TWO KILLED IN A DUEL,
Herman Gilman and Henry SchilIlng
Fought with Pistols Near Houston.

Houston, Texas: Sunday night the
particulars of a fatal pistol duel were
received here. 1t took place about
four miles south of town, on Brays
bayou, near its crossing Of the tele.
phone road, the parties to it being
Henry Gilman On one side and Henry
SChilling on the other. Gilman was
shot three times and died almost i'm
mediately. Old man Schilling, father
Of Henry SchilIing, was also killed. 1t
is believed that he was killed by acci.
dent, as he was trying to stop the
shooting when he received the fatal
shot. Fred SchilIing was wounded in
the thigh, the bone being grazed. and
Ernest Schilling was wounded in the
heel. Both wounded men were brought
into the city for treatment. The body
OF Herman Gilman showed that he
was shot in the arm, another ball 90
ing into the right side of the thorax,
and another into the abdomen. from
right to left. He staggered few sec.

ed. and old man Schilling rushed be-
tween them. when he received a fatal
ball in his back. 1t passed through
the body and lodged just under the
skin on the opposite side.
Henry Schilling was arrested and
brought here and lodged in jail.
From all that could be learned the
trouble originated in domestic infelic.
ity in Ottman's family. 1t seems that
one OF the Schillings, who worked for
the express company in town, had got
a day off and went out to spend it at
the old home. He had asked Gilman
to come out and spend the day witi
him, as they were old friends. He &C.
cepted, and had been at the house
sometime playing dominoes. when
Henry came upon the scene. A few
hot words, it seems, passed between
them, and they Immediately drew their
pistols and the Cue! began. It ended
in two deaths.

word Of the wreck was spread. Relief
trains carrying physicians were sent
out as quickly as possible from sur.
rounding towns and everything posi-.
Bile was done to aid the injured. It
was some time before the dead and in
jured could be eXtriCated from the
debris. The dead were carried up the
track and laid in an open space until
the relief train arrived, while the in
jured were cared for as well as could
be. It was some time before the
names of the victims could be learned.
The freight train was an extra. They
had, according to the conductor, been
instructed to take a siding and let the
passenger pass. The first section Of
the passenger had gone when tue
freight pulled out. The first section

The scene Of the wreck was on a
down grade, on either side of which
there was a steep rise. Both trains
had put on extra steam to carry them
up the hill, nd when they met at the
curve at the lowest point they were
running at rapid rate. The passen.

a Pullman and no baggage car. The
freight train was a heavy one.
Half dozen who were not killed
outright in the first car were so badly
injured that they died before they
could be removed from the debris.
Many of the dead were almost IN.

dismembered in several cases and to-

BIG WRECK AT DEAD MANS BEND.
Twenty-Nin Persons Killed and Sixty Injured it
Missouri Pacific Wreck

Warrensburg, No., Oct. 11.-Twenty-
eight persons were killed and sixty in
jured by collision Of two Missouri
Pacific trains three miles east OF
Warrensburg yesterday. The trains
were the second section of passenger
train NO. 80, which left Wichita, Kan,
for St. Louis Sunday night and an
extra freight train. The dead are in
undertaking rooms in this city and
most of the wounded are in the hos,
pital at Sedalia, Mo.
The collision occurred on a curve
known as Dead Mans Bend"
Both engineers and both fremen
saw the danger and jumped.
According to the local officers of the
Missouri Pacific the engineer of the
freight train was to blame for the
wreck, having forgotten his orders. He
had been ordered to wait on a siding
at Knobnoster, just east Of Warrens-
burg, but neglected to do so. The
trains met at a sharp curve. Travel
to the Worlds Fair has been so heavy
that all roads have been sending out
their trains in two or more sections.
The train wrecked was made up at
Wichita Sunday night and, as is the
custom, it picked up additional coaches
along the line. The last coach taken
UP was at Pleasant Hill, Mo-, about
o'clock yesterday morning. All the
coaches were crowded.
Both trains were running at a good
rate when the wreck occurred. Dawn
had begun to break and neither crew
were aware of the approach of the 9TH
er train until they were almost upon
each other. The impact of the COLI
sion was terrific. The sleeping passen-
gers were hurled in every direction.
The most of the killed were in the for
ward coach. The spot where the
wreck occurred was in a narrow cut
and this fact with the darkness added
to the difficulty of the situation. The
greatest confusion occurred after the
crash. 1t was some time before wort
was sent back to Warrensburg and

Three Vessels Sunk.

Toxic: It Is reported here that the
japanese recently centered a fire from
the land positions and the fleet block,
aiding Port Arthur on the west harbor,
with the object of destroying the Rus
sian fleet, and succeeded in sinking
three vessels, the names of which are
unknown. The failure of the Port Ar
thur fleet to make a sortie is creating
the impression that the Russians in
tend to destroy their ships just before
the fall of the fortress in preference to
taking the risk of sortie.
