Fatal Affray at Perryville-On Tuesday, the 26th ultimo, says the Danville(KY) Advocate, an unfortunate difficulty sprung up at Perryville between Dr. Page Crane and Jerry Watkins, growing out of a misunderstanding in regard to a fox chase and resulting in the shooting and killing of the former and very seriously wounding of the latter. It appears that Watkins fired five shots, all of which effect in his opponent, which produced death in about fifteen minutes. Dr. C leaves a wife and several small children. The wound of Mr. Watkins is of such nature that no examining trial has yet taken place.
