DEADLY DUEL.
Between Two Wyoming Editors Pro-

From the Burlington Hawkeye.

from the Voice:
There is a human insect over at

take place soon.'
The Clipper of which Smith Is pro-
prietor, sidesteps gracefully as follows
the biograph breaking down in spots:
1.-The Voice. from which the above ar
ticle was taken, is a democratic paper,
published by a shyster lawyer named
Hayden NJ. White, a close personal friend
of Senator S. A. ID. Keister of Lander

Then the editor of the Clipper draws
himself together with this effort and
makes the following startling assertion;

Buffalo can but wonder what will become
of HAYDEN NJ White when the breath
leaves his feculent body and death stops
the rafting of his abortive brain, for he
is unfit for heaven and too foul for hades.
He cannot be buried in the earth lest he
provoke a pestilence, nor in the sea lest
he poison the fish. nor swung in space like
Mohammeds coffin lest the circling
worlds in trying to avoid contamination
crash together, wreck the universe and
bring again the noisome reign of chaos.
