A Fatal Duel With ReYOIYers.

A fatal duel was fought in tho streets
OF Waco, Texas, on Friday, April l, be-
tween w. G. Brann, editor of Tho Icono-
clast, and Capt. M. r. Davis, a prominent
merchant.
Tho combatants mot just at 6 o'clock
in front of tho Cotton Bolt ticket Office,
and after exchanging n few words, both
began omptying their rovolvors into each
others bodies.
When tho battle was over, Brann was
found to be perforated in tho loft lung,
the left leg and tho right loci. Davis
was shot through the right lung and
through both arms.
The difficulty hetween tho two men
grew out of tho B~rann-Baylor fcud of
last year. Captain Davis's daughters
arc pupils of Baylor University, and tho
reference made in The Iconoclast to Bay
Tor, which were generally construed to
mean reflections on tho moral character
of tho pupils and faculty, brought forth
from Captain Davis n denunoiatiOn of
Brann, delivered in language most for
ciblo n direct.
Brann was taken to his homo and at
tended by surgeons, who said there was
slight chance for his recovery. Ho died
at l.55 a. M. the noxt day, and his wife
and children were beside him. 1t was a
remarkable death-bed scene. and those
who wore present say tho picture was one
hard to DO forgotten.
Capt. Davis was taken to tho Pacific
hotel and his wound pronounced mortal.
lie fingered until three o'clock tho next
afternoon. His death was calm and his
department to the last characteristic of
his life, manly and bravo. lo knew from
the first that his wounds wero fatal.
