Alexander City Outlook May 4, 1906
A duel took place Friday in Ashland between Dr. Wes. Owens of Bluff Springs and 
Jim White of Ashland., The latest report says that White was in Adams and 
Craig's Drug store. He was in the drug store drinking a glass of lemonade with a 
large mirror in front of him. Owens went to the drug store on business, not 
knowing that White was there, when he pushed open the screen door. The mirror 
reflected him to White, and White turned and shot Owens without warning. It took 
effect in his right arm, ranging up to the elbow. He then broke to run, and 
Owens fired three shots at White, only one taking effect in the shoulder, the 
ball lodging over the shoulder blade. Neither one was seriously hurt. A family 
trouble was the cause of the affray.
