Kansas Pacific railroad and falling ia with
companions opened the festivities with
several drinks. Thence they rode to a
neighboring ranch where they obtained
q supply of liquor, and started home. On
the way two PANIED Rosseter and Mckee
yer engaged in an angry dispute about a
trivial matter, and all repaired to the
herders' quarters to settle the difficulty.
As soon as they were inside, the men
clinehed and both fell to ground fighting

them on; tables and benches were remov-
ed, and in ring improvised, the men beat

tigers. The onlookers in the excite
ment madly howled and danced
about brandishing revolvers, and encour-
aging their favorite in the fight. 1t was
weird blood-curdling sight. While the
orgle was at its height an oil lamp was
knocked from its place and the room was
in darkness. Men mad ran upon each other
and in a minute after the light had been
extinguished the melee was general. The
door was locked and there beng no means
of egress each man fought for himself.
Amid resounding blows and curses a pistol
shot rang out, and the death cry of the
victim paralyZed whatever of reason was
In the party. Almost before the cry left

hended.

Paso, Texas, say that Mary Churchill, who

and apparently so unreliable, that little
credence is placed in it. Col. Churchill,
the girls father, is using every effort to
obtain definite information, as the Cald-

ALARMED ABOUT THE BILLIARDIsTS.

afloat here to-day, one or two of which
found way into print regarding the
billiard players, Jacob Sch@fer, the
worlds champion, William Sexton and
Thomas Wallace, who have been in Cali
foruig and are now on the way east. One
is to the effect that they were captured by
cowboys near Georgetown, Col, and held
for q ransom. Another that they had a
fight with cowboys and that Sch@fer was
killed. All probably grew out of a
telegram received here by SchBfer's
Sister saving SsTaLe burt hut not ba1Iv ,;
