Tragedy at Hot Springs.
-----

       Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 22.--As a sequel to the killing of Lee Oxford on the Malvern road in June, 1905, William Trammell, the author if (sic) the crime, was today shot to death by Walter Oxford, the 19-year-old son of the man he had killed.  A chance meeting in a saloon shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon resulted in the second tragedy.
       Young Oxford entered the place on business and met Trammell almost at the entrance.  Four shots rang out in rapid succession soon afterward.  Trammell was found lying on the floor gasping his last breath when pedestrians, attracted by the shots, entered the place.  By a peculiar chance, the saloon was empty at the time, the bartender being out on the sidewalk and the porter in a rear room, and there were no eye witnesses to what transpired when the two men unexpectedly faced each other.
       Trammell was released from prison ten days ago on a bond of $10,000 after remaining 506 days in jail for the murder of the boy's father.
