FOUGHT A FATAL DUEL.
Editor Brann and Captain Davis Petora,e
Each Other.
SURGEONS SAY THAT BOTH WILL DIE.


Waco. Tex, April lin the midst OF
busy preparations for city election
meetings. while bands were playing
and scattering handbllls from their
decorated vans, calling the people to-
gether. w. c. Brann. editor Of the
Iconoclast, and Capt. NJ r. Davis met
and fought a revolver duel to the
death. The combatnnts met just at o
O'Clock this afternoon on South Fourth
street in front of the Cotton Belt tick
ct office, and after exchanging few
words, both began emptyng their re-
Volvers into each others bodies
When the battle was over Brann wua
found to be perforated in the left lung.
the left leg and the right foot; Davis
was shot through the right lung ana
through both of his arms. The sur
geons say both men are likely TO die.
The difficulty between the two men
grew out Of the Brann- Baylor feud OF
last year.
Capt. Davis's daughters are pupils
of Baylor university, and the refer
ences made in the Iconoclast to Bay
Tor. which were generally construed to
mean reflections on the moral charac>
ter of the pupils and faculty, brought
of Brann, delivered in language most
forcible and direct
In the city campaign now in progress,
Capt. Davis is the chairman of one or
the committees, and was active all day
in the duties that the position entailed.
Election day Is close at hand and cN-
element is high. Brann was an advo-
cate of the candidate Capt. Davis was
seeking to defeat and that state Of af-
fairs contributed to no small extent to
the meeting.
Politics, however. was not the chief
cause. by any means, About a month
ago, before the city campaign opened, a
friend of Brann's referred to him in
complimentary terms in the presence
OF Capt. Davis and nearly provoked II
row then and there. Remarks on thar
occasion made by Capt. Davis as to
the Iconoclast and its editor were re-
peated 1t is said, in Branns hearing,
and Brann's rojoinder carried to Capt.
Davis.
This episode stirred up the men
against each other and Increased the
bitterness between them, which began
when the Brann- Baylor trouble arose
and grew intense when the Gerald
Harris tragedy occurred last Novem-
Der. 1t was often predicted that when
Brann and Can't. Davis met there
would he bloodshed, Capt. Davis being
fearless man and ready on all occa-
sions to express himself The puhlica-
lions of Brann against Baylor univer-
sity wounded him deeply and he took
every occasion to make his feeling
known.
This afternoon Brann and his bust
ness manager, w II. Ward, We're OPP

direction of French's bookstore, Capt
Davis's office being between the book
