Last Saturday afternoon u couple OF
Piutes had a slight uupleasantness to-
gether on South C street, Virginia, in
cited by jealousy because one of them
had run away with the other ones wife
aud fat daughter. The gay bacon-faced
Lothario was iercely collared, but fear
of tho police induced both to refrain
from a battle just then. They agreed,
however, to go out in the hills and have
n regular Z" mill" after the style Of the
palc-faces, so away they went, followed
by lots of their dusky brethren, consti-
tuting judges, referees, b~ottle-bolders,
spectators, etc. AS soon as they got to
u good place at it they went, without
waiting for preliminaries.
Round First-Jim, the injured hus.
baud, got his plug hat caved in at the
very first pass, but be couutered skill
fully on Sans, the seducer, hair, tear
ing all the brass buttons and scraps Of
shell from one side.
Round Second-Cautious sparring for
20 minutes, then a severe clinch, aud
both parties fell heavily to sage-brush.
Sans dog here sprang forward and bit
Jim behind, tearing off the seat Of his
pants and some pieces of skin with it.
A cry Of " foul" was raised by the
spectators, but the matter was promptly
disposed of by all hands pitching in and
stoning the dog as long as he remained
within shot.
Round Third-Jim confident and up
10 the scratch-squaws behind him tit
terinp. Sam came from his corner with
A rush, but was totally demolished at
once by Jim bringing down both claws
like an oyster rake across Sans bugle,
chipping off several long strips,of skin,
and bringing the clsret quite lively.
Firs. blood for Jim-that made by the
dog to flow from Jim's round not being
allowed to count.
Round fourth-Both made q rush,
tripped aud fell over each other.
Round feth-Both evidently waiting
and watching for points. After As min
utes skillful maneuveriug Jim suddenly
grabbed n handful Of sand, threw it il
Sans face and then closed on him like
yellow jacket on u rotten sleeps liver
Sam wiuked the sand out Of his eyes
aud let 90 his right just as Jim opened
his mouth to bite off Sans nose. HI
drove his fist into the opening, the teett
barking his knuckles badly, but com
pletely gagging his adversary. AS soor
rs Jim could spit u Sans fist both
retired to their corners in disgust, amiC
the cheers of the spectators.
Round sixth-Both warriors evidently
getting shaky. Sam nursing his hs'
and Jim splitting excessively. They
walked slowly round each other Il
times, exchanging fierce looks Of def
ance, and got back to their corners IN
good order.
Round Seventh and last-Sam slow
in coming to the scratch when time wa;
called, and Jim evidently encouraged
thereby, Notwithstanding his dilapl-
dated aspect. After another long series
of wu~lk-arounds and savage scowls,
Jim made q tiger-like grab at Sans
pretty red flannel shirt, aud tore it Oh
him, totally running it in doing SO.
Sam now became fearfully excited, and
