which have for sumo time occurred in this

named Quarcs and Bell, brothers-in law,
from Selma, Alabama, accompanied by their
seconds and surgeons. They Immediately
started up the shore of the lake about half

inaries for the encounter. Five. shooting
revOvers were the weapons, and ten PAGES
the distance. At the first fire Quailc's hat
was pierced by his antagonists ball; at the
second he was shot through the car; at the
third he received ball through his check.
The fourth round of shots was fired without
any effect. Bell had thus far escaped un
touched: but ut the fifth fire he was wounded
in the hip and his adversary in the shoulder.
The wounded men were then taken TO Il
