SMOOTH-BORE IDIOTS * Feudal Ferocity of Two Furnacemen at Nel- sonville , Ohio. A Short , Sharp and Decisive Battle With Brickbats and Bullets , > The Slim Supply of Ammuni * tion Alone Prevents a Double Funerah A Kemamable Duel. NELSONVILLE , 0. , May 4 The most remarkable -duel on record was fought yesterday by George Brooks apd Soott Lovs , rriploysen t .the Helen furnace : Scitia time ago t thejr became engaged in a quarrel which originated at a country dance and has lasted until now. They are both young men and Brooks has been rriar- rled little less than a jCir , and two daya ago hU wife bore him a child. Brooks celebrated tWa event by get ting on a aproo and returning to the furnace mot Love and the old feud was reminded. Some hot words ensued , and a fight enaned. BrooLs picked up a heavy picca of cinder and struck Love on the head , and the fight end ed for a time , Lore premising to renew - now tbo hostilities in ( ho morning. When morning arrived Brooks wai In formed that Love had purebred a re volver , and he , too , prepared himself with a five-shooter and proceeded with his friends to the furnace. There he met Love with a crowd of backers. Both were prepared for the battle , and It did. not take long to find sufficient cause. Followed by their respective cliques , the two prin cipals walked along together calling each other hard names until Love finally picked up a brick and threw It at Brook's head. Thia Brooks warded off but received a severe bruise on the elbow. At the Fame time ha drew a six-shooting 32 calibre revolver and fired , the ball entering Love's abdomen but he did not fall. "Give It to him back , " yelled one of the crowd , and Love also drew and fired. There were probably fifty mon circling round the combatants , each urging his favorite to fire and each armed with a knife and piatol. The principals neechd no encouragement , however. Frenzied with excitement they fully determined to sett e mat ters then and there. The crowd yelled and the fighting continued un abated , Love firing a little faster than his opponent. But Brooks' aim seems to have been none the steadier for de lay. The men were standing at ehort range , each firing alternately in com paratively g0od order. Finally Love began retreating , Brooks following him and still firing. Invo backed as far as the engine house corner and sgun standing hia groiind emptied his re volver at bis opponent ) who fell witli a bullet in each leg. The crowd surged around the f.illen man , whc was vainly attempting to re-load bii emptied pistol. Brooks also called t < his friends for a knife to remove thi aholla from his weapon. Both mei were now hora do combat , but cacl . was anxious to continue the battl - * I until one or the other would acknow ledge himself"defeated. . t'he ' friend of the parties now declared the battl ended and the combatants were take from the field. Love is dying an Brooks is under arrest. Sitting Bull Again. ST. PA\JL , Minn. , May 4.
