His wild cadenzas warp the doors ana make

And there's the chap who seems to know

Was there a duel? If so, who was
the victor? The story of the duel-if
there was a duel-was given Out late
last night by sports who are reputed to
be we'll posted on all such events, and
who were therefore supposed to be au-
thorities in cases where city officials
come TO the ''duel act" 1t appears that
the newspaper comments on the man

woods part in the play, had
such an effect on Mr.. Haney
as to drive him to the stage where
friendship ceases. Hence, the adjust
ment ment meeting by the above city
officials was secretly held at the West
last night. According to the gentleman
who is authority on all fist alterations.
the greeting between Messrs Haney and
Calderwood was very chilly, in fact, real

grew very warm. Mr.. Haney CHANGED

the city council at the suggestion OF -

but that if he had been he should never

Now the quarrel, if there. was any,
grew very hot. Calderwood led with
his left, infiicting an ugly wound on
Haney's mouth, if Haney was there,
and because Haney pulled off his shoes,
if his shoes were there, to hit the con-
trolIer. Calderwood made another
desperate play to cOncuss Rake-Of
Haney's rOutOunder. The war was now
well under way, and blood could be
seen curding in the eyes of the prlnci-
pals. Word after word and blow after
blow deepened the plot. until finally
the duel, if there was duel was ar

boat. and Immediately inStigated search
for Golightly Morrill, and Roger Vail.
Coroner Towers was then found and in
duced to Of1iciate as master OF cere-
monies. The party above named. if
there was any party, then proceeded
with pistols and knives to an old barn
IN. the city hall was scene
of great excitement. Reports were
circulating that Haney, if he was there,
had inflicted mortal wound on his an
tagonist. The last report at $40 a. M,
from the sport who is authority for this
story, is to the effect that Haney's Sec
onds, Golightly Morrill, and Roger Vail.
had arranged details to settle their diff
culties in similar manner, and that
the duel would take place at sunrise.
The reports have been so conflicting
that the police officials doubt if there
was any duel, or that Coroner Towers
had told Golightly that he should study
for the priesthood.
So with all the information at hand,
the GLOBE leaves its readers to decide
whether it was Messrs. Haney and Cal
derwood or Chief Bracket and Editor
Maben that have settled their differences
in this once sanctioned style.

The big. handsome, jolly Mai. John
Landberg. who watched over the South
Minneapolis distillery for two years as
no mother ever watches over her son,
has at last been removed from the re-
sponsible position (?) of doorkeeper and
general gauger. Col. w. L. B. u. McIn-
tyre, deputy clerk of the district court,
being appointed to fill the place.
Mai. Landberg is now identified with
the Germania Brewing company as gen.
eral solicitor. His general appearance
is one of the best Endorsements of the
good quality of the article he sells, and
it is piously hoped by his friends that
when they ask the young lady in the
telephone exchange to connect them
with the majors brewery they will fare
