THE PRYOR-PoTTeR INCIDENT.
A Row in the House that Nearly Led
to "a Bowie Knife Fight.

10 DoWle flGht.
One of the most famous fights in Con-
gress took place in the House in 1850
and nearly led to duel with bowie
knives between Roger A. Pryor. of Nir
ginia, and John +. Potter of Wisconsin.
Judge Pryor, since become celebrated
as a leading lawyer in New York, dur
ing the years shortly preceding the war,
was a radical States right partisan and
bitter in his denunciation of the North.
Potter was native of Maine. and had
acquired prominence rs lawyer i'm
Wisconsin when he was sent to Con
gress to represent the First District of
Wisconsin. The alteration between
him and Judge Pryor occurred after
speech in the House by owen Lovejoy
concerning the assassination of his

newspaper Lovejoy's speech was one
of the strongest deliveries against slav-

scene of excitement and tumult in
which Potter became involved. He

Potter to duel. Duels were more com
mon in those days than now, when an
appeal to the code duello Is held In deri-
sion. Pryor was rated an expert pistol
shot, which Potter learned, and when
the seconds of the Virglnian called upon
the Representative from Wisconsin to
ascertain what weapons he desired to
choose, he promptly said bowie knives.
Lander, the husband of the ceebrated
actress. Mrs. Lander, was a strong sym
| pathizer with the cause which Potter
represented. He was also an expert
duelist, and called upon Potter to give
him some valuable hints on the use of
the weapon he had selected for the pas.
sage-a-arms. He told Potter to drOp
upon his right knee when he closed
with his opponent, and defend himself
with his left arm, then thrust his bowie
into his opponents bowels and kill him.
He may cripple you for life" said
Lander, but you will kill him"
Potter was fully determined to act
upon Lander's advice, but before the
critical moment arrived, when the two
men would face each other on the field
of honor, Pryor's seconds threw up the
sponge by declaring that they could moi
consent to let their principal fight will

The only living survivor of the row
in the House, who is still member OF
Congress, is Representative Galusha A

following was elected Speaker. Mr.

Cayuses Costing So Make Sixty Pounds
of Meat for Export.
The horse-pickling works at Linnton
will probably resume operations by the
middle of next month. This statement,
in face Of the fact that Oregon cayuse
ponies are meeting a better demand
now than for many years, seems odd,
but it is true-and there is good reason
for it.
While 10000 or more COW ponies have
gone from the ranges of Eastern Ore
gon this year to supply the needs of the
British armies in South Africa, and
thousands are yet to go, and the price
paid has been very satisfactory to the
producer, the fact remains that great
numbers of scrub ponies are left on the

book that has not lived three years has
no place on library shelf" says An

Such statements as those are alarm

amounts to mania. The printing
presses have made us dizzy with their
mad whirling. To deprive us of new
novel every morning, piping hot from
the presses, would be like robbing the
topper of his morning drink. New books
we must have. Their leaves are the

Regarding Hon. Geo. w. Sieber's
address at the recent canal meeting
of the Legislature, the Columbus Press
says:
The address of Senator Sicber was
one in which words were not minced.
He charged that the parties favoring
the abandonment of the canals had
ulterior motives which they dare not
divulge to the public, and stated flatly
that the Painter bill was the old bill
under new guise, and that the whole
