Particulars OF unique duel In Indian
Territory have been received here. The
affair came off at Tishomingo, in the Choc-
taw Nation, last Friday afternoon. Tisho-
mingo is small village where Indians do
their trading. and is frequent resort of
hard characters from Texas and other parts
of the United States. That country is full
of outlaws. Among a dozen or more of
outlaws and Indians sitting in a saloon
Friday afternoon was Texan, six feet
tall, passing by the name of Chalmers. An
Indian police officer named Brown entered
the saloon, and Chalmers insisted on treat
ing. AS they were about to drink, Brown
managed to spill Chalmers liquor on the
floor, telling the latter he had enough.
This enraged the Texan. who demanded
blood, aud pulled his revolver with one
hand and dirk with the other The half
breed, Brown, also drew his weapon, and
the fight was about to open. when the spec
tafors interfered and attempted to settle
the matter. Nothing would satisfy the
wounded honor of Chalmers but blood
So the other white men and Indians fixed up
a fight on the following terms: The two men
were to stand back to back in the middle of
the floor. Alta given signal each man was
to run out of the room, the Indian through
the front door and the Texan by the back
door. They must turn in the same direc-
ton after clearing the doors. and begin
firing promiscuously. Both principals
agreed to these terms, and took their posi-
tions. The signal was given, and both
started from the house, pistol in hand.
They faced each other on the north side of
the house, and opened fire at almost the
same instant. Three rounds were fired in
quick succession. Then the Indian began
to stagger, and ran toward Chalmers with
drawn knife, plunging it into the Texans
breast just as the latter fired his last bullet,
which penetrated the Indians heart. killing
him instantly. Chalmers died half an hour
after his antagonist. Over fifty Indians
and whites witnessed the deadly duel.

Canute the Dane.

In the days of Ethelred the Unready,
the Danes, who had troubled England
many times, came again, and year after
year, laid waste the towns, and destroy
ed the harvests. Ethelred tried to buy
off the invaders, and paid them large
sums Of money, heavily taxing his people
in order to do So. But the more he
paid, the more they demanded. 1t was
impossible to satisfy them.
Ethelred then tried to get rid of his
enemies by treachery. Besides the SOL
diers who had come for pillage, and who
robbed and insulted the Saxons, there
were many peaceful Danes, some of whom
had married with the Saxons, and were
living inofensive lives. Ethelred gave
secret instructions to the Saxon inhabi.

November, 1902. every Dane was MUIR

and the babies were put to death The
sister of the king of Denmark was
killed with her English husband and her
little child. In revenge for this barba-
rous slaughter, the Danish King sent his
soldiers to conquer England. For SIX long
years the struggle went on. Ethelred
was dsserted by his own soldiers, and

ton to be made up at the stores, which
he carelessly put loose in his pocket,
where there happened to be an old one

out the two, and was at loss to decide
which was the right one, but remember
ing that his friend was not only good
Latin scholar, but also knew something
OF medicine, he asked which would be
the one for a child with the measles. He
professed to read both most carefully, and
selected one, telling his friend that was
no doubt the right one, but it turned out
that, knowing nothing whatever OF Latin,
he had actually risked the selection rath-
er than own his ignorance. The effect of
the drug was to check the development
of the disease, throwing the poor little
sufferer into strong commissions, resulting
in death.
