A NOVEL DUEL.
The Principals Walk Into n Dark Room
Filled with Tarnntulas.


Filled with Tarnntulas.
The details of one of the strangcst
duels ever fought has been brought to
this city, says Las Vegas letter, by a
prospector who has been in the noun
tains southwest of Las Vegas The
country is near the border line between
Old and New Mexico, and the people
there are mixture of the two races.
Two young men-an American and
Mexican-fell out over young woman
they both loved, and the result was that
the enmity became too great to be car
ried, and it was determined to end it in
q duel
The matter came about in an unusual
way, however, and it was not a regular
challenge and acceptance, but while in
company of mutual friends the Mexican
taunted the American with being a
member of race of towards and said
the Americans had no bravery. The
American, of course, disputed this and
said he would test the Mexicans brav-
cry if he wished it. He would be will
ing to go into a dark room with the
Mexican and there decide the point.
But the stipulation was that in the
dark room there should also be a lot OF
tarantulas turned loose. If either
came out alive he was to Lave the girl.
If either showed the white feather and
came out before the death of the other,
or before ell the tarantulas was killed,
he should give up all claim to the girl.
The Mexican was disposed to refuse,
but the fear of being looked upon as n
coward caused him to accept. The
room was prepared and the two men
went in. There were at least dozen
tarantulas in the room and also two
scorpions. The American walked boldly
into the room and took his stand, while
tho Mexican followed, but was hesitat-
ing in his manner. The doors had been
closed but short time until the Mexi-
can was heard 10 scream out that he was
bitL~.. and was dying. Tic doors were
opened and he staggered out and fell TO
the floor. The American walked out
unhurt, and then it was found that the
Mexican had not been bitten at all, but
had scratched his hand on a protruding
nail in the wall and had thought 1t
spiders bite.

A Remarkable Newspaper Enterprise.


Combination is the characteristic of
this age, and when capitalists are
combining in trusts, working men in
labor unions, and farmers in alliances,
newspapers can hardly be blamed for
joining the procession. Indeed it is
remarkable that the press has not
lead the way in taking advantage of
the power of association, instead of
tagging behind.
The Press Claims Company, whose
advertisement appears in another
column and will become familiar to
our readers during the coming year,
illustrates the advantages OF CO.
operation on an extensive scale. 1t
is a combination of hundreds of the
leading newspapers of the United
States for the purpose of protecting
their patrons against unscrupulous
Washington claim agents, and
securing prompt, efficient, and
economical service to all persons
having dealings with theGovernment.
Incidentally the company expects to
make profit for itself. 1t will
secure patents and pensions, perfect
land titles, and attend to all othel
legitimate business of the kind or
terms that will make its employment
a necessity to claimants having
proper regard for their own interests
Membership in this company is
guaranty of the high standing of an,
newspapers, all applications for stool
having been carefully considered ant
passed upon by the Board o
Directors before allotment. III
company comes before the publ
backed by the collective indorsemer
of over five hundred Of the leadin
Journals of the United States. Thf
the SIGNAL has been admitted
such an association is a complimel
which our readers will appreciate
4 highly as ourselves. We tai
pleasure in recommending the Pre-
Claims Company to all who ms
desire the satisfactory transaction
business in its line.

now owned by the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba Railway company.
In constituting these acts the depart
ment held that the grants did not
extend beyond the boundary of the
present state of Minnesota, and in
consequence of these rulings numerous
persons settled upon and improved
lands in Dakota territory, now the
states of North and South Dakota,
and were allowed to make entry.
The supreme court Of the United
States, constituting said acts, held that
the grants were not limited to Mime
sofa, but extended into the Dakotas,
and as large number of these settlers
and claimants, within the limits of
the grants so extended, settled after
the right of the company attache d
and were liable to be evicted from
their homes, congress passed an ACT
for their relief.
By the act authority is given the
railway company to reconvey the
tracts purchased, claimed occupied OF
improved prior to Jan. l. 1891, to the
United States, to the end that tho
claimants may be given good titl'
and thereafter to select an equa
quantity of non-mineral public land
not reserved, and to which no adverse
claim or right shall have attached o
been initiated at the time of tn
making of such selection, lying with
in any state into or through which tn
railway owned by the company runs
The company has filed in th
interior department satisfactor
evidence of the ownership of roa
in Minnesota, North Dakota, Sout
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wast
ington and under the provisions of th
relief act the company will be entitle
to select in any of these states an
non-m mineral public land, either cd
or even sections, which at date I
, selection may be unreserved and FRI
from adverse claims or rights, not
r exceed $40 acres in any one body.

Don't Want Giggling Misses.

Boise Democrat.
Many are objecting to lady
clerks in the Idaho legislature, for
the reason that they are constantly
laughing and confusing speakers who
happen to make a mistake while ad-
dressing that honorable body-the
legislature. And again, some of the
young members pay more attention
to winning the affection of the young
lady clerks than they do to represent
their constituents.

LEO'S GENEROSITY.
The Display CT the Vatican Treasures of
Inestimable Value.

The Display CT the Vatican Treasures of
Inestimable Value.
The information that the pope would
make an extensive exhibit at the fair,
which was contained in late cable
gram from Bishop Ireland, made happy
those who have the welfare OF the fair
mt heart.
1t has been known ever since Judge
II. i. Bryan appeared before the pope
and was SO graciously received that the
vatican would be represented at the
fair. The information received simply
proves that the exhibit to be made is to
be an important one. A formal request
for space was made upon Director Cen
eral Davis, and, of course, it met with
favor. The amount of space desired
cannot be told until full information is
received. The one article that it is
known will be displayed is a map of the
world published in 1928, the first pro-
duced after the discovery of America.
That map, which was promised for the
fair TO Judge Bryan, is of inestimable
value. 1t has hung in the vatican for
hundreds of years. The entire exhibit
will undoubtedly be one of great value
and Of greater interest. The mere fact
that it is made with the pope's blessing
will attract to the fair hundreds of
thousands of loyal Catholics who ordi-
narily would have remained away.

A Magnificent Ditch.

Caldwell Tribune.
The great ditch which has just been
completed in the Payette Valley is
probably the most complete piece of
work in the west. Not only is every
thing connected with its construction
iirst-class, but it is fenced its entire
length on both sides with five barbed
wire fence. A telephone runs the en-
tire length, with stations every seven
or eight miles, where houses are built
for water masters. 1t is most system
attic in every respect and if successful
will revolutionize the present system
of managing irrigating canals.

An exchange tells a story of a
tramp who rang doctors door bell
and asked the trim, pretty woman
who opened the door if she would
kindly ask the doctor if he had pair
of old trousers he was willing to give
away. 81 am the DOCTOR, replied
the plump and pleasing young woman
and the tramp tainted.

October. Even yet the people can
hardly realize the great Importance of
making an exhibit of the states S
resources. Idaho will measure her
products with every other state and
country in the world, and upon the
showing made, in the inducements
offered capital and immigration, her
future development much depends.

The diamond fields may be all right,
but we do not apprehend any great
fall in the diamond market on account
of the increased supply. AS a skep-

value of diamonds in Idaho consists
in holding five of one kind in a poker
