CLAY AS A FIGHTER.
He Did Not Know What the Word
Fear Meant.

Nor need we mention Gen. CLAWS
duels according to the forms. His fight
at Russell's Cave in 1910 with Samuel NJ.
Brown a gigantic bully, is specimen
of real strenuousness. Brown, on the
slavery side of the argument, called Clay
a id liar, and hit him with his UNI
brella, says the New York Sun. Clay
knew his man and at once pulled out his
bowie knife. Here is his account of the
controversy that followed:
"Before [ could strike / was seized
from behind and borne by force about
fifteen feet from Brown, who, being
armed with a Colts revolver, cried
'Clar the way and let me kill the id
rascal The way was speedily cleared,
and | stood isolated from the crowd.
Now, as Brown had his pistol bearing on
me, L had either to run or advance. So
turning my left arm covering it, so as to
protect it to that extent, l advanced
rapidly on him, knife in hand. Seeing l
was coming, he knew very well that
nothing but a sudden and fatal shot
could save him. So he held his fire, and
taking deliberate aim just as l was with
in arms reach, he fired at my heart. L
came down upon his head with a ire
mendous blow, which would have split
upon an ordinary skull, but Browns was
as thick as that of an African. The
blow laid his skull open about three
inches to the brain, indenting it, but not
breaking the textures; but it so stunned
him that he was no more able to fire,
and feebly attempted to seize me- His
fellow conspirators now grasped me and
held both arms above my elbows, which
only allowed me to strike with the fore
arm as Brown advanced upon me. l was
also struck with hickory sticks and
chairs. But finding L was likely to get
loose, they threw Brown over the stone
fence, which, only two feet high on our
side, was seven or eight feet on the lower
side. So Brown had a terrible fall, which
ended the contest. Raising my bloody
knife, 1 said: Il repeat that the state
ment made by the speaker before
Browns assault has been proven false
hood, and | stand ready to defend the
truth But neither the speaker of the
day nor any of the conspirators taking
up my challenge, some of my friends,
recovering from their lethargy, took me
by the arm to the dwelling house, and, on
opening my vest and shirt bosom, found
only red spot over my heart, but no
wound On examination it was found
that the ball as pulled up the scabbard
of my bowie knife, in drawing the blade,
had entered the leather case near the
point, which was lined with silver, and
was there lodged
Browns skull was cut to the brain in
several places, one ear was slit nearly
off, one eye was gouged out and he had
other wounds. 1t is a pleasure to re-
member that when Gen. Clay was tried
for mayhem, Henry Clay defended him.
Brown was the chief\witness for the de-
Tense and testified that there was.a con-
spiracy between himself and four others
to bring on the atfray.

SPICE FROM SPRING ISLAND.

Raspberry shortcake is thing of the
past but who cares? Blackberries are
ripe, and Duchess apples, both of which
make the finest pie timber on earth.
Sweet corn is plentiful, and Rob Nyn-
son is credited with having the first of
the season.
Spring chicken is ripe also, and din
ner of the fried bird, thanked with sweet
corn and cucumbers, and topped off with
blackberry pudding is good enough even
for Spring Island.
People are complaining that their po-
tatoes are growing too big, being so
large in fact that each potato, must have
its sides pared off before it viii fit a
common sized kettle.

The Amboy cows are well cared for.
They are not sent out to pasture, be-
cause there are no pasture fields near
the village, hence every owner of COW
depends on the picket rope plan. Early
in the spring, or about grass time each
owner of a COW looks over the vacant
lots and back streets that promises good
feeding grounds and stakes out a claim
which is never jumped or infringed up
on by others. During fly time nearly
every cow is blanketed, not by strip of
cloth over the back, but full sized
covering of good stuff and tailor made. :

INSANITY IN THE FARMHOUSE.

Statistics go to show that IS per cent
of the women sent to insane asylums
come from farmhouses. Many are easily
frightened, many grow morbid by reason
of their treadmill life and lack of whole
some recreation and many lack proper
medical attention when it is necessary
and by reason of ignorance and poverty
fail to seek relief until the mind suffers
with the body.-Atlanta Journal.

Mems Outing Suits

those who contended that it was not
a good thing, and in violation of the
laws of the state, was Hon. M. D.
Mum of St. Paul, whose arguments
in reply to the strongest points
made by the defense, are considered
remarkably clear and concise state
ments as to why the merger should
not be permitted, and why it is in VIC
lation of the laws of the state. Judge
Lochren will take some time to con
slider the case, but in view of the
fact that the Uuited States court OF
appeals has decided that the merger
is violation of the anti trust law,
it is likely that he will lay down the
law in harmony with that decision,
even though the contention of the
state is that the laws of the state
have been violated.

form the stranger into brother of

The acQuittal of Kohler n St.
Paul is one of the events that tend
to keep the people guessing as to
what a petit jury will do. Kohler,
at midnight, was intoxicated He
borrowed a revolver and started
for home. On the way home he
shot down in cold blood a young
man whom he did not know. The
judge instructed the jury that if he
was so drunk that he was irrespon-
sible that body could return yer
dict of acquittal. That is the way
the jury looked at it. Hereafter it
will only be necessary to get on a
jag, 90 out and shoot your enemy,
and then have jury acquit you
because you were drunk. 1t is a
"devil' of verdict rendered on a
"devil' of charge.
