PARIS, June 9.-All Paris is talking
tonight Of duel with swords fought
this afternoon between two members of
the old nobility Count Robert de Mont
esquoin and Henri de Regnier, at Neu-
lily lie Valois, growing out of remark
made by Mile. Heredia, the sister-in- law
of Regnier few days ago in the salon of
the Baroness Alphone de Rothschild.
Mile. Heredia, who was with her sister,
Nine. Regnier, turned the conversation
to handsome cane carried by the Count
de Montesqudin. who stood near her,
and remarked it was just the sort of cane
that might have been used at the char
lty bazaar fire to beat the ladies. The
count, who overheard the remark, in
terpreted it as an insinuation of coward
ly conduct on his part toward women at
the fire. Immediately withdrawing from
the salon, he sent a challenge to NJ. De
Regnier, who was escorting his wife and
sister-in-law, and at midnight his Sec
onds were appointed and preliminaries
for the duel arranged. On consideration
the seconds of De Regnier submitted to
the counts seconds that the remark
was one of mere banter. upon which the
count ought not to place SO serious a
construction and urged that the matter
be arbitrated. The Count de Montes-
quoin thereupon twitted De Regnier
with being afraid to meet him and
hro n ', i'm, tla
a coward. This resulted in a challenge
from De Regnier, after three days spent
in the discussion of conflicting state
ments as to the precise words used by
Mile. Heradia and Nine. De Regnier,
who had echoed her sisters remarks.
The Count de Montesquoin Immediately
accepted the challenge. His seconds
were the Count Dion de Montesquoin
and Maurice Barries land M. De Reg
nier's were Henri Goussaic and Jean
Beraud
The duel was fought in the presence of
Georges Hugo and the artists. NJ. FORM
and Caran d'Ache. The combatants at
tackled each other with the greatest
vigor and for ten minutes fought to kill.
in the third encounter the Count de
Montesquoin was severely wounded in
the back of the right hand. The sur
geons then interfered and refused to al
low the combat to proceed.
The combatants then Withdrawing, de-
clined even to how to each other. The
affair has made tremendous talk and
it may prove the first incident in gen
eral boycott socially of number of men
who are persistently accused in certain
quarters of having displayed the rankest
cowardice at the charity bazaar fire.
NJ De Regnier did not take his first les
son in fencing until after he had received
the challenge of the Count de Montes-
quoin. He is poet and leader in the
decadent school of poetry. He spent the
whole morning in sorting his manu-
scripts. which, after he had carefully
locked them in boxes, he sent to his Sec
retary for safe keeping.
This evening he called at the counts
residence, but it is not thought recon-
ciliation has been effected.

A MINING DEAL
Brings Two Experts Into the Criminal
Court

SAN FRANCISCO, June s.-Mining
men are discussing the strange stories
which come down from Hawthorne,
New, about the arrest for house break
ing of mining experts Hague and Alex
ander Womble. They have been held to
answer, were released on bonds and
their trial set for July 7th.
Behind the arrest is a story of the
famous silver Peak mine, located about
ITO miles from Hawthorne. Long ago
the mine came into the possession of
John l. Blair, New York millionaire.
who shut it down. Four years ago
l.. j. Hanchette. father of Mrs. George
Crocker got at Blair through D. o.
Mills and secured from him a bond on
the mine with permission to work it
and pay $750,000 at the end of certain
time. He pledged himself to spend
100000 in erecting mills and making
improvements and with L. E. Hanchette
his son, has since been developing and
working the property
Blair is SO years old and had to retire
from his business becauee of mental
incapacity. The Hanchettes say that
when they offered Blair's family the
$l50,0O0 purchase price it was refused
and a suit was begun over the matter
a month or two ago.
Now the Hanchettes charge that in
heir abeence experts Hague and Womble
went to the mine with force of mer,
overpowered the watchmen, broke into
the tunnels and mine house and secured
report on the mines which the Han
chettes never would have permitted them
to have. This report is supposed to
have been for certain millionaires de-
sirous Of securing control of the prop
erty.
The elder Hanchette heard of the raid,
fastened to Hawthorne and when the ex :
perts returned there had them arrested
There will be a big legal fight over the
affair, eminent counsel having been de-
tanned.
