Two Southern Gentlemen May Resort to
the Code of Honor.
New York, May 22.-The Herald
this morning says: The Georgia col
ony in this city is discussing the pro-
liability of duel between DR.. Willis
F. Westmoreland, and Lawyer Daniel
W. Rountree, both of Atlanta, who are
now in New York. The men have been
ON bad terms for some time. They met
in Abbey's theater Friday night and
blows are said to have been exchanged.
DR.. Westmoreland, according to report
took the initiative and his enemy
vowed vengeance when they were sep.
arated. 1t is generally feared duel
may result The meeting of the two
men was the first one outside of Georgia
since they were both put under bonds
to keep the peace two years ago. They
quarreled then over money matters, anG
preliminaries were arranged for duel
The authorities got wind of the i'm
pending affair and put stop to it by
requiring peace bond of $4,000 from
Westmoreland and one of $4,000 from
Rountree.
The men are we'll known in thu
South. Westmoreland has just retired
from the presidency of the Georges
Medical Society, and Rountree has rep
resented South Georgia county in tn,
state legislature. Rountree is CUES
at the Imperial hotel
