Jackson Discharged.
Register.

Jackson, the cowboy who shot and
killed another cowboy named Bob
Paxton, at American Falls, an account
of which appeared in our last issue,
was taken before the Justice at Ameri-
can Falls and discharged. We have
since learned the following particulars:
An illfeeling had existed between
them for some time, and both came to
the Falls. Paxton told every one he
met that he was to "get away" with
jackson before night, and meeting
him on the street handed him pistol,
at the same time putting his hand on
the handle of his own, and said, "rake
it;eI will get there first, anyway"
Jackson refused to take it, and walked
away.
At every opportunity during the
day Paxton insulted and tantalized
Jackson, and in the evening", while
Jackson was eating supper III res
taurant, Paxton aud chum called
Oregon KID came in and sat down OPP
posite: Paxton at once commenced
tantalizing Jackson, who soon finished
his, supper and got up. AS he did SO
he pulled his pistol, and, covering
Paxton, said: paxton do you want q
to live any longer?" Paxton looked
up, but did not speak. Jackson re- .
peated his remark very earnestly when
Paxton made a spring, pushing his
chair back and Jumping to his feet,
catching his pistol, said "No." At this
instant Jackson fired, the ball taking
effect in Paxton's right eye, passing
through the head, and he fell dead
No sooner had Jackson fred than hs

WHEN WIN. Hooton and the pre-
varlcator of the WORLD were return
ing from a hunt the other evening.
AND while we were travelling at live
ly lick down ridge, between sun
down and dark, two deer sailed down
the ridge at full jump aud passed
within few feet Of Hooton near
enough TO kick Dust in his eyes-and
passed not more than ten feet from
the relater of this strictly truthful IN
cident, or rather the strictly truthful
relater of this incident. William
was a little excited, and at the sud-
den sight Of such daring deer forgot
ne had gun, which he dropped In
voluntarily and in an instant picked
up piece of porphyry float and just
as the 1eer were disappearing over
the ridge he let fly the stone and
struck the deer that was in the rear
OH the hind quarters, which seemed
to give hi,n--tl,e deer-a lift, and In
creased his speed. AS they passed
us we threw our gun at 'em, but over
shot, and the only damage done was
a few dents in the barrel OF the gun,
caused by striking forcibly against a
rough granite bluff. After the deer
had disappeared we two looked al
each other for several seconds in mute
asto',ishment, until finally William
broke the stiffness by remarking
swell Iii be DANCED if ever saw
the like before!' Simply that and
nothing more.
