A fatal duel occurred in the parish
of st. James, last Tuesday morning
in which DIR. Charles Gray and Mfr.
Dennis J. Richard appeared as prin-
cipals, Messrs. j. Il. Gallup and E. N.
Bean acting as seconds for the former,
and. Messrs. F. p. Poche and Camille
Mire for the latter. The weapons
used were Smith & Wesson reyolyers,
distance fifteen PAGES. Two shots
were fred without effect, and it was
supposed the affair would be AMIGA
bly, settled at this juncture, but Mr..
Gallup insisted upon another fire,
contrary to tho evident wishes of
both principals ana the other seconds.
At the third fire, DR.. Gray fell dead,
. shot through the heart, and Mr.. Rich
ard received very serious wound in
the stomach which may yet result in
his death, although he was alive at
last accounts and the physicians ex-
pressed hopes of his recovery. Dr..
Gray was u popular and experienced
physician, having served with credit
in the British and Union armies, and
his death is universally depiored in
st. James. He was charitable and
kind hearted, and his loss will be se-
vereiy felt among the poor and needy.
The difficulty grew eut of the recent
misunderstanding between Messrs.
Richard and Jackson of the Sentinel,
and was not of such nature rs TO
demand the blood of either party. DIR.
Gallup is said to have acknowledged
upon the field of honor" that he
alone was responsible for the tragic
of the affair. The seconds |
of DR.. Gray have left for parts un-
known, while Messrs. Poehe and Mire
have been placed under ten thousand |
dollar bonds to answer the charge of
leing accessory to the crime of muir
ler

Frank T. Nichols of Assumption as
the Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer. Gen. Nichols is o lawyer

doubtless be a model Treasurer if
elected, but we do not think he will
even consent to become a candidate.
