Leslie Citizens Have Pistol Duel; One Killed

Americus, Nov. 3 – In a pistol duel occurring late last night at Leslie, twelve 
miles from Americus, Robert Laramore was instantly killed by Luther Allison, a 
real estate dealer and well known citizen of the town.  The tragedy occurred in 
the store of the Leslie Hardware Company, and was witnessed by several citizens.

From meager reports received here today of the homicide, it appears that Mr. 
Laramore, a Lee County farmer, residing near Leslie, was more or less under the 
influence of drink, and had been the greater part of the day.  He and Allison 
had a slight difficulty earlier in the day, and this, quite likely, was renewed 
when the men met last night in the store of the Leslie Hardware Company.
