Indiana Judge has decided that
the personal property Of a man
who goes to Europe is not taxa

personal property OF those who 60

It's pleasant to record an occa-
sional victory for passengers,
rights. Mr.. Geo. Van Kouten has
recently obtained a substantial
one in a suit brought in CaSs
county, Ind, against the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
railroad. He was put off the
train twice and his baggage
thrown after him, because he re-
fused to give up his ticket till the
conductor furnished him a seat;
the seats were all full, and the
gruff conductor, forgetting as con-
ductors almost always do on such
occasions that the passenger had
law and justice on bis side, and
also that as a servant of the pub
lie spirit of accommodation would
have been becoming, fastened to
summons his vassals and roughly
elected tie unofeDding passenger.
The court regarded $1,000 as
proper consideration for this out
rage, which sum has been paid
to Mr.. Van Kouten.

A Romance.

The Boston correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune vouches
for the truth of a love story of
real life, whichembodies as many
improbabilities as are often con-
centrated upon one anecdote.-
About ten years ago a Boston
merchant sent his lovely daugh-
ter into Vermont for her health.
She stayed a few months and
fell deeply in love with a poor
but promising merchant there.
Soon after her return the young
man followed her to Boston and
requested her fathers consent
to a wedding in the indefinite
future. That party, however,
Indignantly rebuked his preten-
sions, and the young man went
West with wounded pride but
vast ambitions. In a short time
he amassed a large fortune, as
usual, but did not as usual, fall
in love again. The lady on the
other hand, Obeying her fathers S
wishes, married aud went to
Europe to live. In two years
she was a widow, but having no
call to America, she continued
to live abroad. Recently the
Western capitalist was called
to Europe on business. He
took passage last September in
a steamer bound from Marseilles
to Leghorn. A sudden storm
arose, and as the vessel pitched
about a lady passenger was
thrown overload. He leaped
after her; the crew threw over
the chairs and planks, but moth
ing was seen Of the poor crea-
lures in the water. They were
given up for lost. 1t happened,
however, that they reached a
plank, drifted about until morn
ing, and then were rescued and
carried to Malta. 1t is useless to
say that she was she and he was
he, and they were married at
once in the English chapel, and
are now on their way home to
America. Moral: learn to swim.

A Battle i'll the Air.
A Terrible Combat, between two
Rocky Mountain Eagles.

GA most terrible combat be-
tween two BIRDS" says the Yir-
ginia (Ney.) Montaa,ian of the
18th, occurred between two
large brown eagles in the yicini-
ty of the lakes above Virginia,
on last Wednesday evening"
When first noticed, the birds
were soaring, one above the 9th
Ell, at an altitude Of perhaps
three-fourths of a mile, and
seemed on a sail for pleasure
Presently the uppermost bird,
closing its broad wings shot
downward like a meteor for two
or three hundred feet, and with
wild, piercingsscream, lit fair
ly upon the back of the other
bird. Turning with the rapidi-
ty of lightning the victim
clutched its adversary with tall
ons and beak, and a fierce
struggle ensued. The savage
yells, the striking of huge wings
and showers of falling feathers,
gave unmistakable evidence Of
the ferocity with which the con-
test was wagcd. .a-
Gas they fought they fell
earthwards, and when within
five hundred feet of the ground
they became disentangled and
each swooped upwards again.
Now followed an interesting
trial asto which should first gain
a sufficient altitude to make an
other plunge. The circling of
the smaller was rapid and close,
while that Of his antagonist was
made with greater limits, and |
his ascension was quickest ac-
complished. The largest eagle |
was soon fully one-half mile
high, and some hundreds of feet
above his victim. lowering in
mid air for Il moment, as if MAX
ing sure of his aim, he again dar-
ted down upon his enemy, strik-
ing him as before with a force
that seemed sufficient TO kill Of |
itself. Again they grappled
and fought like winged demons
.whirling, falling and striking
'uriousIy for the space of two
,r three minutes. They were
low near the largest of the
axes, and now gradually des-
to the water. The
Of the smaller became
ess and less fierce; he was get
ing weak and was evidently
learly vanished, while his more
powerful aggressor seemed to
wage the battle with increased
igor. Il
"Another moment and the
;onquering monarch lOosed his
lold, and with an exultant shout
f victory scared upward. The
'attle was ended: his prisoner, /
imp and lifeless, fell into the {
waters of the lake with a splash {
nd fOated on the surface with '
tut a struggle. We with our {
ompanion tried to get the dead
agile, but were unable to do so
Without swimming for it. Both |
irds were Of very large size,
he largest measuring we think /
ully twelve feet from tip to tip. {
The spectacle was exciting in
he extreme, and the victory
complete. The battle t
ad likely commenced before t
re discovered them, as it does
ot seem possible for one to ,
ill the other in so short a time, |
Though the fighting was ter /
ific." @

A Gang of Gamblers Conquered
by Cattle DrOver.

by Cattle DrOver.
From the Denver Tribune
An old droyer from the far-off
plains of Texas got upon the
Kansas Pacific train at Els
worth with the intention of go
ing to Kansas City. There al
so got on the train at the same
station two cattle dealers, one
of them a short, muscular little
fellow who plays the most prom
inent part in the affair. A par
lty of three of those pestifer-
ous thieves known to all Wes-
tern railroads-monte gamblers
soon made their presence
known, and in a few minutes
pocketed the old drover's last
twenty dollar note. 1t was at
this juncture that the above
mentioned little cattle man in
Iterfered in the cid drovers be-
half, when the monte men AFRO
gantly told him to mind his own
business. The young man re-
sented the hint, and word led to-
blows.
The cattle-drover managed to-
put in a series of sc;entilic
sledge-hammer blows, which
soon sent the monte thief howl
ing and bleeding over the seats.
The other monte men Joined in
to take hand, when the other
cattle-drOver met them, and in
ashOrt time punished them fear
fully. Finding themselves beat
Ell, they retreated at the muzzle
of the cattle mems revolvers to
the sleeping-car and locked
themselves up in the drawing
room, drew their revolvers and
knives and bade further attack.
A counsel of war was held in
the front car, when it was a.
greed that the monte men should
be permitted to hold the sleep
ing car until the train reached
Salina, where a Sheriff S posse
had been telegraphed for. But
this arrangement was not salts

yer. He had resolved upon re-
covering the old mans money,

pointed at the window of the
iraWing-room. After washing
off the blood from his face and
hands, he walked boldly into

glass door. With a huge navy
'eyolver in each hand, the young
nan dashed open the door Of
he den, and pointing his cooked
'evolvers at the astonished gam
,lers, coolly demanded the old
lrOyer's lost money.
Finding that he was deter
mined to have it, and seeing
he passengers closing in with
oeked revolyers, the gamblers
ave up the money. This did
lot satisfy the droyer. He now
