BOY DROWNED.
Ernest Mcdaniel Falls in the River and Breaks
HIS Neck.

HIS Neck.
Ernest McDaniels, Il l3-year-old colored
boy who lived with his parents at 925
Wichita street, was drowned in the Little
Arkansas river at the Thirteenth street
bridge yesterday at IL o'clock.
He had been very weakly from the effects
of a recent severe attack of typhoid fever,
ana it Is supposed that exposure 10 the
sun IN the intense heat which prevailed
yesterday produced faintness or a vertigo
so that he tumbled from his seat on the
end of plank which projected beyond the
railing of the bridge about fifteen feet
above the water Three other little boys
were with him on the bridge and near by
who heard the splash As he struck the
water but did not see him as he fell, and
were too small, even il they had not been
too badly frightened, TO render any assiast-
ance. They Kan screaming for help, and "A
considerable crowd soon collected. A
young man named Page went into the
river and found the body. after 1t had
been immersed half an hour, in five feet OF
water, within few feet of where it had
fallen. Life was extinct, and the body
was taken to the HOUSE of the father,
George Mcdaniel. The coroner was noti-
fed but being engaged with the case of
Willard Stark, the murdered Waterman.
it was sometime before he arrived. There
being no doubt as to the Gauss and manner
OF death no inquest was held.
There was no formal investigation in
the case of Ernest McDaniels, but it was
found on more careful examination than
the unprofessiOnal one made by those who
first took charge of the body that the boys
neck was broken. Further. the compan-
ions of the drowned boy stated that his
hook had got caught and that he had been
leaning far over TO release it. II is now
thought that by his Juggling nc the fast
ened hook and his STOPPING position be be-
came Overbalsnced and so fell. 1t is the
opinion of the coroner that where he
actually struck, the water was not more
than eighteen to twenty-four inches deep.
Death having been caused by the verJebral
fracture it Is no longer strange that the
body did not once rise TO the surface.

large crop-he forever lives in dread
of being over-crappcd. From where |
write I can sec him plowing, and I
have counted ten times in the last
hour that he has turned down his
plowstock, sit down on it, pulled off
his shoe, beat it on the beam Of the
stock and then watches the dirt slowly
pour from it as he holds it up and tilts
it down. This is pretty good sign
that spring is near, but he has not his
summer grin yet, so We cant say just
how far off it is-thin "grin' of
Browns never fails as a sign that
spring is here.

Duel on Horseback.

" dl GluCS dllu az CH HOuAS hSiS oiAS
burden of conversation among half a
dozen veterans Of the civil war the
other day in Bowling Green, KY. A
writer in the Democrat tells the story.
II have read many stories, said
one of the old soldiers, "of individual
exhibitions of bravery during the war,
but witnessed duel between two
officers of high rank that had read it
I would have believed it the rcproduc-
tion of Imagination.
"During the early days Of the war,
said the old warrior, "the Federals,
who had already driven the Confcd
crates from southern Kentucky, were
much troubled down in Christian
county by Colonel Woodward, who,
I believe, lived near Lafayette, in that
county: A Major Brackctt-I think
he was from northern Ohio-undertook
to suppress Woodward, but met with
ignominious failure in his first at
tempt. He was deeply chagrincd, but
an opportunity finally came for him to
show that he was no coward.
CAT the head of a skirmishing party
he was quietly marching down the
road one day when suddenly he came
upon a similar party of Confcderates.
The unexpected meeting threw both
parties into confusion, and before
either had chance to form for a fight
Bracket ordered his men to remain
quiet and rode forward. 1t was re-
markablc course, and, I believe, with
out parallel in the history Of the war,
but he challenged the commanding
officer of the rebels to personal con-
hict.
"It happened that the Confederate
officer was Major Valentine, whose
home was in Memphis. He was one
Of Forests men, and had reputation
as a man Of aggressive personal dar-
ing. He was surprised at the unusual
challenge, but he Immediately. accept
ed, and the two officers, in plain view
Of their commands, galloped toward
each other with drawn sabers.
"They went at each other like
knights of old, and thrilling duel
followed. The horses turned, charged
and reared with wonderful rapidity.
The sabers Kissed viciously. Blood
was drawn on both sides. The officers
charged again. Bracket made saw
age cut at Valentine, who lodged.
''The officers charged again. The
Confederate officer made a backward
cut as he passed and the blade struck
Bracket square across the back Of the
neck. His neck dropped to one side,
he rceled and fell from his horse.
They picked him up, but he was
dead. The blow had broken his neck.
"He had proved his courage, but he
had died in the attempt. They buried
him by the roadside, and the two for
ces withdrew without firing a shot I
was with Valentines force, and l
never witnessed similar fight. and
hope never to do so.
