One of Masterson'S most notable
achievements occurred one night early
in the spring OF 1877. A party of six
Texas cowboys rode into Dodge City
and boldly announced they were wolves,
and that it YVES their especial night for
bowling. Then they proceeded to
howl. They mounted their broncos and
ranted up and down the streets, shoot,
ing and yelling. They drank bad whis-
ky and showed utter disregard for the
law. This became monotonous after a
while, and they grew tired of it. Then
they rode up in front of a dance house,
dismounted and prepared to hold wild
wassail Marshal Masterson, the broth
er of Bat, who was himself pretty fair
shooter, and had clipped three or four
notches on his gun-stock, requested the
desperadoes to leave their arms on the
outside before they entered the dance
hall. This was in strict accordance
with the law. They did not say a word.
They killed him on the spot.
An hour later Bat heard of it. He
walked quietly down to the dance hail.

dred Indians. The buffalo hunters
knew them well, for they had fought
them many times before, They were
composed of Cheyennes, Arrapahoes,
Comanches and Kiowas, as blood
thirsty combination as one would
caro- to meet They were painted black
and red and yellow, and were the star
fighters of their respective tribes.
A DDPERATE INDIAN FIGHT.
In an instant the hunters jumped to
their feet, and instead of being the
surDrisers the Indians were the sur
prised. They were met with shower
of lead that caused several of them to
bite the dust. They charged again
and again, but could never reach the
walls of that adobe saloon where Mas
terson and the hunters were intrench-
ed. For fifteen days the Indians kept
ND the battle. They were under the
lead of a gigantic negro, a deserter Of
the United States army. He had been
a bugler, and in every charge against
the wall the blare Of his brass trumpet
could be heard The Indians followed
this negro in all their charges.
On the thirteenth DAY matters began
TO look very serious. Provisions were
getting short and wells we're dug in
side the buildings to get a supply Of
water. AS time passed the Indians,
headed by the big negro, seemed to
fight harder and with more confidence
In conference held by the hunters it
was agreed that the only way the IN
dams could be driven off was to kill
the negro desperate. All efforts in that
direction failed. The negro was too
cunning to show himself or to court the
bullets that he knew awaited him. At
last the youthful Masterson made up
his mind that he would take hand at
negro killing.

The first practical underground con-
duit railway in this country is now in
operation in New York City, connected
to the great cable-traction system OF the
Metropolitan Traction Company. The
public can now travel from the Battery
to 146th street with one transfer, from
the cable car to the electric car, at West
10Sth street.
The system differs radically from all
other systems of electric underground
Of the conduit itself and the method
of taking the current from the conduc-
tors for the motors.
The power is supplied from ESQ horse
power Allis-Corliss machines. To each
of the engines is coupled a General
Electric 400 X. w. dynamo of standard
construction, but wound for $50 volts
instead of 500 volts, as is the usual
practice in railway work This ma
chine IS placed between the high and
low pressure sides of the engine.
From the generators the cable runs
to the switchboard and thence to
subway under the sidewalk on 146th
street, extending as far as LenoX ave
nue., where they are introduced into
the five-inch iron pipes running parallel
with the conduit.
The construction of the underground
contact system is simplicity itself. The
plough suspended from the car truck
passed through the slot in the center of
the track and presses against the fiat
surfaces of two iron conductors running
the entire length of the conduit. These
conductors are placed each three inches
on each side away from the center OF
the slot to avoid deleterious effects of
any drips which would otherwise reach
| them, and are of channel iron four in
! ches deep and thirty feet long. They
are suspended from the ceiling of the
conduits by means Of insulators de-
yised for this especial purpose, and are
at a depth of thirteen inches below
! the conduit slot. Each conductor is
sufficiently rigid to require suspension
at the ends and centres only. The ends
are located in the manholes and hand
holes are placed at the centres, inspec-

which the insulators are placed are con-
structed of brick with walls that rest
on concrete foundations. The floors are
laid with inches of concrete and are
provided with drains for carrying of
water. With this provision for drain
age no trouble from water in the con-
duit will. it is believed, be experienced.
The conduit was built along the grade
of the street, but with sufficient pitch
TO permit any water flowing into the
conduit TO find its way into the man
holes. located every 80 feet, and from
thence into the sewers.
The current does not return by means
of the rails as is usually the case with
the overhead trolley. This IS a dis
tinct feature and advantage Of the new
system. Each conductor forms one side
of the working circuit. The current
is fed into the positive conductor and
returns over the other or negative con-
ductor. The current merely rises on
one side of the plough, passes through
the controllers into the motors and after
performing it's duty returns by the other
side to the opposite or negative con-
ductor.
The plough or travelling contact ar
rangement is an essential novelty. It
consists OF two pieces Of iron, one on
each side of the plough, supported on
spring leaves. which cause them to
press outwardly against the two con-
ductcss. The plough is suspended from
a longitudinal bar bolted 10 cross
beams set upon the track, and is con-
structed Of two sheets Of steel laid each
one upon a plate Of fibre. The two
sheets of fibre are then brought togeth-

ton and repair are thus rendered COM
paratively easy.
A modification of this system Of sus-
pension of the conductors is introduced
for a length of about one hundred
yards of single track on 10th street, be-
tween Lenox and Seventh avenues. At
the manholes, instead Of insulators sus-
pended from the ceiling Of the conduit,
the conductors are supported by soap
stone pillar, provided with an iron cap
furnished with brackets. to which the
conductors are bOlted, and continuous
connection is secured by means OF a
bond Of fat copper strips riveted to the
webs. The soapstone blocks are set IN
iron bases erected in the manholes.
Every twelfth manhole IS connected
with the power house by telephone.
Quick break electric switches are To-
Gated at intervals in these manholes'
in order that any section of the line
may be cut out in case of trouble or acct
dent. At the track switches each con-
ductor is provided with a fiaring nose
to facilitate the entrance of the plough
into the conductors. The manholes IN
