1.-TWO Mexican half-breeds. 8 father and son.

Two Mexican half-breeds, 8 father and son,
camps. They were the sharpest shots in the
country, working together with a precision
that made them invincible. As soon as one
had emptied the chambers Of his receivers he
would reload under the cover Of the other.
Many q miner had they murdered and re-
lieved Of his outfit and treasure. a standing
rev ard Of $500 WAS offered for their bodies
or heads. Finally, Materson resolved to kill
the qalf-breeds. They occupied . cabin in a
little clearing in an almost inaccessible place
in the mountains. One morning, hours be-
fore day break, Masterson crept to the edge of
the clearing with 9 repeating-riis in his
hands. Hidden by q friendly bush, he re.
clined on a sack which he had brought from
Lis horse, that he had fastened q mile away
in 9 glen. Shortly after sunrise the door of
the cabin opened wide enough to permit the
shaggy head OF the old man to protrude. At
ter sweeping the boundaries of the clearing
with searching eyes, the head was slowly
withdrawn. In a few minutes the head re-
appeared, followed by . body with q belt of
pistols strapped around his waist, and a riff
slung over its shoulders. The old N IN car
ried q water. pail, and at his side walked the
son, fully armed. Masterson covered the old
man with his rifle over a path to and from
the cabin at right angles. The father and
son We're conversing earnestly, seeming un-
willingly 10 re-enier the cabin, before the
door Of which they stood for some time.
Thirty minutes passed, which seemed hours
to Masterson before he could obtain what he
considered a favorable shot. Finally, the
old man made a move which uncovered his
son. Materson took advantage Of his oppor-
tunity, and the young mar fell to rise no
more. Before the smoke revealed from
whence the shot had met the old man was a
corpse along side Of his boy. Cutting of
their heads, Masterson placed them in his
sack and started to exhibit his trophies in Or
der to obtain the promised reward. A two
day's.ride under a hot sun swelled and dis
figured the heads SO that they were unrecog-
piz IDLE, taking advantage Of which the au-
thorities refused to pay the reward"

a New Departure.

4 project, which is liable to assume great
proportions at an early date, was brought to
light in Wall street, New York, December Q.
It contemplates a sweeping revolution in
steamship building, and it has the support of
leading and influential capitalists, principally
Massachusetts gentlemen. Vessels are to be
constructed without mass and there will be
literally nothing whatever above the deck ex-
cept the too Of the pilot house and the fun
nels. One OF the projectors being inter
viewed said: ''We have stepped forward to
solve the problem by covering our vesself up
rs with q shell from stem to stern. This
will place us above all danger of rough seas
sweeping over US. No spars are torn out;
no freight goes overheard; 40 lives are lost;
everything is safe beneath the roof. The
costs Of the larger vessels will range from
$3.50 600 to $500, 00O-one.third less than
modern vessels Of the same SIZE.
One Of the objects Of the enter
prise IS to bring back to the United States
our lost shipping business, and to carry
American mai s and American passengers un-
der the American flag Among the gentle
men engaged in the enterprise are ex-Goyer-
nor Rice, Of Massachusetts, Mr.. Alexander,
who is at the head Of the Cunard Line, in
