yesterday afternoon at a suburb on the
Georgia road, known as Edgewood. One
Of the participants, who was slightly
wounded in the leg, gave himself up TO

the fight occurred, and the other was
arrested this a. m. at o'clock while in
hiding to escape arrest. Miss Binder
is employed to attend tie cigar stand in
the drug store of Joseph Jacobs, at the
corner of Marietta and Peachtree streets.
Her vivacity and attractive personality, u
well rounded form and ruddy cheeks have
made her favorite and firtations have
occurred to an aggrevating degree. She
has more than once been the cause of
dispute between her many admirers, a.
mong these enamored OF her is Sam Gala
more, young married man, son-in-law Of
City Warden j. X. Hunter
LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBoRHooD.
Galamore and the young woman live in
the same neighborhood at Edgewood, and
notwithstanding that she was aware Of
his matrimonial obligations, she has APP
parently enjoyed the conquest made on
him. In fact il Is neighborhood talk now
that Galamore spent more of his salary IN
supplying her with the pleasures OF life
than he devoted to the support Of his
family. This neglect led up to the trouble
which eliminated in the duel yesterday.
Several days ago GalamOres wife sur
prised him and Miss Binder together and
a scene ensued He became furious and
accused neighbors of having interfered
with his private affairs. He asserted that
certain ladies had played the spy and when
the moment arrived brought his wife
upon the scene to expose him. AS a re-
suit of this accusation Galamore engaged
In personal encounter with John Baker,
plumber, the father Of one of the women
whom he claimed meddled with his
affairs, severely beating him with a club
while he covered him with pistol Yes
terday he and Edward Locke husband of
the other woman, whom he accused Of
having been instrumental In exposing his
relations with Miss Binder to his wife,
met on the Georgia road train.
GOT orr TO FIGHT 1T OUT.
After engaging In hot words the two
got off the train at Mason's crossing and
at once began shooting at each other.
Galamore took refuge behind q signal post
and after firing five shots at Locke, re-
loaded his pistol and fired three more,
when Locke, who had shot at him four
times, and the fifth cartridge failing to
explode, rushod in and grappled with
him. Galamore finally got loose after O.
desperate struggle and ran to the woods.
He was captured at o'clock this
morning by a deputy sheriff of DeKalb
county while Locke, who had received
slight wound in the leg, gave himself up.
Galamore's infatuation for Miss Binder
has been so marked ahd his attentions so
persistent that the neighborhood felt
scandalized. He was repeatedly remon-
strated with by friends, but paid no
| attention to their advice.
