A California Duel.

At Bodie, Mono County, on Tuesday
afternoon, Jack Braslan and a man
named Blair, who have for some time
been in partnership in their business of
mining and prospecting, met in the bar
room of Pollock's clearinghouse and
commenced an angry dispute concern
ing the terms of certain location they
had recently made. They were both
under the influence of liquor, Braslan
more so than Blair. After quarreling
for some time, Braslan exclaimed that
he was 90 chief which claim Blair dis
puted, saying he was willing to fight
him at any distance, from handker-
chief length to forty PAGES. This chal-
lenge Braslin, whose pistol and belt
were lying on the floor short distance
from him, accepted, asking for time to
heel himself" which he proceeded to
do by buckling on his belt. The two
men went out in the street, appearing
more pleasantly disposed toward one
another than they had been at any
other time during the day. Placing
themselves at less than eight feet apart,
at signal from one they both fired
effectively, Blair being struck in the
shoulder and Braslan in the side. After
the first shot they both fired rapidly,
until their revolvers, each six-shooter,
had been entirely emptied. After the
smoke of the twelve rapidly-fred shots
cleared away both men appeared rid
died with shot, blood from their wounds
crimsoning the snow at every step they
took. Neither seemed to have been
satisfied with the result, each starting
for fresh pistol. Braslan returned to
the bar-room and Blair started around
the corner of the house, where he Sc
cured another pistol from an acquaint-
ance, with which he returned to the
bar-room and shot Braslan in the abdo-
men, intiicting wound of which Bras
Ian died in about fifteen minutes. After
firing the last shot Blair fell to the
floor from the great loss of blood. He
was moved to the cabin of friend,
where, upon examination, he was found
to have been shot in four different
places. -NeUdtG city (Cal.J Transcript.

In his Problem of HEALTH" DR..
Greene says that there is not the re-
hottest corner or little inlet of the mi
mute blood-vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the CONFUSION occasioned by good
hearty laughter. The life principle or
the central man is shaken to its inner
most depths, sending new tides of life
and strength to the surface, thus mate
rally tending to insure good health to
the persons who indulge therein. The
blood moves more rapidly, and CONVEYS
different impression to all the organs
of the body as it visits them on that
particular, mystic journey when the
man is laughing, from what it does at
other times.
For this reason every good, hearty
laugh in which person INDUCES tends
to lengtheR his life, conveying, as it
does, new and distinct stimulus to the
vital forces. Doubtless the time will
come when physicians, conceding more
Importance than they now do to the in
fluence of the mind upon the vital
forces of the body, will make their pre-
scriptions more with reference to the
mind, and less to drugs for the body;
and will, in so doing, find the best and
most effective method of producing the
required effect upon the patient.

Voters will remember that the election for two
members of the District Board of Education
