the Confederate ranks. He actual
ly enlisted as a trooper in a COM
pany of Prices rangers, and secur-
ed much valuable information.
Then he escaped after killing a
Confederate sergeant. Once more
he penetrated the Confederate lines
where he again enlisted. This time
he escaped after killing two men as
he fled, each time in a personal
fight. A third time among the Con
federates he was arrested by Prices
men as a spy and sentenced to be
shot. He tore his hands free, killed
his death watch and escaped.
For some time he served as a sort
of free lance with General Davis
command. Riding by himself one
day he was stopped by three Con
federates. All had revolvers in
their hands, but Wild Bill killed
two of them and fatally wounded
the third before they had fired a
shot. Next he was sent out into
Kansas to investigate a report that
a band of Indians were about to
Join the Confederate forces. In get
ting the information he fought a
knife duel with a Sioux chief, Con
quering Bear, killing his man but
emerging from the fight badly cut
up.

Duel by Appointment in
Springfield Town Square

OHC Jay ditSi liz wal VIM LII
found himself in Springfield, Mo.
where he was insulted by a noted
pistol shot, Dave Tut. Bill tried
to avoid trouble, but the Missouri
ian not only called him a coward,
but threatened to kill him on sight.
Bill offered to meet Tut in the
town square by appointment, and
in a fair fight killed his man at the
first shot.
Another notable fight took place
in Nebraska, where four men
started to make a joint attack on
him. He dared the four to go into
the street and fight him with pis-
tols-the four to fire at the word
and he to do the same. His first
shot killed one man, but he was
shot through the right shoulder
and disabled in his right arm. He
killed two more with his left hand
and wounded the fourth SO badly
that he was unable to continue the
fight.
Wild Bills next experience was
as a scout with Buffalo Bill in the
campaign against Black Kettle. In
the fight in which Black Kettle was
killed, possibly by Wild Bills rifle,
the latter was wounded in the thigh
with a lance, and it took months
for this wound to heal.
One of the toughest towns on the
border then was Hays City, and the
better element of the place employ
ed Wild Bill as town marshal, and
there he killed three men in single
combat. He joined Buffalo Bill in
the latter's Wild West show for a
time in the 70s, but not liking this
life he became marshal of Abilene
and two days later killed a desper-
ado who was shooting up the town.

Cities as thunderstorm Spots.

The conclusion has been reached by
well-known engineer who has given
the subject considerable attention
that certain cities, if not indeed most
inland cities of say 100000 population
or more, appear to be thunderstorm
spots" The observation has been
made by e. r. Horton, of Voorhees,
Vile, N. Y, who also points out that
"a shallow lake with sandy margins
located in a forest may serve as
thunderstorm breeder" and cites as
proof observations made by him
over Oneida lake, New York.

but she was almost as silent as the
shadow of the coming night. She
looked like one searching in the dust
for something very precious. The
strong heart of Samson was touched
by the sorrowful look of her so that
he could not speak.
Soon he was able to say in a low,
trembling voice:
"In every letter he tells of his love
for you. That article in the paper
was a cruel mistake"
After little silence BIN rose from
the ground. She stood, for a moment,
wiping her eyes. Her form straight
ened and was presently erect. Her
soul resented the injustice she had
suffered. There was wonderful and
touching dignity in her voice and
manner when she asked: "Why didn't
he write to me?"
"He must have written to you."

WHERE HOTELS ARE UNKNOWN
In Any Tent, Conforming to Sim
pie Rules of Etiquette.

Travellers on the steppes of Mon.
in any village they encounter Every
Mongolian is hospitality itself, provid.
ing the traveller has judgment enough
to conform to the simple rules of
etiquette. OF course, he will have to
tie down beside the lambs and calves
of the household, just as do the mem
bers of the family.
From whatever side of a tent the
traveller approaches he must be sure
to ride up to it from the front. When
he is within a short distance he must
stop and shout 'nohoi," which means
dog. This is a safety measure, be-
cause the dogs are wolf-like and fierce.
The people hurry out to call off the
dogs, and If he Is on foot he keeps
them back, as best he can, with a
stick.
Once q traveller enters a tent he
says 'mendu," or greeting. AS dogs
do not attack inside a tent it is an
insult to carry stick inside. He sits
at the left side of tie T e-place, with
his feet curled up under him. If he
can't do this he sits with his feet
stretched toward the door. Then he
exchanges snuff boxes with the fam.
ily. When he leaves, next morning, he
bows and smiles, as the Mongols have
no custom equivalent to hand-shaking

They had a happy half-hour at the
table, Mrs. Brfmstead being in better
spirits since her husband had got back
to his farming. Annabel, her form
filling with the grace and charm of
womanhood, was there and more
cOmely than ever.
They had been speaking OF Jack
Kelso's death.
II heard him say cOnoe that when
he saw beautiful young face 1T re

''Td rather see the face" Joe re-
marked, whereupon they all laughed
and the boy bluShed to the roots of
his blond hair.
He's become a man OF good tudg-

Annabers sister Jane, who had
chung to the wagon in No Santa Claus
Land, was a bright-eyed, merry
hearted girl of twelve. The boy Rob-
ert was a shy, good-lookingla had a little
older than Josiah.

asked.
"I wouldn't mind,' said Josiah who,
on the lonely prairie, had had few
companions Of his own age.
So it happened that Samson went
on alone. Near the sycamore woods
he came upon a gray-haired man lying
by the roadside with horse tethered
near him. The stranger was sick with
a fever. Samson got down from his
horse.

Samson gave him some of the medi-

from his canteen.

asked presently.
"NO, but feel better-glory to

The Peacock's Feet.
{Communicated)

A resident of Donaldsonville was
showing a visitor the town. Driving
along Mississippi street he pointed
out the points of interest somewhat
in this fashion: There is our Cathollc
church, replica of one Of Europe,s
famous churches; there is our hotel,
and the handsome marble building on
the corner is the Bank of Ascension;
over there is a picture theatre, and
over on that corner is one Of our
large wholesale and retail stores ;
across the way is our electric light and
waterworks plant and next to it is an
up-to-date bottling plant. Returning
to Railroad avenue: There is the Com
mercial and Savings Bank, and across
is the Elks' home; over there is an
other moving picture theatre, and OPP
posite is sanitarium. So on. down
the avenue, across the track and onto
the bayou road; his friend seeming
very much interested, but keeping
an eye open on his own account. just
as they reached the edge Of town, the
visitor noticed an old darkey in a
pasture industriously manipulating the
handle of delapidated pitcher pump
and, pointing to him, said: "and that,
II presume, is the pumping station for
your sewerage system!' Last report
from the sanitarium was, 'He has had
q very severe shock, but will recover!'

Many on Moonlight Excursion.

A large number Of people assembled
at the wharf last Wednesday evening
to see the magnificent and palatial
steamer Capitol, which gave a river
excursion from this point that night.
The handsomely bedecked and bril-
liantly illuminated craft presented a
picture of great beauty and elegance,
which was pleasing to behold and the
sweet music dispensed by the band
was treat to all those who had the
good fortune to come within reach
of it's inspiring strains. The boat
pulled out at 8 o'clock with over 200
people aboard. The majority being
dancing couples, while many went
to enjoy the music. The steamer
went up stream as far as the Iberville
parish line and returned to the wharf
at midnight. The dance fans of this
city and vicinity tripped the light
fantastic toe to their hearts content,

joyed themselves by walking along

A humming noise which could be
heard for miles away, heralded the
arrival here yesterday shortly before
II o'clock of threee mammoth sea-
planes from the Pensacola navy yard
The big flying machines attracted
much attention as they circled over
the city and fair grounds, giving ex-
hibitions in maneuvre which were
watched with keen interest and great
ly appreciated by all. After circling
gracefully around several times they
alighted on the river, where they
were viewed and inspected by hun
dreds of admiring people.
At 10 o'clock today the planes gave
another flying exhibition which was
greatly enjoyed by the people of this
city and vicinity and those at the fair
The giant machines presented grand
spectacle as they glided swiftly over
the waters of the Mississippi, rising
slowly as huge birds and circling
around until they had reached high
altitude. AS they meved over the
city at an elevation of several hun
dred feet they resembled monster
birds with outstretched wings riding
leisurely on the wind. The planes
will remain here until next Monday.

Jess Martin, the young white man,
who was arrested sometime ago and
lodged in Jail, suspected of being the
one who attempted to burglarize the
residence of Jos. Guinchard, and la
ter of entering the yard of George
Folse, was released from custody last
Friday, and has left town. Sometime
after his arrest Martin employed an
attorney, who sued out writ of ha-
beas corpus. The writ was tried be-
fore Judge Leblanc Wednesday OF
last week, and denied. AS no evil
dence was adduced showing him to
be the man who had attempted the
Guinchard home burglary, this charge
fell, and there only remained against
him the charge of trespass, for hav-
ing entered the yard of Mr.. Folse,
but in this case the witnesses were
not positive in their Identification and

of vagabondage. . This charge was
subsequently withdrawn upon the
promise of Martin to leave town. I'm

Highwayman in Hoe.

Rene Courreges was arrested by
Officers Lawless and Acosta near the
levee at the head Of St. Vincent
street at about 8 o'clock last Sunday
morning and lodged in Jail, charged
with attempted highway robbery. It
seems that Louis Wunstell, in passing
in front of the Catholic church be-
tween 2:30 and 3 o'clock Sunday
morning, was halted by man whose
face was covered with a handker-
chief and who carried gan. Wun-
stell was commanded to come across
with his money, to which he replied
that IL his assailant, whom he says
he recognized, thought he was a bet
ter man than he to come on and take
it. The man then ordered him to
run, and when Wunstell refused. the
hold-up man broke out in a run him
self going out St. Vincent street to-
wards the river with Wunstell in hot
pursuit, after running for some dis
tance, the man realizing that his pur-
suer was gaining on him turned
around and fired one shot. Wun-
stell thereuponed stopped the pur-
suit and hunted up the officers to
whom he related his experiences.
Messrs. Lawless and Acosta hid near
the spot where the young man was
seen to go over the levee and waited.
A few minutes later he emerged from
his hiding place and was nabbed by
the officers.
