Saturdays Battle

It is pretty well known over the county, and especially in court

circles, that there has been for some time an ill feeling between

JAMES NIPPER and his boys on one side and REV. J B HUNT and

son on the other. It seems that this feeling started from a

law suit between JAMES NIPPER and the Baptist Church in that

neighborhood. REV J B HUNT is or was pastor at the said church

and consequently took part in the lawsuit in behalf of his

church. They have been before Justices and Courts with their

case till a great many of the neighbors have become involved

either one way or the other, till there is a general bad state

of affairs in the settlement. But the latest from it took place

on saturday last. We get the report about as follows: REV. MR.

HUNT and his son GEORGE were on their way home from here and

either overtook or were overtaken by HENRY NIPPER, JAS. NIPPER

Jr. and WM. OFFICER who were in a wagon. At any rate a quarrel

was started between them and after HUNT and his son passed the

wagon a rock was thrown by OFFICER, striking GEORGE HUNT's

saddle. The two HUNT's then distmounted and the battle commemced,

and is said to have lasted five or ten minutes. All parties

were badly bruised up we understand, and old man HUNT especially

- who was severly injured from blows recieved on the head. There

is no telling when this matter will end, as the feeling between

the parties grow worse with age. But it is hoped for the sake

of law and order that there will be no more such fooliness.

The Recent Battles

A friend of Mr. JAMES NIPPER called Monday and asked us to make

a correction in our report of the battle between HUNT's and

NIPPER's boys. As he gives it, it is about as follows: The HUNT's

throwed the first rock, and that none of the NIPPER's were hurt

in the fight. Further that the first ill feeling commenced about

a fence that NIPPER claimed HUNT had put on his (NIPPERs)land,

and that the lawsuit with the Baptist church commenced several

months afterwards. The two HUNT's were arrested and gave bond

for their appearance before a Justice on Nov. 4,[1879] In

addition to the above we have heard it said that HUNT's will

also have NIPPER's and OFFICER arrested.

Another Shooting Affair

Saturday last about 4 o'clock pm, JAS. TAYLOR, LUNA RINKLE and

his son DAVID RINKLE, were ridding out of town on Ocoee street

near Masonic Institute, when they were quarrelling about

something, JAS. TAYLOR drew his pistol and shot both RINKLE's.

He fired two shots at DAVE RINKLE - one taking effect in the

breast about the heart, but the ball bounced out; the second

shot passed through the shoulder - - neither one of which are

considered dangerous. The third shot was fired at LUNA RINKLE,

and took effect in the back of the head - passing through the

outer skull. Dr's LONG and RODEFER were called at once and

dressed the wounds. The ball was found in RINKLE's head but

was mashed " flat as a flitter"Both men are doing well as could

a hard head. The Sheriff went to TAYLOR's house in search of

him but failed to get him. We understand since that TAYLOR's

friends have promised to bring him in for trial. From what we

can learn since, the shooting seems to have been the result

of an old misunderstanding between TAYLOR and DAVID RINKLE.
