direct cause of the killing is a recent
series of editorials In the Tennessean

became editor after his defeat for the
nomination for governor. The edi-
torials in question had been vigorous
in their comment on Colonel Cooper
and his alleged connection with what

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 but few witnesses. II
was past O'Clock in the dusk of the
afternoon. They met on Seventh

his hat to Mrs. Charles II. Eastman,
a friend, who was passing. In a mo-
ment the firing began and Mrs East
man was a Mortified witness at close

of the Coopers is said to have charged
