TIE "DUEL" AT Los AYGHLEs.-A cor
respondent of tho Alta, writing from
Los Angeles on the goth of December,
gives the following account of the recent
affair at that place: ..r q
Some days since Charles Howard, son
Of General Volney E. Howard, met Col
onel Kewen at Buffum's saloon, and,
apparently without %provocation, called
the Colonel a liar. Stepping back, he
put his hand on his pistol. Colonel
Kewen told him he was not armed, and,
besides, he was no bar-room assassin,
but would see him in the morning, and
would then settle with him. The result
Of this was q challenge, which was so
we'll noised about that everybody in
town knew it. In fact it appeared to
almost everybody in town that q call
was made to the peace officers to inter-
fere, which they did not do. The chal-
lenge being accepted, the seconds and
physicians chosen, with considerable
parade, they started in four carriages
for "Chino Ranch" on Wednesday morn
ing-said ranch being a few miles over
the line in San Bernardino county. Nine
o'clock Thursday morning was the hour
for the great event. AS report says,
"Nine came, but no fight. Soon some
one moved a suspension Of hostilities,
which being granted, the friends of the
belligerent gentlemen worked away for
seven hours to effect a treaty of peace,
which they finally accomplished, as
their stomachs could stand ii no longer

The churchmen of Troy, N. Y, have
been badly swindled by a plausible
young man representing himself to be a
Clergyman of the Episcopal church in
Boise City, Idaho Territory He gave
his name as Rev. s. NJ. Fackler. From
the fact that in the Episcopal register
there is such o name recorded as sta
toned at Boise City, he found little diff
fculty in i%ngratiating himself into the
favor of leading clergymen of the Epis-
copal. Church, who seemed readily to
credit the fellows story, admitted him
to their houses, and invited him to speak
from their pulpits. On Sunday he as
sisted at the services IN three churches,
preaching in the evening at st. Paul's-
Rev. DR.. Cott's-the leading church Of
that denomination in Troy. Before the
Sabbath, however, he had been plying
his accustomed vocation. His ~favorite
plan of working seemed to be by becom-
ing intimate with various parties, and
then borrowing sums of money, ranging
from SIS to $40, of them, upon the pro-
tense that his remittances had failed; or
oftentimes upon the ground that he had
plenty Of money, but the banks had
closed. He ordered a number of suits
Of clothes at different places in the city,
also boots, hats, and other articles Of
clothing. He also ordered two bells for
his church in Idaho Of the Messrs.
Meneeley, b%ell-founders in West Troy,
and took advantage Of this trade to bor-
row $40 of the firm. He secured q new
overcoat at one clearinghouse, valued
at $40, and borrowed sums of money Of
money Of no less than eight or nine
clergymen, leading church members,
business men, etc. The affair has cre-
ated an intense excitement in the city,
especially in religions, circles.
