The Washington Star tells the follow
ing story: Gen. VIM. III. French has a
facial affection which frequently causes
n sudden contraction of the muscles,
and gives him the appearance Of wink
ing with both eyes at once. On the
march to Gettysburg, in the latter part
Of June 1868, the General, accompanied
by his staff, road up to Maryland farm
house which he proposed to make his
headquarters for the night. Several
females appeared ut the door, when
Gen. French inquired: Ladies', can
you accommodate me and my staff for
the nightP" at the same time discharg-
ing one of his double barreled winks.
The lady Of the house started back and
casting frightened look at her COM

with all the asperity she could summon,
replied: "Sir, you have made a mis-
take. We are not women Of that kind ~

put the offender under arrest for his
levity. Matters being explained, the
ladies granted him the permission re-

Indians who were in the fight on the
Rosebud say that Custer had gotten of
some distance from the fight, with sew
cral Of his officers, and might have
escaped, when unfortunately, he changed
his mind, turned, and ordering a charge,
the devoted party rushed upon the In
dians with revolvers, shooting down the
astonished savages right and left. Gus
ter killed five himself, when his pistol
empticd, and the foe pressing about him,
he closed with graphing savage, and
beating out his brains with the butt,
was shot rs his victim fell to the ground.
This doubtless true story supports the
theory advanced by military men at abe
time Of the. massacre--the idea Of some
desperate hnal act receiving support
from the position and location Of the
group Of bodies about Custer, viz: that,
he seeing his command annihilated and
fearing 10 face the consequences o.
scorning to live when his soldiers lay
dead about him, had deliberately rushed
to certain death.

On Saturday last, about dusk, Daniel
Brown and Byron Yount met AT Crop
per's and engaged in one Of the most des-
peratc encounters that ever took place
in Shelby County, both parties being
killed.
The particulars are as follows Dan
iel Brown, who was a local reporter for
the Shelby Sentinel, two weeks ago bur-
lesqued through the Sentinel younger
brother of Yount's, who had had a fight
with younger Pefry-both boys being
under Is years of age. Saturday even
ing last John Yount, the burlcsqued boy,
met Mr.. Brown at Choppers, and, TAX
ing him aside, asked him something in
regard To the article in the Sentinel.
Brown not making the matter satisfac-
tory, John Yount expressed his boyish
indignation al Brown, who resented by
shaping Johnny over, sEd walked off.
John reported the affair to his older
brother. Byron, who espoused his quar-
rel, and during the evening he and
Brown passed some high words. Each
knowing the others disposition well,
and being stout, able-bodied men, they
parted and prepared themselves for the
next meeting. Brown borrowed a little
four-shot pistol from his friend, James
Edwards, and Yount, after seeking in
vain for weapon, finally forced HIM
self into Alexandcr's store, and took a
pistol from the private drawer. Thus
other, and met mt the railroad, one on
one rail and the other on the
opposite rail. In this position
Brown asked Yount when he was
ready; Yount replied, Now" and
both fired simultaneously into each 9TH
err, only five feet apart. Yount's ball
entered Browns right breast, just below
the nipple. Browns ball entered the
lower part Of Yount's abdomen, and
ranged downward into the leg. Brown
continued 70 fire, and emptied his four
barrels, one ball entering Yount's wrist !;
another, entering his right side, ranged
around on the outside: one missed en-
tirely. Yonnt's pistol refused 10 revolve,
and while under fire he spat on his
thumb and endeavored To wrench the
cylinder around; but failing. ne closed
with Brown, and they pounded and pum-
meled each other with their pistols until
they we're parted; they again ran to-

exhaustion. When taken apart, Browns
grip was still upon Yount's arm, which
had to be loosened by friends forcing
open the hands.
Both parties were laid upon the plat
form, short distance from each other,
and five doctors summoned, but no re-
lief could be afforded Brown. While
lying thus, Yount, 1t is said, swore at
Brown, and said to him II he could only
reach him, that he would soon put him
out Of the way. Brown died ut 2 o'clock
Sunday morning, and was buried AT
Plcasureville Cemetery on Sunday.
Yount fingered until Sunday evening,
when he, too, died, after suffering great
pain.
Brown was graduate Of Emincnce
College, was member Of the Christian
burg Baptist Church and was well be-
loved and respected in his section.
Yount was the son Of George Yount, a
well-to-do and highly respected farmer

we're 222,986 more women than men.
With radius of Is miles, to include the
suburbs, the population swells to 4, 1885,
607. The yearly increase is supposed to
be a little over $4,000. Of the men,

Wonderful Petrifacti0ns i'm Colorado.

On Friday last we received call from
Mr.. L. Allen, an elderly gentleman from
Rochester, N. Y, who came to Colorado
about year ago. By the advice of
physicians, Mr.. Allen was instructed to
keep in the open air as much as possible,
and so has travelled extensively through
Southern Colorado, prospecting and view
ing the country. He gave us the partic-
ulars Of strange discovery he made on
one OF his tramps, but declined to give
the exact locality, mentioning only that
it was some distance from Pueblo. At
the place mentioned several large mounds
or foothills appear, rising from the
plains, and situated some distance from
the mountains. Mr.. Allen visited these,
and the first thing peculiar he noticed
was what appeared to be a petrifed
cocoanut. It was much larger than the
ordinary fruit of this kind, but almost
perfect in formation. The three eyes of
a cocoanut were plainly to be seen. On
breaking open the strange stone or petri-
faction, the shell appeared perfect, being
some half an inch in thickness, and the
inside was composed of white crystal
quartz. Mr.. Allen continued his investi-
cations, and discovered number of other
specimens similar to the first; also others
resembling other kinds of fruits. Some
of these contained what appeared to be
seeds imbedded in quartz Specimens
of petrifed wood in large quantities
were also found. The mounds or hills
appeared to be made up of loose, sandy
soil, and shells were found in great va
riety and quantity.
The strangest part of the discovery,
however, was yet to come, In digging
into the side of the hill Mr.. Allen I'M
earthed what seemed to be perfectly pet
rifed sea turtle, and before closing his
Investigations about a dozen of these
were discovered He described them to
us as being almost perfect, and no doubt
appears to remain in his mind but that
they are genuine petrifactions of sea
turtles such as are found in the Pacific
From the numerous specimens of shells
that are found at various places on the
plains, and numbers of which are found
in this neighborhood, many persons are
led to believe that the great plains on
which we live were at one time the bed
OF an immense ocean, and this discovery
tends to confirm that theory. We learn
that several gentlemen of this city, to
whom Mr.. Allen had disclosed his dis
covery, propose accompanying him in a
wagon to the scene of his explorations
and bringing with them some of the new
found curiosities. -Colorado Springs

tracted aunt of Alice for allowing the
poor girl toride the fiery horse, Flyaway.
When Herman Holliston camc back to
the home of his betrothed, the whole
neighborhood was in commotion over
the accident that had befallen the beauti-
full and beloved Alice Gray; but no one
distrusted Calista Langdon for an in
slant. When the funeral was over, the
heart broken lover, after passing
whole night on the grave Of his loved
one, left the place, and soon afterward
Calista went back to her home in town.
They sometimes met, but the guilty
woman could never Gallup smile to his
haggard face. He wondered about from
place to place, never at peace, and his
hair grew gray before its time.
Calista Langdon, from the time she
murdered sweet Alice Gray till her
death, never spent one happy moment,
and at last on her dying bed she sent for
Herman Holliston, and confessed the
whole. It was hard for him to forgive
her but when he saw her writhing in an
guish, and calling for mercy and for
giveness, he pardoned her, and she died
with faint hope Of salvation.
Herman Hollister is an old man now.
but every summer he visits the grave of
sweet Alice Gray, and only looks for
ward to their reunion in the world where
all is pure and beautiful
