There had been considerable chaf fing, variegated Tvith especially lurid ilhistraiibng of the possibilities of profanity, on the merits of the two bulls, and for peveral nights the smoke hung low over the camp fire3, as if listening, too awe-stricken to rise,, to the various stories of their prowess in former struggles. Mur cheson's men were to the westward of the trail, but they came over to Zingman's round-up, two miles to the ejpt, every evening to talk over their buii, and speculate on the chancea if Zingman's men felt the spirit of own ership in anything they want to pit against him. But Zingman's people hesitated. They had a bull, Texas, which had killed everything he had tackled, and they thought it an un fair -advantage to turn -him loose against so manifestly an inferior ani mal as Murcheson's 1'Wild Bill," though they couldn't call to miud any other animal they were willing to risk money on. Thib7position broke up the poker gained 'and gave ripe to some pro nounced polemics. If wind could have settled the dispute it would have been decided In favor of both - sides. Belying on the anecdotes re lated of each, one would suppose that a contest between them could only result in the termination of time. Murcheson's men were a unit in the statement that on one occasion ""Wild Biliiad rushed his adversary down, and, unable to stop his headway, had gone home with a Baptist church on his horns. Zingman's people conced ed the possibility of thi-, but main tained and proved conclusively by the testimony of each other that 'Texas" had on one occasion picked up an earthquake on his horns and held it there until it agreed never to visit that section again if he would let it go. On this htate of facts it was obvious that nothing but a meet ing could definitely determine the su periority, and the duel was arranged for Sunday morning. The fight was to come off on neutral ground, mid way between the two herds. Every cowboy was to have his weapons be hind him, a judicious prrcautioa, since the cowboy pibtol has a super natural method bf discharging itself, without reference to material causes. Each side was to remain behind its own bull, and neither to approach the fracas closer than 300 jards, the winners to take all the money to be found on the persons or in the pos session of the losers. Bright and early Sunday morning, the grass still shining in thojlew, and XBM guu'gomm'Bymu vvwrj ivar ise of a glorious prairie day, the bulls were cut out of their respective herds and driven to the battle ground. A man who has never seen a Texas ,bnll doesn't know how much fight can oe tiea up in one niae. oirong and wiry, not .too heavy in the flank, short of horn and quick in action, he was built to fight, and contrives to .-discharge his mission without involv ing himself in the slightest unneces sary complication. Lashed to mad ness by the whips of the cowboys laid on meroilessly to arouse their rage, the two "bulls came in sight of each other, and the backers withdrew. JBy nature a Texas bull is all tho time as mad as he can get, until he sees another bull, then the thermometer othis wrath goes to boiling point "As they spied each other their heads went down and their tails up. They approached slowly and with a sinuous motion, pawing the ground and moaning. "Texas" appeared a little the larger of the two, and he was as fully as active as his foe. A Jbrnndred paces apart they fairly sprang from the earth, and the bel low and the crash of meeting min gled together as the ground trembled -beneath them. "Texas1' had tho best of it, for "Wild Bill" reooiled to his haunches, but the game little bull re covered first, and in the next attack gored "Texas" under the head, near Jy,reacbing his throat The onslaught "was sib unexpected that ' Texas," still dased by the first shook, failed to counter on iiis adversary. But the next rush found him prepared, and nexeceived his enemy full on the Jfag&iead, driving him again to his launches. Before "Bill" could rally 'Texas" had raised the flesh off his nigh fore-shoulder bone." The smell of his own blood crazed the little bull, and his next dash was not straight He struck Texas ob .liquely, throwing up the head of the latter, and then turning, before he had passed, he ripped up the b'"g bull's off fore-leg. catching him behind the shoulder and tearing out the muscles, cords "and tendons. Though badly lamed, Texas was not vanquished. Once more he bore the little bull "down, but Bill was the least injured of the two, and, struggling to his feet, he buried a horn in the old wound. It is doubtful if he knew what damage he- had done, for he was halt blind with his adversary's blood. Texas awaited tho next rush where he stood, nor was he kept in suspense. Bill was at him in a mom ent, but the big .bull, sadly hurt, windedtand tired, held his head high, and Bill caught him between the fore-legs, ripping him to the neck be fore he tore away. Then "Texas" turned, and a shout from his backers announced his do feat With a yell of victory and derision Murcheson's men dashed down and drove their bull back to the herd. Three hours later the two herds were in motion again, but 3Xur "mboVs people were enriched to the xtent of all cash whereof Zingman's men had been seized at the time the duel began. staggering slowly and painfully -down the trail, "Texas'1 limped while uhis way back to the ranch from lgoh"she cam He couldn't go 6k to, his herd, for the 'cows will trore a defeated bull to death. There was no effort to bind up his wounds; ,. jiiwyidicln't-even offer to lead him to water. And so alone he wandered .A-ma.Vi beaten, disgraced and griev- i.1.a .mhmmia a.W i. m ltf-41.1 ?li1n JT WUIUIUCU) OUU 1U Ik llkklU IT UMO loittoa Bight in the dust that bJM0B&-tfleJiraine' CONGRESSIONAL. HOUSE. WAsmsoTox. May 2L The house resumed consideration of the Indiana election case of Eng lish vs. Peelle. . Blackburn supported the claims of contestee. After considerable debate Peelle addressed the house in his own be half, and English's claims were advo cated by Hurd, Springer, Henley and Converse. Hart then offered as a substitute for the majority resolution the reso lution of the minority, confirming the right of Peelle to the seat During progress of the vote there was a great deal of interest mani ested. English sat at hi 3 desk in the first row, and kept tally. Looking over his shoulder stood his father, and a number of members, watching each vote in tently. At the conclusion, when it was evi dent the resolution was agreed to, Springer, who had voted in the nega tive, changed his vote to the affirm ative, for the purpose of moving a re consideration. The vote was then announced yeas 121, nays 117 Springer immediately moved a re consideration, and Hart moved to lay that motion on the table, pending which Converse moved to adjourn, and the motion was carried yeas 119, najs 118, amid applause on the Demo cratic sido.

The word is the reporter's shield. He goes forth to the hunt armed with it It is as much a part of his equipment as his pen, and quite as essential. Without it ho is timid. Behind it ho is val iant. Were the word suddenly blot ted out of tho vocabulary, a revolu tion in tho character of journalism would follow; the spirit of onterprise which now pervades the rank and file of the profession would be wofully embarrassed; tho public would suffer greatly for want of information; facts would not be known until they were accomplished. "Alleged" is a speoial product of the nineteenth century and must take high position along with other im portant inventions of the era. In the olden times a statement either embraced a truth or a lie. These were the grand classifications. Your "Alleged" strikes a medial line, and wo now liave throe genera truths, lie3 and allegations. The newspaper that tells a lie makes fees for the sheriff; but the newspaper that finds a lie in circulation and re ports it, under tho protecrion of "al leged," escapes oensure and assault The word is often made to serve scan dalous purposes, but all blessings are liable to abuse; it has a most useful employment, and it must not be con demned for its sins without its vir tues be first reckoned. Calling On The Lord. Our county is in debt some $45,000, and our scrip is selling at a big dis oount, and for God's sake let us look about us and see where wo are before wo get in any deeper. Seattle Post Intelligencer. A Gorman philosopher says that "if man is tho final product of Nature the best, highest and most beautiful she can evolve then Nature herself is a blunder." But man is not the best and most beautiful product she can evolve or has evolved. Did the German philosopher never see an American woman ? o, SIR.
