was "'The Difference Between Culture and Education." He said that one .might have a line education yet not have true culture. While on the other hand one might have culture and but little education. In substantiation of these statements he used two simple illustrations. He asked if a knowledge of music and ability to play the piano is sufficient to enable one to play. And aaain, is the ability to copy accurate, enough to allow one to become a groat painter? No, it is not. One must have something else. It is necessary that that there be a purpose in anything. Education without a purpose is nearly a waste of time; it is a delusion and causes a sense of dissatisfaction. How is it without an education but yet with a purpose? In that there is, at least, hope. But where there is both education and purpose is where there is the realization of the highest life. Bishop White dwelt a considerable time upon the skeptics of to day and f.n opposition to them gave some interesting and forcible j facts. In concluding the speaker turned to the seniors and gave them some valuable advice. The manner of the speaker, forcible, earnest, natural, evidenced that he was a member of the clergy. The exercises were begun and closed bj' short prayers from Dr S. R. Lyons, secretary of the board of trustees.
