A BLOODY DUEL.
An Encounter Between Neighbors
in Loyal Kansas--The Coun-
try in Jeopardy. '9A

A Kansas City dispatch gives
the following particulars of a IA
tai duel in Kansas:
About dusk Friday night q
terrible tragedy was enacted in
Wyandotte county, Kansas, ten
miles from Kansas City, resulting
in the deaths of James Dobbins
and Michael Burns, old farmers
and residents Of the county.
There was a feud Of ten years
standing between the families,
and on FiidayDobbins andBurns
met on the premises of the latter
and after passing a few, words
began shooting at each other. 1t
was a deadly duel with the wives
and families Of both as specta-
tors. Dobbins opened fire by
sending two balls into the side
of the house, when Burns pulled
his revolver and the two advanc-
ed to within two feet of each 9TH
er before any mere shooting took
place. Dobbins then fired, hit
ting Burns iii the arm, and in re-
turn received two shots in the
chest. Neither man fell, and
Dobbins shot Burns through the
abdomen, when the latter fell, but
raising himself shot once more,
the load entering Dobbins' head
behind the ear. The men then
clinched and in a death grapple
beat each other with dubbed re-
yolyers. The wife of Dobbins
tried to assist her husband, but
he died while struggling with
Burns, who also died about day
light the next morning.
