Before 1 knew what had happened
De Mores had drawn his long. barrelled
French revolver from his belt and
pulled the trigger. The Winchester
dropped out of Morris's hands. He
had been shot through both wrists. The
other cowboy was then on De Mores's
flank. AS soon as he saw him pull his
gun he grabbed his rifle, but hadn
time to raise it before the marquis fred
second time, just as his broncho gave
q lunge and buck. The man tumbled
off with bullet in his shoulder. De
Mores then rolled another cigarette,
lighted it and continued the conversa-
tion."
The marquis despite the fact that he
married the daughter of q Jewish bank.
er, was a pronounced anti-Semite and
close friend of M. Drumont, of the
Libre Parole. He was noted duelist
and killed Captain Mayer on the field
of honor. Almost as strong as his ha-
tired of the Jews was his hatred of the
English, and the excursion into Africa
which cost him his lie was undertaken
in the hope of organizing an effective
resistance to the Soudan expedition on
the part of the natives of the interior.

MARQUIS DE MORES.

A dispatch fromIunlS says: The news
of the massacre of Marquis de Mores
and his expedition is confirmed. The
marquis, on June s, left Eloutin, Tri-
politan village north of Ghadamas, to
which town he was journeying with
eight companions, consisting of Tuni.
slams and Algerians, in addition to an
escort of Touaregs aud Schambas,
whom he on the previous day, had arm
ed with carbines. When about three
kilometres from Eloutia the escorts of
Touregs attacked the Marquis de Mores
and four Of his companions, who were
in advance Of the baggage convoy. The
marquis defended himself with his re-
volver, but eventually succumbed. The
four Tunisians, who were escorting the
baggage convoy, were made prisoners
by the Touaregs, but were unable to
effect their escape until next day. One
of them, Ali Ben Zuerill, took the direc-
ton of Tunis, and on passing the spot
where the fight had taken place, recog-
nized the five bodies, which were COM
pletely stripped of clothing and were
covered with wounds"
The career of the Marquis de Mores
was most exciting one. He was born
in Paris on June IA, 1858. In 1876 he
entered the French Military Academy
of st. Cyr, and when he graduated
therefrom, in 1878, was commissioned q
second lieutenant of the First
Cuirassiers. He came to New York
about 1880, in the interests of an
immense scheme, which he after
wards put into execution. He pur-
chased $4,000 acre tract in the Bad
Lands, in western Dakota, and went
into the stock business extensively.
He established farm, which he called
Medora, after his wife. While at Me.
dora the marquis had much trouble
with cattle thieves, upon whom he
| waged an active warfare. No less
| than eighteen attempts were made on
his life. On June 26, 1883, he and one
of his men had fight with a band of cat
tie thieves. The marquis killed Will
liam Lufley, alias Luftus Retley. He
was arrested, but was promptly acquit-
Ted.
The following characteristic story is
told of his experience among the cow
boys: "a couple of cowboys" says
the narrator, "were whooping and
bowling in front of the shanty when
the marquis rode up. One of them be-
gan to guy the marquis on his horse
manship. Finding he couldn't be pro-
voked in that way the cowboy, nick
named Broad Back Morris, because OF
his unusually broad shoulders, mount
ed his pony, and with dig of his
spurs, began to show the Frenchman
how to ride. His companion followed
his example, and in couple OF min
utes they were circling around the
marquis, firing off their Winchesters
and using the most insulting language.
Whether the marquis didn't under
staud what they meant, don't know;
at all events he rolled cigarette, and
lighted it,"
"'Drop that, you tenderfoot = roared
| Morris, pulling up his mustang with q
Jerk; drop that or I'll clip it out OF your
mouth AT the same time he lifted his
| Winchester.
"De Mores turned half way in his
saddle. took deep inspiration and blew
out a cloud of smoke. As it cleared
away the cowboy took deliberate aim
and fred. The cigarette was sent fy'
ing fragments.
