vIGILANTES.
A Desperate Fight with Three Mur-
derers In Arizona


derers I'm Arizona
A recent Telegram. from Albuquerque, n NJ,
says Arizona vigilantes are again at work, and
last week Bill Mulcahy, Jack Kingsbury and
Nevada Jim, who killed two Mexicans and NOR
tally wounded two Americans at Oalabszas, were
pursued by an organized party Of fifteen.
The pursuit was kept up with vigor during
Monday, and at 4 D. m the fleeing murderers
were lighted In the distance, the animals they
rode being nearly tagged, heading for pre-
cipitous peak With yell the pursuers spurred
their horses onward. The doomed desperadoes
succeeded by superhuman effort in reaching
the goal OF their hopes, where they denounced
and sought refuge in the recesses OF its rocky
sides. As the puIsuers approached they were
received with q voiley from the Wlnchesters
with wh'ch the fubi ives were armed, and one
OF their number named Hennessy was wound
cd In the shoulder.
The avengers then withdrew and held q
hasty consultation, determining to kill or capt
ure the villains at all hazards. The party dis
mounted and cautiously advanced. keeping as
much as possible under cover until the base of
the rocky elevation was reached, when, with q
shout OF defiance and voley from their six
shooters, rush was made. With the GOODNESS
OF desperation the murderers awaited the on
set, and once more the Winehesters were brought
into requisition. The battle lasted but a few
minutes. The ambushed cutthroats fought WIKI
a fury born OF despair. I've Of them were
quickly killed; and the third, Nevada Jun, was
brought down by shot through the thighs.
The vlgilantes spared his life TILL a rope could
be procured to hang him. He suddenly seized
revolver belonging 10 one of his dead COM
rades, which was lying near, and fired at

Beth Hands Alike.

A person who has the equal use OF
both hands is called ambidextrous, az
though possessed of two dexters or right
hands. A man in New York Is u re-
markable example of this, anc he claims
that it is not born gift, but an acquire
ment within the power of any person.
Recently he lectured upon the subject,
and began his illustration by showing
on the blackboard what he called the
best test of ambidextry, the writing of
signatures. He wrote his own name
with both hands at once, backward and
forward, right side up and up side down,
and in half dozen different ways.
"This," said Mr.. Woodward, els q
valuable accomplishment for bank
Pres dent or a railroad Off nal for he
who can write his name twice while an
other is writing it once deserves three
holidays week or double pay.
Then the lecturer wrote love letter IL
French with one hand, and business
letter in English with the other, stimuli
taneousIy. Afterward, ut the same time,
the wrote such words as Fontainebleau,
and Constantinople. AS an athletic ex-
ercise, club swinging and dumbbeu
shaking sink into stupidity beside this.
The most difficult thing to do is to draw
a square with one hand and circle with
the other. Then he attempted the task.
The ends of the circle did not meet and
it was not round; beside, the square
looked like parallelogram, but the
audience applauded.
Finally, Mr.. Woodward drew, with
both hands, symmetrical geometrical
fipures. which he called decorative de-
signs, employing the right hand on the
right side of the figure, and the left
hand on the left side. He sketched
seven of these figures in minute and
half, and said, 81 will challenge the best
draughtsman in New York city to per-
form this task in an hour and a quarter
with one hand, and he may select his
own design"
