LONDON. April 2a-1t Is rumored about town
tonight that Harry Vane Mllbank is the hero
OF another duel. The story Is that he came
out OF the affair unscathed. but his antagonist
was not so fortunate. having been severely
wounded in the hip.
The other principal in the affair is French
man whom Milbank met In Belgium after the
recent Borrowe-Fox duel The Frenchman
ventured some remarks. In which he
spoke in sarcastic terms OF tho Bor-
rowe-Fox duel. expressing the opinion
that 1t was we'll understood between the
principals in that affair that neither was to hit
the other. In his opinion the whole thing was
q put-up job. and reflected discredit upon the
persons concerned.
These remarks fired the doughty Milbank at
once. and he lost no time in challenging the
Frenchman. whose name. by the wsy is not
given in the reports that have reached this
city
Tho challenge was promptly accepted. and
the duel occurred on last Wednesday after
noon on Belgian soil. not far from Ostend.
Honor is satisfied once moro and the French
man Is suffering for his indiscreet language.
