SOUTHERN TRAGEDIES.
A Savage Duel in Baltimore.

One of the most desperate and MUIR
derous duels at short range ever re-
corded was fought a few days ago in Balti-
more between two members of the Fifth
Maryland regiment Wood Kinds and
William M. James. Thirteen shots
were exchanged and both men riddled
with bullets and seriously if not MORALLY
wounded. A local paper gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of the sanguinary af-
fair:
James, it is stated, charged Kinds
with having ruined his sister. This,
however, Kinds strenuously denies.
James insisted that Kinds should marry
his sister, which the latter refusing, a
deadly hatred sprung up between the
young men, and James, it is stated, fire.
quently of late threatened to kill Kinds.
Having been appraised of James de-
clared intention of killing him, Kinds
prepared himself for an attack. It
came, however, when he least expected
it. James entered the store of Moore
& Go. and asked to see Wood, the name
by which he is Familiarity known. The
people in the establishment, knowing
James to be friend of Kinds, told him
that the latter was down stairs. Kinds
had, few moments previous to James
entrance, gone down into the basement
to get a drink of water, and, when near
table at the bottom of the stairway on
his return, he was confronted by James,
who at once drew revolver, and, after
calling Kinds an insulting name, com
menced firing at him. The young men
were not more than five feet apart when
the firing commenced. After receiving
the first bullet in the right side of the
temple, Kinds at once drew a seven
barreled revolver and returned the fire.
At this point bloody duel commenced.
Both men continued firing at each
other until every load in James pistol
had been exhausted, when James ex-
claimed: "My pistol is empty. I have
had enough" and rushed in on Kinds
and attempted to brain him with the
butt end of the weapon. Kinds, who
had one more load in his revolver,
struggled desperately with his maddened
antagonist, and, pressing his revolver
close to James right cheek, was about
to fire final shot, which would, doubt
less, have killed him Instantly, when
they were separated by clerks in the
store. The deadly conflict attracted the
| attention of all in the establishment,
many of whom ran to the scene, to find
Kinds and James covered with blood
and seated on bench. In answer to
question propounded to James as to
how the affair occurred, he said: "Ask
Wood" The floor where the conflict
occurred was covered with blood, while
both of the young men were bleeding
in the face and body. Neither of them
appeared to suffer much from their
wounds, but bore the pain with remark
able GOODNESS. James was shot four
times, one ball passing near his heart.
Kinds received three wounds, two in
the head. ...

A Duel With Rifles in Louisiana.

A bloody tragedy was recently en-
acted near Shreveport, La. Wiley
Holmes, married to sister of Ben Tai
bert, had some family misunderstood
ing with his brother-in-law. Both hap
pened out hunting deer, and met on the
road Talbert ordered Holmes to halt,
and aimed his gun at him. Holmes
raised his gun, and both fired stimuli
taneously, each shot taking effect. They
then dismounted and fired again. Tai
bert fell in the road and Holmes walked
to house near by, falling exhausted on
the doorsteps. Talbert came up and
stepped over Holmes into the house,
asking for a gun to finish him. He,
too, fell on the floor, and both expired
in few minutes after. Holmes was %
and Talbert 10. ....
