To lift the white mans hair;

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Two HopkinsviIIe Policemen Settle
a Quarrel of Long Standing.
Pistols Placed Against Each Others
Bodies And The Triggers
Drawn.
TWO BRAVE MEN.

HoPcINsvILLE, KY, Sept. 6.--Two mer
lying upon the platform at the Louis
vile and Nashville depot-one dead and
the other MORALLY wounded-both in
the uniform OF policemen and wearing
upon their breasts the badge OF authority
was the sight that met the eyes of excit
ed citizens of Hopkinsville at 8 O'Clock
this morning. 1t was the elimination
ola bitter hatred between officers Robert
West and Will Davis, the sequel to the
strained relations that have for some
time existed.
At the council meeting last night a
member of the board preferred against
Davis the charge of deserving his post
and spending a night with two lcwd
women. To sustain these charges and
effect the removal OF Davis from the
force it was necessary to introduce his
brother officers as witnesses, Vests tes-
timony was of peculiarly damaging
nature and upon the strength of his
statements given reluctantly Davis was
suspended.
This morning the two men met at the
L. & N depot. Witnesses observed
them talking excidedly and gesticulating
violently. Then they separated, going
in opposite directions. Suddenly Davis
turned and fired at West, the latter
jumped into the door of the mems wait
ing room, and drawing his pistol came
out again and returned the fire. Both
men advanced and when within arms
reach Of each other Davis placed his pis-
tol against Vests left side and pulled
the trigger. At the same instant Vests
pistol was discharged and Davis sank to
the platform, West turned and walked
away few steps, reeled and was caught
in the arms of man who had hurried
to the scene.
Gle has shot me through the heart
send for my wife" he said.
Scarcely had he spoken when two
more bullets from Davis pistol whistled
by his head. Davis, lying on his side in
the agoniee OF a mortal wound, was de-
termined to finish his work.
West was carried to the platform,
where he expired in four minutes. The
bullet had passed through his heart.
Dayis was placed in carriage and taken
to his house where he still lives, but
cannot long survive. The bullet from
Vests pistol entered the right side, and,
ranging down, lodged in the spinal
column, resulting in paralysis of the
lower limbs.
West was forty-eight years old, and
leaves wife and two children. He was
born at Macon, Ga, and entered the
Confederate army at thirteen, carrying
musket through the war. Davis is forty
years old and has large family. The
affair has created the most intense ex-
element here.
