The Kentucky Duel.
I From the Galreston Neus. I

The terrible election duel in Estill
county, of which only meagre men
ton was made i'll these dispatches,
turns out to have been one of the most
terrible encounters in the annals of
Kentucky. Irvine City, the seat of
Estill county, is almost cut off from
the rest of the world, and details of
the awful tragedy have been slow in
reaching the newspapers.
The men engaged in the affair were
DR.. p. Lilly, prominent young ply
sician of the town, son of Judge H.
Clay Lilly,on one side, and John Viii
son, commissioner Of common schools
in Estill county. on the other side.
Lilly was Republican AID Wilson a
Democrat. Lilly brought negro to
the polls to vote, when Wilson chal
lenged his right to cast ballot. The
Judges coincided with Wilson and the
negro was rejected. This fired up
Lilly, and some words ensued between
him and Wilson, resulting in the
drawing of pistols by both men. Lilly
got his weapon out readily, while Viii
sons hung in his hip pocket and was
accidentally discharged before he
could level it.
In the meantime he received two
balls from his antagonist, both lodging
near his heart The wounds however,
were not Immediately fatal and a
dreadful combat commenced. Wilson
got his weapon free and fired two
shots, one of which struck Lilly near
the heart. About this time Wilson s
brother. iuterfered and succeeded in
wrestling Lilly's weapon from his
hands. Nothing daunted and almost
10 TIE throes of death he drew his
knife and made several fatal stabs in
his en-, my's body. Both fell to the
ground, but the terrific duel was not
over. With his last eboing strength
Wilson raised up and fired the last
load in his pistol at Grant Lilly
brother "f DR.. Lilly, who had appear
ed on the scene, inhicting fatal
wound.
Not satisfied with this, Wilson
crawied over to where his antagonist
lay and buried the hammer of lis pis
tol in his head. Lilly died in a few
minutes, while Wilson fingered unit
the next day. In addition to the mer
named as having been shot, three out
side persons receivad balls, but were
not seriously hurt. Altogether the
affair was the most desperate one thai
ever occurred in Estill county.

says that Grant Lilly is also dead

prominent men in Estill county

Getting Fat Fast.
From the Shelby aurora.

A few days ago, portIy U. S. store
keeper was standing on the porch of
one of our hotels, when he was ap-
preached bv street urchin, who said:
Mr.. -, you are mighty fat; did
drinkin' liquor make you fat?'
The fleshy man, not wanting to
wound the little fellows feelings, be
cause he was the son of an intimate
friend, replied:
eyes, Samuel, l guess liquor made
me fat"
"Well," said the little fellow, 'if
liquor will make people fat, pa will
get mighty fat, for he has been drunk
ever since he has been storekeeper."
We will not mention the parties.

Members of the medical fraternity
hereabouts have for several weeks past
been discussing the remarkable case of
Mrs. j.. S. Harvey, who, within thirteen
days time, gave birth to no less than
three children. Mrs. Harveyis woman
about forty years of age, and resides at
Albion Station this county. She is the
mother of several children. Several
weeks ago the family physician was
called III, and there was an addition to
the family in the shape of a three
pound baby, but it did not live. Mrs.
Harvey got along fairly well for two
days.
BABY NUMBER TWO ARRIVES.

however, and not as fully developed as
the first by about two months. The
physician had read of one or two par
allei cases in medical works. He had
about got over his astonishment and
finished looking up the records of such
matters when ten days later his services
were again required.
AND THEN CAME NUMBER THREE.
This time there was another still-bOrn
babe. less fully developed by about a
month and half than the second. The
good physician has not recovered from
his experience yet, and Mr.. Harvey does
not know what to make of it. Mrs.
Harvey, however, is doing well, and no
further additions are expected. The
peculiar case will be written from a
physicians standpoint for the medical
