CHUNK DEAD!
He Tackles the Wrong Man and Dies
with His boots On"
It Reads Like old Montana Times.

| From the Cimmaron. New Mexico1 News
We learn that ON Wednesday last another
tragedy was enacted at Red River which
appears as merited retribution for the
| terrible murder near Trinidad several weeks
since, by which Chunk" who did the
bloody work at the latter place, came to
violent and timely death.
II seems that when Chunk left for Texas,
as he undoubtedly did after the murder of
Walling, and after the dreadful mistake was
made by the Trinidad posse, who attempt
ing to kill him, shot Jack Kennedy, an
innocent man, reconsidered the matter, and
as is generally the case with his class, deter
mined to come back and declare himself
"chief y and try and maintain his reputation
as such. After having been back a day or
two he thought it time to begin to wear his
laurels (?) and ON the morning in ques lion,
he began operations by going on general
drunk with promiscuous shooting accom-
paniments. A few exercises, such as shoot
ing the eyes out of pictures on the walls of
the Red River saloon, opening champagne
bottles with pistol balls, only made him
thirst for fresh glory which he tried to
obtain by shooting at one man and hitting
another by the name of Cooper. He only
succ eeded, however, in shooting Cooper in
the hand, inficting painful but not dan
gerous wound. During the day there had
been horse race, and Chunk made himself
quite conspicuous and generally disagree
able. He threatened to kill several persons
in and about the Red River house, against
whom he had taken dislike. Finally his
attention was drawn to Mr.. Allison, stock
man from the Canadian, who was present
and with whom, we are informed, he had
had some previous difficulty. The latter,
however, divining his intentions kept his
eye on Chunk, and when at the supper table
Chunk drew his pistol and laid it in his lap
full cooked, also kept his arms where they
would be handy. The sequel showed that
he was not mistaken, for Chunk when he
thought "he had the drop" reached out
with his left hand for cup of coffee and
cautiously raised the muzzle of his pistol to
the edge of the table and fired across at
Allison. But Allison who discovered the
movement in time, threw his body out of
| the line of the shot, drew his own pistol,
anticipating Chunks second shot, and
caught Chunk just above the right eye,
effectually preventing him from making any
further use of the pistols of this world, and
sending him where, if he had pistol it
would hardly stay loaded. Chunk was a
desperate and dangerous character and Mr..
Allison ran narrow risk of his own life and
only saved it by his GOODNESS and courage.
| Sheriff Turner had started that day to bring
a prisoner from Trinidad, and learning that
Chunk had returned to Red River purposed
! to arrest him for the murder of Walling. on

A Nasal Billiardist.


An American named jefferson has lately
been astonishing London by playing game
of billiards, 500 up, against the English
player Dufton, and winning it, using his
nose as cue. To anticipate Punch it may
be as well to remark, perhaps, that this is
the first instance known of an American
travelling on his nose instead of his cheek;
but this merely by the way. Mr.. Jefferson
may be an American or otherwise, so far as
we have any positive information on the
subject, but as a man who knocks billiard
balls about with his nose, he belongs to the
world at large and scars above classifica-
ton. And yet we would not lightly part
with Jefferson, seeing that he is the only
man in the world who has cue growing
from the middle of his face. Let us touch
noses with him, and hail him as citizen of
our great Republic. AS a people, we have
been accused by effete European monarchs
and their bloated retainers of great many
indefensible practices connected with the
nose. Wespeak through our noses, they
say, and are addicted to intruding the ma.
tional nose into places where it has no bl,
siness. Perhaps; but our rejoinder is that
we have a full-blooled, sockdolaging, ring
tail roarer of citizen who plays billiards
with his nose, and we defy them to produce

from the stable. After the expiration of
sixteen years Mr.. Dodge was at the tavern

A Sad Story OF Waywardness.

The Chicago Times tells sad story of the
beautiful and accomplished daughter Of a
prominent financier of Cincinnati, who, two
years ago, graduated at a fashionable board
ing school in Philadelphia. In the summer
following she flirted at Saratoga, led the
German at the Branch, sang in public at
Rye Beach, and was very syren at West
Point. After time, however, she began to
lose caste. Her genteel visitors fell off, and
their absence was supplied by adventurers
and disreputable soldiers of fortune. The
parlors of her elegant mansion, that had
glittered with beauty and chivalry and
resounded to the sonatas of Mozart and
Haydn, gave place to the melodies of the
cork opera, and after time she secretly
left her home, and under false name ap-
peared upon the stage as ballet girl. For
a season she was oblivious to the view of the
public, and her actions were being forgotten
until one evening during the engagement
of fLawrence Barrett in Chicago she electrified
theatrical audience and revived knowl-
edge of her existence by appearing before
the footlights in subordinate part in the
tragedy of Julius Caesar. Her friends
endeavored to persuade her to return to her
home, and her grief-stricken father offered
to settle $4,000 on her as soon as she
renowned her wayward life. She refused
to listen to these entreaties, however, and
she again disappeared from view and nothing
more was heard of her until last week, wher

Bret Harte Sues New York Publisher
The Story Of Miss"

Bret Harte has suit upon the Equity
side of the Supreme Court against Robert nj.
Dewitt, the publisher. It appears that
the defendant has caused to be printed, and
is publishing and selling a novel called
Miss, which is stated to be the work of the
type upon the cover and back of the book.
Mr. Harte states in the bill that he is the
author of story published under the same
title, and originally printed in California
newspaper in 1868, and now Incorporated IN
volume of sketches published for him by
J. R. Osgood & Co.; that some years after
the first publication of this story, he was
applied to by the publishers of the newspa-
per in California to extend and enlarge this
sketch, and permit it's publication in the
| form of a serial in the columns of their pa
| per. He assented to this undertaking, and
wrote five additional chapters, which were
published under his name. His other en-
gagements not permitting the completion
of the work in this form, it was announced
that he had ceased to continue it, and the
publishers of the California newspaper Sc
cured one G.. r. Densmore to go on with
the task, which he did, and under his own
name wrote and published novel nearly
twenty times the length of the Original
sketch of Mr.. Harte. The defendant has
republished the whole in this city, in fifty.

THE AGE OF SLAMS.
Kid-Neeks and Other Inventions Of the

From the New York Graphic

CTOIl Tue INeW 1OiA
1T is really no wonder that the "opposite
sex !" occasionally bust forth into plaintive
reproach, and upbraid false fair ones for the
many means resorted to in order to deceive
them. For, in the contest for the prize
awarded by Paris to the most beautiful,
deeeits are invented and boldly worn, such
as are sometimes too astounding for belief,
Years ago, we remember hearing of a
French singer at cafe chantant, whose
husband, upon being complimented upon
the dazzling fairness of his wife's neck,
lifted off pair of shoulders of tinted wax

that any of our bellies should consent to the
paisry deception of wearing false kid-necks.
made in Berlin and Paris, and sent with a
vast amount Of mystery to the beauty am
bilious of full ronnd neck and shoulders,
is something that almost needs to be seen
"to be believed" Yet this is done. Let
one fancy meeting a lady at a ball whose
tulle scarf is dextrously wrapped about her
throat and carelessly thrown back, serves
only to soften the gloss and enhance the
symmetry of what seems to her dazzled OBJ
server pair of superb shoulders. Fancy
discovering afterwards, perhaps, when said
lady has become bride, that these shoul-
| ders were but dream-nade Of kid! That
is worse than nightmare, and it would seem
that even very Bayard could hardly say,
"False one, l love thee stilln'
| That the desire to have the credit for
having what does not belong to one should
urge to such fragrant deception is astonish-
ing, but still more so is the blindness that
leads the deceiver to suppose that thin
arms, ETC., can be reconciled with this
roundness in the neck. And here puffed,
tulled sleeves are called into play 1t is
said that fiesh-colored enamel makes the
complexion, down to the joining hidden
by the tulle, a perfect match to the kid!
Does not this cap the climax? What eli
max the reader may demand. Well, that
of the piled up deceptions of enamek, fou-
ges, dyed or bleached hair, false eyebrows,
false teeth, pads, colored lips, stuffed bus
ties, altitude e-bestowing heels, artificial
calves, etc.
But the men are "just as bad,'' it is
claimed. Afashionable druggist informs the
ladies that he sells as much Magnolia Balm

while the tailor whispers of false shoulders
made of wood; and the barber, the dentist,
and the vender of uniforms all tell their
anything but flattering tale.

A Romantic Story of Washington Life
Graphic's Correspondence.


A beautiful young widow appears in So
ciety this winter whose story is very roman
tic. Three years ago one Of the bellies of
Washington was lovely girl who passed
most of the season Cher first in society
with Mrs. Admiral Lee. Miss Bessie Beale
had many admirers, and soon it was known
that Mr.. Sturtevant, of New York, was the
favored suitor, and in the spring the an
nouncement was made that a brilliant we'd
ding the next autumn would seal the hap
piness of the young lovers. But in July
there was grand denouement. Mr.. Stur-
tevant disappeared from a "Sound " boat
on its way to Newport, and the supposition
was, and still is, that he accidentally fell
overheard and was drowned Immediately
after the announcement, which, of course,
caused great CONSERVATION, society was
still further amazed by the publication Of
the marriage in June in Baltimore of Mr..
Sturtevant and Miss Beale. Tt seems that
the young people, with the consent of the
BRIDES mother, were privately married; but
the express stipulation was agreed upon
that no publication should be made until
the time previously fixed for the wedding
in October, and that the bride should re-
main with her parents until that time and
continue to receive visits from the groom
| just as she had done hitherto. The mar
riage was duly proven, the certificate being
in regular form, and the young widow, the
period of whose wifehood was comprised i'll
the brief time necessary to perform the
marriage ceremony, succeeded to her late
husbands property. This is one Of the ro-
mances of real life which is indeed stranger
