THE COL0RADO DUEL.
Special D;spatch TO the Times

spesiai Dispatch 10 the Times
DENVER, Col, June 9-Last even
ing intelligence reached this city, that
fatal encounter had taken place be-
tween two we'll known cattle .raisers, at
River Bend station, on the Kansas
Pacific Railroad, fifty six miles east of
this place. The particulars of the at
fair are ascertained as follows: 1t
seems that about noon yesterday some
difficulty occurred between a man
named o. Davis, late station agent at
River Bend, and one of his employ
ees. Alfred ID. Jessup, Jr., was
standing by and espoused the cause
of the subordinate to the great irri
tation of Davis. High words soon
followed, and blows, if not worse,
seemed imminent. But quarrels in
the section in which the affair took
place are frequent, especially among
herders, and the few people around
bance. Presently Jessup and Davis
were observed going out on the prai-
rie together, but neither at that time
showed any noticeable anger or excite
ment In a short time, however, shots
were heard, and then the men about
the station realized the true state of
affairs.
The two men had gone about five
hundred yards from the railway ,coolly
measured off distance of fifty PAGES
and were blazing away at each other.
Jessup was showing great excitement,
and was jumping wildly about among
the cactus plants. He fred three shots
from his revolver altogether at his an
tagonist, none OF which took. Davis,
on the contrary, was wonderfully cool
and collected Standing perfectly still,
he took steady aim with his W inches.
ter fifle,an fired two'shots, the second
taking effect in Jcssnp's right side and
lpiercing the heart, just as the excited
spectators reached the. scene of the
tragedy Jessup lived only a few min
utes. His slayer continued to display
the most remarkable GOODNESS, helping
TO carry the body to the station. Upon
being questioned il regard to the
tragic affair, Davis stated that Jessup
had not only taken up the quarrel of
an employee, making it his own, hut
followed 1t up with a challenge to
fight, each to choose his own weapon.
Davis accepted and selected Win
chester rifle, and Jessup chose his Colt 3
navy revolver. The contest was an
unequal one. not only as; to weapons bat
as to men, Davis being q crack shot and
Jessup mere novice with his pistol.
Many do not believe Davis story:that his
victim was the challenge party, as Jessur
was never known to have been engaged
in any difficult of serious nature be-
fore. and il is mt down IN his cradit thai
he lost his life through his earnest desire
to see fair play and because he believed
man was being unjustly assailed. Soon
after dark Davis mounted horse and
disappeared. As yet no attempt has been
made to arrest him. Jessup's body was
brought here to-day. 1t will be EN-
balmed and sent East.
