dent. with wnd Western Notions, Said
10 Have Provoked tho Quarrel Iie Was
shot -Four Times.
LARcnNoNT, N. Y. Juno i2-Thero
was a duel here between J.. b. Tompkins,
the proprietor OF the LarohmOat hotel.
and George w Palmer. che son Of a
wealthy resident OF Lnrchmont MINOR, IN
which one man was shot four times hut
not fatally wounded, and the other was
twice struck near vital organs. hut each
bullet was stopped by tho oontonta OF the
dpelist's pockets.
Young Palmer has for several yenrs
been regarded as somewhat eccentric by
the residents OF this fashionable suburb.
He went west not long ago and oano back
imbued with variety OF cowboy notlous.
one Of which was that II was proper TO
carry pistol. Another thing that attract
cd attention was that he made an intimate
associate OF william Collins. who is en-
ploycd by his father to look after the
grounds.
Palmer and Collins went into tho hotol,
and, according to Mr.. Tompkins, they be-
came abusive after drink and finally
ordered him TO go up stairs and call his
bartender, Bert. who, Palmer said, had
dc this, and Palmer, reaching over tho
bar. struck him glanoing blow on the
head, exclalming, eve been west, and
won't come here TO be blutfed by hay
seedsl"
Ordered TO Leave the Housc.
At this Mr. Tompkins Indignantly or
dered the men TO leave tho hotel, walking
around the end of the bar to enforce his or
der. As T'ompkins faced the men Palmer
dropped on one knee and, without further
warning. drew his revolver and fired. AZ
that moment William Cunningham ontsr
cd the place, and. seeing the proprietor
stngger back made a wild bolt for sde
door, which was locked. Unable TO adj
vance and afraid TO retreat ho remained
an unwilling witness Of the scene.
The first bullet went through Tomp-
kins' coat and vest and struck his watch,
worth $500, exnctly in the center, com
pletely wrecking H. Then came another
shot that struck Tompkins' memorandum
book, just over his heart, going through
tho book and PARTLY penetrating some
business cards back OF it. The third bull
let grazed the ribs, the fourth buried Itself
in the wall, and the nth went into the
floor.
Tompkina Thought that no was shot,
and, running behind the bar, got his nls-
tol, aud ns fast as ho could shoot firod bull
let's at Palmer. He shot him twice In the
left arm, once In the jaw and again In the
hip.
Thon tho young man and his ooinpnn
ion, Collins. ran out. They took a cab,
drivon by George Seiferts, and were convey
home.
A bicycle policeman and Constabios Mo-
Galand and Negil, found Palmer and Col
llns asleep In the barn covered with blood
Tho men were arrested and taken before
