DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

BATEsBuRG, May 3-The section
of country about four miles below
here was visited by terrible
cyclone this afternoon. The trees
along its path were torn up, many
houses unroofed and some COM
pletely destroyed. Mrs. David
Clamp was instantly killed and
her husband and son were injured.
Mrs. Steele and some children,
near Summit, were badly hurt

their hands, The disputants were
border men. The lie had been
given and that meant fight. Itwaf
simply how they should fight
how to give the smaller man Jan
equal chance.
"Look here" said Big Carter,
who had charge of the outfit,
"thar's an old adobe and we'll
hang a blanket at the door. Well
turn you both loose in thar and
when I fire my revolver the fun kin
Begin
Nobody said no. He would
have been looked upon as chicken
hearted. The disputants readily
agreed. Had one of them declined
he would have been branded p
coward. The frontier has it's laws
and customs. Both men stripped
to the waist and each was armed
with a keen bowie knife. There were
no threats or boasting. Each
pulled off his shoes and Jim the
half-breed was the first man to
pass in after the blanket had been
hung up. That blanket made ii
midnight darkness inside. Frank
as we called him followed within
ten seconds.
"Now boys," said Big Carter as
he stood at the door, "take opposite
sides. Now git ready. Now hunt
fur each other!' j
At the last word he fired his
revolver in the air and the whole
crowd stood in a half circle before
the door. Five minutei passed and
and there was no sound. Some
one whispered that they were
circilng around the wall in the
darkness. Another live minutes
but no clash of steel. no vengeful
cry, no shrek of pain and fury as
one of the murderouse knives,
drank blood.
"Come boys don't be afraid of
each other!' cried Big Carter in
his impatience and almost every
individual murmured his ap-
plause.
Five minutes more and still no
sound. The scars which those men
had exhibited in the freight were
proofs of their courage. The hut
was not a large one. One sA ould
have found the other in The frat
Boys, they are afraid of each
otherl" shouted Big Carter when
the watch showed they had been
inside twenty minutes. ''I reckon
we'd lest better have them out
and"
"sh !" interrupted a man who
had crept close to the door. Gall
listen! What's that?"
"Rattlesnakes by jingo!" replied
Carter.
.'And a dozen of emil" shouted
two or three others in chorus.
We got apolc and removed the
blanket. Then we tied a torch to
the pole and thrust it int othe hut.
Both men we're lying on the floor
their knives clutched IN their
hands. Between them around
them, crawling over them, were a
dozen or more monster rattle
snakes Both had been bitten over
and over again before their knives
had crossed. Jim had entered first
and a probably felt the deadly
fangs first. 1t was a duel to the
death and he had not cried out.
Frank had followed to be struck
in the same way but he too had
maintained silence They were
past all help when we pulled them
out. Each had been bitten three
or four times. Even the hands
which held the bright-bladed
knives had been struck as the
men sank down in their tracks. A
cry rush outdoors, would have
saved both but were the fangs of
the serpents less deadly than the
knives2
"Both game men and you bet
they was!" said Big Carter as we
filed up the shallow graves and
that was all. Next day they
seemed to have been entirely for
gotten by everybody.

He brings this suit to recover DANA

baggage; that the defendant company
had no notice of the contents of the
