liens and until recently on friendly terms.
The cause of the trouble was an editorial
that appeared in the Messenger containing
personal illusions to Mr.. Coleman Of such a
character as, in his judgment, de-
manded summary satisfaction. He first
visited the Messenger Office, but did
not find the object of his search; few mo-

words were exchanged, when revOlvers were
almost simultaneously drawn and firing
commenced. The first shot on each side
missed; Coleman's second shot struck an
awning post which interviewed between him
and jennings; the latter's second shot
pierced Coleman through the heart, killing
him instantly. Jennings surrendered him
self and was placed in Jail to await examina-
