InE PISTOL FIGnT AT TIE kENTuCKS FAIR.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
gives the following particulars of this horrible
episode:
1t appears that II personal fcud had existed for
neary year between Thomas Butord of Fay
cite county, and Goorg, II. Thomas, of Mt.
Sterling, in Montgomery county. They were
both hetw cen the AGES oftwonty-fye and thirty
yenrs, and belonged to good families. The orig
nal difficulty occurred at II billiard room. They
met this morning IN Lexington, and understand
they had fstcuif fight in the forenoon, some
where IN the Far grounds. About two o'clock
they met again close to the ampitheatre, IN the
centre of the Fair grounds, each armed with one
of Colt revolyers. When within about fifteen
PAGES of one another they deliberately aimed at
ench other, and fired; neither shot took effect.
They continued 10 stand and fire until each had
fired six rounds Buiord's fourth fire sent ball
into Thomas thigh, which caused him to stagger
n very little, though he did not fall, but stoo /
his ground, and fired two more shots at Buferd.
lie then threw his pistol down and was in the
act Of drawing his knife to advance upon his OPP
ponent when young man,a friend of his n"med
Ferguson, handed him another pistol charged
with powder and ball to try his luck again This
was seen by Capt. Buord, n brother of the young

Of witnesses in the case, which having been fin

The following Counsel appeared in the case;

they were ready and anxious 10 90 into trial, but
that from the length of time that would ncoessa-

possible to get through it IN the period to which
this term of the court is limited, aud therefore

The Judge coneurred in the opinion that the
term OF the court would be too short To conclude
the trial.and consented to appoint special term.
