Family feud ends in duel on horseback in Kentucky town
The chase ended when Lily fired on Tipsward at close range with a revolver, killing him during a feud noted by local residents. The confrontation followed a pursuit on horseback as both men raced neck and neck through the county. Police later arrested Captain John L. Powers in Harlan Court House on charges of being an accessory to the murder and sought habeas corpus relief citing a prior pardon. Powers is brother to former Secretary of State Caleb Powers.
