Yes, I was the young man in the white
cap. 4 belonged to the white cap corps,
and when Mr.. Clemens was at Heidel-
berg had the pleasure of seeing some
thing of him. He is a great man, and
one of whom your countrymen should
be proud
About myself? What would you
have me say? 1 fought perhaps a dozen
duels at the university Tt is al in
Mark Twain's book
Here is what Mark Twain says about
Herr. Won Fluegen:
Twain Saw a Duel.
"One day in the interest of science
my agent obtained permission to bring
me to a students dueling place. a
student IN a white cap met US and in
troduced US to six or eight friends of
his, who also wore white caps, and
while we stood cOnversing,s two strange
looking figures were led into the room.
During the conflict had talked little.
now and then, with a young gentleman
of the white cap corps, and he had
mentioned that he was to fight next
and had also pointed out his chal-
lenger, a young gentleman who was
leaning against the opposite wall.
smoking a cigarette and restfully
watching the duel then in progress.
My acquaintanceship with a party
to the coming contest had the effect of
giving me a kind of personal interest
in it; I naturally wished that he might
win, and IL was the reverse of pleasant
10 learn that he probably would not,
because. although he was a notable
swordsman. the challenger was held TO
be his superior
The duel then began in the same
furious way that marked the previous
one 1 stood close by, but could not tell
which blow told and which did not,
they fell and vanished so like flashes
of light They all seemed to tell; the
swords always bent over the op-
ponents' heads. from the forehead back
to the crown. and seemed to touch ali
the way; but ii was not so-a protect
ing blade. invisible to me, was always
interposed between.
Surgeon Stopped Contest.
AT the end of ten seconds each man
had struck twelve or fifteen blows and
waTded off twelve or fifteen. and no
harm done; then a sword became DIS
abled and a short rest followed whilst
a new one was brought. Early in she
next round the white corps student got
an ugly wound on the side of his head
and gave his opponent one ike it. In
the third round the latter received an
other bad wound in the head, and the
former had his upper lip divided. Aft
er that the white corps student gave
many severe wounds. but got none OF
consequence in return
AT the end of five minutes from the
beginning of the duel the surgeon
stopped it; the challenging party had
suffered. such injuries that any addi-
ton to them might be dangerous
These injuries were a fearful spectacle,
but are better left undescribed So,
against expectation, my acquaintance
was the victor"
The visitors were taken in tow yes
terday by number of Mormons who
had been missionaries in Germany.
Professor J. J. Mcclellan gave a spe-
cial organ recital for them at the tab
ernacle. They were driven about the
city and taken TO Saltair Last even
ing they were entertained at the Com
mercial club. George Austin. superin-
tendent of the agricultural department
of the Utah Sugar company, gave
talk on methods of beet culture in
Utah.

Case Set For Trial at the October
Term of Court.

Beaver City, May 22---In Judge Marion

pleaded not guilty to the charge of muir
dering John Rex and the case, by agree
ment. was set down for trial for the
first day of the next regular term of
court at this place. which will be Oct l.
In the matter of the contempt of Henry
c. Gale, who was cited to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court in taking water on In
dian creek, in violation of a decree Of
this court the citation was dismissed at
the cost of petitioners. The evidence
showed that while Mr.. Gale had prob
ably taken more water than he was en-
titled to, the person who was in con-
tempt was the one who had actually
taken the water. and the undisputed evil
dence was that MI. Gale gave his son
directions to take only such an amount
of water as he was entitled to- The
court held that il the agent violated

master was not responsible in a contempt
