husband, began screaming for help, the
children mingling their cries with
hers. Mr. Buchana -turned quickly
after his brotherflred, went in ' the
house and got his pistol.
When he leftJhome a weeK or so ago
he turned his pistol over to the youug

who was in front of the gate reloading

snapped. -
The two brothers were oniy ten iee

time, had retreated and stooa on tne
pavement a few feet to southward of

the cartridge in the gun by this time,
and as W. F. raised the pistol again to

Newton fired again.
Again the bullet passed by Mr. Bu

Buchanan s assailant and overtook mm

and Belmont Hotels. He was arrested
and taken to the Tombs.
THE AN1MU8,
Or rather snpposed cause of the trouble
was this: Mr. and Mrs. A. u. Hucnanan.
parents of the two men who faced each
other as deadly assailants yesterday
afternoon, live on South Brevard street.
Newton Buchanan lives with them.
Mrs. Buchanan is away, and during her
absence Mr. Buchanan the old man
is staying at Mr. W. F. Buchanan's.
Mr. Buchanan is old and has very nine to
say to any one. l esterday afternoon ne
was sitting on tne porcn at nis own
home when Newton approached. His
father saw he had been drinking, so did
not speak to him. Newton after awhile
called him off. and asked him why he
did not spesk; saying: "Frank has told
you something; he has been prejudicing
you against me, and I II go and see bim
about it i n get even witn mm. ne
got his gun and went out. Mr.
Kuchanan, rearing that ne was gomg mj
raise some disturbance at nis son s. w.
Fs , put out after him. to go to W. t
to tell him to wntch out for Newton
The l.ttter, however, out-walked the
old man. and when the latter got to VV.
F's lb brothers had faced each other,
ach with fold steel in his hand level, d
at the other.
KKWIO.V BUCHANAN
la about 38 years of age. Hehaslivt d
in Charlolse for some years He drink
continually and is generally regaroto
as a desperate character. About a year
ago his brother. W. F ,who it is said. h.,
supported him for ars and spunt hun
dreds or dollars on him. paingnimoui
of first out- difficulty and lhen another,
sent him to tb K- tey Institute. New
ton refused to take the treatment aft-i
getting there eval letier-i passea
between the hrothers in regnra to
the matter, W. F telling Newton
what he thougnl of hi C"iuluct. when
he was trjiug to make something
out of bl-w and save him. j
coolntss sprang up between th mei-.
They had not spoken scarcely fr a year,
but W. F says bad no trouble of any
kind in thai. lime. He had uo idea tha'
Newton had come to his house, he said,
to attack him. H said further that
while he should dislike to see him pun
ished be felt that it was but a protec
tion to himself and family. Newton,
he says, is, a deserte character. He
is always cutting s m one or gei ting
into trouble of one kind or another.
Mrs. Buchanan thinks the law should
take its course. She fears for her hus
band. Mr. Buchanan sats his brother
had been drinking, but that a person not
knowing him well would not have de
tected it, as he can drink a great deal
without showing it.
The prisoner was seen in the Tombs
last night. He refused to make any
statement whatever saying he would
tell nothing but what would have to
come out in court.
