Mellon two negroes, by the name of Joe
Small and William Richersou, got into a
dispute about something which they could
not decide, and finally agreed to settle it
with Winchesters. Each grabbed for his
handy rifle, and, in as close quarters as a
free handling of his weapon would admit,
opened fire. The first shot Of Joe Small got
IN some bloody work, as he sent a red-hot
whistling bali through and through the
body of William Robertson a little above
the heart. Nothing daunted, however, the
wounded man stood firm, and in dozen or
more returns sent daylight through the
clothing Of his antagonist in more than one
place, never touching the skin, while he
himself was receiving hypordermic injec-
tons of blue lead in nine other places. The
first wound numbered the days Of William
Richerson, and after taking the other doses
he could do nothing but lay down and die.
Joe Small, like scared buck, took to his
heels and fed.
