AN EXPECTED FATE,
W. c. BRANN KILLED IN A
 SIRE DUEL.
Capt Davis, His Assallant Receives
 Wounds That Prove Fatal.

Waco, Texas, April 2-The second tragedy growing out of the Brann- Baylor controversy occurred in this city shortlyafter o'clock last night when W. c. Brann, editor of the ''Iconoclast, land Capt. M. T. Davis, prominent citizen, met in front of the Cotton Belt ticket office and en- gagged in a street duel with pistols for weapons. Brann was shot in the left lung, the left leg and the right foot, Capt. Davis was shot through the right lung and both arms. Brann died from the effect of his wounds at o'clock this morn ing. His body is lying in state at his home and has been visited and viewed by thousands of people to- day. among whom were number of ladies. Funeral arrangements are not yet complete, but the fu- neral will likely take place Sunday.
 Capt. Davis fingered until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when he ex- pired. His funeral will also likely occur today, thus recalling the sad burial of the two Harris brothers one Sunday afternoon several months ago, who also met death as a result of the Brann-Baylor affair, being killed in a street duel with Col. Gerald.
 Last nights tragedy was the direct outgrowth of the Brann-Bay- Tor trouble, famed intossa new flame by municipal politics. . Capt. Davis daughters were students at Baylor College, and the references made ID the "Iconoclast" to the university were construed as a reflection CD the moral character of the students and faculty. Capt Davis was se- were in his denunciation of Brann al the time, and in the municipal cam. paign they were on opposite sides which intensified the bitterness be- tween them. Last evening when they met, epithets were exchanged and the men soon began shooting with results fatal to each.
 Three other men were struck with stray bullets, but are not seriously injured.
