A MOST BRUTAL DUEL
The Like Of Which Was Nevel
Fought Before.
BUT 1T ENDED IN TREACHERY.
One of the Principals Is Dead and
the Other Will Prob
ably Die.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Oct. 25, From
Taos City come particulars of most
singular duel. 1t appears that in order
to settle an old grudge, an Indian set
tier, named Wankenshoc, and wealthy
Mexican, named Juan Verega, repaired
to place about six miles from Taos, at
break of day. The weapons were
butcher knives, and the method of fight
ing was for each man 10 submit his hand
to his opponent, and have one finger cut
oil, the cutting to be done alternately,
and the man who first evinced
signs of pain was to be stabbed to
the heart,
The Indian, by toss, secured the first
cut, and deliberately taking the hand OF
his enemy, with a quick stroke severed
his finger
Tie Mexican uttered not sound.
The Indian then reached his hand
aud oil came his thumb.
This continued in silence till the Mex
ican hud lost four fingers and the In.
dian four. When the Indian nguin
reached for his foes left hand, the lat
ter's second, being frightened at tho
fearful flow of blood, sent bullet
through the Indians heart.
The affair is one of the most barbar-
Gus and inhuiuan ever heard of In any
land. All the parties are well known.
The Mexican Will probably die.

END OF A FAST LIFE.
Suicide OF One of the Most Prominent
Young Mon of HutIc.


BUTTE, Oct. 22.-John l., Billings. ono
of the best known and best connected
young men of Butte, committed suicide
to-day by taking morphine. lie came
to Butte from Denver two years ago, and
entered into business with X. l.. Horn.
brook, and the two bought orc for tho
Pueblo smelter. They were successful
in a business way, but Billings driited
into bad habits, which led to "a dissolu-
tion of the partnership several months
ago. Since that time Billings hast been
going down hill very fast, ard las night
he was up all night drinking and gam
bling. This morning at S:30 he went
into Sin gers drug store and asked for
morphine, saying he had been drinking
and wanted to go to sleep. The clerk,
Jeif Thoroughman, knew, Billings, but
refused to give him the drug, and in
stead he went to the prescription case
and put up dose of bromide and valer-
ian, which he told Billings to take and
he would go to sleep all right.
Thoroughman then left the store, Bill
lings remaining in the doorway, saying
he would wait for the cable car. Instead
of taking the cur, lie went back into the
drug store and waited until the clerks
back was turned when he stole bottle
which he had observed in the case, while
Thoroughman was filling thcsprescrip-
ton. The bottle was plainly marked
morphine. This was done secretly and
was not suspected by the clerk. Mr..
Thoroughman returned to the store
shortly after o. The first customer on
whom he was called TO wait had pre-
scription which contained morphine.
Mr.. Thoroughman stepped to the case
to till it and Immediately observed that
the morphine bottle was gone. Mr..
Singer and the clerk both said that they
had not used the bottle and Mr..
Thoroughman's mind Mt once reverted
to Billings, and n prcsentiment of the
truth filled him with alarm. He at once
informed friends of Billings and began
to search for him, but was unsuccessful,
as no one knew where Billings roomed.
The latter in the meanwhile had gone
to his room at Mrs. f. Boyces opposite
the Clear Grit mine. He tolu Mrs.
Bovce ho was going to go to bed to
| sleep till tomorrow, as he had been
drinking. He went up stairs, swallowed
all the morphine and threw the bottle
out of the window. He then undressed
and lay down for his last sleep. At IL
O'Clock daughter of Mrs Boyce was at
tracted to the room by the sound of his
loud breathing, and lifting up the bed
covering saw that his face was getting
black. She gave the alarm, and DIR.
Gillespie, who was passing by, was inn
mediately summoned All the remedies
known to science were applied but all
to no avail. The poison had done its
deadly work, and at II few minutes after
o'clock Billings breathed his last.
| He was "a years of age and came orig
inally from Brooklyn, n. y, in which
city his father is u clergyman of rank.

Down Where the Fires Rage.

lFfOm tnc san ffhhclsco Argon0tt.
Prof. Jones answers Tin an English
newspaper) the question raised us to
whether the tapping and drilling OF the
earth for oil that is going on in Americu
is dangerous or not-that is TO say, likely
TO let out the internal fires of the cartl
TO play havoc with the surface far and
near. He compares the earth to bal.
loon ioated and kept distended by the
gas in the interior, which, If exhausted,
will cause the crust TO collapse, alflc,
the motion of the earth In its orbit
cause IL to lose its place among the heay-
enly bodies and fali in pieces. Another
writer thinks that drilling should be
prohibited by stringent laws. The scien-
tist says an immense cavity exists, and
TINT here the gas is stored; that n mile
below the bottom of the cavity is mass
of roaring, seethinglaame, which is grad
ually eating into the rock floor OF the
cavern and thinning it. Eventually the
flames will reach the gas and terrific
explosion will ensue. The simile OF the
earth being like balloon is not very
solid. Why not weigh the earth and
settle the question of solidity? Thc
scientist can weigh the sun and moon.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR,
In Which Nine Men Took Part and
Several Were Wounded,

About OF clock Monday evening, says
the Walla Walla Union, as Robert NJ.
McCalley was seated in his office at
work he was interrupted by the entrance
Of stranger, who inquired for Justice
Taylor. On being told that he had re-
tired for the night, the stranger asked
Mr.. McCalley to write q letter for him,
as he had been wounded in the right
hand and could not write. OF course
the request was granted and the letter
written as dictated. 1t was addressed
to Mrs. II. Knowlton, Adams, Or, and
in substance said that the lady's hus-
band had been wounded but not So
riously, and begged her not to worry, as
he was being well cared for. That the
fight had been seven men on two, but
they stood them OIL. The signature
given was j. G. Miller. With pardona-
ble curiosity Mr.. MeCaHey asked the
man where the fight occurred, when and
under what circumstances, but the only
answer given was that it happened back
in the mountains. but whether land
jumping. horse-stoaling or some other
thing was the impelling cause he would
not say. Nor could anything be learned
from him as to who his seven antagon-
lists were. He did say that Knowlton,
his partner. was shot in the hip, but he
did not think the wound was dangerous.
