BiiIy Wilson, a saloon keeper Of that town.
The account of the ight is as follows: Dick

drinking freely during the early part Of the
night and playing cards with Billy Wilson,
Neathery became noisy and Wilson thought
vs. the hour was getting late, he wonl'i re.
quest Neatlery out Of the SALOON, with a
view Of closing mp for the night To this
Nenth.rv objected, and becoming still more
beiliserent, Wilson, who is as powerful
man as Neathery, put him out and shut the
door Neathery again come in aud a: once
opened fire on Wilson with a Al dsub,e.action
Colts. Wilson, who was anarmed, ran be.
hind the to get his gun. which was in
drawer near the end of the bar. The third
shot from Neatherv Is gun took effect in Will
sons back. Wilson then had his gun, 3s-
caiibre, and began firing, one shat of which
tool, effect in Neathery's left lung. When
Neathery had fired all the loads out of.his
gun, and Wilson hal him covered with
forty five, he pleaded tor mercy, which was
shown him by Wilson, who hit him on the

Obituary.

rIEn-At Sapinero, on Sunday, Nov. II.
at cancer of the stomrch. Mr.. l.. A. Paichin,
age 40 years.
Z. A. Patchin was buriefl here yes:e rdny-
M"nday--evening. He was apparently
strong. but had been sufferer from what
was said by some doctors TO be cancer in th-
s. m,c'. II had 'oag ago 1 ipat a d
den death, and had 80 shaped mis- affair. that
he could leave his business.in other hands.
With such in view lie was engaged in selling
ef his cattle. lie wen, to Sapinero through
the st"rIn Of Nov. LIST and caught cold. The
cold aggravated his other complaint. Real.
izing the seriops complication of diseases, he
sent for his wife. She received the news At
sight Mt their home on the Clear Fork oi the
Muddy She started on horseback to go across
the Black mesa, which was covered with
snow n foot deep and more, and rode forty
miles. Mr.. Pstchin died Sunday morning.
Al. Paichin. by that name WAS he kso~n,
was = man whose honesty, liberaiity and
energy not only commanded respect wherever
he was known, but his rcqnaintanc-s had an
affection for him. II on the range the cattle
men knew that Al. was truly a mxn. and 30
looked up to him; if he were in the drawing
room, hi. splendid physique, his manly way
and hn g-n,len-ss won consideration for him
even from strangers. He has borne an en-
viahle reputation wherever he has lived.
There are many who will mourn for him
a brother. In all things aud al all times
+. A. Patchin was manly aud honest.
II. had built him home; he loved his
home; he ~or.hirped his wife. There was
light were he went. Surely. he has not de-
psrt.i to Any other than a world OF eternal
Hight.
HE old home was in Columbia county
Wisconsin. He visi,ei his people la>i year.
We want to say to those relatives and friend.
Of his earlier DAYS that they may I've proud to
own E. A. Patchn bv the closest ties. The
deepest sympathy is felt 70: Mr.. Ps,chin,
his widow, and not only the people OF our
county, hu, the people of many western
town extend to her sympathy that wells from
the heart.

Dear .Sr.--In reference IN the article pub
lishcd in your issue of the 9Th. stating that
the Union Labor party got word from head
quarters. on the morning OF election, TO east
their vote TOR Mr.. Bell for District Judge. We,
the undersigned members of said party, re-
spcctfully deny the charge, together with the
implication itcnnveys, that we have been, or
eau he. voted like "peons' by master or
political boss.
Truly, we must state We are firmly set
against any thing OF that kind. We had
mostly agrssd among ourselves several davs
before election about whoui we would sup
port One MIN Of our party tabout the same
as in other political par,iesl is to waive i'm
material differences and vote solidlv together.
but never sell each other out, Ms was evident
ly dane by the old parties in this late election
In New York aud other places. We hope to
improve greatly upon the experiences of the
Farmers Alliance. Knights Of Labor and
other non.political organizations. Though
they may number millions, they are nearly
powe-Icss at elections, because one faction
vote, the Democratic ticket while the other
votes the Republican ticket, aud 40 they can.
eel aud kill each Others votes.
Under the banner of equal rights for all:
special privileges for none" we march on,
spreading the light Of political truth, which
involves the perpstuity Of true republic,
with the inalienable rights OF man, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.

a Kiss i'm a Canoe.

The maiden sat in light canoe.
AhOat on "a mountain lake.
And "a mad idea shot willy through
The brain Of her lover who sat there tool
That he, 10 that self same light canoe
A stolen kiss would take
Now The maiden sat there, unaware
OF the plot that he had hatched,
And the mountain breezes played with her hair
And famed her cheek, and her brow so fair.
AS she sat there still, quite unaware
OF the Kiss soon To be snatched.
Then the lover awaited a real good chance
To capture the longed for kiss
when, watching the whipping wavelets dance,
She turned her head with quick, shy glance,
And leaning back she gave him a chance
That was really TOO good to miss.
So be bent 10 meet her, and tried 70 steal
Tho Kiss that he burn 4 10 get.
But DE bent so quick IN his ardent zeal,
That tho craft upset like a whiriing wheel
And he missed the Kiss hat he tried 10 steal,
and they both got very wet.
