Indian Territory.
Suddenly the men put spurs to the horses
on which they were mounted and fled for
the timber about an eighth of q mite away.

Wright opened fire, which was returned.
After several exchanges of shots the two
strangers fell nom their saddles, one

through the hip. They were paced
IN mattresses in the borton of n
wagon and started of for Kaufman jail 20
miles distant The one shot through
the lung died before reaching there and the

and there was nothing on their persons by
which to identify them.

Celebrated Men.
But few of those who have not been in
Paris ON the 1st OF November have any
idea of the general manner in which the
DAY of the Dead is celebrated by all
Paris.
The practice of laying flowers and
wreaths of immortelles on the graves of

pleasing one. and it is creditable to the

pericuces of the afternoon. The crowd
WAS something and there was
scarcely Il grave but that had its
wreath. with women piously kneeling or
men standing in absorbed contemplation
over the spot where reposed all that was
left of some one who had been loved and
lost.
OF course the tombs of celebrated men
attracted the greatest attention. In the
Pere la Chaise is a new monument to
Michalet only erected this year. 1t is by
Antoine Mercier and found many ad-
mirers. The burving place of the Hugo
family was naturally surrounded by
crowds of those who revered the great
author-and what Frenchman does not:
Near the 'rond point" of the Avenue
Delnvirne in the same cemetery are
grouped the graves of Balzac, De Nerval,
Nodier. Souvestre, Soulie. Buloy, Barge
and Delacroix, the latter in II magnificent
mausolcum copied from that of Scipio
