OLD BILL HAMILToN's STRANGE
DUEL WITH AN ENGILSHMAN

One OF the greatest Of the old-time
mountain men In western history was
William T. Hamilton, or "Old Bill"
early days In Montana. His strange
duel with an Englishman Is historic.
Old Bill had offended the Englishman
In some way, and the Britisher chal-
lenged him to q duel.
"All right; I'll hght you" said Old
Bill. "Rut 1 get to name the weap-
ons and rules for the hght"
The Englishman agreed, and this
Is what Hamilton decided: Each man
was to strip to the skin, 60 out to the
Yellowstone river, and with an az
chop hole in the ice. Then the two
men were to get down In these holes
and sit I'm the water up to their shOul-
ders. The flrst to leave this Icy bath
was the loser.
The contest began. The Englishman
stood IL for few minutes. Then
with a wild yell he leaped out and,
with his teeth chattering, ran for q
house and a stove as fast as he could
Old Bill followed close on his heels
calling the shivering Britisher every
name in his vocabulary. Old Bill was
declared winner Of the duel. 1t had
been no hardship for Hamilton. He
had lived among the Indians and was
as hardy as they. He is said to have
been the only white man Of his time
who could strip naked, take a bow anG
arrows and shoot buffalo from horse
back as well as the savages, will
whom he lived.
Hamilton finally settled down at
Fort Benton, Mont, where he opened
a log cabin hotel and butcher shop
The governor of Montana appointed
him sheriff Of Choteau county. and he
was also deputy United States mar
shal. In 1865 the governor asked hin
to visit the Grow and Gros Ventre In
dians and persuade them to come II
to Fort Benton to make peace.
"But how can 1 goT' said Old Bill
IL have to look after my eatin' hous,
and butcher shop and tend to my duties
as sheriff and marshal. I've got tive
prisoners on hand now and no jail t,
keep 'em In"
Finally he consented and, accom-
panied only by an Indian boy, he mad,
the dangerous trip. After series o
eXcitina adventures he returned II
safety, bringing the two tribes witt
him to the council.
Old Bill died in 1908 at the age %
eighty-slx. He was always proud o
the fact that he had been a scout 10
the United States army, and to tli
day of .hs death he kept the Star
and Stripes floating over the little lo
| cabin where he lived.

twenty will be Poland Chinas.
An invitation is extended to all who
al. o.erested to attend this sale, says
Prof. Starkey, whether they intend

for this reason it will be a good op
portunity for farmers to get some

Thomas GainsborOugh when she was

The duchess was wed at seventeen,
and by her twentieth year had become

She soon was noted for her taste in
dress and was one Of the first English
women who ever had the courage to
question Paris fashions, setting a few
Of her own.
The leading men Of the day gathered
around her, among them Sheridan, the
playwright, and Fox, the politician.
She had especial favor for these two,
and when Fox was hard pressed in an
election she went about the London
streets soliciting votes for him, which
caused much talk. The duchess did
not seem 10 care. Her beauty was q
ready persuader. One day a butcher,
bolder than the rest, offered to sell
his vote for kiss, which she prompt

famous lines about a butcher and a

DESTROY BOIL wEEvIL
WINTER QUARTERS

Clemson College, Jan. 12.-"So far
the weevil has not suffered serious

says Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomolo-
gist, in answering inquiries about the
the probable infestation next session.
"It is entirely possible that we may
yet have very cold weather, but with
pest as serious as the boil weevil, it
is necessary that we consider every
possibility. There are yet many fields
with stalks and stubble on them,
many unkept ditch banks, many un-
kept orchards, and many margins of
woods offering shelter to this pest.
