Shot His Enemy To Death

Two Georgians Fight Desperate Duel at Columbus

Columbus, Ga., June 25 – Jake Anderson shot Berry Upshaw dead with a pistol 
last night in Kaufman’s bar on upper Broad Street.

The two men had a quarrel in the bar yesterday afternoon, in which Upshaw was 
sitting last night when Anderson entered, and made at him with a big stick.  
Anderson whipped out a revolver and in the midst of a crowded barroom fired.  
The ball entered Upshaw’s breast, killing him in a few minutes.

Anderson ran into an alley in the rear of the bar and escaped.
