Atkins had accuesd him (Bailey) of stealing the spade. They met soon aft erwards and the quarrel was resumed, both men drawing their weapons about the same time and firing. Bailey was shot six times and died in a few minutes. Atkins was not hurt, though his horse was shot from un- der him.

 RECOMMEND THE
 BILLS PASSAGE Antitrust Law May Be Adopted By Texas. THE FIGHT WILL BE BITTER The Insurance Men Already at Work and the Legislators Are Being Flooded With Telegrams Protest
 ing Against It.
THE FIGHT WILL BE BITTER

Austin, Tex, April 2O.-The special com ings to parties interested in the Arkansas antitrust bill now pending in the Texas legislature, today made their report to the senate recommending that the bill be pass ed without any amendments at all save one to provide that the bill shall not became operative until January l. 1900. The com mittee states that representatives of the labor unions of the state ask that they be exempted from the provisions of the bin by amendments, but as the bill does not touch them, in the opinion of the commit tee, 1t is suggested that no amendment be added to tine bill. In this particular the house committee report dissents in that it recommends that an amendment accepting the labor union be accepted. The house also Jacks on an amendment providing that no insurance company pooling in another state in the union and doing business in this state shall be held responsible for the pool without the state. This is where the strong nght Will come over the passage of the bill. A majority of the house opposed to this amendment and the probabilities are that the bill will pass without it.
 The senate created somewhat of a sensa- tton today and incurred an interesting de- bate over a proposition to appoint a com mttee to investigate who is paying tolls for the thousands of telegrams the mem- bers were deluged with. The statement was made on the floor of the senate that the fire insurance companies were spending thousands of dollars in their efforts to in- timidate legislation on this subject, and they were responsible for all this tele- graphing, Some of the members were of the opinion that other trusts were behind the opposition to the bill as well as the fire insprance people.
 The tide seems to have turned in favor of the antitrust bill today and some peti- tions are being received asking for its passage. No discussion will be held before Monday.

the teller named the hour and place at
which his confederates were to meet him
Before leaving the bank he took from the
vault $4,000 in currency. At the rendsz-
vous he showed his package Of large bills
and demanded that the sharpers also make
proof that they had kept the agreement
They placed in his hands a package COM
tanning $1,000 and told him to count it.
This he did, and as he finished, he SUDDENLY
drew from his pocket a 45-calibre revolver
and covered his friends with it.
Then he told them that their good sense
would make clear to them the desperate
ness of his situation and help them to real
ize that he would naturally prefer to kill
one or both of them. or to himself die
lighting rather than face the shame of a
public disclosure of his entertainments.
They saw the logic of this reasoning and
held their hands in the air while he threw
back to them from their bundle of bills
the surplus of 5000 above the $4,000 which
he had at first stolen and lost into their
hands. This done, he once more warned
them that If they stirred he would kill
them without hesitation. Next. he put
the $50. coo in his oyercoat pocket and re-
treated to the bank, replacing in the vault
every dollar he had ever stolen from first
to last. The next day he resigned and the
officers of the bank were informed of his
courageous caup as well as of his dishon-
esty at the start. Later he elsewhere Sc
cured clerkship and worked steadily for
ward, never again being tempted by the
influence that pulls down thousands of
bright and ambitious young men. To-day
he is a very successful and thoroughly re-
spected business man in the very city in
which he had his narrow escape from the
final penalties of the gambling mania.'

THE DEFAULTER GOT THE MONEY.
Detective Pinkerton Tells of the Only
Case in Which Dishonest Teller Had


Courage Enough to Recover Himself.
William A. Plnkerton, head of the largest
private detective agency, and reputed TO
be one of the shrewdest analysts of human
character this country has ever known,
speaks from a novel and interesting view
point of his observations on the most con-
spicuous causes which operate to poison
the careers OF young men with the virus
of failure.
VANITY and the gambling instinct says
Mr. Pinkerton in the Philadelphia Sat
urday Evening POST ''are responsible for
more wrecked careers than even the min
listers of the gospel ana the professional
crusaders would lead the public to be-
lieve These two cases often, if not gem
orally, take the same methods to accom-
plish their disastrous results. Almost the
only instance in which a man once well
started on this track had the moral force
to recover himself is one Of the most dra-
matte episodes that l ever encountered in
professional life that has broughtto light
a tedious succession ow melodramatic at
fairs. This exceptional incident is of par
ticular significance, as it indicates that a
man who is made of the s,uf that sue
ceeds may pull himself out Of the most
desperate and hopeless situation.
THE young man Of whom I speak was
the teller of a large bank in one of the
principal cities of this country. BY chance
he made the acquaintance CT sharpers who
induced him to put $3.50 into a sure thing.
If he had lost it he would probably been
honest for life. But he nibbled along until
he had sunk $1,000 of the banks money.
Then his associates convinced him that by
en- rpA, Of ba ho @
would surely win that amount and thus
be able to restore the previous shortage
and break even.' He took the money and
the risk-and lost! Then the sharpers had
the sublime audacity to propose another
