The killing was done by w. w. Milwee,
also OF Horatio. one Of the wealtaisst men
in the town and a man noted for his rear
lessness and bravery.
The tragedy was the elimination OF
feud of long standing and on account Of
the prominence Of the parties II Is believed
the feud will be continued by some OF their
numerous friends and adherents and that
more blood will be shed before the ahair
is finally settled. Milwee and DR.. smith
were mortal enemies and had threatened 10
kill each other on sight. Both men nao
records for fearlessness and beth carried
reyolyers in anticipation Of an attack.
Friends sought to prevent a meeting be-
tween the two men as they felt certa'n
guns would be used. but they were not
prepared for the fearful tragedy which oc-
Cured.
Milwee and DR.. Smith met in front OF
the Locke hotel. DR.. Smith was lust en-.
crying from the front door OF the hotei
as Milwee was crossing the street. coming
in that direction. Both men quickly dew
their weapons and opened fire almost sim
ultaneously. Several shots were exchanged
Smith receiving wound In the left arm
at Milwee's first fire. He continued the
battle and only gave up the contest When
he sank to the ground dead, with bullet
through his heart.
l. i Smith came to his brothers. as
sjstance lust as the fatal bullet was fired
and drew his own pistol to fire on Milweea
His weapon snapped. however, and Milwee,
l. turning his attention to the broener. sen,
bullet crashing through his head. That
ended the battle for time being. hut tiere
is much excitement over the affair and
more bloodshed is constantly expected
