Violated the Duelling Law.

RIcp"nNn Va November 81 Il II
Jones, a young and prominent man here,
was to-day fined one cent and given an
hour in jail by a jury in the Hastings
Court, for sending a challenge to fight a
duel. The trouble out of which the
hostile correspondence grew occurred in
August last. No meeting took place,
and the difficulty was amicably adjusted.
The officers arrested Jones and he was
tried to-day. This is the second time in
the history Of the duelling laws of Vir-
ginia, since the war, that any punish
ment has been inflicted for the violation
thereof.

of tobacco. Not having any money with
which to pay a hotel bill, they brought
v~ictuals along with them and put up at
the depot for the night, staying on the
depot porch. or in the passenger reception
room. About IL o'clock at night, Frank
Fry, with a policeman's star on his
breast and a pistol in his pocket, made
his way to the depot, and disturbed the
