A Duel at Shepherdstovn in 1909.

4 friend Of the REGISTER who is
making Investigations relating to the
early history of Shepherdstown and
this section of Virginia sends US the
following account of an incident that
occurred here in the early part Of the
century. He came upon the story IN
the course of his historical researches:
GenI john Smith lived near Win
chester, Va. and he had a son fresh from
William and Mary's College whose
name was Peyton Smith. Peyton Smith
became involved in a controversy with
Joseph Holmes and some army officers
overa game of cards, and young Smith
challenged Holmes, which was accept
ed and the arrangements were made
for a speedy settlement Of their differ
ences by meeting at Shepherdstown
and to goacross the Potomac and taking
a shot at each other.
Mrs. Smith was informed by a ser
want Of what was transporting, and as
soon as she learned it she immediate
" started in the night, on horseback,
to prevent the duel taking place. 1t
is said she reached the bank Of the
river in time to see her son fall from
the effect Of the shot from Holmes, and
when she reached him found life ex-
tinct.
We should like to have more infor-
nation concerning this incident. Can
any of our readers furnish any addi-
tionaI facts connected with the duel?
