ON Thursday morning, at Knoxville, Tenn,
Gen. James \. Mabry, Major Thomas O'Con-
ner ana !. A. Mabry. Jr., We're killed in a
shooting alray. The difficulty began Wednesday
afternoon by Gen. Mabry attacking Major
OConnor and threatening to kill him. This
was AT the fair grounds, and O'Connor told
Mabry it was not the place to settle differences.
Mabry then told OCOnnor he should not live
II seems that Mabry was armed and O'Connor
was not. lhc cause of the difficulty was an
Old foud about the transfer of some property
from Mabry to O'Connor. Later in the after
noon Mabry sent word to O'Connor that he
would klll him on sight. This morning Major
OConnor was standing in the door Of the Mer-
chants National Bank, of which he was pre.-
dent. Gen. Mabry and another gentleman
walked down Gay street on the opposite side
from the bank. OConnor stepped into the
| bank, got a shot gun, took deliberate aim at
Gen. Mabry and fired. Alabry fell dead, being
shot III the left side. AS he fell O'ConnOr fired
again, the shot taking effect in Mabry's thigh
O'Connor then reached back and got another
shot gun. About this time j. A. Mabry Jr,
son Of Gen. MabIy, came rushing down the
street. unseen by q Conner until within 40 feet,
when young Mabry fired pistol shot, taking
effect IN O'Connor's breast, passing through the
body near the heart. The instant Mabry shot
VConnor turned and fired the load taking ef-
feet in young Mabry's breast and side Mabry
fell. pierced with 20 buckshot, and almost
instantly O'Connor fell dead without a str,lg-
gle. Mabry tried to rise, but fell back dead
| The whole tragedy occurred within two min
utes, and neither of the three spoke after he
was Shot. A bystander was painfully wound
ed in the thigh with buckshot. and another
wounded in the arm. -Four other men had
their clothes pierced with buckshot The af-
fair caused great excitement and Gay street
was thronged with thousands of people. Gen
Mabry and son We're acquitted only a few DAYS
