Tradition Says that a long time ago that two packmen or Chapmen, met and quarreled, words ran high and at length one drew a pistol and shot the other wounding him mortally, the other previous to his exit from the world also drew a pistol and shot his antagonist, and both dying were buried on the spot where they fell. |
