How Party of Cowboys Settled Their
Employers Dispute.

ST. LOUIS, Sept pa special from Denver,
COL, gives the particulars of a twelve-sided
duel between cowboys. Geo. Howard, owner
OF herd of three thousand cattle and John
Kelley, owner Of four thousand, were driving
in company from Arizona east of Trinidad,
COL. on the plains. The two herds were to
separate, Howard to take the old Santa Fe
trail to Kansas City, and Kelley to drive north
to Denver. On the route accidental exchanges
had been made, and Howard insisted on hav-
ing his stock out, but was unwilling to deliver
Keeley's, and it was finally agreed to settle
the matter by battle between six picked men
OF each party. Accordingly the twelve men
ranged themselves on horseback, the two sides
90 feet apart, and at a signal from their en-
poyers the fghs was to begin. At the first
lire four were instantly killed. Geo. Lester of
the Kelley party was shst through the breast,
one OF Howard's men fell with a ball through
his head, and two others of the same party
were shot through the head, The dismayed
Howard party with the exception of their en-
ployer fled to their camp. Kelley then rode
up to Howard and proposed that they should
tight it ont, but Howard declined, saying that
he understood the matter to be settled accord
ing to the terms Of battle made beforehand
This settled the matter, and an equitable
division OF the mixed cattle was then made
the dead were buried, and the drovers and
their charges separated for their different
routes
