That was remarkable story in the
Wichita Beacon of the 9th, about duel
in Beaver county. The story runs as
follows:
"a gambler named Bassett had a
quarrel with ranchman George Weaver
over a poker game, in which the latter
accused the former of cheating. Both
men drew their pistols, but bystanders
interferred before they had chance to
use them. The men were game and both
dead shots. and it was decided that a
duel was the only thing that would set
tie the trouble, which was sure to be re-
newed whenever they met,
The ordinary dueiing code did not
satisfy them, however, and they entered
into peculiar agreement. BY the terms
of this they were both to withdraw from
the room and their friends were to load
one revolver. then spread a blanket over
the table, and place under it the loaded
revolver and the empty one,
"The men then came into the room
and tossed dollar for choice of sides of
the table on which to stand and draw a
revolver from under the cloth, Weaver
getting the choice, AT the signal each
man was to draw his revolver from uns
der the blanket, aim and fire at once.
The positions were taken and the revol-
vers drawn, each man knowing that il
his revolver proved to be the empty one
there was no chance of escaping certain
death at the hands of his opponent.
"Bassett fired first, or at least, he was
first to snap his gun, but it failed to re-
spond, showing that he had drawn the
unloaded weapon. Without fiinchine
he dropped his revolver on the table,
and, folding his arms, calmly Looked
| Weaver in the face, waiting for him to
| fire.
Weaver took his time and deliberate
ly and coolly aimed at the ceAter of Bas-
setts forehead. After waiting what
| seemed to be an eternity TO the doomed
man and others in the room, he slowly
raised his revolver and fired the bal
through the ceiling saying as he ex'
tended his hand across the table, tha
Bassett was too brave man TO be shot
down like that, and that furthermore he
did not now believe that he had cheated
and wanted to apologize for so charging
him. With that clasp of hands the two
men became warm friends, and have re
mained SO to this day, being at the
present time partners in the cattle
business"
This stery seemed so remarkable that
we interviewed several old cowmen In
regard to IT. among others George
Healy. None of them had ever hearc
of it, and Healy simply wrote on, th'
paper, "This is lie."

Rubber Poker Ching.

The click of chips is no longer
heard in some of the rooms where
poker used to be played.
But this doesn't mean that they
have stopped playing poker. Oh,
no. The click of chips need no lon
ger be heard, whether poker is being
played or not. An inventive genius,
who knows how difficult it is some
times to play poker on the quiet
when one wants to, has invented
rubber poker chips. They are the
same size as those of bone, celluloid
or. ivory, and like the others are col
ored red and blue as well as the nat
ural color of the rubber, which an
swers for white. The colors are not
very well defined, for rubber doesn' t
seem to take the colors easily and
seems to be difficult to dye. But the
colors are distinct enough to avoid
the possibility of a man anteing a
blue chip when a white is the ante
or sweetening a jackpot by blue
when a red is all that is needed.
The dealers who handle the rub
Der poker chips say they are very
popular, and that a great many of
them have been sold. They make
absolutely no noise when they are
used. The only trouble is, however,
that the man who has acquired the
habit, which requires much costly
experience, of shutting his chips
asbentmindedly with one hand has
to learn the trick anew, for chips
are apt to stick to each other and
prevent the accomplishment of the
trick. Chicago Times-Herald.

A son OF DIAz SPEAKS.
He Is Now In New York on His Way to

NEW YORK. Sept. 27,-Among the
passengers who arrived on the French
line steamer la Champagne from
Havre was Captain Porhrio Diaz. only
son of President Diaz of Mexico.
Captain Diaz has been for the last
year studying engineering with the firm
Of Sir Westman Pearson & Son of Lon
don He is now on his way TO the city
Of Mexico TO resume his military stud
les. He is already a staff captain and
captain in the military engineers, the
two highest branches of the Mexican
army.
Captain Diaz said that he had re-
ceived a cablegram in London from his
father acquainting him with the recent
attempt to assassinate the latter by Ar
royo. who was later lynched by con-
nlvance Of the police authorities Of the
City Of Mexico. Young Dlaz said his
father attached not the least impor-
tanae to the attempt on his life ana be-
lieved that Arroyo was simply crazed
with drink.
The rumored belief by the Mexican
police authorities that the man was
delegated by a society of anarchists of
which he was n member 10 kin the
president young Dlaz characterizes as
absurd.
