Finding that he was determined to have

Paclne.
Kansas Pacific train on Saturday night en-
joyed the rare opportunity Of witnessing
one Of the iercest fights between despera-
does and equally courageous Texans ever
witnessed upon the Western plains. The
facts, as related by one Of the railway men,
last evening, are as follows:
An old droycr from the far-Off plains Of
Texas got upon the Kansas Pacific train at
Ellsworth, with the intention Of going to
Kansas City There also got on board the
train at the same station two Of the cattle
dealers, one Of them short, muscular little
fellow, who plays the most prominent part
in this affair. A party Of three Of those
pestiferous thieves known to all Western
railways monte gamblers-sOon made their
presence known in the next car to the sleep
ing-car, and in q few minutes had pocketed
the old drovcr's last 30 note. u was az
this iuncturc that the above mentioned little
cattle man came out strong'--as Mark
Tapley would say. He intcriered in the old
drovcrs behalf. when the monte men very
arrogantiy told him 70 mind his own busi-
ness. The young man resented the hint,
words led 60 words, and words % blows
The young cattle drover managed TO put in
series Of scientific slcdge-hammer blows,
which soon sent the monte thief howiinc
and bleeding over the seats. The other
monte men joined in % take hand. when
the other cattic-drovcr met them, and, IN q
short time, punished them fearfQlly. Find
