from the trees, and the man fell to
the ground and lay there. The team

THE young man promised to be

he was. The inquest on the two men
took just twenty minutes from start

the verdict rendered. Then all hands
took drink. Peale gave the coroner
$50 to pay for buryins the men. and
the proceedings were closed.
Farmer Peale died with his boots

killing" said James Marber. a Nevada
pioneer. in speaking of early days on
the ComstCck lode. He was a cool,
polite, carefully speaking, determined
man. as thin as rail and brave as n
lion. His thinness was of advantage
to him in his shooting matches, for
even a good marksman may miss u
slim man logged out in loose clothes
which hide the outline of his figure
He had an uncommon fashion OF al
lowing his opponent to have the first
shot. and then plugging him before he
could fire second. This may have
come from the deliberation with which
he aimed. for when the other man
missed. as most always he did, Farmer
.Peale didn't. and the fight ended with
funeral that wasn't his.
Il was there when he killed Much
ach. n bad little Mexican, who quarrel
ID with him at the faro table. 1t was
si5Teed between them that, not to dis
tOrb the game. they should 20 out on
the street to settle their difficulty As
soon as they got to the street Muchach
jumped behind one of the posts that
held up the awning above the side
walk and turned loose with his pistol,
lodging his head to left and right as
he fired to avoid Peale's return shots.
Farmer Peale fired as coolly and care
fully as II 1t were target practice and
not duel to the death that he was
mixed up in. and his third shot killed
Muchach. Peale was not hit.
