Article Text:
Springfield, Mo., Aug. 5.--In the streets of Chadwick, a small town 50 miles south of Springfield, today, Charles FREEMAN, a merchant, and Robert KEENE, 18 years old, fought a duel to the death with revolvers. Suit was recently brought by FREEMAN against KEENE charging the latter with assaulting his 15-year-old daughter. FREEMAN was reported to have threatened to shoot KEENE on sight and both men went armed. When they met on the street today, the two men immediately drew their revolvers and began firing. FREEMAN was shot twice, one bullet penetrating the forehead and another in the region of the heart. KEENE was shot three times, one bullet striking him in the heart. Both men were dead when the spectators reached them.
FREEMAN leaves a wife and several children. He was well-to-do, being the proprietor of stores at Chadwick and Garrison, Mo. KEENE was the son of Thomas KEENE, a wealthy farmer living near Chadwick.
