Desha on the Warpath.

LEXINGTON, NY, Sept. 2l.-A personal
encounter between Desha breckenridge,
son of W. C. p. Breckenridge, and James
Duane Livingston, i'm which a knife was
drawn and used by the congressman's
son, has stirred this city to its depths.
Livingston was leaning against the
news and cigar stand in the Phoenix EIo-
tel, when Desha approached and asked
for a package of cigarettes. Livingston
noticed DeSha and extending his hand
said: Desha, the election is over; we
should be friends.
Young Breckenridge replied; II think
You are one horse scoundrel and / will
not take your hand"
Livingston asked him what he meant
and Desha explained that he thought him
two-faced. Livingston said that he had
been a constant Owens man and had new
er professed anything else. Desha said:
''You are a id liar.'
At this Livingston struck him throw
ing his glasses Off and staggering him.
in an instant Desha flashed large dirk
knife and aiming it at Livingston's heart,
made lunge for his old time friend.
Livingston threw up his hand and the
knife pierced it, infiicting a serious
wound. Livingston then got out of the
,nadman's way 4 number of men rush
ed up and ended the fray by urging
young Breckenridge to put away his
knife.
The news of the attack spread widely
and in ten minutes the hotel lobby was
full of excited people.
