God won't keep young lady pious who has
her waist encircled seven times q week by the
arms of q spider-legged dude.
Some OF you little sinners are sitting around
here waiting for salvation to strike you as it did
st. Paul. Snow-bird waiting to be hit with O
canon ball. God adjusts His ammunition to
the size Of the man He is after. Mustard seed
shot will DO tor you.
Sow billiards, reap fools. Sow cards, reap
gamblers. Sow whisky, reap drunkards. Sow
germans, reap spider legs.
The dude looks as ii he was melted and poured
into his pants
There's many q fellow with a whitewash
brush trying to clean up little before he goes
TO God.
Many men think the people don't know that
they are gamblers, but they do. You wear fine
clothes, and look like q gentleman, and think
people don't know what you are. But you
don't hnd the town full Of greenies, you big old
fool you.
Some men are feeling all right, because all
their boys are girls; but the first thing that
you know the devil will pack OF q drunken
son-in-law on you. He couldn't do anything
worse than that II he had q thousand years to

FLAMES LEAPING FROM WATER WELL
EFFECT OF THE SCENE By NIGHT.
From the salt Lake Herald.
Mr.. Tim Winters had a curious experience on
Saturday evening last. He has been expert
menting for some time with view to obtain
ing flowing well on his premises He had at
one time pipe TO the depth Of about ninety
nine feet, but owing 10 meeting with some hard
substance, which made it impossible to force
the pipe any further, IL was taken up Another,
however, was inserted in its place, which on
Saturday evening had reached depth of
eighty-five feet The water. however, was of a
wash-tub more than anything else, and came
forth like a miniature geyser, the eruptions
taking place at intervals Of about fifteen min
utes, the duid rising ten or twelve feet above
the end of the pipe. On Saturday evening q
gentleman held a lighted match over the pipe
IN order to ascertain how near the top the
water had reached, when he was startled by a
bright, strong flame breaking forth and with
such strength as TO cause him to retreat in
haste.
Previous TO that Mr.. Winter states he had
noticed rather strong sulphuric odor, but
nothing that could possibly have led him to
imagine the results that followed the applica-
ton of the match. On Sunday the place was
visited by scores OF people, the news having
aroused that portion of the city and the rumor
OF q discovery of natural gas reached q Herald
reporter yesterday, who visited the residence
OF Mr.. Winters and Inspected the curiosity.
For q time there are no indications OF water,
save a deep, distant rumbiing as the ear is
applied 10 the tube; soon a fOamy substance
commences TO bubble over, then the water rises
slowly To the edge of the pipe, suddenly shoot
ing upwards. The supply OF gas is, however,
continuous, the amount seeming TO be regu-
lated by the action of the water, the greatest
quantity Of gas being obtainable during the
time the water Is running: and 1t Is during the
escape OF the fluid that the light burns with the
greatest intensity, thus presenting the almost
unparalleled spectacle OF fire and water coming
forth AT the same time and mingiing with one
another. The water Is very soft, but 1t does not
appear TO be of an oily nature. Al night the
spectacle Is described as being grand in the
effect produced. couple OF miners carried

HISTORY OF THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN SENA-
TOR HALL AND CAPT. SHELLY.
From Laredo Dispatch.
During the session of the last legislature sena-
tor E. F. Hall bitterly attacked the efficiency
and integrity of the state ranger force which
for years has guarded the frontier. The Sena-
tor was particularly severe in denunciation Of
those troops located in his district, which were
under the command of Capt. James Sheely.
These attacks resulted in the final disband-
Inent OF Capt. Sheeiys command. Sheely had
long been known one OF the bravest men on
the frontier and his departure was the cause of
great regret. For ten months past every male
inhabitant along the border has taken sides for
Or against the rangers. The feeling between
Hall and Sheey became intensely bitter
About II O'Clock on SATURDAY night Shelly
sauntered into the gallery of Holland theater.
Seeing Senator Hall sitting in the front row,
near aisle, Shelly approached and struck
Hall square in the face with his open hand. He
repeated this blow when Hall succee red in get
ting on his feet. Instantly both drew revOlvers
and began fl ing, Shelly retreating backward.
A perfect panic ensued in the theater and peo-
pie rushed wildly out into tue streets to escape
the flying bullets. The bysta 1ders momenta-
rily expected II Ill to drop with bullet In his
heart, Shelly being famous as a dead shot. The
senator. however, faced his dangerous antag-
Onist in the most desperate fashion, stepping
forward and firing every time Sheely fired.
As Shelly reached the loot Of the stairs Hall
ran to the door and fired the last ball in his
weapon. Shelly gave no signs of being hit,
but pulled Off his coat and his shirt was red
with blood. This explained why the senator
escaped with his life. In the duel Sheely had
been wounded by the first bullet from Hall 8
pistol, thus rendering his aim uncertain. The
ball entered the right shoulder. coming out
lust beneath the shoulder joint Senator Hall
of the first fire. but Shelly denies this.
1t was q remarkable duel. Six shots on each
side were exchanged. Hlll's clothing was per-
foruted. while a bullet grdZed Sheely's temple.
The feud will undoubtedly be renewed as soon
as Sheely RECEIVERS sufficiently.
