TIE BENNETT MAY DUET.-Tbe chronicle
of the Bennett May duel as it Was presented
TO the public from day to Lay 10 the newspapers
in January last. whcn the quarrel between
these two men vas tao leading theme OF dis
cussion in New York society, was Imperfect.
The true story Ct the duel has Just been made
pubic for the first time. There were five per-
sons present at the due-t"o principals, two
seconds and DR.. Philips. a surgeon, who acted
for both parties The latter, 10 o familiar Con-
versation in February last, on the evening pre-
vious to the departure Of Mr.. Wilkes Tor Ha'
vana said that the parties took their places
and The Sord was given 10 fire. The direction
was 10 fire at the word fire and not after the
word "thren" Almost instantly upon the
word Mr. May fired. One, two three followed
and MIR. Bennett, WHO pulled at his Trigger,
and evidently with the best will in the world,
did not succeed 10 getting his weapon off, lie
was bafflad by the hardness or rather stlttoess
of the lock- Ills second at once interposed and
claimed that as Bennett had suffered his risk
aud disadvantage through no fault OF his OVID,
he was entitled 10 return shot at Mr.. May.
This being according to tho rules It was, OF
course, allowed, and Nj. May took big place
empty banded Mr. Bennett fired into the
air AID Nays life was saved.

HAMMOND As A HORSE HUNTER.

Finding Stolen stock and a Ready Way
of Attempting its Disposal.
Cheyenne agency had been for several
years the possessor of two stations, furnished
by a benefcent government, and handed
down from agent to agent as part of the
agency property. Hammond some way got
it into his head that Maj. Bingham had sto-
len those stations, and: with. his usual enthu-
siasm, whenever a fraud wa unearthed, the
great reformer lost no time in spreading the
report along the river, coupled with high NOR
al reflections IN the dishonesty of those epis-
copalians. For the purpose of seeing with his
own eyes just how two stolen stations look.
ed, Hammond started to Cheyenne agency,
then in charge Of DR. Cravens, Maj. Bing.
hams successor. Hammond took along with
him a horse man from Yankton-one
who could tell a horse the minute
he set eyes OH it, and could also readily de-
termine the absence Of a horse which was
not within a thousand miles of the place
where it WAS said to be. He poked around
among the stables at the agency and about
the first thing which met his reformatory
gaze were those identical stations standing
where they had stood for years, eating gov
eminent oats. A conversation cnsued which
ran about as follows:
Hammond-Whose stations are those?
Cravens-They belong to the agency. They
were bought by the government and have
been here several years.
H.-Vm surprised then to the horse man
who was with him) Do you want to buy
those two stations?
H. M.-How much do you want for them?
H.-Tn sell you those two for seventy-fve
dollars.
H. M.-Ill take them.
Cravens-I guess not. I'm authorized to
sell those stations at auction to the highest
bidder. They are in my hands and you
have nothing to do with them.
H.-Um! UNI! Yes, I see! Well, let's go
and look around q little!
And they went and looked around q little,
and a few days afterward Cravens sold the
horses at auction for one hundred and fifty
dollars and sent the money to the govern
ment.
