Rossi,s Duel i'm the Dark.

A letter from Paris to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat relates this pleasant lit.
tie fabrication Of the proves Of the actor
Rossi:
One evening, in an Italian town, Rossi
was giving farewell representation be.
fore his departure for Milan, and it was
necessary to take an early train in order
TO arrive at the scene of his new labors
on the following afternoon. Near the
orchestra was group Of fashionably
dressed ladies and gentlemen. who whis-
pered and talked together rather moro
loudly than was strictly in good taste.
RosSi, who was playing "Hamlet," en-.
dured it as long as he could then he
came quickly down to the footlights, say.
ing:
ii shall cease speaking, unless you do"
Naturally, the public applauded, and
the disturbers were compelled to retire.
After the performance was over, Rossi
found card from one Of the gentlemen
who had been reproved. Appended to
the card was a challenge. The town had
already heard rumor that there was TO
be duel as the result of Rossi's rebuke,
and the gendarmes had received orders
to prevent it and to arrest any parties
who should endeavor to fight. 30 Rossi
went to the house Of the challenger and
| said: "We can settle this little affair
with brace Of pistols in my rooms at
the hotel. Will you come therel We
shall be certain not to be disturbe l."
The other consented, and they had al.
rea ly taken their positions, pistols in
hands, at opposite ends Of Rossi's rooms,
when the landlord, who suspected some.
thing wrong, knocked, and inquired if
'Signor Rossi was ill, as there was q light
in his room so late" The two antago.

minutes later the pistols were fired, the
challenger had bullet in his shoulder,

of the shots was the signal for the ar

taken in the morning before a justice Of
the peace, he made little speech in his
own behalf, adding that he had but few
minutes before HIN in which to reach the
train, and that he was anxious not to
break his engagement in Milan. The
judge received hin coldly, and said that
''such an offense as that of last night
meritsd five years in prison."
Rossi ventured again to remark that it
was then seven o'clock, and that his train
left at eight.

A War.Like Spirit in Alpine.

There is feeling of bitter unrest up
in the pine groves OF Alpine County. on
the head waters of the placid Carson
River. What this feeling is can oe best
understood by pefusal of the bitter
missives transmitted to tho different
leading members of the incorporation
which floats wood down the river. The
shrinkage in wood is believed to be the
cause of all this ill-feeiing, as we shall
proceed to show. In the wood drives
that are hoated down the river each per-
son and firm putting in wood have their
cords Of wood carefully measured and
when the wood is taken ont a, Empire
esch bears his percentage Of loss. OF
late the losses have been more than some
of the owners Of wood in Alpine County
seem willing to bear. OF course. much
wood is lost every season. In high
water it drifts among the tules lining the
Carson and j: is next to an impossibil'y
to secure and refioas all of it. Probably
to this fact. and perhaps same wood
stealing added to il. is the cause of the
anger existing in Alpine. At any rate.
several prominent wood dealers in this
county have received letters warning
them of personal danger should they pns
in an appearance in Alpine. But all
these letters are anonymous and are not
without photographed faults. We do
not care to mention the names of all the
gentlemen here who have received such
missives. They do not care TO be thus
into no.orie.y. Ent still they |
are no. afraid. They will make their
appearance in that county whenever
their business interests call them there
Just rs uuconcerned as if they had Fever
received a menace. Yesterday S. e.
