There is great excitement over
the duel which was fought at River
Bend, Col. The participants were
Albert Jessup, son of a prominent
New York banker, and NJ. O. Davis,
both of whom have for some time
past been trading extensively in
cattle.
The circumstances attending the
deadly encounter are of the most
peculiar cl.aI acter. No i'll will is
known to have existed between the
two men, and no cause whatever.
eau be assigned for the thrilling
tragedy. Seconds were dispensed
with entirely,th preliminaries being
arranged by the principals them>
selves in an apparently amicable
manner and without the slightest
display of anger or i'll will. The
men, after meeting and conversing
quietly together for few moments,
evidently determined that one or
the other must die.
What they talked about will, it is
more than probable, remain deep
mystery for all time. After Jessup
and Davis had concluded their in
terview, which had been brief, and,
as subsequent events proved, to the
point, they strolled together on the
prairie, and, after finding n suitable
spot, counted off fifty PAGES. Davis
was armed with a Winchester rifle
and Jessup with a revolver. A
crowd, having noticed the mysteri-
Gus movements of the duellists, COL
lected and had 10y this time ap-
preached near enough to witness
the preparations mentioned.
No sooner had the ground been
measured off then the two men took
their stations, $50 feet apart, and
as the words '.Are you ready 2" 49,
sued from the lips of both, firing
commenced. Jessup succeeding in
discharging three shots, none OF
which took cffecs.
Davis first shot was also wide,
but as the smoke curled from the
mouth of his repeater for tue secnnd
time, his antagonist was seen to
reel, the pistol was jerked from his
hand, and he fell on his face, dead
with 10 bullet through his heart.
Davis, aided by those who had
been spectators of the duel, carried
the body back to the railroad sta
ton, which is ON the Kansas Pacific
road, seventy eight miles east OF
Denver. The corpse arrived at
Denver in the evening, and was
placed in the hands OF an under
taker to be prepared for shipment
to his friends in New York.
After seeing the body placed on
the train at River Bend station,
Davis took advantage-of the con-
fusion which prevailed, mounted his
horse and rode off, since which time
he has not been seen.

Bankers, of New York, in reference
to the bonds of this railroad. The
First Mortgage Coupons due May /,

the financial condition of the road
is such that holders of the first
mortgage bonds can realize the
interest on them without sacrifice.
Amid the almost universal depres-

there is something that can stand

MUSCLE AGAINST BRAIN.

When Jackson was moving on to
strik McClellan's flank OIL the Chic
kahominy he came to stream that
had no bridge, and couldn't be cross
ed without one. The General had
brought with him from the valley a
rough, uneducated man, full of
energy, who had served him in
emergencies, aud in whom he had
the utmost confidence. He called
his man and told him to bridge the
stream Immediately; the regular
engineers were advised of the fact.
In a short time the rough carpenter
and the polished men of science
were at the same stream-the form

wished to go to work at once with.

AND NOV FOR TTLDEN At ST. LOUIS.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist
La our judgment the course of the
Republicans at Cincinnati makes
imperative the nomination Of Gov.
Tilden at st. Louis. 1t is no" out
OF the question for Democrats to
even hope 20 carry Ohio with any
candidate against Rutherford IL.
Hayes. Three times has he been
elected Governor, defeating in sue
cession the most popular Democrats
in the State, Thurman in 1867, Pen
dleton in 1869 and Allen Ill 1873
If neither of these men were able to
stand up before him i'll Ohio, cor
tainly nobody else from that or any
other State can. In all our calcutta
tions from this time hencefortl we
may as well allow Gov. Hayes the
twenty-five votes of his own State.
| The nomination of w. A. Wheel
err, of New York, for Vice President
with so much unanimity, shows d
just appreciation of the Importance
of her thirty-five votes, and gives
the party a better send off in that
State than if Mr.. ConkiIng headed
the ticket. Mr.. Wheeler has repre-
scented for many years with general
fairness and considerable ability the
st. Lawrence district OF New York,
usually in his contests running
ahead of his State ticket. The bat
tie ground is now unquestiOnabIy
the Empire State and the winner
thele will be Grants successor. In
our opinion, Gov. Tilden is many
thousands of votes stronger in that
State than any other Democrat. He
can cert. ly defeat Gov. Hayes
therein and by SO doing insure us
victory.
From now until the nominations
are made at st. Louis and from then
to November we trust, our ticket is
For President-Samuel j. Tilden
of New York.
For Vlce-Presidenu-Thomas a

was OF logs they succeeded in get
ting pry under the corner of it,
and lifting it sufficient for man TO
crawl in. One was sitting on the
end of the lever, one had gone in,
aud one was about half way. when
the owner discovered them. He
got his rifle, killed the man on the
pry, which let down the house on

HANCOCK And B1KARD.

The Columbus Indec, always sen.
sible, has some sound views in re-
gard to the nominations at st.
Louis. Either of the gentlemen
named would suit us. Bayard
comes down lineally from Chevaiier
Bay ard, he who was above fear and
without reproach. He is one Of a
line OF statesmen who have adorned
aud honored the annals of their
time.
Gen. Hancock was one of the
most brilliant and dashing officers
of the Union army. AS a brigade,
a division, and a corps commander
he has no superiofs and few equals.
AS the nominee of the Democratic
party, he would afford a striking
contrast to Brigadier General Hayes
of Ohio. We hardly think there
would be much shaking of the
bloody shirt. The Indsr has this to
say:
If the small voice of the South to
be made potential at the ballot-bo
could be needed ut st. Louis with
ont injury 10 our Northern political
alies-we should say to them
nominate Hancock or Bayard, and
the fires of enthusiasm will illumin-
ate every valley and hilltop. and
cabin and cottage, and make oppo.
sitIon but as field of dry grass.
Hancock is the brightest picture in
the gallery of Federal army officers
never forgetting or falling below
the dignity OF gentleman, and
eviucing at critical period before
the reverberations of arms had
ceased, capacity for civil life
which would be il jewel in the crown
of the most distinguished statesman
in American history.

N4POLEON'S H.1PPIEST DAY.

When Napoleon was in the height
of his prosperity and surrounded by
a brilliant company of the marshals
and courtiers Of the Empire, he was
asked what day he considered to
have been the happiest of his life.
When all expected that he would
name the occasion of some glorious
victory, or some great political
triumph, or some august celebration
or other signal recognition of his
genius and power, he answered
without moments hesitation,
''The happiest day of my life was
the day of my first communion"
At reply so unforeseen, there was
il general silence, when he added,
as if to himself. ~ was then an ill.,
