Butchers Duel.

The Denver News of Tuesday morning
contained the following dispatch from
Golden, regarding a duel between two
butchers, which occurred Monday af-
ternoon. One of the duelists, Ed. G.
Hughes, was former resident Of Black
Hawk, and being we'll known in this
community, the occurrence will be OF in
terest to his acquaintances in this sec
ton:
"The reputation Of butchers as expert
marksmen was sadly shattered by two
mem bers of the craft here this after
noon, who exchanged number OF pistol
shots without the slightest injury to
even thu innocent bystander. Il. l..
Melvin and Ed G. Hughes had been at
outs for week or more. Melvin was
yesterday forced to yacate storeroom
he occupied as meat market for sew
eral months, the building having been
subsequently rented to Hughes for the
same purpose.
"This afternoon Melvin drove up to
his former place and soon became en-.
gagged in warm discussion over some
electric light fixtures According TO
witnesses Hughes was the first to draw
n gun and fire. Before the first shot,
however, Melvin had jumped from his
vehicle, and. it is claimed, sprained an
ankle, which constituted the entire cas-
unlty list. Melvin succeeded in drawing
bis revolver soon after alightipg, but by
standers interfered, and after three or
four Intellectual shots had been fired the
combatants we're forced TO subside. No
arrests have been made"

DOCTOR IN TROUBLE
OPERATION BY CHINESE PHYsl-
CLAN NOT A SUCCESS.
Eaeerness to Rival His European Con-
freres Almost Brought Grave Disas'
ter-Authorities Thought Him Unfit
for Liberty.

A report received from DR.. Ernest
G. Vanderburgh, medical missionary
at Siangtan, Human, China. affords an
interesting comparison of Chinese and
American surgical methods. DR.. Van.
derburgh has charge Of two dispeDsa-
ries and hospital maintained by the
Presbyterian Board OF Foreign Mis-
sions at the Chinese city named. The
dispensaries are in different parts OF
the city. and as the doctor was leaving
one to go to the other he was called
to come quickly and help Chinese
doctor.
This Chinese Doctor" writes DR..
Vanderburgh. had heard of the opera
tions performed in the Presbyterian
hospital and he thought that he must
do some operations to make his name
great, and not let the foreign devil
doctor get all his patients away from
him. So when a big strapping. fellow
of about q years came along and
wanted him to remove tumor from
his knee the doctor looked 1t over
sharpened his knife and cut well into
the supposed tumor. Then the poor
doctors troubles began. He couldn't
stop the blood, got scared and sent
for me. AS It happened was near by
When came near enough to see the
patient he was sitting on a bench.
held up by some friends and two
Chinese doctors were using raw silk
and powder trying to stop the blood.
Il told them to put the man In
chair and carry him to the hospital,
at the same time sending for Mr..
Locke to give the chloroform. We
operated, sewed him up and soon saw
him safe In bed and doing well.
I'm the meantime word came that
the poor Chinese doctor had been put
in prison. We all thought that that
was hard. and sent over my card and
asked that he be released, now that
that man operated upon was out OF
danger. The official sent back word
that man like that should not be at
large. but that he would send him out
OF prison with soldier to watch him.
So he was watched for two or three
days. They now tell me that II the
man had died the Chinese doctor might
have been severely punished or even
killed for It."
