Greenville Street Duel Ends With Fatality In Greenville
In Greenville two men James B Williams and Charley Potts dueled with 38caliber pistols at about 5 pm. Potts was fatally shot through the right lung while Williams was unharmed. The quarrel began from a drunken dispute and ended with both exchanging shots and grappling before police separated them. Potts recently lived near the North Carolina line and had a noted history as a revenue officer. Potts prognosis is poor. In the same dispatch, a cyclone wrecked Mediana Spain killing many and floods engulfed Hornillos. A Madrid dispatch says Spain would accept peace terms if Washington replies favorably today.
