Hon. E. w. Carmack of Ten
nessee Murdered on the
Street in Nashville.
ATTACKED MACHINE.
Son of Man Assailed Makes
Attack On the Ex-
Senator.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 9.--As a
sequel to the recent bitter Demo-
cratic primary for the gubernatorial
nomination in Tennessee, Hon. Ed
ward Ward Carmack, former United
States Senator from Tennessee, was
lshot and killed in a street duel here
this afternoon, by Robin Cooper, a
young attorney. Young Cooper was
wounded in the shoulder by bullet
from Carmack's revolver and is to-
might under police surveillance in a
local hospital. His condition is not
SERIOUS.
armack was wounded three times,
in the neck, the breast and left
shoulder. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
father of the young man, was with
his son during the ARRAY, but did
not fire shot. 1t is said he stood
by. pistol in hand. He is detained
tonight at police headquarters.
The direct cause of the killing is
recent series of editorials in the Ten
nesseean, a daily paper of which
Carmack became editor after his de-
feat for the nomination for govern
or. The editorials in question had
been vigorous in their comment on
Col. Cooper and his alleged connec-
tion with what Mr.. Carmack termed
''The Democratic machine" and its
methods. Col. Cooper, who is well
known in business, newspaper and
political circles in Tennessee and the
south. had, it is said, notified Mr..
Carmack that the references to him
must cease. Another such editorial
appeared this morning.
The men fought at close quarters
and there were bat few witnesses.
1t was past O. clock in the dusk of
the afternoon. They met on Seventh
avenue north, directly in front of
the Polk flats, a fashionable apart
ment house. Mr.. Carmack had just

hills was drawn upon three times,
until Only enough was left to keep the
fish alive. The river bed above the
dam had been filled up for the last
time and the supply was so limited
that consumers were notified to use
water with the greatest economy.
The usual consumption of 100000
gallons daily was greatly reduced
and imperative orders were given
the railroads to quit filling their
tanks here, an order they were very
reluctant to obey as it meant long
haul for their supplies. The L. &
N. was taking six cars a day. For
tunately the rain came within "a
hours after this order was issued
and a Waterman appointed to en-.
force it, No rain was ever more
joyously welcomed in this part of
the country. When it came, it came
enough for all. Cisterns have been

In a moment the firing began and
Mrs. Eastman was a Mortified wit
ness at close range.
So close was she, that one of the
Coopers is said to have charged Car
mack with being a coward and hid
ing nbehind woman. Cooper's
friends charge that Carmack fired
the first shot, but the dead mans
friends stoutly protest that his OPP
ponent was the first to shoot.
The tragedy created the most in
tense excitement throughout the
city and within a short time the
streets in the neighborhood were
thronged.
AS soon as Senator Carmack fell
on the edge of the street, Col. Dun
can Cooper put his arm around Rob-
ia Cooper and both walked a few
feet down Seventh avenue to DIR. r.
G. Forts office, where the slight
wound in his shoulder was examined
and the wound treated. DR.. Fort
stated that the wound was very
slight.
An ambulance carried the body of
Mr.. Carmack to an undertakers' es-
tablishment. The pistol of Mr.. Car
mack, 80 caliber, was lying at his
side with two of the chambers emp
ty when the body was picked up and
was turned over to an officer. The
stump Of a cigar. Mr.. Carmack had
been smoking, was also on the street
beside him, where it had fallen
from his mouth as he fell.
Young Cooper was later carried to
hospital and Col. Cooper is held at
police headquarters. He has made
no statement.

MAN OF GREAT ABILITY.
Washington, D. G., Nov. Sen
ator Carmack, who was killed on the
street in Nashville, Tenn, today, is
we'll remembered in Washington,
where he served in both houses of
congress. During his senatorial ca
reer from 1901 to 1907, he made a
number of brilliant speeches Al
though inclined to be sarcastic in his
utterances, he had many friends in
congress among both Democrats and
Republicans, who admired his fear
lessness. Perhaps the most notable
speech during his four years in the
lower house was his brilliant effort
in his own defense when Josiah Pat
terson, father of the present gov
ernor of Tennessee, contested Car
mack's seat.
