pointed time. Little said that Wicks
Howard had applied the match. This
was nearly ten years ago. Turnertand
Howard fought, with pistols, of course,
and Turner was killed. Howard was
tried, and, according to the custom of
the county, acquitted. s
Then. It now being 1882, Turner's sur

Howard. Both Turner the second.

wounded in this second duel which
grew out Of the joke of drunken man.
Will Turner fed to Texas, but soon re-
turned. Then Turner the third, whose
name was George, made proclamation
that Bulldog Will" was on his native
heath again, and defied the clan of
Howards to do battle with the clan of
Turner's. The battle was fought and
Bulldog Will was slain. Twenty Turner's
and twenty Towards took part in this
third fight, which had occasion in q
drunkard's jest Wilson Howard was
indicted for the murder of Will Turner.
Wilson commonly "Wils") How
ard was not kith or kin to Wicks
Howard; he just fought against
the Turner's because he did not
like them; one Of them had whipped
him when he was boy. evils also
escaped justice, according to the custom
OF the country. After this "Wicks"
Howard drops out of the roster of fight
ers, and Evils" becomes leader of the
Towards, though alien to the family.
Wicks, however, had killed Turner, the
fourth, whose name was Robert, on
March Z, 1882. The Towards defied the
law; Sheriff King tried to arrest tho
leaders of the clan, but in vain. While
evils" Howard was on hail for the kill
ing of Will Turner, he shot at George
Turner, who returned the fire, but
neither was hurt In July, 1885, five
years after the perpetration of the
drunkard's joke, evils" Howard shot
and killed James Mcknight. Mcknight

Tuesday he shot and killed Alexander
Bailey, who was friend of tho Turner's.
After that he shot and killed George

HUMOR THE BOYS.
Make Homo More Attractive to 70,
Children Than tho Saloon.

Mako Home More Attractive to Your
Children Than tho Saloon.
That hoy of yours, father and mother,
is full Of life. 1t bubbles up and bub-
bles over all the time. A little seven
year-old son of an acquaintance of ours
says: "Mamma, it is very hard to sit
still SO long in school. Sometimes I
feel just like screaming" Yes, the lit
tie fellows are full ct lifo and fun.
They make good deal of noise in the
house and they disarrange some things
greatly to the annoyance of mother.
The Rural does not mean to intimate
that no restraint should be exerted over
them, but it solcmnly warns father and
mother to remember that there is one
place where that boy will never hear
don't do that and "now you stop
that" and 'if you don't stop I'll put
you to bed," once. 1t is the saloon, the
gaily-lighted, beautifully mirrored, ele-
gantly-furnished saloon. He can 60
there and have all the fun he wants.
He can strike the billiard balls hard or
soft as he likes; he can laugh as loudly
as he wants to; he can kick up his heels
and dance if he chooses, and he can
drink all the liquor he can pay for, and
break mothers heart without the slight
est remonstrance.
We have seen homes that the saloon
was getting the best of just as steadily
as the moments went by, and father
and mother we're helping to do it. The
boy could scarcely stir without being
forbidden to stir; if he wished to run,
mother said, "Now stop that;" if he
wanted to jump mother forbade it.; if he
wanted an extra room lighted up,
mother said no; if he brought some of
his playthings into the sitting room,
mother told him to take them out. 1t
was ''don't, " ''stop," quit that ''keep
STILL" until the little fellow felt that
all mother had to do was to oppose his
wishes 1t had become a fixed habit
with the mother to antagonize the
child. We have sometimes shuddered
to see 1t. BY and by when the boy gets
bigger, mother will not be troubled
with his noise. 1t will not be his pres
ence that will annoy her, but his alb
sence, and perhaps the time will
come when she would gladly permit him
to tear the whole house down, if he
would only spend his hours with
mother: Oh, parents, while the warm
welcome of the saloon comes pouring
from so many doors, don't turn the
boys face toward it; don't sharpen his
ears to hear; don't create in his soul
longing for some place. for any place
except home. Bear with his noise; let
him have his liberty as long as it does
him and no one else injury. If he
shakes the nervous system a little it is
only for little time. He will not be
boy long anyhow. Those soft sweet
cheeks will soon lose their boyish fresh
ness, but while they harden with age,
let mother and father do nothing in the
direction of wrinkling them with vice.
Make home pleasant for the child and
permit him to have his fun. It will
make him a better man, and the influ-
ence of such home will follow him all
through life and be softening, inspir-
ing influence. -Western Rural
