In San Francisco, at the theatre, Mr. Hubert had an inconvenient seat, and wished to take a chair on which Mr. Hunt's leg rested. The latter objected, and words ensuing, Mr. Hubert said, "that's enough," and took his seat again, Soon after, Mr. Hubert finding his seat very uncomfortable, gently took the chair from under Hunt's leg and placed the chair he had vacated before Mr. Hunt, who kicked it away, and subsequently struck at Mr. Hubert, which the latter resented. A challenge was the consequence--duelling pistols--ten paces, and Mr. Hunt killed.
