Not His Proper Calling.

The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky
was on Il hunting expedition near Louis
vile, and happened tn fall in with a
local Nimrpd whose u%nconcealed admi-
ration for the city mans Workmanship
paved the way ior further conversation,
says the Springfield Republican.
whats your name?" the country
man inquired.
Dudley was the reply.
After some change of incident and ex-
perience the bishops interlocutor haz-
arded:
"Say, Dudley, what business do you
follow"
"Im a preacher"
ooh, get out. What are you giving
me?"
"But ! I'm. preach every Sunday"
"Where?"
'In Louisville"
well, ! never; l never would ha'
thought it. You amt stuck up u bit
like most of the preachers down this
way"
An invitation to hear this new-made
acquaintance preach was accompanied
by a scrubbed card, and the mex Sab
bath saw the rustic in his Sunday
best ushered into the bishops own
pew, where he listened intently to both
service and sermon.
He was manifestly amazed afterward
to have the orator of the morning come
down to greet him cordially and famil-
iarly as in the woods. He managed to
stammer his thanks, and added:
Il amt much of Il Judge of this kind
of thing, parson, but riz with you and
sot with you and saw the thing through
the best / knew how, but all the same,
if my opinion is wurth anything to you,
the Lord meant you for a hunter"

Johnnie Curry fell from his horse
dead.
In July, 1901, Kid Curry, Harry
L~ongabaugh and Dutch Charlie held
up the Great Northern train near
Wagner, Mont, and the chase that
followed Is a matter OF history.
"Kid" Curry was known to be fond
OF Julia Landusky, daughter OF
pike II was thouht by the sherin's
posse that he would make for Ian
dusky before he left that part Of the
state.
Consequently the pursuing posse
made Landusky It's headquarters for
a time and stayed at the Winter q
Gill ranch.
When the posse rode away one day
Jim Winter came out OF his house
and was killed from ambush by q
man concealed In a olump OF willows
about one hundred yards distant from
the front door.
The murderer was never appre
hended.
Julia Landusky married Grant Nc
Gill, a cattleman, and was subsequent
ly divorced.
Alfred Conover then won her.

After this event Johnnie" Curry

AS a consequence she did not in,

up to the ranch and served notice on
Winter to vacate.
The fact that Jim Winter had
bought the property did not cut much
Of a figure in the mind Of Curry.

day" he told Winter. cor I'll come
back here and shoot you up a whole
lot"
That was Friday, and the time
given Winter to move was much too

short. In fact, Winter decided not
to move at all.
True to his word, Johnnie Curry
rode up to the ranch home and called
for some one to come out and be
shot.
He Could Shoot Some.
Johnnie Curry had lost an arm
some time before that in a gun fight,
which tore that useful member or at
the elbow. He had become an ex.
pert, however, at tanning his gun,
The trigger had been filed off, and
the manne in which he could shake
the loads out of his revolver was
something to be marveled at.
On this particular day he stopped
at the horse block near the front
door. Winter suddenly threw open
the door and Johnnie's horse SHE'D.
This act Of the horse proved fatal
to Johnnie.
He had started his tanning" Of his
gun, and the bullets struck all about
Winter.
Just at that moment, however, Win
ter leveled a double-barreled shotgun
at the desperate and sent two
charges OF buckshot into his breast.

"BAD MAN"
DEAD, VICTIM OF 49, :.

ReCOIIeCtiOnS of Alfred OnOver and Some
of His Contemporaries in Literature
of the West

"Pike" Landusky, desperate, who
killed men, and who went to his death
as other bad men" go, at the hands
Of kid" Curry, it is claimed.
Now Alfred Conover is dead.
He did not wait for some one to
kill him-he killed himself.
All he did was to place a revolver
to his head and pull the trigger.
Twelve years ago, when Johnnie,
Kid and LOnnie Curry were riding
the ranges and aspiring to be cattle
kings near the Little Rockies, in
Chouteau county, Mont, pike" Ian
dusky settled a little distance south
of the Fort Belknap reservation.
He Was a bad Man."
The little town was called Ian
dusky, after the founder.
Pike Landusky vas a "gunhghter,"
and 1t was not long before he estab-
lished something of a reputation for
courage.
The Curry boys had long been hav-
ing things their own way.
Quick to shoot and unerring Of aim,
they were ugly citizens to quarrel
with. "
Few persons cared to cross them In
their moments of relaxation, when
they essayed to "shoot up the town"
or make a four flush take the pot in
a game of draw poker.

poker had its rules. he asserted, and

those who played in his saloon had to
abide by the house regulations or
quit.
A quarrel ensued, and Kid Curry
left Landusky's saloon one night with
the remark that he would get him
some day.
Thrown Into Jail,
It was not long after that when
Kid Curry was arrested for a trivial
offense, such as shooting the lights
out of a saloon, and he was lodged in
Jail.
Landusky called on him and spat
at him through the bars. The Kid
said nothing but "wait till I get out
and the matter was thought TO have
been a closed incident.
When released from Jail, Kid Cur
ry rode up to the Landusky saloon
and shot the proprietor.
Pike Landusky had a sawed-on
shotgun, which he endeavored to get
into action. but before he did so he
fell dead, riddled with bullets.
Because he had made a threat
against Landusky. kid Curry had
to shoulder the responsibility for the
