and Wrote Ills Obituary.
A desperate duel was fought one day
in August, 1856, by two girls about
eighteen years of age-Senoritas Es-
pinoza and NTorena-employcd at the
tobacco factory in Seville, that work
shop in front Of which the first net Of
Carmen" is supposed to eventuate.
Their seconds were men, who fur
ni3hed each girl with u dirk, after
which they were blindfoldod and placed
in an unliShtcd room for half an hour
and commanded to "Fight!" Then the
room was locked and the seconds joined
the other employees at dinner, after
which they opened the door and found
both girls alive, but Inortnlly wounded.
One of the combatantS was cut in
twenty.sevcn different places, and was
bleeding to death, while the other re-
ccivcd severe wounds in ten and fatal
ones in two places. The seconds at
tempted to escape, but were arrested
and sent to prison for six months. The
girls never spoke after the door was
opened, but one of them lived in great
agony for several hours, says the Chi
cago Herald.
Near Madrid, December 10, 1890,
Capt. Romero and Capt. Murillo fought
with sabers, and both were frightfully
injured and MANNED for life. Subse-
'quently the principals and their sec

the former were dismissed from the
army and the latter fined. One of the
latter, after paying his fine, challenged
the magistrate who fined hirn, who ac-
copied and received three wounds. lie
again fined the officer and was again
challenged, and fought with pistols,
killing the officer ut the first fire.
1t is fact, although / cannot pre-

scribe grossly insultcd an army officer
in the morning edition of his paper,
fought and killed him at noon, and pub

whole affair in his evening issue.

sion magnificently before the public"
The report of the national secretary
of the w. &. L. e., Miss Caroline b.

PENDANTS perfected their special plea.
and then Attorney Ives moved to strike
out the special pleas. Judge Porter
said:

amenable to the civil courts for the re-
suits OF such acts. The court will never
