A German and . Spaniard met last

satisfied their "honor" in q sword CON-
bat. It was no German student fool

but it was q duel in deadly earnest.
and the German ran the Spaniard
through the body. after which he laid
up for repairs with slit through bis

Kansas City Times.
The trial Of Richard Green for the
murder Of Deputy County Marshal
Henry H. Hughes closed last evening.
The jury was dismissed about four
o'clock. The trial has not been as long
and tedious "a murder trials usually
are. Scarcely three days vas con-
sumed in hearing testimony and argu-
ment. The evidence was all on one
side, and it was Sd conclusive that the
jury was out less than a half an hour
when they brought IN their verdict.
