DESPERATE DUEL
 WITH PISTOLS Two Negroes Engage in a Bat
 tie Royal. THEY WERE BITTER RIVALS Both Sought the Hand of a Dusky DamseI and Decided to Shoot it Out Officers Ham, ilton and Johnston Appeared
 Upon the Scene.
THEY WERE BITTER RIVALS

Luke Hill and Ed Wallee, rivals for the hand of Bulah Coleman, a dusky da celebrated the Glorious Fourth vest in demonstration which, if not patr osic. was at least not lacking in a plentiful dis charge of powder and balls.
 It is said that the two men met by chance about 12 o'clock at the home of the woman. near Eighteenth street and Tenth avenue, and became enga ged in a quarrel. The argumnt soon became heated and in a few moments both men were facing each other with 4-caliber pistols waiting for the blink of an eye.
 They evidently blinked, for 1t was not long until a fusilade of bullets filled the air in that vicinity, five shots being fired by one of them and four by the other. Miraculous to state, neither of the negroes were struck by a bullet, but when the pis- tols had been emptied they ran into one another and a terrible hand-to-hand en- counter followed, in which Wallace was struck in the forehead with the butt of pistol which inflicted a long cut reaching to the skull.
 In the meantime police headquarters had been notified of the shooting, and mounted Officers Hamilton and Johnston hurried at full speed to the scene of the difficulty, where a large crowd had assembled, and placed the two men under arrest on the charge of assault with intent to murder. Bulah Coleman was also arrested on the charge of being an accessory. It is claim ed that she stood in the door of her house and in plain and unmistakable terms urged IT7ll to kill his opponent. The trio were taken to the city prison where Wa,ace's wounds were dressed by. Assistant City Physician Mason.

ARRESTED IN JAIL.
Lizzie Coleman. Negro Woman, Attacked a
 Prisoner.

lizzie Coleman a negro woman who has often figured in the police court proceed
 ngs, was yesterday arrested by Day War den Walton, of the city prison, for fighting in the jail. Lizzie was not prisoner at the time of the affray, but had applea TOT admission to the prison on the pretext of getting some articles which she had left during her last sojourn.
 officer Walton allowed her to go in, but instead of searching for her alleged belong ings. she sought Pearl O'Brien, who Is serv- ing sentence in the prison, and proceeded to administer a sound thrashing, which was only prevented by the timely arrival of Officer Walton, who separated the women and put Lizzie into cell. The fight was the result of an old score, at the bottom of which jealousy played prominent part. Lizzie took advantage of her rivals incar- ceration, and by strategy succeeded in gain ing admission to the jail where she at. tackled her unawares.

the fowls will not be able to eat all
the grass that grows on it. There is
no economy in restricting the range
and feeding grain. Grass is one of the
cheapest feeds that can be fed.
Just how large the range should be
will depend on many things. One OF
these is the richness of the soil and the
luxuriance of the growth OF grass on
it. We have seen new lands that had
just been redeemed from scrub oak
forest where the soil was so thin that
small flock Of fowls would in few
weeks completely denude of grass a
large yard. But if the land has been
cultivated and has a good blue grass
sod on it, and is in thriving condition,

WHY HE DIDN'T GO.
Does Survival of the Fittest Mean
 Courage or Fear?

He was big strappins strong look ing individual, and had every appear ance of man who could and would if necessary fight like Turk. There was a thoughtful expression on his countenance as he stood on the curb stone looking after the last file of men in the procession of departures Saturday night. Thinking that per- haps he was one of the non-accepted ones, the reporter said to him, Never mind, my man; you may draw prize next time."
 Looking the reporter squarely in the eyes he said, Prize! Do you think 1t prize, the privilege of leaving home, father, mother, wife and chill dren to take the risk of 999 to 1 of get ting macheted by some devil of a Spaniard? Or the risk of 568 to of taking into your system as a perma- nent boarder the bacillus of yellow fever?"
 The reporter thought of several schemes by means of any one of which he might be able to withdraw from the debate, but none seemed feasible and the man continued:
 'sThis thing appeals to me in several ways. When my country needs and calls for me feel sure, without doubi or hesitation I shall respond to that need and call. And so will every man know. And do not know a woman in Arizona who would not tell hel son or husband to go out at once ant go quickly. Love, affection, fila duty or dependence are all secondary considerations under such circum stances. But when there is no need and there has been no call for me, and in order to go I must not only have

the desire, but the influence of those high up on the official ladder, and must say that 1 am a cowboy and can shoot like Daniel Boone or Dr. Carver from the back of fiery and untamed steed, firing off my gun with one hand while leaning out of the saddle and picking up pin from the ground with the other, while all the time I know that never did CT tried to do any thing of the kind, why, I say, I pre- fer to be truthful enough and cour- ageous enough to stay at home and watch the little game go on.
 'I have heard a heap about courage, and if it is like it has always been described I know I haven't got it. A man told me once that he heard Gen eral Sherman say that when he went into his first battle he was so full of fear that it was with great difficulty he could keep from turning and run ming to the rear. And that he never went into battle afterwards without feeling strongly the same way. But the world knows that he did not turn, and it was, as he said, because he was afraid to show his fear. Now I believe in that kind Of courage, and I believe I am built that way. Unin- vited, am afraid to entertain the de- sire to go. If called I should go, but I should be filled with fear just the same I should never be sherman or Sheridan, or a Fitzpatrick or Kearney, but I should be too much of a coward, I believe, to run away from the fighting.
 "The kind of a man I am believes in himself a good deal. and is more than apt to size himself up against his fellows in such way as to cause the scales to down in his favor. Some folks call this conceit or egotism. Maybe it is, but like it all the same. I heard a fellow lecture once and his subject came into my mind just now as I watched these noble young men march gleefully along Washington street headed for Cuba with hard ships, sickness, wounds and death straight before them. The subject was The Survival of the Fittest,' and while I do not say that am any filter to survive than any of these departing ones, do believe that an inscrutable l mover of all things has ordained it that there is a good reason for my remaining at home to take care of the old folks, to keep my wife's heart young and free from aches and misery and to teach my boys how to live that the world may be better in every way because they have lived.
 'It may be, as you say, that the in- scrutable had something to do with the desire of these boys to go to the war. I am not complaining at all about it. I am content and satisfied that they should go, only hoping that none of them have left breaking hearts behind them. No one will applaud them louder than I dol No one will welcome their return with more heart and feeling than I will. I only hope for the survival of the f1ttesr of them and not being In demand for risks shall continue to survive and con- tinue to feel that am fit to and ought
 to survive, and surviving, sir, is all the prize I am asking for today"
 The fire bell started ringing, whicf gave the reporter an opportunity te
 escape at this juncture and the paper
 man was not slow to take advantage of it.
