WIN IN THE SECOND

Each team made a run in the very
first inning The sailors, who batted
first, came back with three in the sec
ond. and it began TO look as though
the score would mount into the mil
lions, but it didn't. The army placed
one man across the rubber in its part
Of the second frame and after that the
score board boy laid off. Not another
run was registered in the last seven
innings and comparatively few men
reached first base. At one time the
army filed the bags with one man out,
but McCrary frightened up and struck
out the next two men who faced him,

While of course, he will not win this time, their choosing him shows that they love him." Then Mrs Preston broke down again and cried as if her heart would break. As she sob- bed, she called continually for "Morrie Morrie, my boy, come back to me, come back to me-" and thus the re- porter left this heart-broken mother, dependent upon other aid, toiling from early morn till late at night for mls- erable pittance, thinking of her boy Little Rcck Democrat.

 'Whtlow didn't hop to his feet like man in state of alarm when we walked in. He just glanced up suddenly and keenly from hfs newspaper. But there was something in the expression of his eye that made him look like a man who might be ready for almost anything in the shape of trouble that was liable to swing along.
 He got up and rested his hands on the bar, and asked us what we'd have, and we'd just named it when there was quick footstep back of us. We turned almost instantly, but before we turned we knew by the look of Whitlow's face that the man he was waiting for was there.
 "The man we saw when we turned was tall, rather gaunt, but broad d-shouldered chap, with sunburnt yellow hair and a sun-bronzed face, distorted from hate, His lips were drawn away from his teeth, like dogs, as he said to Whitlow, who stood regarding him salmly:

hadn't seen any killings before. but I fusing to do It's work. So, knowing what was happening, I kept my eye on the face of the man .who had come to that place to kill.
 "It was painful to see the expression of surprise, of utter disquietude, that ap- peared on his face when he found, after that second shot, that his pistol was re- fusing duty on him. He was wondering, probably, whether 1t was damned cart ridge, or if he'd forgotten to load, or what it was that was putting that terrific handicap upon him at the crisis of his life'
 -"Of course, though, he had no time to investigate with the other man pumping away at him, and so he pulled the trig- ger again, the third time on the drop, just as his brother-in-laws gun spoke with the usual loud bang
 "The man who had come there to XII was close to the door, and swaying bad ly by this time but he was determined to shoot 1t out-indeed, there was noth- ing else for him to do. He could only take the chance, in that situation. that maybe he'd get a shot out or ms gun II he stuck at 1t long enough.

the killing teetered forward, the gun fall ing out of his hand, and as he was In the very act of falling flat on his face he let out this choked cry of bitter anguish:
 My God, and I never got shot at himP
 He was dead in half 8 minute. All five of his brother-in-law's shots had hit him, and all in bad spots.
 "The white-aproned man stood looking at him for a moment Then he stepped back behind the bar, placed his gun where he had found It, beside the money till and turned to us; we had sunk from behind the shelter of the refriger- ator our faces pretty white, no doubt. and were leaning against the bar for support.
 1T forgot what drinks you hombres asked for said Whitlow, in a quiet way. 'Whatll you have, again? It's on me-.
 We took stiff ones and hurried away. An hour later, though, We were summon ed to testify at the coroner's inquest we told the story as 1t had happened and Whtlow was acquitted by the coro- ners jury-there was no other thing for the jury to do, of course, since the other man had entered Whitlows place with gun in his hand and had told him in the presence of witnesses-the comedian and I--that he was there to Kill. That was the only man l ever saw Killed in conflict of any kind with an- other man. I often wish. though, that I hadn't heard those last despairing words of his when the pistol fell from his hand to the floor.

 Which was square enough on the part of the manager of the town hall. But we never knew when we were being strung as to these things in the south west. Wed heard lot of that kind of stuff down there from kidders, whose only idea was to have what fun with us they could, and to see us turn pale If the peril they painted was imminent.
 Anyhow, about two hours after that the comedian and I, feeling like a little of the native nose paint, we dropped down to Jim Whitlow's. Taking the law of chances as the basis. we figured that If there was going to be any shooting it wasn't liable to happen just while we were in the act of regaling ourselves were some curious to see how a man looked who. as we had been told, was just waiting around for brother-in- law to stroll in and kill him.

boys with their drinks was Whitlow's calm reply. And he actually turned his pack upon his enemy-who already had a big pistol in his hand-to pick up a bottle and glasses with which to serve us. It was a movement. as I thought. that was full of contempt.
 But my companion trouper and I weren't thirsty just then. We made two Jumps for it as soon as we heard Cow drey's words for the shelter of a big, old fashioned refrigerator that stood at the end of the bar. We darted behind that, and l poked Just eye from behind the refrigerator in order to view the pro- ceedings.
 I'd often heard and read accounts of afrairs like that, but I'd always supposed them to be exaggerated, and I wanted to see how the thing would come off with myself as my own looker-on and witness.
 When Whtlow saw in the bar mirror that his two customers, the comedian and l, had bolted for It, he let go of the bottle and glasses and picked up the huge. pistol that was lying right to his hand along side the money till. Then he turned to his brother-in-law, who was backing toward the door, he raised his gun to fire.
 Both Fired on the Drop.
 At the same instant they both raised their guns on high, like old stagers, and nred on the drop. That is, they both pulled the trigger on the drop. Whit lows gun, however, was the only one that went off. The other mans hammer came down with a metallic ping-g-g that clearly showed that his gun had missed fire.
 The big handsome man with the bar keepers apron on stepped around the end of the bar after the first shot and very deliberately fired again on the drop. At the same instant again. his brother-in- law pulled the trigger and again folloYed that clinking noise, showing that his gun wasn't working.

A Matter that Should Not be For
gotten.

Young men who voted OH age
last fall MUST be Registered or
they can not vote under any cir
cumstances. Others who have paid
State or County tax within two
years may be able to swear in their
votes, if they are not upon the Reg
istry, but the voter who cast his
first ballot in 1907, has no possible
chances to do this. He is not upon
any duplicate, has no tax assessed
against him, and consequently CAN
not qualify to having paid tax,
as is necessary where voters are left
off the Registry. By failing to
register he practically and effectu-
ally disfranchises himself. There
is no way by which he can vote,
and Democrats should remember
and see that every young Democrat
who voted on age in 1907, is upon
the polling list of 1908. And this
must be seen to before the evening
of September 2nd. Don't Forget
this.

ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

On several occasions in the past
this paper has advocated the abo.-
ishing of the Office of Associa,e e
Judge, on the ground that it was
no longer essential TO the admins
tration of justice, and therefore a
useless and expensive ornament. In
the early days or the state the iu-
dicial districts were large, and each
one embraced several counties Tie
President Judge travelled from one
TO the other, and it was impossible
Tor him to be well acquainted in all
OF them and so it was deemed nee
essary to have local associates in
each county.
The constitution of 1874 provid-
ed that all counties having a popu-
lation of 10000 should be entitled
to become separate district, with
President Judge only, the associ-
ates to be abolished. This gives a
district like Lycoming only one
Judge, while the district composed
OF Sullivan and Wyoming with a
very much less, has
five. The same may be said of our
own district Of Columbia and Mon
tour.
The Middleburg Pest is now agi-
tating the question of abolishing
judges, and has compiled
a table showing the amount paid by
the state as salaries to associates,
as follows:
