stantly killed each other in a duel with
pistols. The shooting occurred ON Salt

The trouble came up over the price
OF a suit OF clothes Fitzpatrick had
sold conIey few days before. The two

Fitzpatrick claimed Conley had not
paid him for the clothes according to

were both prepared for the meeting and
began shooting before those present
could interfere
