lx the Woods, Ala., September 9 .
[Exclusive 8pecial }-€ontrary to
general expectation and unknown to
everybody until this reaches the pub¬
lic, the great and well advertised
duel between Hons. W. A. Huff and
R. W. Patterson has had a most fa.
tal termination, and I am the sole
survivor upon the field of honor,
dodging the authorities of Alamba-
ma, a fugitive from injustice. I am
obliged to send you this through
Jim Mills’ telephone because I dare
not go to the telegraph office.
It is my practical experience and
knowledge of the code that has
brought me into this predicament,
although like Harry’ Jackson I am
no professional duelist—simply a
dilettante, as we say in Italian. All
the laurels I have ever won were
gained as a second in the memorable ’
fight between Col. Harry Brown and
Col. Sam Leak, in Judge Daniel’s of¬
fice a couple of years ago. Doeh
Rockwell was the other second, and
after Dosh and myself were satisfied
that honor was appeased and it was
seen that neither party was able to
damage each other, with Dosh’s con¬
sent 1 simply put out my hands and
separated the breathless combatants.
As the main duty of a second is
known to be to co-operate with the
principals in averting bloodshed,
this incident gives me my reputation
and was doubtless the cause of your
sending me here to report the Huff-
Paterteon duel.

With a grip sack well stuffed with
pamphlets and circulars of he
Greatest life Insurance Company
on Earth,I leftGriffin earlyonSatur-
day night and thanks to the elegant
and rapid accommodations furrtished
me by the Georgia Midland railroad
authorities in the way of a hand car,
I arrived here early Sunday morning.
Without any delay, I immediately
procured the fastest conveyance that
could be secured, without regard to
price, and accompanied by a small
yellow dog which was a perfect strang¬
er to me, I set out at once in search
of Huff. I wanted to get him to
take out a policy in my company,
on a new scheme just devised by the
company, by which Georgia duelists
are placed in a specially favored class,
being considered least liable to come
to a violent death and having great¬
est promise of long life. In some
obstinate cases, if we can not get a
man to insure ot herwise, we give a
guarantee that no harm shall come
to a principal while on the duelling
ground. This clause only includes
principals,and is so guarded as to bar
accidents, such as the bursting of a
pistoi, etc. I am sure if I had seen
Mr. Huff I could have got him to
take a policy in the Greatest Life In¬
surance Company on Earth, and he
would not have been obliged to go
home to look up his old policy, as
rates are very low at present. 1 will
put in an .advertisement for the
company next week.
It being .Sunday my search was
greatly simplified, ’most of the re¬
sorts for visiting statesmen and duel-
lists being closed. At the Central
bar 1 found the sir wed-off reporter of
the Atlanta Constitution pouring a
drink out of a bottle about the
same size as himself and telling
the bar keeper to charge it to Huff.
But there was no JEIuff there, so I
went to the side door of the Rankin
House refreshment room and found
fourteen other men, reporters, law¬
yers and policemen, looking through
their glasses for Huff.
Where was Huff? . That was 1 the
question. Where would he be except
with a fellow statesman? Reason¬
ing thus, 1 mounted my Black Maria
and proceeded but to the elegant
suburban villa of my old legislative
friend-Tom Chappell. I knocked at
the door and as there was some de¬
lay I looked in the window and saw
Huff going up the chimney with a
napkin under his chin. Mr. Chap-
peH greeted me heartily and asked
me to stay a week, bnt I thought Mr.
Huff’s breakfast might get cold if 1
accepted, and so I declined, letting
him off lightly* with a year’rf sub-
n

DEATB OF THE TELEGRAPH COBHES-
PONDKNT. Mi
The chimney that Huff went up
was on the Alabama side, so I at
once put whip to my good steed and
took to the Alabama woods. Here I
found Mr. Huff’s new stove pipe hat,
looking somewhat the worse for re¬
cent experience, and which he had
discarded in order to disguise him'
self by tying a red silk handkerehie*
around his head. In order to aid in
the deception I doffed my cap and
put on the bat. Just then the Ma*
con Telegraph correspondent and
several others drove np in a hack
and called me Mr. Huff. Itold them
I was not Mr. Huff. The Telegraph
man said I told a falsehood. I told
him no man could say that and Rve >
unless he was insured in the Greatest
Life Insurance Company on Earth.
With the usual arrogance of a cor¬
respondent who thinks he has struck
a good thing, he laughed a loud and
unmusical laugh and stated that he
was already insured in another and
just as good a company. At this L
opened up my gripsack and fired
solid facts and figures at him with
such precision that they hit him in
the‘T” (the principal part of him),
and he fell over with a dead loss to
the rival company, which shall be
nameless here forever more, of a
$5,000 policy.
Leaving the unfortunate but fool¬
hardy victim of an unfounded confi¬
dence in the hands of two doctors,
the hack driver and the Mayor
of Columbus, I brushed the dust of
the place off my shoes and wended
my weary way toward Sulphur
Springs, about two hundred miles
distant, to find Mr. Patterson. I
send you this en route A simple
mistake of one word is what caused
the failure of the two principals to
meet, and thusprobably averted the
bloadie3t encounter that might ever
have been known in the annals of the
State. It was decided to shoot at
two’ hundred feet, but the telegraph
operator who 'transmitted the mes¬
sage to Huff thought this must be
too near for two such bloodthirsty
combatants, so he changed the word
“feet” to “miles.” So that each par-
ty was in position at the time and
only the range of the weapons was
too short.
As it is, they are saved to fight
another duel, and each has yet time
to take out a policy in the Greatest
Life Insurance Company on Earth.

Three Negroes Smite a Fourth In Jaw
and Thigh.
Sheriff Connell and Bailiff Johnson
started off to Akins district last
night to apprehend three colored
miscreants for pretty nearly killing
another negro on Saturday. The
injured man is Louis Stinson, who
lives near J. M. Bishop’s place, and
w hose jaw bone and thigh were brok¬
en by blows with rocks and other
murderous instruments. At last ac¬
counts he was not expected to live.
The difficulty originated some time
before at a watermelon party. The
assailants are named Ernest Dukes,
Rufus Dukes and Geo. Slaton. .All
parties are youths, ranging from
seventeen to twenty years.
Stinson died late last night.
