vALDosTA HAS A KIDNAPPING.

But the Boys Returned with n Good
story TO Tell.
Valdosta, Ca, Feb. 15.-valdosta comes
to the front with her first kidnapping SEN
sation. Two young boys who strayed
away from home yesterday, returned to-
day with a story that rivals one that
young Cudahy might have told if he had
escaped from those who carried him from
his home.
The boys are George Giddens and Ciar-
ence Carter, and their ages are about u
years. They say that a man hired them
to show him the way to Strickland Cotton
Mills, and when they reached there, he
asked them to go with him to the river.
When they reached the river, according to
their story, they wished to return home,
but the man refused to hear to it.
Pulling his pistol, he threatened to kill
them and throw them in the river, if
they did not go with him to Mineola. The
man was on bicycle, and both of the
boys were riding wheels At Mineola,
they lodged him and hid in the slab pit
to the mill there until this morning. when
they returned to the city, tired and hun
cry Parties here saw the boys riding
out of town with a stranger, and the par
ents of the boys are anxious now to find
out VINO Lndl stranger was.
A negro named Jack Miller bought
mule here yesterday and started to lead
him out of town when the mule bucked
and finally broke loose from his owner.
Jack tried TO catch the animal and it
ran into the Court House square. Hem
ming it in corner, the negro tried TO
get hold of the halter, when the mule
tried to jump the iron picket fence. 1t
was. impaled on the sharp iron and
hung suspended there for some time The
animal died this morning of it's injuries.
Jack bought another mule and went off
to prepare for planting his crop, though
he threa tens TO sue the county for dam
ages because the gate to the Court House
yard was left open.
The remains of negro named Carter
were brought here from Olympia for
burial last night, the negro having died
of the effects of a pistol shot inflicted by
Bob Nettles last Saturday night. Both
of the negroes worked Tor the West yell
low Pine Company, and they became in
volved in q row which ended in Carriers
death. Nettles has not been arrested,
and doubtless will not be, as it is re-
ported that the killing was justifiable.
The young men of the city gave a VAL
entine hop at the Vidette's Armory last
night, and 1t is said to have been one of
the most enjoyable of the season. About
thirty couples were present, and music
was furnished by select local orchestra.

DUEL ON THE PLAINS.
Tragic story of VIM. HALEY Recalled
by His Death.

ST. Joseph, Mo, Letter in New Orleans
States.
William HALEY, the chief lieutenant Of
the noted guerrilla. Charles Quantrell,
during the war of the rebellion, who has
just passed away at the state insane asy-
lum in this city, a victim of paresis, was
one of the figures in a duel fought on
the plains of Texas as he was fleeing
with Shelby and handful of ex-Confed-
crates from the United States to seek
an asylum under the reign OF Macmillan
in Mexico. After the last remnant of the
guerrilla band that been hunted to earth
Haley escaped to one of the commands
under Gen. 10 Shelby, which was then
making it's way to a point on the Brazos
river in Texas, with the expectation OF
making final attack upon Federal forces
and supplies at Corsicana.
Shelbys army was marching toward
Austin, near where the duel between Hal
ley, who was then first lieutenant in
one of the companies. and a captain of
a company in another regiment occurred
The duel was witnessed by a number of
Shelby's men who are now residents OF
this city and Maj. Edwards, who accom-
panied Shelby to the City of Mexico, re-
turning only after the army was disbsnd-
ed and upon the refusal OF Macmillan TO
accept the Missourians into the service of
the empire.
A woman Worth Fighting for.
The (lue;ists, both young men, quarreled
about a woman, fair young thing, who
was the Captains by right of conquest.
At the night encampment she abandoned
the old love for the new, and in the strug-
gle for possession the Captain struck the
Lieutenant fair in the face.
"You have done serious thing" some
comrade said to him.
ut will be more serious in the morn
ing" was the quiet reply.
"But you are in the wrong, and you
should apologize"
He tapped the handle of his revolver
significantly and made answer; This
must finish what the blow has commenced
A woman worth kissing is worth lighting
for"
The name of either duelist has hereto
fore remained unspoken. Most Of the
men who witnessed the tragedy have
long since passed to their reward and IL
