First Revolver Fight with Indians.

John Coffee Hays was reared on n farm
in Wilson county, Tenn, being born there
in 1917. At the age Of Is he migrated to
Texas, where, d1rin2 tho struggle Of that
Mexican province for independence, he
served with distinction in the military
campaign conducted by General Sam Hous
ton, being noted for his bravery and STRAIT
cgy. After the termination of that con
ilict Hays misplaced in command Of tho
small regular force that was shortly after
ward organized and became known to
fnmc as tho Texan Rangers. Many wcro
the desperate fights in which he was en-
gagged with tho fierce Comnnches and Dor
der Indians, and innumerablc were tho
pcrils which he encountered. He was tho
first to supply an armed force with Colt )
revolver and uSe 1t in battle
Tho Indian mode of warfare in those
early days was to draw their cncmy's fire
and then sweep down upon them like II
whirlwind, plying their bows and using
their long spears with deadly effect. So
cautious We're they In this respect that they
soon distinguished tho double barrcled gun
when It was brought into use, and only
approached when they were sure that such
weapons had been cmpticd, On the first
occasion when Hays and his rangers,
armed with tho revolver, met Il band on
tho warpath, they allowed their fire to be-
literally drawn, and then the Indians
charged with cxultant cries. But when
tho revolver was brought intoplay at close
quarters the panic that cnSucd was abso-
lutc and the destruction of the Indians
complete. Hays was colonel of tho First
Texan regiment, tho nucleus Of which was
formed of veteran rangers Denver Field

POOR HUMAN NATURE.

I'd liko to see one true and perfect man
Who never slipped In life's forbdding raca
Whose work has been according to tho plan
80 plainly mapped for fitting every case
Just one whose gentle footsteps never ran
Astray. I'd like to look in such q face
Aud homage pay In songs OF Jubilee
To human nature, good as II could be.
I've seen good people underneath the sun
Who did rs well as anybody could.
Some cheerful, glad and always full Of fun
And others sad and almost goody good.
But. man or woman not single one
Who always did ~ they exactly should
Some have one fault and some OF course an
other
The nearest perfect IL my good old mother.
One at the church IL always TO be found
Ready to speak the praises Of the Master,
His words with logic fearfully profound,
His object to avert Il worlds disaster,
Yet In the business martS he hustes round
And has perhaps on many homes plaster.
His heart pulsating for the Joys OF heaven
Only, exclusively, ono day in seven
] see another equally devout
But full Of vanity almost to scorniny.
He has some righteousness beyond doubt
Nor fears tho awful resurrection morning
But vanity he cannot live without
And thinks too much Of personal adjoining,
Against which fniling very much was said
BY Ono who had not whore to lay his head
Man hns been frail and weak and halt and
blind
And prone to 90 astray from tho beginning,
So much 40 II ~ very hard to find
One who has always struck pace that 4

The very best, according TO my mind.

And when one goes where grace cannot restore
him
III not condemn, but just focl sorry for him

DUEL IN The STREET.
A Deadly Fight Takes Place at
South Enid, Ok.
City Marshal and Register q. S.
Land Office Killed.
BEGAN IN A QUARREL.
Editor Of the Wave" Gets a
Bullet in the Face.

SoTTH ENID, Ok, June 27.-Two
men dead and one seriously wounded
is the record of a terrible tragedy that
was enacted on the streets of this town
last night. R. w. Patterson, register
of the United States land Office, and
CITY Marshal Williams are dead, with
bullet holes in their bodies, and J. L.
1zenberg, editor and proprietor of the
Daily Wave, is at his home with a
ragged furrosv made by aullet in the
side of his face. The fight grew out
of an article that Izenberg wrote and
published in yesterdays issue of the
Wave, criticising the acts of Register
Patterson.
After the paper had been circulated,
Patterson started for the Wave Office
to demand satisfaction. On the way
he met Izenberg and took him to task
for the article that had appeared
in the Wave. The men quarreled and
came to blows. City Marshal Will
liams ran to separate the men. Just
as he ran between them Register Pat
terson whipped out a revolver and
fired at lien berg. The bullet struck
lien berg in the corner of the left eye
and ran around the side of his face.
Patterson then turned the weapon
toward the city marshal and pulled
the trigger The bullet struck Will
Jams in the right lung. He then drew
a revolver and shot Patterson dead, a
bullet striking him squarely in the CEN
ter of the forehead. Williams was
taken to his home, where he died in a
short time.
Izenberg was also taken to his home,
where he now is.
The shooting created the widest ex-
element here. All three of the men
had many friends, and sides are being
taken by the citizens. Izenberg came
to Enid shortly after the opening, Sep
TENDER 16, 1895, and started the Daily
Wave. He is a fearless fighter, and
writes with pen dripping with worm
wood. He seldom spares and fage1-
lates his enemies mercilessly in season
and out of season. He was opposed to
Patterson primarily because he was
what was termed a 'Scarpet Dagger" by
the Kansas Democrats in the strip; he
was SOutherner, and had received
his appointment from Holze Smith.
The Wave is Democratic news
paper but it was not favored with the
land Office printing, and Izenberg at
tributed this fact to the Vaccinations
of Patterson.
Izenberg is one of the best known
newspaper uuSh III Oh1duOlud. SHOT lily
after the Strip opening he was assault
ed by Editor Whitaker of the North
Enid Tribune, who struck him when he
was not looking. Before he could re-
taliate crowd separated them.
Register Patterson was well liked.
He was brilliant public speaker, and
an enterprising, courageous man. He
leaves a wife and three little girls,
Marshal Williams leaves a wife and
one child.

Chancellor Shows Chinch Bug Infection
Works in Missouri.
SEDALTA, No, June 27.-Pettis county
farmers are jubilant over what they
claim is an infallible destroyer Of the
chinch bug. Farmers in this section, it
seems, have no faith in the infected
bugs sent out from the experiment sta
ton at Columbia. Mo. But recently
Thomas Calls, one of the prominent
farmers of Pet.is county, sent to Law
renee, Kan, for few specimens of the
fungus propagated by Professor W. G.
Stevens, director of the experiment sta
ton of the Kansas State University.
Mr.. Calls received through the mail a
small box containg three particles of the
fungus no larger than pin heads These
were put in box of moist earth, togeth-
er with about a quart of bugs and a
quantity of green oats for their food. On
the second morning all the bugs were
dead, and in the mass were numerous
particles of the fungus This was taken
by MIR. Calls to his cornfield, and minute
portions were rubbed on the stalks
where the bugs were mostly found
In three days wherever the infection
had been placed could be found millions
of bugs in heaps, all dead, and among
them was fresh fungus which they had
propagated. Mr.. Calls has entirely re
claimed his corn field, and could have
saved his wheat had it not been har-

Houses Arc Blown Down.

ELDoRADo SPRINGS, Mo-, June 27.-
This section was again visited by a
severe wind and rain storm last night.
The rain came in torrents and small
hail fell continually several hours.
The ground is already SO wet that
farmers have been unable to attend
their crops for days, and Indications
are favorable for more rain. Unless
dry weather comes soon the shocked
wheat which has been blown down
will mould and spoil. The wind storm
was terrific and many out-houses and
signs were blown down. One barn
was also badly torn up by the light
ming.

CAN'T KILL THE THISTLE.
The Russian Pest Taking the Country in
Western Kansas.

The Russian Pest Taking the Country in
Western Kansas.
ATWOOD, Kan, June 2z.-There will
be trouble in RawIins over the enforce
ment of the thistle law. The simple fact
is that there are not enough men in parts
of the county to kill the weed if every
one worked at it the balance of the sum-
mer. The third commissioner district,
for illustration, has residents on little
less than one-third of the land. The
Russian thistle is everywhere.
Suppose the law should be complied
with, the commissioners give notice that
unless all thistles were destroyed before
a certain date the several road overseers
would be ordered to take the matter in
hand and charge the cost against the
land. The county pays cash for the
work and waits for the taxes. Thousands
of dollars would thus be paid out and
not cent received. How long could we
stand it?

the beauties of Italy or excel in SPLEEN

it would profit them to visit the Man

He added that he would venture to say
this to the delegates from the United

half the railway mileage of the world.
