About three o'clock, as Itogera was going up the street he saw Johnstone comlDg down. As they nearcd each other, they drew their revolvors and commenced simultaneously firing upon each other, continuing to advance us they fired. Finally, and when about four feet distant from Johnstone, Hogert* sank to the pavement, and as he lay, the last act of his life was to fire the last charge in his pistol ito the abdomen of Johnstone, whose last bullet, fired at the same instant, penetrated his antagonist's brain, causing instant death. Johnstone reeled and fell across tbe body of his foe, and, when bystanders mshed to where they lay, he too, was beyond all reach \ aortal aid. Almost at the same instant imc their two blood-guilty souls had gone to join the gory ghosts of their ancestors, ended a feud that has existed for twenty j, in the course of which fourteen men died violent deaths.
