THE FIGHT.

McCluskey was the first to fire, wheel
ing as he did so, though the smoke had
scarcely curled mp from his pistol be-
fore the report of Anderson's weapon
followed. A mOmentary pause ensued,
each of the antagonists closely scanning
the other to note the effect of the shot.
Across Andersons cheek deep furrow,
from which the blood slowly began to
tricl1le down, told the work of his antago-
mist, while McClusl1ey remained standing
in his original posture, to all appear
anccs unharmed. But this was not the
face. Those nearest to him fancied
they saw sudden spasm, as of pain,
pass through ms frame, and his face
certainly blanehed to a death-like pal-
loP, but Just where the ball had taken
effect they could not tell. At the Sc
cond fire McCluskey again anticipated his
opponent, and taking a more deliber-
ate aim succeeded in breaking his left
arm. Anderson uttered a sharp cry
and sank on one knee, but quickly re-
covering himself returned the fire, and
this time with horrible effect. The ball
passing through McCluskey's mouth
carried away with it several of the
clenched teeth and portion of the
tongue, finally lodging in the base of the
skull. McCluskey staggered forward
wildly few steps, and made desperate
efforts to steady himself. The blood
poured in torrents from the wound,
and stained his hunting shirt and drip
ped from the muzzle of his pistol; but
with heroic courage he continued to adj
vance, splitting out mouthfuls of blood
and teeth at every step.

FEARFUL WOUNDS.

During the interval thus gained An
derson, who in his crippled state had
every reason to shun hand-to-hand en-
counter, had not been idle, but fred an
other well ll-aimed shot which broke Nc
Cluskey's left shoulder. As if this was
not enough, he sent still another ball
after him, which, striking him in the
pit of the stomach, caused him to fall
forward heavily on his face. MeClus-
key was now mortally wounded and mo-
mentarially growing weaker from loss Of
blood. Tearing open his shirt in his
agony q crimson spot IN his left side IN
dicated the place where Anderson's first
shot had taken effect He still, how
ever, retained his grasp of his pistol,
and by an effort superhUman in it's cool
ness and delibeTation fired at his antag-
onist his third shot. The latter had
been closely Watching for this, and en-
deavored to ave himself by suddenly
dropping on the ground. Too late,
however. McCluskey's finger was al
ready on the trigger and his eye along
the sights, and when his adversary 5
body reached the earth it was heavier
by a Colts pistol ball. A scream of
pain followed and the spectators saw the
figure of man clutching wildly With
his hands at the grass and writhing and
twisting in horrible contortions. The
bullet had struck him fuii IN the abdo-
men and like his antagonist, Anderson
