NICE, Dec. 2S.-In a duel at Monte
Carlo Count Peter Romanof, Russian,
was killed BY Jay Brockton, on American.
The quarrel out of which the duel grew
appears to have been due to a misunder-
standing on the part of the count 1t
seems that Brockton had been winning
heavily at the gambling tables and had
tossed a pourboire to the croupier, which
the count supposed was intended for him.
The count accused Brockton OF insulting
him by throwing him the coin. Brockton
denied the charge, and tried to explain
that the coin was for the croupier. The
count repeating that Brockton had in
suited him. Brockton gave him the lie d.
rect. and a challenge followed.
The two mes fought in the grounds OF a
private villa and evidently meant duel
to the death. The conditions Neretwenty-

Brockton left Nice yesterday. He had
been there six weeks and had played at
the tables almost daily. He was quite
popular.
There is considerable mystery as to the
identity OF Count Peter Romanoff. His
name, real or assumed, has suggested some
connection with the imperial family OF
Russia.
A newspaper suggests that Count Peter

DENVER, Col. Dec. 2s.-From San Juan
mining camp a courier arrived in Bluffs
City early this morning and reported a
terrific battle Yesterday, in which over
one hundred shots were exchanged. He
reported eleven men killed and large
number wounded. George Ferguson. an
old prospector. and James Cody, known
as blind Jim," one of the best known
characters in Arizona and New Mexico
mining camps, are among the slain.
A private dispatch this afternoon from
Dolores to John Eddy, a Denver mining
man, confirms the terrible report The
trouble grew out of dispute over certain
claims which have been staked out.
The direct cause of the trouble was the
discovery of large nuggets in the bottom
of small stream. Each man claimed
that he had first located the ground and
to settle the dispute guns were brought to
bear. There were over forty men engaged
in the terrible conflict. Few if any es-

Mr. Jefferson says he believes his wife to
be temporarily demented, and that shs
will be all right in a few DAYS. When the
matron at the police station searched Mrs.
Jefferson she found on her person 5000 in
cash and 80 700 in certified checks. She
is about thirty-two years old, good look
ing and weighs l40 pounds, and does not
in any way appear insane. She declared
that lsst night she became confident that
the ranchman had married her simply on
account of her money and that she had
been duped by him. She confdsd her
fears to the night clerk and asked him TO
assist her in getting away from her hus-
band. The clerk agreed TO keep her and
gave her a room in remote part OF the
house from that occupied by her husband,
saving that he wou q assist her to leave in
the morning. Later the clerk entered her
room and attempted to assault her. As
the door was locked her only means OF
escape was by jumping from the window.
The woman was badly bruised about the
feet and ankles by the jump.
Mrs. Jefferson's marriage took place in
the parlors of the Atlantic hotel and was
witnessed by two men and two women,
neither OF whom she knew.
