The place was a grave yard-The
old cemetery-The night was dark
Last Tuesday night-the hour was
11--Prest Never Run, and his daugh-
ter-a boy fixed for the occasion
took promenade out to the old
grave yard to visit their future graves.
While they were meditating on the
mortality of this life and how uncer-
tian it was, Richard the l made
his appearance in company with his
friend Mr.. Blow Hard. Mr.. Blow
Hard seeing no one on the field except
the charming young Miss wanted to
be introduced. Richard the / did
the agreeable. Just then Prest.
Never Run raised up out of the grass
and in an ancient sepulehral voice
trembling with rage very coolly re-
marked, 'swhat in the Ill are you
fooling around my daughter for
Blow Hard answered with a shot.
Richard the thinking it was the
Prest. shooting, took his cue, ran
nobly, knocking down an even half
dozen of monuments With the gentle
zephyrs from his coat tail. But
Blow Hard did not think he HAD to
run, so he just turned On his Gatling
gun once more. This time he struck
the Prest in the side just below the
heart. Seeing that Blow Hard was a
member of the American rife team
and not disposed to listen to the voice
Of Richard who was telling him to
leave the field of carnage. he drop
ped his pistol and ran in and grabbed
Blow Hard around the waist-now
Blow Hard knocked him down on his
knees and then showed his cannon up
to his head and snapped at him, but
Providence interposed and would not
let the pistol go off, but as fast as
Never Run would get up Blow Hard
would knock him down on his knees,
but just as the Prest. was getting the
house to order ABOUT 20 of his friends
arose as it were, IRON their graves
and commenced falling over tomb
stones in that direction and separated
the warriors, and thenit was that Blow
Hard did his KEELING. He thought
his time had come and yelled murder
Justify, but the boys told him to
''carry the mail' out of there, that
be should not be hurt, and it did not
take him more that hour TO get over
in town. They tell us that Maj.
General lantern split tomb stones
getting tot , his friend, Never Run,
but when he struck the ground he
was up above Humplnies vineyard.
A surgeon was called and pronounced
the wounds not serious, although
some of the boys, and especially the
father of the young lady ran a very
narrow escape. Now graveyard is
a nice place to bury man in, but it is
Il poor place to call on the ladies.
Those gentlemen that went out
To- the yard to see the race were dis
appointed and we will state here, that
the fall races are over. Blow Hard
wont repeat. We learn that last
spring he stepped a mile in !. - and of
course he ran this last time and went
for revenge and he came very near
getting it. If his pistol had not hung
fire he would have closed the career
of one of Mexico's young men. 1t
was all . joke and he knew it was all
a joke, but you see he held the little
Joker and thinks he won the dav.
