AN UNEXPECTED OUTCOME.

"The Parisians ana the Germans

OF American duels wherein combatants
are locked into q room, their left hands
tied together and huge pistols put In
their right hands. They think that In
the western states duels OF this nature
are fought daily.

the American duel, Being challenged,
ATTIRE a certain quarrel, It was his right
to decide on the manner Of the combat
