j THX DAWSON TKAOEDjK
Particular* of the Killing of Capi Pickett
by Xr. Chev.s.
(kfacon Telegraph.) ;
From Dr. Kendrick, of Dawion, we
have learned gome af the paj’Sculars
of the unforlunate killing affiir that
took place in Dawion recently.
It teems that during the prqvress of
t'jHprimary election held in Jtawsou
last July some bad blood wasjstlrred
tip bet ween the two men. For a long
time Capt.T. H. Pickett,* well-known
lawyer of that plaee, wa tie only
candidate for the Legislature!. In a
canvas* of the county Captain Pickett
for ome reaon failed to ate Mr.
Chcves, the editor and proprietor of
the Dawaon Journal. Mr. Cheves
went to Captain Pickett and volunta
rily offered to support him in the race,
and even offered him the use of his
column*.
A *hort while after Mr. O. B. Ste
ven* cam* into the race, ami Mr.
Cheve* dropped Captaiu Picked and
went to the support of Mr. Bteveat*.
It 1* here that the flr*t bad feeling
wa* ngendcred, and which was fol
lowed up.
Mr. Cheve* last week wa* consid
erably under the influence of whikey
and threatened aercral peraon*.
among them a gentleman from Ma
con who wa* in Dawion, and also a
bar-keeper. While not considered a
dangerous man, he wa* in the habit,
while drinking, or behaving in such
a manner a* to make enemies.
On Wedncaday of la*l week ba went
into the drug (tore of Dr. Kendrick,
where Captain Pickett wa*, and told
ihe Captain he wanted to talk with
him. Picked refuted U> talk, and
told him never to speak to him again.
Chavot then want bahind the prescrip
tion counter and aked Dr. KendHek
for a knife. On being refused he said
he wanted a pistol. Dr. Kendrick re
plied that he had neither a knife nor a
pistol, and Cheve* *aid he would kilt
Pickett before night. Nothing wa*
thought of these threats, a* Chave*
wai intoxicated.
On Saturday Inst Capt. Pickett wa*
ontef tov. n attending a Justice court.
Mr. Cheve* taw Capt. R- F. Simmon*
and asked him to eo Capt. Pickett
and settle th* matter. Aa Capt. Pickett
waaout of town, it la presumed that
Capt. Simmons did not see him in
tin e to deliver Mr. Cheves’ tncsyqL
About 4 o'clock Chores saw Pickett
an the stmt, nearly oppoiitj the
telegraph ofllc*. He bad been In town
about fifteen minute*. Cheve* wa,
armed with a deuble-birrel shotgnn,
and when In about eightfeet ofPick
ott made aomo remark, widen wa*
not caught by the bystander*, and to
which Pickett repliid: “What do
tou mean ?’ ! Instantly the guu was
dischargad at Pickett, one load of
duckshol entering the loft arm and in
the region of the heart. The second
load entered the abdomen. Pickett
felt dead. The marshal, who had
bean looking for Chevei to disarm
him, then came up aud in attempting
to arrest him was struck over tho
head with the gnu . Cheves was then
overpowered and lakeu immediately
to jail.
The feeling wa* so strong apatust
Cheve* that thorc wa* considerable
talk of lynching him. Tho sheriff
*aw the trouble brewing and pronip
ly aummoned a posse of men who
have kept guard over the jail. Cheves,
iti* understood, will waive examina
tion. Court meets the first week in
November.
Oapt. Pickett was highly esteemed
in the community. He made a brave
soldier, and one hand and enc foot
were crippled during the war. He
eavos a wire and seven children, lie
was insured witlt the Knight* of
Honor for $2,000. Hi* remains were
buried in tin city eeinetery en Sa
turday, the funeral services being con
ducted by Rev. P. S. Twitty, and the
procession being one of the largest
over seen ill Dawson.
Mr. Cbevos ba* a wife ami One
child. Mr*. Cheve* has been nearly
crazed by the sad occurrence, and it
is feared will lose iter mind entirely.
Mr. Cheves want'to Dawson from
Albany about three year* ago, and is
from Crawfordceunty.
The affair has cast a gloom over
Dawson. The high position Captain
Pickett held with the people, and his
murder seen* to draw the people near
er to the bereaved laraily.
Immense school* oi herring, which
were evidently frightened by dogtisho
bluctish, were driven toward the sea
shore, near New Biddeford, Me., a
few days ago. The number kept in
creasing, nml when the tide went ont.
laft a place of about an acre completely
covered with fish. In some snots,
where there was a depression in the
.and, the fish were piled into the
depth of four or five feet. The far
mers in the vicinity flocked to the
beach and secured cart loads of the
herring to he used upon their lami
as a fertilizer. One funner obtained
sixty cart loads.

DEATH OE A NOTED DUELIST
A latter from Columbia, 8. C., ttndar
date of October 24th. say*: “Near the
■mall town of Arlington, In tha
northern section of the state, Dr.
Dewrv Drake died yesterday, In his
seveaty-aeeonu rear. The deceased
was the greasiest duelist of his time.
During a professional career in Mis
sissippi, from 1838 to 1858, he fonglt
seven duels, in four of which he whs
badly wounded himselt. For many
years he wa* a writer for the press,
and hit criticisms'f men and meat
ures were often harsh and unjast.
He took special delight in provoking
prominent mon io quarrels, and en
joyed the thing still more when his
victims were goaded on to challeng
ing him. He was a most akillfu)
swordsman, having Acquired the art
from a celebrated teacher in Paris
when he was attending college there.
He was alto an unerring marksman
with either pistol or rifle. Some years
ago he became a professional billiard
player. While in New Or!ean,in 1859
and 1860, he defeated the best players
of the city and wou large aunts of
money. Immediately after the war
he was said to be worth seven hun
dred thousand dollars. He went
abroad in 1867 and returned to New
Orleans last year, penniless and for
gotten. He was suffering with an in
incurable malady, and a Iriend took
him io his house provided him with
medical attention and every luxury.
His dissolution caused no remark,
for the puplic had forgotten the
famous Mississippi duelist.”
