Story of Santos-Dumont.

A gentleman, who has known NJ San
tos-Dumont intimately for several years,
speaking recently of the world-renowned
aeronauts personal characteristics. re-
marked that NJ. Dumonts extreme re-
serve of manner, and what casual OBJ
server might almost mistake for tim
idty OF temperament, would certainly not
lead one to imagine him capable of pos
sessing a great intellect for invention and
courage to navigate the air.
IAN extremely quiet, reticent little
man" said the friend above referred to-
nearly always TO be met with gutomo-
biles for his principal topic of conversa-
tion and apparently his chief hobby.
Upon his real work. the science OF aero
nautics, IL is almost impossible to get
him 10 say a word: as also, perhaps nat
urally upon the romance OF his lfe-his
attachment TO Miss Towers. the daughter
of the well-known American hotelkeeper
in Paris. There is no doubt he felt keen
ly the refusal OF his parents in Brazil to
give their consent TO his marriage which
was the only reason for its being broken
off"
Occasionally Il seems NJ Dumont would
invite friend or two to accompany him
little story Is told which emphasizes
cetrain phase OF his character
The trip I'm question was 90 place
some 30 miles from Paris at "A time when
automobiles had not reached their pres
ent state OF perfection. As I'm many sim
liar instances. the machine broke down
hopelessly by the wayside and IL had 10
be towed to the nearest railroad station.
There IL was found the party had 10 wait
several hours for the next train back TO
Paris, and the question OF dinner became
all important. So TO the village auberage
M. Dumont and his friends repaired. and
ordered the best repast which could be
served. I'm the meantime NJ Dumont's
friends proposed a stroll through the VIII
lage, but on the plea that he wanted to
think about something. NJ. Dumont re-
malned at the Inn.
The friends had not left the inn long
before the landldy hustled into the room
10 lay the table. and finding the quiet
little man alone mistook him FOR SER
want and valet OF the party. Beng short
handed and not "a little perturbed by the
arrival of such unusual guests, she re-
duested his assistance In properly serving
up the meal. Without n word OF protest
as II was subsequently disclosed NJ Du-
mont ohligingly shouldered a napkin and
under the landlady's direction, set TO
work placing the knives. forks and plates
In the middle of this unusual occupatio
he was surprised by his astonlshed
friends. who begged 60 know the reason

pistol duel at Lawrenceburg, Ky, Alt

tional bank OF that city, lies seriously
Ill. wounded at his home, and Judge Por-
ter Walker is under official surveillance
awaiting a change I'm the wounded mans
condition.
The trouble says a Lawrenceburg spe-
cial, was begun last fan when Wither-
spoon came under the hands of the law
by recklessly firing his revolver and
shooting thrvygh some windows. He was
arrested and Walker as judge of the po-
lice court, fined him $500.
Since that time 1t is said bad feeling
has existed between the men. Walker
had occasion TO go to Hawkins dry
goods store and found Witherspoon
there. Witherspoon cursed Walker, but
the latter making no response retired.
After he had eaten his luncheon Walker
returned TO the store and finding Wither-
spoon still there. asked him TO retract his
recent language.
Witherspoon, realizing that trouble was
coming, retreated to the door, where he
turned and attempted to draw his re-
volver.
The weapon had caught i'm his pocket
and he was compelled to turn sidewise
while using both hands TO release It.
Meantime Walker seeing Witherspoon
reached for his gun drew his own and
fired point blank at Witherspoon. The
latter ducked and the bullet clipped his
ear. Walker then fired again and this
time grazed the shoulder of his antago-
MIST
Before Witherspoon could bring his re-
volver into play the Judge had fired the
third shot, which struck Witherspoon on
the back, below and slightly to the left
of the right shoulder. Witherspoon fell
to the floor and was removed TO his home
where his life is despaired Of
Walker gave himself up To the author
tiles and was released upon his own rec
ognizance
