Sheriff Everhart had returned from his
pursuit Of the robbers, having gone No

of the gang was lost near the north

and Lieutenant Peak separated, the
latter going into Montague county.
It was reported afterwards that he had
struck the trail, yet very little credence
Is given to 1t. Mr.. Sam Fully arrived
yesterday from Sherman. He with
ten others have been securing tho

A Change OF Climate.

Yesterday morning forlorn cricket

the warm weather of the preceding days
was shivering along the street looking
at a cheap second hand ulster, and wish
ing he were home, when he met wasp
that had been locked out during the fan
house-cleaning.
Ct am almost Frozen" said the crick-
ct; "my hands are fairly numbed with
cold"
"Put them in my coat-tail pockets, F"
replied the wasp, cheerfully, 'and warm
them"
The cricket did 80, and the wasp i'm
mediately warmed him with the i'm
proved heating machinery located in the
after part of his system. The cricket,
merely pausing to remark that there ap-
peared to be cayenne-pepper manu-
factory in the neighborhood, crawled
under the plank walk to die, while the
wasp, who was fond of his little joke,
went away singing merrily, "Come,

repeated, each man receiving another bull

Throwing back his long cloak, however,
he drew his bowie and closed with his
antagonist. In n few scathiag strokes
Gov. Reed was cut to the floor, and his
opponent sank in fainting fit. 1t was
in that melee that that bullet-hole was
made up there.

beds, and for several weeks were con.
fined to their rooms. Col. Aston was
the first to recover. He was very much
embittered by the contest that had taken

Romance Of the Spanish Marriage.

The marriage of Alphonso, King of
Spain, and the Princess Mercedes, third
daughter OF the Duke de Montpensier,
was simply great social event, having
little political significance. Alphonso is
the son OF the ex-Queen Isabella, and
Mercedes is the granddaughter of Louis
Philippe. There was time when q
Bourbon marriage would have caused
n commotion in Europe, because mar
riages were then contaminated for rea-
sons OF state, were the ceremonies that
gave notice OF new compacts on the part
OF a powerful family, and new combina-
tons i'll European politics.
Henry of Navarro was the first French
King of the House of Bourbon, and he
came to the throne AZ Henry w., in 1889.
He had two sons, Louis XIII. and Gas
ton, Duke of Orleans, and two daugh-
tiers, Elizabeth, who was married to
Philip Nv. of Spain, and Henrietta, who
became the Queen of Charles /. of En-
gland. Louis XIII. left two SONS, Louis
XIV. and Philip, Duke of Orleans. The
latter was the ancestor of King Louis
Philippe. The legitimist representa-
tive OF the Bourbon family in France is
Count de Chambord. The Orleans
branch has several prominent represent
atives, including the Montpensiers.
The eldest son of Louis XIV. was the
father OF Philip, Duke of Aniou, placed
on the Spanish throne in 100 as Philip
V. Philip was the founder Of the Span
ish branch of the Bourbon family, and
the ancestor of Queen Isabella. Thirty
years ago Isabella and Donna Louisa,
daughters of King Ferdinand VII. of
Spain, were to be married, and all Eu-
rope was agitated. Louis Philippe was
the adviser and dictator in this question
OF marriage, and, as Europe protested
against the marriage of Isabella to q
Bourbon of France, the FreEoh King
originated scheme that he thought
would finally bring French Bourbon
to the Spanish throne. Isabella was
married to the dull and incapable Don
Francisco de Assis, and it was believed
she would have no children. Her sister
Louisa, beautiful and wealthy, was mar
ried to the Duke de Montpensier, in the
belief that her children would succeed
childless Isabella. The old King was
foiled, as Isabella had children, and her
son is COW the Spanish King. But his
grandchild, Mercedes, the daughter of
Louisa, becomes the Queen OF Spain,
and the French and Spanish branches
of the Bourbon family are united, though
not as Louis Philippe planned.

An Extraordinary Range for Climates.

The Government astronomer of New
South Wales says that within its limits
may be found all climates, from the cold
of Kiandra, where the thermometer some
times falls to eight degrees below zero, and
eight feet of snow sometimes fall in a
month, to the more than tropical heat of
the inland plains, where frost is never
seen, and the thermometer in summer
often, for days together, reads from 100
deg. to 116 deg, and sometimes in hot
weather reaches 100 deg, and where the
average rainfall is only twelve to thirteen
inches, and sometimes nothing for a
whole wear.

Female Duelists.

Two colored women attended divine
service at Algiers, La, and on the way
home quarreled about certain young
mulatto. The result was they deter.
mined upon having a duel then and
there. The weapons chosen were
knives. A ring was formed by their
friends, and they went nobly at the
work of carving each other. Not until
one had stabbed her antagonist five times
did their friends interfere and declare
her honor fully vindicated.

Singular Fratricide.

A young man named Prather, Of Bos-
ton, Chatauqua county, Kan, killed his
oldest brother under peculiar circum-
stances. The younger brother started
on hunt, followed by dog, when the
older one called the animal back. Upon
this the younger one returned to the
house and said he had notion to shoot
the dog, whereupon the elder replied
that if he wanted to shoot any one he
had better shoot him. Young Prather
then, without ceremony, drew a pistol
and fired, killing his older brother in
stantly. The murderer escaped.
