A Terrific Fight With Knives

 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 12.—Particulars of a horrible duel with knives in Clark County have just been received here. It appears that Charles Wright and Jasper Owens, two young men, got into a quarrel while at work in a cotton field. Each drew a knife, and, advancing towards each other, a terrific fight commenced.

Wright gave himself up claiming that he acted in self-defense. He is highly connected.
