anairs and made many political enemies.
On one occasion one OF the rival faction
vowed to kill him. Boulingny and his wife
were IN the New Orleans Opera house when
this man put in an appearance. Boulingny
was warned by friend. well, i will be
out when the opera is over" coolly re-
marked Boulingny. 'Shan / 60 out with
you or wait till il is over9 asked his wife,
Come along. If the shooting becomes gen

the opera he walked out with his wife
OF his arm. Over his left arm was his
overcoat, in the folds of which he hello his
big revolver
Are you Ed Bsulingnyln asked the
blood-thirsty man, approaching the couple
with his hand on his hip pocket
That's my namen-Bangl The reply
and the pistol Snot came from Boulingny,
and the man rolled over in the foyer NOR
tally wounded. He died an hour later.
One of the dead mans friends sent Bou-
hngny challenge to fight duel 1t was
accepted, and the man bit the dust the
next afternoon with a bullet in his neck
BouHngny's second was also challenged on
account of the same trouble, aud half an
hour later the challenger was killed.
Bouilngny is a man Of remarkable cool
ness. He is very near-sighted, and from
| early youth has worn powerful magnif wing
glasses.
Some years ago he assisted the police of
New Orleans in unearthing the Italian La
Malta society. So vigorously did he pur-
sue them that the Italians resolved to kill
| him. However, they did not dare to openly
attack him. One night, as he was emery
Ing from saloon, one of the fellows
slapped him in the face, knocking his
glasses off. rendering him blind.
! Quick as thought he drew his pistol
| and shot his sssailant, whom he could hear
| breathing near him. All this time six or
| eight Italians across the street were sending
perfect fusillade Of bullets at him. 1t was
| perilous place to be in, but he did not lose
his presence of mind. Coolly placing his
pistol in his pocket he got down on bis hands
| and knees and CROPPED over the sidewalk uu-
til he found his spectacles. He put them on
| and opened fire ON his assailants The fight
lasted fully ten minutes. and he loaded his
pistol several times with cartridges as no
| followed the retreating crowd Of Italians.
| de was wounded twice, but succeeded in
killing three and wouuding five of his as
| sailants.
Cine time while in Ell Paso, Tex, one of
| Boulingny's friends becme sick, and he hired
a big negro to nurse him. The negro stole
500 from the sick man and fled. A day or
| two latter Boulingny saw the fellow on the
| street and reproached him for his perfidy.
| The negro became angry and tried to brain
sent a bullet crashing through the negro's
| thick pate and thus saved his own.
Further illustrating his GOODNESS, the fol-
| lowing story is told: One day desperate
got the drop" on Boulingny, and stood
with huge pistol leveled at his breast.
Boulingny smiled aud said: why, sir,
| you could whip me; you could wipe up the
street with me-" He illustrated with his
arms how the man could do the sweep act.
| Quick as flash Boulingny's hand swept
under his coat and in q flash his pistol was
| out and a loud report followed The des-
perado fell paralyzed with bullet through
the lungs. He rallied, but a second shot
| killed HIM.
| These are but few of the many ARRAYS
that the man has participated in. In the
last twenty years Boulingny has fought no
less than eight duels, in which ne killed four
men. The others he wounded AS pistol
| shot he is quick, cool and uuerring in his
aim, there being few who are his equal and
none his superior on this continent. He is
sadly handicapped by his poor eyesight
Some six years ago he moved to the City of
| Mexico, where he has had several shooting
ARRAYS, but he has come off victorious
every time. Bouhngny is man Of medium
| hight, of dark complexion, aud has dark,
piercing eyes. In manner he is unobtru-
sive. and no one on meeting him would ever
| suspect that he is held in awe and terror by
the widest and most reckless men Of the
American froltier and Mexican capital.
