WILD BILLS FIRST BATTLE.
Story Of the Most Remarkable Con
ffct In Border Annals.

Forty years ago, in December, ten
men on bay horses galloped across the
dry bed of Rock Creek, skirted a lit
tie clump Of cottonwoods, and drew
rein before the bars of the Overland
Stage company's horse corral on the
California trail a few miles north or
Manhattan. Bill McKandlas, jumping
from his horse, put his hand on the top
bar. A tall, slender young man stepped
to the door of the dugout few yards
away with a gun in his hand, and eyed
the McKendlas gang with dark dls1a-
vor. He called out with some emphasis
that he would shoot the first man VINO
took down a bar, and made some com.
ments on their parentage.
A few hours before they had gone
by his quarters jerking an old preacher
at the end of lariat. AS they passed
they announced that they would come
back for the stage horses in the corral
at three o'clock in the afternoon. The
young man with the gun had repned
that he would be there when they came
back. He was paid to feed, harness.
and protect the company's properly
and intended to earn his money. The
ten visiting gentlemen tied their
horses to the corral, and turned 10 tht
more cheerful duty of exterminatlfS
the imprudent and forward young
watchman. He retired into his dugort
domicile, barred the door, and STOOD
waiting with a rifle in his hand. EVen
then he had the habit Of not shooting
until the occasion really demanded 1t.
The highwaymen hunted up log from
the cOttonwoods, and with pralseWor-
thy industry proceeded to batter down
the door. Jim Mckandlas, with re-
volver, a bowie-knife, a whoop and a
yell leaped across the threshold and
into eternity. AS the others rushed

A SENSIBLE JuDGE.-The court room
is a place where good many amusing
things occur. The examination Of wit
nesses is often the occasion Of good
laugh for the visitors to the temple of
justice. In many instances the joke is
on the witness; but sometimes the ta-
BILE is turned and the examiner is the
one who is hit An instance of the lat
ter kind occurred in the court room this
week. On the stand as witness was
prominent farmer of the western Sec
ton of the county, who is little dear.
The attorney asked him question; but
received no answer. The question was
repeated; but still there was no answer.
The examining attorney then threat
ened:
'I will appeal to the judge and he Will
make you answer the question"
THAT, he won't" was the reply OF the
witness who was not too deaf to catch
the attorneys remarks. Hes got too
much sense to ask any such fool ques-
tion as that"
The sheriffs "Order in Court" was
not sufficient to restore quiet in the
court room.

TRIED BOTH WAYS.-Some of the in
mates of a Yorkshire asylum were en-
gagged in saving wood, and an atten-
dant thought that one old fellow, who
appeared to be working as hard as
anybody, had not much to show for his
labor.
Approaching him, the attendant soon
discovered the cause of this The old
man had turned his saw upside down,
with the teeth in the air, and was work
ing away with the back Of the tool.
Here, I say, j." remarked the at
tendant, "what are you doing? You'll
never cut the wood in that fashion.
Turn the saw over!"
The old man paused and stared con-
temptuously at the attendant.
dit ia iver try saw this way?" he
asked.
"Well, no." replied the attendant.
"Of course, haven't"
Then hod thy noise, mon," was the
instant rejoiner. 1--WE tried both ways,

THE DocToR's 1NDIscRETIoN. There
is no profession which calls for the use
Of more discretion than the profession
of medicine" remarked a well-known
physician of this city. "Just to give
you an instance:
II came home late one evening after
a very busy day, and was told by the
office boy that a certain Mrs. S. had
called me up three times on the tele-
phone. AS her young hopeful had scar
let fever and was afraid he had taken
a sudden turn for the worse, got CEN
trail to connect me with her house
without delay.
1.-The misses has gone to bed, sir,
said the voice Of a maid in reply; but
she was so anxious to know if she could
wash Tommy's face"
II called back that she had better ask
the nurse if it was dirty. Now they
have another doctor."-New York Mail

THE ACTOR SCORES AGAIN.-A certain
actor is as quick-witted and nimble-
tongued as any other shining light of
his club, which is noted for it's brilliant
members. He is credited with having
crushed an impertinent counsel with
neatness and dispatch.
He was witness in case, and was
being questioned by the opposing coun-
sci in a way that was not particularly
to his liking; but a climax was reached
when the lawyer, in the insulting tone
too often adopted to witnesses, said:
You are an actor, Mr.. -. Do you
not consider acting low calling?"

ther's," was the answer.
What was your fathers calling?"

through the door the man inside fired
three shots, with that accuracy Of aim
for which he was so much admired in
the years that were to come. The six
somewhat startled horse thieves who
remained alive swarmed across the
dugout floor, and piled upon the young
station keeper with revolvers and
bowie-knives. One beat him over the
head with a gun. and Bill McKandlas
struck with a bowie-knife, only to bury
it in the table, and with bullet in his
heart, to suddenly terminate a career
which had furnished an infinite variety
of interest for the sheriffs and vigilants
Of several counties. The rusty stove
fell from it's insecure foundation across
the surging combatants, mixed In In
extricable and sanguinary confusion.
Outside horse broke his hitching strap
and galloped way. The little table
broke down beneath the weight Of a
thousand pounds of shooting, stabbing
swearing frontiersmen. The fattest
bandit rolled toward the door, and
catching a glimpse Of the brown prai-
ries outside, which looked good to him,
suddenly reached the conclusion that
he did not really need any stage COM
pany horses in his business and bolted.
BY this time the affair had ceased to
have for the other four horse fanciers
that enticing interest which had drawn
them into it. AS he afterwards ex-
pressed it, the young man in charge of
the stage station had "gone wild"
Covered with wounds and freckled with
bullet holes he had lost every thought
and instinct except the lust Of death
and victory. AS they fought he struck
the sixth man in the throat with the
bowie, and the man fell across the lit
tie pile Of blankets. The three who
were now on their feet retreated through
the door and toward their horses, their
host staggering after them with the
gleam of battle still in his blue eyes.
That morning his associate in the COM
pany's service had gone hunting, to re-
turn on the run barely in time to wit
ness the close Of the tragedy. Doc
Mills, the associate, had lost golden
opportunity. While he was out shoot
ing quail, Fame had knocked at the
dug-out door, handed laurel to James
Butler Hickok, and passed on. Hickok
wrested the gun from Mills's hand, and
killed another Of his fleeing foes before
they were so yards away. One, badly
wounded, sped down the little creek.
found his way to Manhattan, and died
within two days. The ninth, more for
tunate mounted horse, and followed
the fat deserter across the prairie.
When the stage from the East came
rumbling in, half an hour later, they
found this hero of the most savage and
the most remarkable conflict in border
annals insensible and at the point of
death. The floor of his dugout looked
like the deck of a vikings warship af-
ter a glorious triumph. Six months
elapsed before he recovered. He had
beaten ten men in a fair fight, killing
eight of them, but he had won his
fight, saved his employers property,
and henceforth he was wild Bill'' for
all time.-E. C. Little in Everybody's
Magazine.

TOO MUCH FOR BEANS.
Railway Cafe Highwayman Makes
an Enemy That Proves His Ruin.

an Enemy That Proves HIS Hu1n.
A good many years ago I was con-
nected with morning newspaper In
an Illinois city, and our custom was to
go to the restaurant in the railroad sta
ton for our midnight lunch, that be-
ing the only place open at that time Of
the night.
There were three morning papers, so
quite a number Of the newspaper boys
made the place a rendezvous, and we
used to sit and talk over the things
that had happened and good many
that had not.
This restaurant was run by a man
named Gull, and he had held up enough
trains with his lunch counter to make
himself pretty we'll fixed in this worlds
goods.
One night when we were all gathered
there the 1907 train pulled in and
among others was a passenger who re-
galed himself with a plate Of beans.
The lunch counter, in Culls absence,
was in charge of young man who had
his eye distinctly on the main chance.
The conductor called "All aboard!"
and the man in great haste asked what
he owed.
Fifty cents"
What! Fifty cents for plate of
beans?"
That's the price"
You're joking-how much?"
Fifty cents goes"
"Well." said the man as he paid the
money in with little evidence OF tenn
per, that's a laundering price for
BEANS"
And again as he went through the
door he turned and said impressively-
"a laundering price for beans"
Cults troubles began with that mo-
ment.
While we were still sitting here the
railroad operator brought In a tele-
gram to Gull, who had come In IN the
meantime, and was chuckling over the
profits of those beans.
Gull read the telegram. All 1t said
was: "a laundering price for beans.
John @. Smith," but on the envelope
was the significant inscription, Col
lect rs cents"
This was the opening shot. From
every station between that town ana
St. Louis came the wall to Gull, "a
laundering price for BEANS" and each
time Gull got madder and madder over
the "collect Is cents" In the morning
Gull notified the boy not to receive or
nav for any more kilograms, and also
read the riot act to the telegraph COM
pany.
The next day our friend John =.
Smith started on a new game. he
would mack a dozen choice brick IN
box with the same old message inclos-
ed and ship them to Gull. This he did
by both freight and express '"charges
collect" until Gull was fairly frenzled
with rage.
Now. at that time Gull was playing
the market through Chicago broker
and it happened that there was sud
den and severe slump. The proKef
wired to Gull to put up more margins,
Culrs boy, under instructions, declined
TO receive the message. Getting no an
swer to his telegram, the broker closed
culrs account at a whopping loss.
This was the last straw. Gull went
plumb crazy in earnest this time. he
was taken to the asylum and spent the
rest Of his days there.
He used to sit day by day with MS
bood between his hands, repeating by
the hour the five fatal words: "A thun-
dering price for beans!" "A thunder
ing price for beans!"-St. Paul Dis
patch.

On TRAI- q We DESERTERS
Authorities of Ramsay County. Minn.
Will Try to Secure acquisitions
for Them.

The Ramsay county board ofcontrol
has decided to seek requisition papers
in order to secure the return to Mime
sofa of so husbands who have deserted
theirwives. The last Legislature passed
a law making wife desertion felony,
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary from one to three years,
with a provision for a suspension of
sentence provided the delinquent hus-
band shall give bond TO the state to
support his wife and family
The county board of control, which
has charge of the county charitable
institutions, has had to,support num-
ber of families where the husbands
have deserted and left the state. They
asked for an opinion of the county at
torney as to the possibility of securing
the deserters' return, and the attor-
ney having decided that this is posi-
BILE the board will ask for requisitions
in 80 cases.
The deserting husbands are located
IN various states, and the effort to Sc
cure their return will doubtless give
rise to some novel complica tions.
