Culpeper. Va, Dec. "a bloody duel,
resulting in the death Of one of the par
ticipants and mOrtally wounding of the
other, occurred at Scrabble, little post
office in Rappahannock County, yesterday
afternoon. between Richard and Eman-
uel Campbell. There has for many years
existed q family feud between these men,
who are cousins. 1t appears that they
had been celebrating Christmas in a con-
vivial manner, and both were looking
for trouble. They met in the county road
as they were returning to their respec-
tive homes, and both instantly drew their
pistols and began shooting.
Emanuel Campbell fired the first shot,
striking his cousin just above the heart,
and the latter dropped to the ground,
fatally wounded. In his dying cOndi-
tion he fired three shots in rapid sue
cession at Emanuel and each shot struck
his antagonist, one in the chin, neck, and
shoulder. He then expired. Emanuel
is now lowering between life and death,
with the chances OF recovery against him.
