Great Britain and the Unit ed

Chief Russell, Baron Russell Of
Killowen, almost equally and mutu-
ally, for he was a magnetic charac-
ter whose influence was favorably
exercised in creating friendship be-
tween the two countries. In the
history OF the English Judiciary he
will rank as high as Lord Coleridge
and some of their most learned and
practical Chief Justices. Kindly
hearted and almost generous to
fault his memory will ever remain
green and be an encouragement to
members OF his learned profession.

BOTH BADLY WOUNDED.
A Six O'clock Entertainment With Shot
Guns at Close Range Both Partic-
ipdntS Badly Hurt.

Yesterday morning about six
clock Jack Rippetoe and Will Har-
rls tbetter known as Doc Harris
both negroes. engaged in a duel with
breech loading shot guns at close
range and the result was both men
were badly wounded. Harris received
Il charge of shot in the left arm bt
tween the wrist and elbow. which
broke the bone and badly lacerated
the flesh. Rippetoe was shot in the
face and neck and is badly. If not
fatally hurt.
Three shots We're fired. one by Rip
petoe and two 10y Harris When the
shooting began the two men We're
not more than II or II feet apart.
and it is remarkable that one or
both were not killed outright
The two men live in darkev town
in the northeast part OF the city and
are close neighbors. but have not
been on friendly terms for some time.
The reporter found Harris in Drs
| Christy K Roe's office. where he was
awaiting repairs and his version of
| the cause OF the trouble was about IL
| follows: Il had fastened piece OF
wire TO IA cherry tree in my yard and
Rippetoe ordered me to.take it down.

| few words over il and Rippetoe called
| TO his boy to bring his gun and he
did so and while the boy was after

Harris statement, however. does
not tally with the general belief
of the cOlored people that the real
cause of the trouble was that Harris

a single death resulting from it in our

about the house and very seldom are
in bed for Llore than two or three
DAYS. The homes where these pa
tients live are closely watched so as
TO prevent this comparatively harm
