The two men, who have stotod at i
the head of their party in Kentucky
for many yearn, have long been hitter ýi
i personal enemies. They have alwavb
tocontested hotly the honors to be dis
tributed by the Republicans in Ken- r
tucky, which have been about equally
Iy divided. Now Goodie would be ota
ta. top, then Swope would loh up. In
kI 1888 both men were cattlitates for co

ag which met at Chicago and nominated '

attempt was made to heal the breach Sr
last summer when the Republican hi
State Convention nominated Col.
Swope for State Treasurer, but the no
i effect was the opposite to what was
al the opposite to what was expected. Di
Col. Swope declined the honor flatly.
in and took exception to a speech made
Ise by Col. Goodloe. The two men at hi
the Phoenix Hotel in this city a
ill few days later and were about to
er fight, when friends separated them.
The two men had not crossed each
other's path again until to-day, when in
of they met in the postoffice rotunda. n
m. Their boxes adjoin. Both started to n
ar- get their mail out at the same time th
and jostled each other. "You have C
ri- insulted me," said Swope, and he in
by stantly reached for his revolver, while ;
in- Goodloe as quickly pulled his knife. ha
Swope fired, and Goodloe plunged hit hi
keen blade into him. They clinched.
SAgain and again the knife rose in the
air and came down with a sickening
Iaa. swish into the soft ilesh. "M God, t
Mt- to
don't," exclaimed Swope. Then he
reeled and fell backward. As he
did so his pistol hand became disen
rt gaged and the weapon was tired.
a Swope was dead when he reachc'd the w
stone flooring. Goodloe staggered to
the door with a bullet in his intes- a
tines that the doctors say will pro
e duce death. The corpse of Swope
was pickeld up, and it was found he
ad, had thirteen Wolabds on the upper
the part of his body, half a doaen of which
would have resulted fatally.
TheM blow that rehbed the heart i
w- ent in just under the left shoulder

Following is Postmaster McChes
ase ney's statement: "I was drawing a
ard moaey rceder when I heard some loud
s- words and two sha in the lobby. Ie
rte. ruahed to the window and saw Col. d
a GoodloeandCol. Swope in a des- s
perate encounter. Swope was back

th him all the time." t
S After the afray the news w im

A,'.ut three ve.as ago Col. Swope

was opposedl to lratlley's candilacy sa
for Vice-Pres"ilent, anal this gave spa
great offense to the other wing of the ma

him because in a long letter he an

le Swope boldly charged both with
bt ad faith and ended by withdrawing
his name, but not before Col. Goodloe
to had made an intemperate speech,
which afterward led to an encounter yo
between the two at the Phenuix hotel .
in Lexington. The two men were m:
a nearly equally matched from a physi- W
o cal point of view. Both were mag
nificent specimens of manhood, and yo
e they were of nearly the same age. he
Col. Swope was over six feet high, and in
ie weighed about 200 poundus, being ha
fe stoutly built. His complexion and
is hair were dark, his eyes dark, and th
- his features rugged ani strong. His e
e face was a striking one, and would th
have been handsomer but for the fact as
that his eves were rather small andl
be too deeply set for gooel looks. He
dressed well and alwoys in good taste.
Usually he wore a beard, but at the
last Republican convention appeared
with his face cleanly shaven. He
