Mort SHoTr -HarDer's Weekly works
over this old-time story of our youth
thus:
We received from correspondent
the following somewhat incoherent &C
count Of duel which was fought in
his neighborhood. Some way or other
we are half in the dark about the re-.
suit Of the duel in question. but we
shall leave the decision to our readers:
A duel was lately fought in Texas by
Alexander Shot and John 8. Mott.
Mott was shot, and Shot was not. In
this case it is better to be Shot than
Mott. There was rumor that Mott
was not shot, and Shot avows that be
shot Mott, which proves either that the
shot Shott shot at Mott was not shot, or
that Mott was shot Notwithstanding.
Circumstantial evidence is not always
good. It may be made to appear on
trial that the shot Shot shot shot N OFT,
or, as accidents with firearms are ire
quent, It may be possible that the shot
Shot shot shot Shot himself, when the
whole affair would resolve itself
into its original elements, and Shot
would he shot. and Mott would be not.
We think. however, that the shot Shot
shot shot not Shott, but Mott; anyway,
it is hard to tell who was shot.
