Bradford was killed at Richmond, La, in street
fight by John T. Mason on Thursday, the 18th

fight duel, which was refused on account of the
advanced age of the challenger. Some time af-

was engaged in game, and reading the challenge
aloud, denounced Mason as coward, &c. He
then left the room Mason proceeded to his resi-

gun, and came out into the street, where he met
with Bradford and after few words had passed
between them, the latter tempted to draw pis-

charged with buckshot, and MORALLY wounded

while lying on the ground Bradford fired his piss

lived but a few minutes after being shot,
