about the dead water of Alder run, and
the big trout that had their home there,
which were likely to always have their
home there, because of the difficulties
that lay in the way of anyone who
sought to fish those waters. The
dead waters extended for nearly mile
over a level stretch of the streams bed,
and were nowhere less than four feet
deep. They were bordered on each
side by an almost impenetrable thicket
OF aldcrs, growing close to the edge,
and in some places where the stream
was narrow, closing over it and hiding
it from view There were many mar
row openings in this thicket where deer
sought the creek TO drink, and among
the alders many hemlocks and other
trees grew alongdhe stream. In some
places the dead waters were fifty feet

THAT PARROT.

It was some years ago. In an old-fashioned

Dueling Among Uncle SANS Wards Is Con-
fined to the Club.
1t is fact that among American In
dams of the same tribe, though they
may number thousands, there are few
cases of quarrels that ever result in
murder, This is strange when it is re-
membered that the Indian is passion
ate, uncontrolled in his impulses, cruel
and ferocious by nature They have
their difficulties and quarrels, but arbi-
tration Of the old men prevents blood
shed or murder.
Yet once in while a fight occurs and
it is novel sight to witness, says an
old western traveller. One buck chal-
lenges another to combat. Accom-
panied by his friends To the battle
ground, each buck is stripped and
made to confront the other .-s,.-.
Between them lies a war club. a
smooth, long piece of hard wood sea-
soned by years of service and regarded
with reverence because OF the blood
stains on it received during the war.
The seconds of the surly looking duel
lists toss up piece of bark. The win
ner picks up the club and his opponent,
folding his arms, plants himself, bend
irG his head.
1t is the club bearers privilege to
whack his antagonist just as hard as he
can, and with all the vigorous maiic-
iousness he can command. on the back.
One blow is struck and then the man
who has endured it picks up the club.
and his opponent is subjected to al the
force he can command.
So the whacking goes on. and almost
every blow is knock down one until
the duelist last knocked down refuses
TO accept the club from his opponent
He has had enough and the party breaks
up. The severity of the punishment en-
dured in these duels il marvellous. The
club used has a Jagged edge, and every
blow struck brings blood, making deep
cuts and fearful bruises.-N. Y. Advor-
tiser.

Loucl:s Men Sanguine.
While the convention was at work clos
ing up the business the malcontents were
holding a meeting at the Gayoso hotel
where they adopted a protest against the
whole business, declaring the acts of the
Loucks men an effort to "partisanize"
the order engineered by Populist leaders
Of whom Taubeneck had been chief. as
he has had rooms here and been all the time
in communication with the Loucks men in
the convention.

Not only this. but the antis mad their
protest recorded in the books of the re.u-
lar convention. The document was taken
into the convention by Parks of Texas,
who had sharp fight for what he consid-
cred his rights, and won and then returned
to the Gayoso hotel meeting and reported
his success. Among the siguers to the pro-
test are Ben Farrell and Secretary Taylor,
both of whom were elected - Office by the
Loucks convention, but say that they viii
join their fortunes with .he new body as
soon as the signal Is given.
Talk at an Open Meeting.
With the installation OF officers the con-
vention was practically ended and this
was done last night. While this was going
on in one room an open meeting was held in
another where numerous speeches were
made. The friends of the Populists said
the convention was third party meeting
and preached third party principles to the
exclusion of the Alliance doctrines. Macune
finally came into the hall and loud calls
were made for him. He made speech and
scored the members of the third party
executive committee, several of whom were
in the audience.
The Discouraged and Sanguine.
Conservative members of the order free
ly talk of the quarrels that have gotten into
it, and express no hope of being able to
keep the order from going to pieces. The
friends of Loucks, however, insist that the
order under his control will continue to
grow and in 1896 it will overcome both
parties and plant its leaders banner over
the entrance to the White House.

The Loucks convention went right along

Ben Terrell, of Texas, national lecturer;
members of the executive board--L. Leon
