8 a duel was lately fought in Texas
by Alexander Shott and John S..Nott.
Mott was shot and Shott was not. In
this case it is better to be Shott than
Mott. There was a rumor that Mott
was not shot, and S hott avows that he
shot Mott, which proves either that the
shot Shott shot at Mott was not shot,
or that Mott was shot notwithstand-
ing circumstantial evidence Is not al
ways good. It may be made to appear
on trial that the shot Shott shot shot
Mott, or as accidents with fire arms are
frequent, it may be possible that the
shot Shott shot shot Shott himself,
when the whole affair would resolve
itself into its original elements and
Shott would be shot and Mott would
not. We think, however, that the shot
Shott shot shot not Shott, but Mott;
anyway it was hard to tell who was
shot.n
