Lasso Duels Among the Cowboys.

"If the callow youths who have been
hopping around Europe and throwing
the society of two continents into
syasms of expectancy over their attempts
at dueling would come out into New
Mexico awhile and study our code du-
clio they could then get all the satisfac-
tion that their most blood'thirsty parti-
sans could wish," said Carl Brock, of

honor they employ their lassos as fight
ing weapons. have seen only two such
duels and I never want to see another.
The combatants ride their ponies out on
the smooth prairie, each accompanied by
q second, and with the lasso as their only
weapon they go at it for business.
Mounted as they are, they circle round
the prairie at cautious distance from
each other until one thinks be bas his
adversary ct slight disadvantage, when
he throws his coiled rope to encircle his
enemy's neck. Sometimes it happens
that both lassos are thrown at the same
instant with equal effectiveness, and then
of course the issue is settled by the pc
nies. But woe to the unlucky fellow
who allows himself to be lassoed without
also lassoiug his adversary, for it means
that he is to be jerked from his steed by
the rope and dragged over the prairie at
the top speed of his enemy's horse until
he either choked to death, if it be his
neck that is caught, or dies from bruises
and broken bones if au arm or leg be
caught in the lasso. But for its fright.
full brutality the spectacle could be re
commended to the lovers of duelling as
novel and thrilling one."-,S. Louis

Promising to go after a.paysiclau for her
husband, the neighbor, the only white
person besides themselvesi in eight miles,
assisted her In interring the corpses,
which still numbered tho house.
While they were engaged in this
work, heavy groan from little wood
close by, startled them. The man, more
frightened than the woman, was for re-
treating to the house, but Mrs. Merrill
insisted that there was some one in pain
Of trouble near them, and that he must
investigate the matter. BE refused, and
ut last the lady, borrowing his gun as a
precaation, she declared her intention Of
entering the wood her self. She persist
ed, though warned that the groaning
might only be a strategem to decoy her
into the woods where she would be
slaughtered by the Indians. She had
gone but little way when trail of
blood confirmed her in her resolutions,
and proceeding, she discovered an In.

fering wretch had endeavored to CON-
ceal himself. 1t wss the one whom she
had wounded in the breast while he was
endeavoring to enter the house at first.
He was delirious, aud blood WAS issuing
from his mouth. So, calling the neigh
Dor to come and help her, Mrs. Merrill
determined to take the Indian to the
house and care for him. When her
friend came and saw the redskin, he
caught up his gun and was about to
shoot the wounded savage; but throwing
herself in such a manner as to shield
him by her own body, Mrs. Merrill
cried
"If you harm him, Robert k,
I will reckon with you as if the ipjary

"But be is likely 10 murder the whole

Though busy with her own sick, the
lady nursed the red man several days,
but he bad been mortally wounded from
the frat, and died at the end ofthat. time.
By some means the Indians heard of this
generous act, and comprehending it as
they did her courage and ferceness In
defending her home, voted her in their
councils zone good squaw," and never
again attacked nor molested her or her

TuRPIN,s CONVICTION.
The Verdict Received with General E1-
pressions Of satisfsc ction.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. THE con
viction at Gallatin of Edward E. Turpin
of murder in the first degree for the kill
ing of William II. Carter, is received with
general satisfaction. The crime for which
Turpin was convicted attracted wide
spread attention on account of the
prominence OK the parties.
Carter was a member of one Of the old
est and most highly respected families in
Sumner county, and mis- slayer is un-
questionably the richest man in the
county, having inherited a fortune from
his father, who died about six years ago
in Philadelphia. Turpin conceived a
deep hatred for Carter because of the lat
ter's attention to certain young lady,
and threatened Carter's life on several
occasions
On the 10Th of last February he became
involved in adificulty with Carter, whom
he shot several times, the wounded man
dying shortly afterward.

NEW ORLEANsI srRlKF.
Not So General as supposed-It STay be
Arbitrated.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov THE great
strike has not been called off, but it is
doubtful if it will become as general as
was supposed, and it looks now as If the
matter will once more go to the arbitra-
ton committee
There is so much discomfort among the
rank and file of the labor organizations
that the influence of the leaders is
waning.
The strikers weakened and sent another
communication to the merchants, which
is being considered. sn-
The City Council met Saturday and ap-
pointed committees to wait on the labor
ers and the merchants to ask them to
meet at the City Hall to talk over and
explain the differences In compliance
with this request the merchants and
strike delegates appointed committees
and at 1.3O D. m. went into conference
with a City Council comm ittee at the
City Hall.
The merchants have suspended prepara-
tions for a general strike pending consid

lines in the city.
ne CObIOu uADOlerS nave not YET gone
out and the gas workers are still at
work.
The theaters were all minus orchestras
at both matinee and night performances.
The erchants are willing to arbitrate
with the unions if they will send their men
back to work, while the strikers claim
that all the differences be settled before
the men return to work. One of their
demands is that none but union men
shall be employed.
There have been have no disturbances
but the mill ita have been ordered to re-
port at their armores in case they are
needed. Even with the defections there
are over 5, 900 men in the great strike
and as many are negroes, it is deemed best
to be prepared in case of disorder.
Secretary h. g. Heyer of the Cotton
Exchange, said: 1--WE are right in this
fight. Every one working for us is
union man aud everything is working
smoothly between employees and en-
ployers Should the men quit work out

and passed resolutions urging an imme-
diate settlement OF Une matters at issue
between the merchants and their en-
ployes.

NOTORIOUS FEUO RECALLED.
Marshal Tom smith and the Jaybird-
Woodpecker Fight.

Marshal Tom Smith and the Jaybird-
WOodpscker Fight.
RICHMOND, Tex, Nov. THE killing
of Deputy United States Marshal Tom G.
Smith in the Indian Territory by negro
on board train removes one of the last
central figures of a notorious Texas fe I'D.
Almost a score Of widows and several
score of fatherless children owe their con =
dition 80 Smith, for during his lifetime
he committed many murders-at least, he
killed many men.
His death recalls the notorious Jaybird
and Woodpecker feud Of this Fort Bend)
county.
The Jaybird faction was composed of
the white Democracy of the county,
while the Woodpecker party embraced
white oftice-holders who had been elected
with the aid of negro voters, and who
controlled the politics Of the county.
1t was the desire to wrest the county
from misrula on the part of some of the
Woodpecker officers that brought about
the conflict Feeling became 80 intense
that personal encounters wero numerous
and everybody in Richmond went armed.
Finally, in the summer of 1890 the
feud eliminated in the battle on the
streets of Richmond in which the leaders
on both sides were killed, several
wounded, and the Woodpeckers driven
from the scounty, leaving the Jaybirds
in full possession.
A number of conflicts occurred between
the factions after this and then came the
wholesale arrests Of citizens of Richmond
by the U. S. authorities When the
cases came up in Galveston several more
men were killed in the court house.

A WORD TO woRKGNaMBN.

1t ought to be, and probably is, un-
necessary to urge any Republican to
60 the polls to morrow and vote for
G. N. Brumm, for Congress. The
issue which divides the two great
parties aud the position which Mr..
Brumm occupies upon it, entities him
not alone to the support of the Re-
pubicans of the county, but to the
support of every intelligent Demo
cratic workingman and business man
as well. Mr.. Brumm is no stranger
to the people of this district. He has
represented them in Congress for eight
years, and has won the distinction of
being the ablest representative they
have ever elected to that position.
There is something more than mere
partisanship in the election of
Congressman this year, 1t is not a
question of whether Mr.. Brumm or
Mr. Reilly shall draw the salary of a
Congressman during the next two
years, but question of whether the
great protective system upon which
the industries of Pennsylvania and Of
the nation have been built up shall be
maintained or abolished and whether
the present system of currency shall
be wiped out and the old system of
wild cat" state bank notes substi-
tuted.
These are the issues upon which the
two great parties are divided this year,
The Republican party stands for
protection and honest money, and
Mr.. Brumm is one of the ablest and
most aggressive champions of its
position: Republican success means a
continuation of the policy Of protec-
tion and continued industrial and
commercial prosperity. Democratic
success means the repeal of the tariff,
return to the rotten monetary system
that prevailed prior to the Rebellion, a
shrinkage in values, the unsettling OF
all business and industrial and com.
meTcial staguatiOn.
Mr.. Brumm stands squareiy on the
Republican platform and is one of the
ablest eXponents Of the doctrine Of pro.
lection in the country. At the open,
ing of the campaign he issued a chal.
lenge TO his opponent to meet him and
discuss its Issues before the people, sc
that the workingmen and business
men who are to be affected thereby
might understand and intelligently
vote on these questions. That chat
lenge, though repeatc 4, WE not ac
eepted, and Mr.. Brumm has gon,
through the county and has convince
every thinking and Intelligent votel
who has heard him speak that th'
continuation Of the policy of protee
tion is the salvation of the business
interests Of the country. He will
close the campaign in Shenandoah t.
night, and every Democratic working
man in the town owes 1t to himself, t.
