The Greatest Duel on Record.

An old 1MISSlSSlplan furnished the
following to the Woodyille (Miss.) Re
2'al6tecd7e. r9G,eItfss adT
sid'"The famous duel in which forty or
more gentlemen were engaged, in
1928, is still remembered in Natchez.
Col. Jim Bowie, the famos fighter, and
inventor, of the knife. which bears his
name, used to spend a great deal OF his
time in Natchez. He was challenged
by a gentleman of Alexandria, Louis
ana, whose friends to the number of
twenty or more, accompanied him to
Matehez, to see fair play, knowing that
BoWle'was a desperate man, and had his
own friends about him. W6 AH parties .
went upon the field. The complaints
took their places in the center, separa-
ted from their friend in the rear far
enough not to endanger them with their
bslls. Behold the battle array thus ::
''Twenty armed IoGisianians fifty
yards behind their champion, and his
seconds and surgeon; opposite them, as
far behind Bowie, and his seconds and
surgeon, twenty armed Mississippians.
Behold the nights of hatcher thronged
with spectators, and steamboat In the
river rounded to, its decks black with
passengers, watching with deep interest
the scene. The plan of fight was to ex-
change shots twice with pistol, and Ito
close with knives, Bowie, being armed
with his. own terrible weapon, At the
| first fire both parties escaped unhurt.
AT the second the Louisianian was too
quick, and took advantage Of Bowie,
who waited for the word. At this
Bowels second cried t'foul play p and
shot the Louisianian dead. The second
of the latter instantly killed the slayer
of his principal.-Bowie drove his knife
into his man. The surgeons now cross.
ed blades, while with loud battle cries,
came on the two parties of friends, the
light of battle in their eyes. In a mo-
ment the whole number were engaged
in fearful conflict. Dirks pistols and
knives were used with fatal effect, until
one party drove the other party from
the field. / do not know how many
were killed and wounded in all, but. it
was dreadful slaughter. Bowie fought
like a lion, but fell covered with
wounds.-For months he fingered in
the Mansion House before he fully re-
covered,
