Fatal Encounter In Kentucky.—A correspondent writing from Summerville, Green county Ky., under date of the 16th inst., furnishes us an account of a difficulty which occurred near that place which resulted in the death of Felix G. Beauchamp. Our correspondent says that a difficulty occurred between Robert J. Peace and Wm. M. Skaggs about some trifling matter when Beauchamp, who was the brother-in-law of Skaggs, interposed and begged the parties to desist. Hereupon Peace ordered Beauchamp to get out of the way or he would kill him. Beauchamp drew a revolver fired and missed, and retreated—was followed up by Peace, who placed his rifle against his antagonist: fired and literally tore his heart out. This fatal encounter was witnessed by the wife and children of the deceased,—Louisville Democrat.
