A PugiIistic Priest i.

A special dispatch from Usage City to
the Kansas City Times, dated September
4th, says:
a great sensation was produced in
the city last evening by the prospect of a
duel between Father O'ReiIly and Texas
Frank, A few days ago Father O'Reil-
ly was the subject of scandal IN En-
poria. His church at this place took
TIA matter up, made an investigation,
and the result was his dismissal from
the church and the loss of his congrega-
ton. Since that time Father O'Reilly,
who is large, robust Irishman, whose
clothing is the only thing
priestly about his appearance
has been, to use a worldly
phrase, on the rampage Yesterday
evening he accosted Texas Frank in
front of the Palace Hotel, and charged
him with having circulated the story
which led to his digrace. A quarrel was
the result and Father O'Reilly invited
Frank to go out of the corporation and
settle the dispute. They both started out
together, being, 1t was supposed, well
armed. A crowd followed at safe dis
lance, but when the limit of the corpora
tion was reached the Father refused to
fight They returned to the city by diff
ferent routes, followed by large crowd
of men and boys.
Afterward Father o. Reilly had a quar-
rel with McElfresh. proprietor of the
Palace hotel, in regard to some matter.
but Nc. soon gave him TO understand
that he would stand no foOlishness, and
the belligerent priest retired from the
scene OF action. Some fears are ex.
pressed a. 10 the result, as 0sReiIly has
said that either he would have the life
OF Texas Frank or lose his own Frank,
who is in the employ of the A, T. & 8.
F. r. R., as a special detective, is known
to be 9 peaceable. sober. quiet man, but
also the hero of several battles, who does
not hesitate 10 use his little gun, and
O'Reiliy appears 10 be wrought up 20 a
fearful pitch.

We are informed that THE News was
somewhat "taken in" so to speak, by the
''sad story" of Jennie Ingram, and that
the heroine of its Mondays sketch is
not so innocent as our pencil painted her.
We are sorry to learn this, both on ac-
count of the girl herself, and for consid-
erations not wholly unconnected with
the chronicler of her reported wrongs.
It will be apparent to all that our inten-
tions were good, and if iheyoung woman
is not entitled to the sympathy we strove
to create for her ii Is our misfortune and
her fault. We will haye to fall few
cats on Jennie, but our protest against
the disreputable house, which, under the
name of a hotel, harbOred her and others
of her class, is still on file.
