Guy Lawson, brother of Mrs
Morgan, met Wiliisms and accused him
of debauching his sisters; from words
they rapidly came to blows; then pistols
were drawn, and an indiscriminate firing
begun.
The friends Of the parties rushed in;
c.. r. Williams shot Lawson, and Frank
Buskirk, brother of the one who is ac-
