DUEIING In GERMaNy-A few woo

DUELING In GERMANY.-A few weeks
ago Lieutenant Won Geyso, a young
Prussian officer of remarkable promise.
was shot to death by one Of his com
rades in a wholly unnecessary encounter.
So popular vas the gallant youth in
Schwedt, the garrison town where his
regiment was stationed, that hundreds
followed his body to its premature
grave. One afternoon, during some
regimental gymnastic exercise, Won
Geyso refused a leap that had been
taken by several of his fellow officers.
Three of these, more in jest than ear
nest, shouted out: you are a COW ID
Won Geyso, having given frequent
proofs of his personal courage, took
no notice of these bantering exclama-
tions; but a day or two later, finding
himself stunned at mess by his comrades
he consulted his brother in-iaw, Baron
Won Richtoen, as to the proper course
to pursue, and by this gentleman's ad-
vice challenged the three officers to
meet HIM in succession and exchange
two shots. No serious consequences
ensued from the first and second en-
counters, but Geyso's third opponent
shot him through the heart at the first
fire, killing him upon the spot.
