FOUGHT PISTOL DUEL AT CHURCH DOOR Emmit Helensburg, aged 24 years, and Samson Axom (consider Axsom as a spelling variant), aged 27 years, engaged in a pistol battle near Nashville, Indiana. When the smoke of battle cleared away, Axom was found lying face downward with a bullet in his breast. He was hurriedly carried to a nearby farmhouse where physicians were summoned. An examination revealed that a bullet had entered the left lung and that he could not recover. A dispute as to who had jumped the furthest led to the tragedy. The shooting took place in front of Rev. Mr. Skinner's church during services. The preacher told his hearers to keep their seats, and after he was advised that Axom had been shot he said that the affair would not interfere with the services in the least, and that if a dozen men were killed on the outside, he would not stop the services.
