A strange, weird story has been circu.

power and of using it in queer ways
Anna Emile Babst, daughter of a

were patiently watching in the hope of OBJ

were patiently watching in the hope of OBJ
tanning some advantage.
One morning just after breaking camp
in the region of country where the city
of Fort Worth has since been built, they
were very much surprised to find the In
dams drawn ND in line of battle along the
crest of low range of hills 1t was evi-
dent to the most inexperienced recruit
that it would have been madness to at
tack them for the Indians were swarming
over the hills like black birds
In this emergency Long John rode
forward between the two lines and signaled
for parley The Texans soon afterward
saw big chief, glittering with bright Or
naments and proudly swayng under q
panoply of gaudily colored plumes, gallop
into the valley and circle around the oar
ing Texan, threateningly brandishing a
glittering spear.
This chief was Fire King. one of the
most fearless and warlike savuges that
ever fought the people of the frontier.
"Long John" challenged him to conf
bat, and the chief promptly announced his
Willingness to abide by the result of the
battle between himself and Straight Talk.
The terms were soon arranged, and the
two warriors rode back to their respective
commands TO make their comrades ac
quainted with the stipulations of the car
tel
The combatants rode at each other in a
swift gallop. The Indian circled around
his enemy and raised a loud warwhoop
as Long John" dropped over on the side
of his horse to escape the shower of arrows
that were falling about him.. One of these
wounded him in the thigh, but he' was
perfectly familiar with the tactics of his
antagonist, and when favorable mo
ment arrived he fired under the neck of
his horse and sent a ball crashing through
Fire Kings shoulder
The Indians right arm dropped help
lessly by his side, and Long john rode
straight at him in furious gallop with
yell of triumph The Indian accepted
this bold maneuver, and when the two
horses met both rolled in the dust. "Long
john was the first to regain his feet, and
he threw his bowie at Fire King and
drove it to the hilt in his breast. The In
dian signaled that he had received his
death wound, and, slowly staggering to
his feet, he steadied himself against lit
tie tree and in low, weird tones began to
chant the Comanche death wall
The Indians, who had been anXiously
watching the combat, knew what haa
happened, and they all joined in the
mournful wall. Five young warriors
came into the valley and stood about their
adored chief, tenderly supporting him in
their arms until he sank on the grass in a
pool of blood Long John mounted his
horse, and. after courtly saluting the
young warriors, who were preparing to
bear away the body of the brave chief, he
rode back to the line OF Texans.
While the boys were grasping his hands
and making him blush under shower of
compliments a deputation of Indians
drove band of stolen horses and cattle
into the valley and LETT them there in
charge of some 10 or Is captives whom
they released in accordance with the or
ders that had been given by their chief be-
fore he rode so gayly ont to fight his last
duel
