The First and Last Duel in llii-

Fosd's history of Illinois, recently
published at Chicago. gives the following
"reminiscences:
The year 1920 was signalized by the
first and last duel which was ever Tough.
in Illinois. This took place in Belle.
vile, ST. Clair county. between Alphon.
so Stewart and William Bennett, two
obscure men. The seconds had made
it up TO be sham duel, to throw ridi-
cule upon Bennett, the challenging par
ty. Stewart was in the secret, but Ben
nett, his adversary, was left 10 believe
it reality. They were TO fight with
rifles; the guns were loaded with blank
cartridges; and Bennett, somewhat sus-
pec,ng trick. rolled ball into his gun,
without the knowledge of the seconds.
or OF the other party. The word was
given to fire, and Stewart fell, mor,aly
wounded. Bennett made his escape;
bu. two years afterwards he was arrested
in Arkansas, brought back to The State,
indicted. tried and convicted of murder.
A great effort was made TO procure his
pardon, but Governor Bond would yield
10 no entreaties in his favor. and Bennett
suffered the penalty of the law by hang
ing.
This was the first and last duel Tough,
in the State by any of its citizens. The
hanging of Bennett made duellng DIS
crediiable and unpopular, and laid the
foundation for that adherence of the
practice which has ever since been felt
and expressed by the people Of Illinois.
