How n Texan and an Indian Killed
Each Other.

The particulars of recent novel duel in

The affair come off at Tishamingo in the
Choctaw nation. Tishamingo is a small vii
lage where the Indians do their trading, and
is the frequent resort of hard characters
from Texas and other parts of the United
States. That region is full Of outlaws. Among
a dozen or more outlaws sitting in q saloon
was tall Texan named Chalmers. An Indian
police officer named Brown entered the saloon
and Chalmers insisted on treating. As they
were about to drink Brown managed to spill
Chalmers liquor on the floor, telling him he
had enough This enraged the Texan, who
demanded blood, and pulled his revolver With
one hand and his dirk with the other. Brown
also drew his weapon, and fight was about
to open, when the spectators interfered and
attempted to settle the matter
Nothing would satisfy the wounded honor
of Chalmers but blood, and SO the other
white men and Indians fixed up fight on the
following terms The two men were to stand
back to back in the middle of the floor. At
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 were
to turn in the same direction after clearing
the doors, and begin firing promiscuously.
Both principals agreed to these terms and
took their positions. The signal was given,
and both started from the house pistols 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, running toward Chalmers
with drawn knife, plunged it into the Tex
ans 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 In
dians and whites witnessed the duel

Of the interior upon the operations of the
Labor Bureau since its establishment, COM
missioner Carroll d. Wright begins with a
statement of the organization of tie bureau
and a review of the line of policy out
lined for the conduct of its Investigations.
The principal features of that policy were
refusal to recognize parties-that the bureau
should be disconnected with politics and from
workingmen or of employers and from the
support OF economic theories, individual
views or class interest The commissioner be-
lieves that this policy generally has been APP
proved throughout the country.
