Cooper, father of the young man,
was w ith his son during the affray,
but did not fire a shot. It is said
he stood by with pistol iu hand.
He is detained tonight at police
headntiartcrs. The direct cause of
the killing is a recent series of ed
itorials in The Tciinesseau, a daily
paper of w hich Mr. Cat mack be
came editor after his defeat for the
nomination for governor. The ed
itorials in question had been vigor
ous iu their comment on Colonel
Cooper and his alleged connection
with what Mr. Carmack termed the
"Democratic machine" and its
methods. Colonel Cooper, who is
well known iu business, ncwspajM-r
and politiral circles iu Tennessee;
and the Smith, had, it is said, no

enee to him must cease. Another
such editorial appeared this morn

and there were but few witnesses.
It was past 4 o'clock in the dusk
of the afternoon. They met on
Seventh avenue north, directly iu

had just lifted his hat to Mrs. (',
