Forty i'm q Duel.
AN INCIDENT IN MISSISSIPPI LIFE FIFTY
YEARS AGO.

YEARS AGO.
From the Morrlstown (Tenn.) Gazette.
The famous duel in which forty or more
gentlemen were engaged in 1923 is still re-
membered in NatcheZ. Colonel James
Bowie. the famous fighter and invento" of
the knife which bears his name. used to
spend Il great deal OF his time in that city. He
was challenged by a gentleman from AleXan-
driu, La, whose friends to the number OF
forty or more accompanied him to Natchez
to see fair play, knowing that Bowie was a
desperate man and had his own frierd!about
him. All parties went upon the field. The
combatants took their places in the centre,
separated from their friends in the rear, or
enough not to endanger them with their
balls. Behold the battle array thus: Twen-
ty armed Louisiauians fifty yards behind
their champion and his seconds and sur
geon, and opposite them, as far behind
Bowie and his seconds and surgeon. twenty
armed MissisSippians. Behold the heights
Of Natchez thronSed with spectators and
steamer in the river rounded to, its
deck black with passengers Watching with
deep interest the scene. The plan OF
fight was to exchange shots twice with
pistols and to close with knives, Bowie
being armed with his own terrible wea-
pon. At the first ire both parties cs-
capped. At the second the Louisianian was
too quick and took advantage Of Bowie,
who waited the word. At this Bowie's
second cried "foul play" and shot the
Lousianian dead. The second OF the latter
instantly killed the slayer Of his principal.
Bowie drove his knife into this man. The
surgeons now crossed blades, while with
loud cries came on thetwo parties OF friends,
the light OF battle in their eyes. In mo.
ment the whole number was engaged in q
fearless conflict. Dirks, pistols, and knives
were used with fatal effect, until one party
drove the other from the field. do not
know how many were killed and wounded
in all, but it was dreadful slaughter.
Bowie fought like lion, but fell covered
with wounds. For months he fingered at
the Mason House before he fully recovered.

THE PRIAARS.-The latest information
as 10 the results OF the primary Of Wednes-
day are as follows:
General Johnston,s friends are disnosed

General Johnston's friends are disposed
to think that when the full returns come
in from Hanover he will have, instead of
four, six or seven delegates. On the other
hand, Colonel Young's friends are not yet
quite ready to concede General Johnston
two from that county. though they admit
figures now point that way. He has GER
tainly four from Caroline and two from
Louisa. His total number Of delegates on
the first ballot cannot fall below the above
number. and may go much higher. Hano-
yer and Henrico are remarkably slow in
getting in their returns.
