Duel by Moonlight.
Rocky MOUNT (Va.l September 2Sth.-
An impromptu duel occurred last evening at
Stony Battery, in Pittsy lvsnis cousty, be.
tween George Thomas and Bowman Doude.
Thomas vile left him few days ago, and it
was believed by the husband that she had
| eloped with Doude. Both returned to the
| Heighborhood, and Doude threatened dire re-
! venge upon Thomas for connecting his name
with the supposed elopement of his wife.
The two men met last night and agreed to
settle the trouble on the field. Thomas was
armed with double-barreled shotgun, loaded
with small buckshot. His adversary had a
80 cshbef Smith & Wesson revolver. Fifteen
PAGES were stepped off and the firing opened.
After two rounds, Doude cried out that he
was wounded, and demanded a cessation of
hostilities An examination proved that
| Doude had received one or two shots 10 the
face and arms. A local physician rendered
him necessary aid, and his wouuds are not
considered fatal. The fight took place after
dark, and was fought by moonlight. The
wounded duehst was plsced upon horse and
carried home. After his enemy had been
carried from the field, Thomas shouldered his
| old shotgun and strode h0peward.
Mob Baked by a sheriHs PlHek.
VINcENNEs Ind) September 2Sth.-At
half-past 3 o'clock this morning a mob of
| about fifty masked men, armed with crow
bars and sledge- hammers, halted before the
! Sheriff's residence and demanded the KEYS of
the jail. They said they wanted Macy War
| ner the murderer of Jacob Maudery. The
| Sheriff refused to deliver the keys, and told
| the mob it had better reconsider its deter
mination, as it would have to batter down
the jail, which would require daylight work.
After deliberating few moments the IL n,
with few parting thumps on the door with
a crowbar, left, saying they were bound to
have Warner, and would return tonight 800
strong and tear down the jail. In order to
avoid further annoyance Sheriff Kackley
| obtained an order from the Court for War
ners removal, and took him to Evansville
this afternoon. When told that mob was
after him, Warner told the Sheriff to give
him good revolver and then open the door.
| 1t is said the mob. had it gained entrance to
the Jail, would have taken out Charley
Smith, who is in for burglary, but who tried
to assassinate a citizen two or three years
ago.
