"A Pertinent Question.

"None at ALL" said Mr.. Dean. I'VE Will

A SUNDAY DUEL.
| Tragedy on Church Grounds-Two Promi-
nent Young Men Have Dispute.
Milledgevie, Ga, May 29.-(Special.)-
| A great sensation was created here about
| dark last evening over the report of dead
ly duel between two young men at Sun
| day school at Scottsboro, four miles below
| here. 1t was impossible to get detailed
account of the affair." and nothing can be
| given az to the cause of the trouble Young
! Willie Barnes and Charley Richardson,
both members of prominent families in the
| county, and themselves very popular, were
| the principals in the affair, and it is stated
that Richardson is very dangerously wound
ed, while the condition OF Barnes is quite
serious.
An eyewitness to the shooting says that
Barnes came to the Scottsboro Sunday
school, and called Richardson out. The
| two went off a few PAGES and began con-
versing in a heated undertone. A moment
| later one of the young men was heard to
| eXclaim:
Then we will settle it here" and, in
stanty, both drew pistols and began firing.
Barnes fell, and Richardson walked off to
We're fired, but the location of the wounds
is unknown. 1t is stated that q young
lady's name figured in the quarrel, but in
what relation could not be learned.

The Cause of the Trouble.
Milledgeville, Ga, May 30.-(Special y
| On account of the prominence of the two
young men, the shooting between Messrs.
Willie Barnes and Charley Richardson, at
Scottsboro, four miles below here, on yes
| terday afternoon, has caused quite q SEN
sation in the city and is the all-absorbng
topic of conversation. The Harnesses and
richardson's are near neighbors, and as
far as can be learned, have always been
on the best of terms and the difficulty is
| deeply deplored by the members of both
| families.
The particulars as brought to Milledge-
! Vile this morning are aboHt follows:
RICHARDSON was suitor for the hand of
! Miss Barnes, but they recently broke off
oil engagements and on Saturday she be-
| came the wife of a Mr.. Brewer. In hui
morinG the joke Richardson went to the
| extreme of putting piece of Grape on
| bis hat and it seems made some remarks
, that offended the brother, who went to
| Iingold's chapel yesterday afternoon, and
callsd Richardson out from Sunday school.
| The parties went off a few steps together
and became engaged in u heated CONVEX
satlon, when one of them exclaimed I'VE
| Will settle the matter now"
At this juncture Barnes hit Richardson
with stick. Both parties then pulled
| pistols and fired three shots each. Two
| balls struck Barnes, in the body and
| one in the arm. Richardson was shot once
| in the side. Barnes, 1t is thought, cannot
live while slight hopes are entertained for
| Richardson. All that loving hands can do
is being done for the wounded ones.

Morganton, Ga, June 4.-(Special 1T
looks now very much like Fannin county
would have q hanging on the oath of June,
at least that is the decision Of the judge and
| jury. Public sentiment is opposed to hang
! ing Green, not because it does not want
him punished, but because they think he
is the least guilty of the four and because
| they believe a conviction of all could have
| been had, had they all been put on trial
| one year ago. There will be an effort made
! for d new hearing. While the verdict of the
| jury does not give general satisfaction the
| jury should not be censured as they made
what they thought was u just verdict I'M
| der the law as given them in the charge by
| Judge Gober.
