An Arkansns WooIng.

A dispatch from Hot Springs, Ark, tells
the following: Two young men named Lem
Deshowan and Peter Lewis attended tho
Baptist church ofa settlement six miles from
here on Sunday with the ayowed purpose of
taking home the minister's young daughter,
and when Lewis moved from his own into
tho minister's family pew while tho sermon
was in progress, Doshowan drew his revolver
and opened fire upon him. Lewis returned
the fire, and tho congregation made rapid
exit by way of doors and windows. Neither
was hurt, and both being disnrmed, they
agreed to go into the woods and fight it
out with fists. Yesterday they and
their friends met for this pur-
pose, aud after both Lewis and
Deshowan had been thoroughly searched for
arms, aud were about to proceed to the woo ds,
the girl who WAS tho cause of the fight
desired to speak privately with Lewis for y
moment which was granted. While the party
were awaiting the result of the fist fight,
pistol shot was heard from the direction of
the scene Of tho conflict. Tho crowd hurried
to the spot and found Deshowan lying on tho
ground dying from shOt through the lungs.
He said that he was getting tho hetter of
Lewis, when the latter drew Derringer
quickly from his boot leg and shot him. The
girl had placed the weapon there during hor
brief conference with Lewis just before the
fight Lewis may bo lynched.

A UATTIE WITH INDIANS.

Wilson, Cartcct K Johnsons cattle ranch, in
the western part Of Laplata county, near the
Utah line, was attacked by Ute Indians July 8.
Chas. Cook and Adolph Lusk, employees of the
cattle company, were badly wounded. Five
Indians were killcda and number wounded. The
whites had eleven horses killed and 100 stolen.
The cowboys were driven off their camp, their
outfits burned, and provisions carried away by
the Indians. The two Wilson boys, and 10
years old, rode twenty-nine hours without food
or rest, and arrived at Durango last night in
an exhausted condition. The Utes have for
some time been causing trouble 70 the cattle
men, killing cattle and stealing horses One
OF the Wilson men found several Of the latter's
horses in possession of the Indians, and under
took to secure the same. An Indian attacked
him with knife and was killed. This precip-
itated the fight. Seventeen thousand cattle
are left at the mercy of the Indians. Col. Hail.
commandant at TT. Lewis, has dispatched q
company of cavalry to drive the Indians back
to the reservation. The Indians will probably
reach the reservation well supplied with
horses and cattle before the soldiers get in
reach of them.

Mosquitoes Under the Microscope.

The London Sportsman says: We
have long held the opinion that the mos
quito is an unmitigated scoundrel, who
could give our own lively flea six stones
and beating over n long course, but
we are now convinced. A gentleman
has examined Mr.. Mosquito under q
microscope, and his description Is, to
say the least, startling. 1t appears that
in the "bill" of the little beast alone
there are no fewer than five surgical
instruments. These are described as 0
lance, two meat saws, suction pump
and small Corliss steam engine. 1t
appears that when "skeeter" settles
down to his work upon nice tender
portion OF the human frame the lance is
first pushed into the flesh, then the two
saws, placed back to back, begin to work
up and down to enlarge the hole, ther
the pump is inserted and the victim''
blood is siphoned up to the reservoir
carried behind, and finally, to complet
the cruelty of the performance, tn
wretch drops quantity of poison int
the wound to keep it irritated. The
the diminutive fiend takes fly aronn'
just to digest your gore, and make. de
tracks for fresh victim, or II the Iis ITS
one has been of unusually good quality

energy, combined with his portable
operating chest, make him az once u
terror and a pest. Our English skin
grazers are doves in comparison With

A LUCKY FARMER

Some men are born lucky. The recent flood
In Texas bring ono Of this class prominently
10 the front. One farmer whose land was
almost submerged found himself when the
water subsidized the possessor Of raft OF wood
nearly a mile long by a quarter wide, which
driited on and remained. Nor was the wood
all he got. There were 5000 cedar rails,
enough lumber to build house, bedsteads,
vashtubs, chicken-coops, several kcgs Of
whisky, and TASKS Of whisky without end.
