desque. Algerian journalist, resumed
their duel this morning. Regis was
pinked in the forearm and hostilitics
were suspended for the day, but the
end is not yet. Regis in great rage in
suited Laberdesque afresh before leav-
ing the field. Another duel was decid-
ed upon on the spot. The men had met
early in secluded spot and went 10
work without delay. Both are skilled
swordsmen, and they cut, thrust and
parried for some time before Laber-
desque was able to reach his adver-
sary's forearm with the point Of his
sword. The sword play was adopted,
but the fiery Frenchmen on both sides,
including principals, seconds, doctors
and several privileged spectators, i'm
mediately began war of words.
Regis defed his opponent, insulted
him again and eagerly accepted another
challenge. In the meantime reporters
M. Malato, Of Aurora, and M. Leroy, of

Semitic argument and it ended in a
challenge and duel was arranged. IT
