ON FIELD OF HONOR.
Bloody Duel With Pistols Fought Near
Chicago---A Woman in II.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Bailey Norris of
Wyoming and George n. Sangers of Mon
tana, fought duel this morning at Sum-
nit, twenty miles out of Chicago. Sangers
was shot through the left shoulder, while
bullet from his revolver plowed furrow
through the right cheek OF Norris. The
men have been enemies for some time be-
cause of their mutual admiration for a
woman of Bozeman, Montana. Yesterday
they met at the stock yards where they
both had arrived with cattle, and fight
followed in which revolvers were drawn,
but no shots were fired. Friends sepa-
rated them, however, and it was arranged
to fight the matter out in some quiet
place.
Early this morning the two men with
two friends went out TO Summit, on the
Chicago and Alton road, aud finding a
lonely spot near the drainage canal pre-
pared to fight at fifteen PAGES with re-
volvers. At the word fire" the pistols
rang out and Norris was shot in the face.
AT the second shot Sangers got it through
the shoulder and although both men
were anxious to keep on, the fight was
stopped and the quarrel patched up.
Both men left for st. Paul today.

to kite-fying, an amusement which
they contrive to enjoy with minimum
of bodily exertion. Their method of
operations is very simple. Says Mr..
Cunning:
You pare down two twelve-inch slips
OF bamboo, tie them at their centers
crosswise. run a thread round the four
tips, and paste upon this frame one
thickness of paper. Tie a nail or a
small screw-nut TO one corner and
your kite is made.
The altitude which a well-made kite
of this kind viii reach is wonderful,
and the lightest breath of wind will
take il up. A hundred and fifty or two
hundred yards of strong sewing thread,
wound on q skeleton reel of four inches
in diameter and eight inches in length,
completes the equipment
Then, having started the kite by
process of gentle playing, you squat
down in the middle of the street, so as
to keep you- thread clear OF the
houses, and let the kite help itself
If you have fastened the thread with
cunning, the kite rises almost perpen-
dicularly, bringing you JOY ia the envy
and admiration of those who cannot
make a sleeper angie than forty de-

the thread, you sit and contemplate il
poised still and clear in the upper air
for few hours.

Acrimonious Discussion in the Miners

COLUMBUS, OHIO. June 19.-The state
convention of miners called by President
Adams, met today with about sixty dele
gates present. The committees were ap-
pointed and the conven ton then took a
recess There is some bitterness manifest
ed, mostly by men from Giouster, on the
Toledo & Ohio Central railroad. There
is also tie conservative element What
effect these tIyo will have upon each other
remains TO be developed.
The afternoon session was devoted
wholly to talk After District President
Adams and Secretary Pearce had ex-
planned the objects of the convention,
President Mcbride made an explanation.
He said Adams was an unsafe leader and
the miners of Ohio would realize it fully
in three months. Adams might be sane
on some things, but Mcbride stated he
was insane on mining questions.
Adams followed with very heated and
personal reply. 1t was openly charged in
the convention that the national officers
had been in collision with the operators
and had sold cut to them.
The convention adjourned until tomor-
row without action but the delegates are
in favor of returning 10 work as. they say,
it Is the only course opened TO them.
