Whitesburg, KY., Oct 7-In another desperate battle by members of the Hall-Martin factions on Beaver Creek last night, John Hall, Jr., was instantly killed and Tandy martin was dangerously wounded. Fully sixty shots were exchanged at close range, and it was remarkable that only one was killed.

Joe Hall, leader of  the Hall faction, recently returned from Louisville, where he purchased 200 rifles and a quantity of ammunition, and last night was the first time that any of the Martin faction had ventured from their retreat for three weeks.
