be nothing. One thing he never
enters into largely-that is planting
large orop-he forever lives in dread
of being over-crapped. From where I
write I can see 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 can't say just
how far of it is-thin "grin'' Of
Browns never fails as a sign that
spring is here.
Many people in our settlement have
been erecting ''castles' on the strength
that great exposition was to be in
Atlanta. If these "castles' should
have to tumble we shall feel sorry, for
we know how it is ourselves. We
shall hope that the building of the ex.
position will be accomplished and
happy in the thought Of again seeing
dogwood blossoms and honeysuckles
in bloom. SARGE PLUNKETT.

Dnel on Horseback.

War times and adventure were the
burden of conversation among half q
dozen veterans of the civil war the
other day in Bowling Green, Ky. A
writer in the Democrat tells the story.
"I have read many stories," said
one Of the old soldiers, "of individual
exhibitions of bravery during the war,
but I witnessed duel between two
officers of high rank that had read it
I would have believed it the reproduc-
tion of Imagination.
sDuring the early days of the war,
said the old warrior, ''the Federals,
who had already driven the Confed-
crates from southern Kentucky, were
much troubled down in Christian
county by Colonel Woodward, who,
/ believe, lived near Lafayette, in that
county: A Major Brackett-I think
he was from northern Ohio-undertook
to suppress Woodward, but met with
ignominious failure in his first at
tempt. He was deeply chagrined, but
an opportunity finally came for him to
show that he was no coward.
CAT tbs head of a skirmishing party
he was quietly marching down the
road one day when suddenly he came
upon similar party of Confederates.
The unexpected meeting threw both
parties into confusion, and before
either had chance to form for fight
Bracket ordered his men to remain
quiet and rode forward. It was re-
markable course, and, believe, with
out parallel in the history Of the war,
but he challenged the commanding
officer of the rebels to personal con-
Aict.
"It happened that the Confederate
officer was Major Valentine, whose
home was in Memphis. He was one
Of Forests men, and had reputation
as 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 backward
cut as he passed and the blade struck
Bracket square across the back Of the
neck. His neck dropped to one side,
he reeled and fell from his horse.
They picked him up, but he was
dead. The blow had broken his neck.
'.sHe 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 shot. I
was with Valentines force, and I
never witnessed similar fight. and
hope never to do so.

TWO HELD FOR MURDER.
Desperate Shooting ARRAY on a
Farm Fifteen Miles from
RIchlant Center

RICHLAND CENTER, Wis, May At a
hearing before Justice Curtis this morn
ing Charles and Fred Hodges, charged
with the murder of Stephen Schmitz,
were committed to Jail to await pre-
hmlnary examination on MAY -.
The tragedy occurred Saturday even
ing at Bear Creek, about fifteen miles
from here, and was the result of an old
feud. SChmitZ was shot dead and Jerry
DedeTiCh lies in a battered condition
with a badly pounded head and an arm
shot through.
Charles and Fred Hodges, the young
men under arrest, claim that John Sui
lvan, a farmer at whose home the
trouble occurred, has at various times
sIandered their sister, and late Satur
dav night Justice Dorgan issued a war
rant for Sullivan's arrest and dcputiZcd
the two Hodges to serve the same.
They found Sullivan at home, together
with his wife and son; SchmltZ, Deder-
lch and one or two others, where the
men had a key of beer, and were play
ing cards.
With drawn revolyers the Hodges
boys entered the room and told Nulli-
van they were after him. He started
out the back door. and they commenced
firing. After five shots they lett by the
same door, and were followed into the
yard by SchmjtZ and Dederich. There
many shots were fired bv the Hodges
boys, Schmitz receiving one bail in his
right breast, which passed through the
lung, and from hich he died in short
time

sible, promising them provisions if
they did SO. If they refused they
were to be guartered in the
fair grounds and ousted as soon
as possible. The Sullivan army
