At the same moment the lady in the bonnet advanced towards him and said something like, "George, will you go with me ?" He replied, throwing up his hand and retreating, "My God I can't, don't fire," and the next instants two shots were heard and he fell.

The lady appeared to be beside herself with rage or excitement, and trembled very much when the gentlemen took hold of her; it was to them she said, "He brought it on himself." Col.

Selby was carried at once to his room and Dr.Puffer, the eminent surgeon was sent for.

It was found that he was shot through the breast and through the abdomen.

Other aid was summoned, but the wounds were mortal, and Col Selby expired in an hour, in pain, but his mind was clear to the last and he made a full deposition.
