Cornishmen, living in cabins back of
lower Main street, were having lively
set-to Sunday afternoon, drawing to the
scene large number of excitement seek
ers, when officers Mckee and James in
terfered and stopped the encounter-to
the evident disgust Of at least one Of the
compa'ants put an end to it before de-
clsive result was reached. 1t seems one
was charged with giving away cat be-
longing to the other; accusation and de-
NAL grew more and more emphatic until
the disputants came to blows first agree
ing, in true Cornish style, that it should
be "a fair, stand-up fight" And the one
who was under was reminded of this
agreement when they were separated, to
which he good naturally and with high
sense of honor replied that he was man
OF his word in such matters, and would
meekly take the balance of the castiga-
ton at some time and place to be mutu-
ally agreed on. And SO they parted-on
terms, apparently, of hearty friendship.

oaor and luxury afforded by exploding

his stubborn cayuses to sense OF duty

looking, superanuated cayuse, without

with an equally forlorn looking rider.
