resident of Union, Boone County KY. a
few miles from Coyington, left his home for
Clarksville, Tenn.

hotels, where he met an old enemy of his.

Falls struck his opponent over the head
with pistol, knocking him down, when
friends interfered, and separated them
They then agreed to settle the old feud the
next day with pistols insthe mountains
of Kentucky, and, according to contract,
they met the next morning and concluded
their preparations.
They took the train and left the city for
the mountains, unaccompanied by friends
or spectators, and from that day to this NOS
word has been heard from Philip Falls CT

Both men were in good social standing.
and the quarrel, which had such mysteri-
Gus termination, arose about woman.
