weekly washing had been done as usual
and was being hung out at Just about
the time Mr.. Ballou was starting on his
Journey to East Greenwich. she did
not think her husband would be arrested
as he had told the thing just as IL hap
pened to the newspapers.
At the johnson homestead everyone
was as quiet AS the richly cultivated farm
around thom.
The sons of the deceased dsnied in every
detail the statements made by Ballou.
4 The farmers not related TO the Johpsons
had work to do anG did not seem much
interested in the affair.
The johnson boys story is simple one
but they lay particular stress on their
denial of the charge that their father
owed Ballou any money. AS they ex-
plain the thing both parties had for "a
long time unpleasant feelings toward
each other.
Then again the few neighbors say that
both men were constables and both used
hard language. One who heard the words
spoken on sunday morning by Ballou
says they were very vile and still another
tells tho story that johnson once bad a
writ TO servo on a man that worked for
Ballou and on going there TO served 1t

IL years and Ballou has lived on the

But as to the story told by the johnson
boys. They say their father stood In the
driveway opposite his own door, which
driveway is a good distance from the
main road, at about 8 o'clock sun
day morning, and when he saw old man

what ne wanted. and Ballou replied :
"Come out and L will show you.

SPOT OF BLOOD FOUND.

Then while confusion was at It's height
q spot OF bood WAS observed on Mondes'
shirt A thrill ran through every one.
Lugne Poe even was alarmed. IL turned
out, however. that Mendes had been prioked
In the hand by his adversary's sword and
had wiped IL on his shirt as being the
thing he had handiest.
The seconds OF both parties consulted
but as each pair objected TO settlement,
no result was obtained and the entire
company returned to town with honor
unsatisiieu.
Lugne Poo's seconds have issued n re-
port which places Mendes in the wrong, as
he undoubtedly was. The report of
Mendes seconds has not yet appeared.
The cause OF the duel was polemic
conducted on the part of Mendes in the
Revue blanche, and on the part OF Lugne
of conduct unworthy Of men who live for
