MADE DUEL A COMEDY
AMERICANS HUMOROUS aFioHr.
WITH FRENcHMAN.
In Addition to Fun He Had There
Was Also . Little Bit Of q Foo
Coming TO Him From tho
"Movles."

The French liner La Touraine, ar
irving recently from Hayre, brought
among it's passengers John B. Miller,
who formerly lived In Brooklyn, but
who for q year has been living at
Clay, France, with his wife. Mr.. Mil
Ter fought q duel with an irate
Frenchman, and that no blood was
shed was due to his sense Of humor.
! Living In the same town, says the
New York Evening World, was a
Frenchman for whom he conceived
great dislike, and his feelings ap-
parently were reciprocated. Mr.. Mil
Ter didn't like the cut OF the gentle
mans coat nor the top hat he inva-
riably wore. But, quite by accident
he contends, he stepped on the
Frenchman's foot. It was In a cafe,
and his friend. the enemy, had one
foot out In the, aisle.
"Pig!" saids sthesF'renchman.
/ What's that 2" esqueried Miller,
doubling the evidence of. his senses.
"Swine!" cried the other with dis
dain.
! Miller swung on the gentleman's
jaw and the latter yelled "Assassin!"
Gendarmes rushed In and Miller
was arrested.
! "And believe me-" said Mr.. Miller,
"I found that 1t was quite a different
matter walloping man in France
than handing him one on this side.
1T was lucky that had friends over
there or might have gone to Jail for
something like life. My friends told
me that the proper thing over there
was to cane a man; that 1t was not
only objectionable to strike a man
with your hands, but 1t was criminal.
We'll, got out Of 1t, all right. Then
I bought stick with lot OF knots in
it, and what handed to that gentle
man was plenty.
Instead OF an arrest this time !
got q challenge to duel. My wife's
cousin was the second who brought
me the. challenger / told him that
didn't want to fight any duel, and he
said that there was no way out Of 1t.
Well, he was q good fellow, and I
told him that I would get second
and that they could Job the blood
Thirsty gentleman. He agreed to
have the pistols loaded with black
powder.
"There was q movie man in town,
and I asked him what 1t was worth
TO give him the exclusive privilege of
taking pictures. He said 150 francs
iand told him to go to It. We went
out in the gray morning, and never
word was exchanged between us. My
man and I backed up against each
iother and at the word walked ten
PAGES, then turned and blazed away.
1 "The yell let out Of me could
have been heard all over town,
think. dropped to the ground and
,sQuirmed. That Frenchman's sense
,of honor was thoroughly satisfied. He
beat It, and his second with him, and
1 think he's going yet, for I never
saw him again. When he was gone
went to where the movie fellows
were grinding away with their
camera, and got my fee. The man.
;ager. OF the concern grinned and said
the performance was well worth the
price"

to s4,077.25 which amount would not
have been charged to the general

The amount received fer the water
works fund for the year ending May
1, 1914 was sS,365.OO In order to
complete the plans which had pre-
viously been outlined for improve

expend s12,452,73; s10,294.41 of this
amount being expended in completion
of the new pumping plant, the re-
modelling of the old pumping station
and for meters and fire plugs.
The road fund was overdrawn on

ovERDRAFTs AND OTHERWISE

This week we are publishing the
detailed report of receipts and ex
Denditures of the city of Payette
since May l, 1913 and to May 1, 1914
Financial reports are always full OF
mystery especially where they are
just casually read and where con
ditions depend on what has formerly
been done That clear understand
ing might be had of the report as pub
lished we have IN measure looked
up the records and give for the bene-
fit Of taxpayers the following ex-
PLANTATION of details:
The amount received from al
sources by the city of Payette for
the year ending May 1, 1913 to the
credit of the general Salary and
Road funds, was s1s,4S704.
The amount received from all
sources for the year ending May l,
1914, the first year of the present adj
ministration, to the credit of the
General, Salary, and Road funds, was
s13.101.94.
This shows that the city received
from the levy for the General, Salary, |
and Road funds $5,375.10 more for
the year ending May l, 1913 than was
received for the year ending May 1
1914.
AS shown by the report made May
!, 1914, these funds show no mater
al increase in the overdraft on any
# them, except the General Fund,
n which case the increase Seems to
esult by the transfer Of the overdraft
f the old city hall fund shown in
he report of May ], 1913 as being
1,154.26, which overdraft was taken t
p by the General Fund. The GEN
raj Fund also was forced to bear z
ne expense of lighting of the city
'r eight months, amounting to $1,622.
), until the lighting fund could be S
reated, it having formerly been paid \
Ut Of the road fund.

ANSWERED CALL.

The fire department received a
unique call Tuesday afternoon of
this week when the boys were call
ed out to extinguish a fire that was
working with all its might on Bruce
York's large automobile. Mr.. York
had just made a long drive in the
car, and had started to crank up to
join in the baseball parade, when a
sharp explosion occurred and flames
burst out from under the car envel-
oping the entire engine and front
portions, and those present could
not extinguish them, hence the call
for the fire department. The car
was a large Stevens-Duryea, seven
passenger car, valued originally at
about $500. The damage, accord
ing to Mr.. York, was about $1,400,
covered by insurance.

TO REOPEN INDIAN ROLLS

Senator Lodge or massachusetts
has offered an amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill that will
revolutionize tribal afafirs in Okla
homa, since it proposes to open all
the rolls and add several hundred
thousand claimants to citizenship. If
carried out it will ladd $4,000 to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw rolls, and
about 10000 to the Cherokee rolls,
to say nothing of the Creeks.
The amendment directs the secre-
tary of the interior to add to the
rolls Of the Five Tribes names of
persons shown by the government
records to be entitled to enrolment
without regard to technical legal
bars" 1t also diverts the enroll
