BUFFERS POLICY,
In the examination of Pitkin to-day
Butler laid the foundation for irving to
prove the alleged bargain of the Louisiana
settlement Butler said that while he
should prove Mr.. Packard was legally
elected, he believed that Hayes was entitled
to the vote of louisiana as well as the
vote OF every other southern state, if free
and fair election could have been held.
some OF the Democratic members OF the
committee took occasion to differ with
Gen. Butler on this point.
PACKARD SUMMONED.
The committee, at instance of Gen But
Ter, has caused a telegraphic summons to
be sent to Packard at New Orleans. to
come before the committee before sailing
lor Europe. Butler said he thought Pack
ara would throw some light on the trans
actions which he intended to show up. II
was TACT he said, which could be proven.
that the returning board of Louisiana was
kept up to this work during his count by the
promise that they should not be harmed but
taken care of. As the committee has enter
ed upon that branch of the investigation

the summer.

place yonder, with large cloak around
him, and his head bowed upon his
hand. He had been sitting there
only few moments when some one
brushed past him rather roughly. Rails
ing his head he discovered that 1t was
Gov. Reed, the very man he had trav-
eled 80 far to challenge to deadly com
bat, In an instant he was ablaze with
excitement, and rising. he exclaimed !:
You have murdered my brother, sir,
and now do you presume to insult me
Draw and defend yourself, sir AS
quick as thought Reed drew a six bar
relied pistol and fired, tearing away
Alston's third finger, just as the latter
poured broadside into him from a
horseman's pistol, lodging ball in his
side. The fire was repeated, each man
receiving another bullet. Col. Aston
was then out of ammunition, having
only two horseman's pistols. Throwing
his bowie and closed with his antago-
mist. In o few seething strokes Gov.
Reed was cut to tho floor and his oppo
nent sank in @ fainting fit. 1t was in
that melee that that bullet hole was
made up there.
DEADLY MEETING.
"The two men were taken to their
beds and for several weeks were
confined to their rooms. Col. Aston
was the first to recover. He was very
much embittered by the contest that
had taken place, and said that he in
tended to kill Gov. Reed on sight. A
few days afterward he met Gov. Reed
on the street. He went home and load
ed double barreled shotgun, putting
in one Of the barrels, it Is said, bullet
that his sister had moulded with the
lead taken from his brothers dead body.
Seeking Reed again, he fired at him on
sight. tearing away his shoulder with
the first barrel and Kidding his heart
with the second. This rencontre cre-
ated the intensest excitement and led to
some legal proceedings against Col.
Aston, which, however, did not result
in anything.
Col. Aston shortly after this went to
Texas. He had been there but short
time when he heard that DR.. John Nc
Neil Stewart, o man OF prominence In
Brazoria, had commented disparagingly
upon his affair with Gov. Reed. Meet

DAYS after this report had come to his
ears, he handed him letter containing
the offensive language, and asked him
IL he was responsible for 1t. Pending

they fell upon each other with great
fury. It appears that DIR. Stewart was
armed with pair Of Colts pistols and
Col. Allen with bowie knife and shot
gun. When found by their friends,
Aston was lying at the root OF large
tree. with four bullet holes through his
body; Stewart was lying near by, with
and stiff. Col. Aston was so badly
wounded that he could only be carried
in a blanket slung hammockwise be-
tween two men. AS he was being borne
into the town in this manner his friends
were met by company of armed men
who fired hundred shots into the

A Story With q Moral.

Beautiful, Intelligent, graceful, coy,
wayward, lovely Alice Moore disap-
peared fortnight ago from the farm
house in Weston, Mo-, where her foolish
but amiable parents had been beguiled
into the notion that she was supremely
happy. She was q young thing OF fif-
teen, and the old people set store by her,
and could not give her up easily. The
old farmer set out for st. Joseph, and
traced her thence to Quincy, Ill, where
he arrived on Chritmas Day. Thinking
that he would be apt to find her in the
evening at theatre or concert, he
stepped up to young newsboy to buy q
paper so as to glance at the list OF
amusements. Tapping the gamin on
the shoulder, the sturdy farmer looked
him in the eye. POUNDS! it was his
daughter masquerading in boys attire
and selling newspapers. She had had
her glossy hair cut off Close. and had
bought suit of boys clothes in store.
and was as jaunty a newsboy as ever
turned penny. Gentle Alice went
home with her papa to the old home
stead. Moral: Always buy a morning
paper.
