 As soon as the men were gone the girl began q search for her father and when she found him she told what had occurred. The old man immediately hitched up buggy and started in per- suit of the rivals. AS he passed through the village he stopped long enough to pick up the sheriff and then urged his horse on to where 1t was reported the two men had arranged to fieht. As the horse and buggy topped bit of rising ground just before the race track was reached the occupants of the buggy looked down upon ono of the most remarkable scenes ever wit messed
 Jason and Founders were standing in the middle of the track In front of the empty grand stand and as the men on the hill gazcd at them the two young men clasped their left hands while in the right hand nf each was revolver.
 Slowly and deliberately the weapons were raised until their muzzlcs point cd into tho air. Then it was evident that one of tho dmelits gave the word to fire for simultaneously inc two re- vOlvcrs came down to tho position of nim and shot after shot rang out. This startled the witnesses of this remarka' bio affair out of their surprise at the scene and as the duclists fell 10 the ground beside each other the horse and buggy started down ti,c hill with all speed.
 When the two men in the buggy reached the race track they found tho men who had fought lying side by side on the ground. each held in hts right hand still smoking pistol and the left hands were claspcd in grip thnt was hard to break. and each man wns dead.

 LEXINGTON. Dec. 2s.-Onc of the most remarkable ducls in the history of fighting in this country took place here today when Solomon Jason and Tate Founders of Pineville fought to the death back of the race course at the western end of town.
 The cause leading up to the duel was the usual one of women ana horses. or in this case more properly speaking. one woman and two horses. Both of the duciists were young men who spent their time breeding and running fast horses and for years their has been keen rivalry between them on the race course. Last year Jason's black stallion. King of Ken lucky won the locally famous Pike county derby and 1t is reported that the winners rival lost heavily on the race. Whether this Is 20 or not Is not known or whether 1t had any effect upon the love affairs of the two men is not known. Roth up until tho time of the race they had both been paying mark cd attention to tho daughter of n rich hcrso breeder in the vicinity.
 After the victory of King of Kcn- lucky Founders. the defeated horse man. went north for several months and 1t was whispered that the two young men had bet more than money on the race and that the lOoser had promised to leave the field to tho win- ncr of the race and give him free and untrammcled chance at the hand 0: the young lady.
 Whether that Is true or not. as soon as his rival was out of the way Jason lost no time in going after the hand of the fair lady in the case. Hc made such good progress that several weeks ago their engagement was announced and tho wedding day set for thu New Year.
 One of Founders friends says that hc wrctc this news to the man who had gone north and in reply received a. telegram saying that the man was coming back at once.
 Founders arrived here two days ago and it is known that he went yester. day to the home of his erstwhile sweetheart. What happened thsrc is rot known farther than that the lady herself says that the two men met and auarrsled and that the challenge was pessed and accepted
 Then the two young men left the houss and as they departed she heard
