(Copyright, 1309, by American Press Asso ciation. "The old fashioned light of the far west." 8n I J the vi'lorun from Idaho, "has died out with the stnj;econch. Now ond thou there's some monkey ; business Ruiu' ou there, but It's not ' what It used to be. I've seen and . henrd of a uuiuIkt of 'em. but none In my reiiieinlirntie for reel lijjlillii'. sicli ! m men tight who're coin' to light at nil equals that between McGuIre and Wiry nwny back lu the Of tics. The fust of It nil was a dispute over cards. It didn't amount to much, ex cept it tn;u!e bnd blood between the two men. Afterwnrd they met on n ranch, and Itlley accused McCuIre of purposely braudln stock as didn't be long to blm. McGuIre tried to kill him then and there, but was Interfered with by Kiloy's friends. Soon after that some one, knowiu' that the two men were bound to have it out, sug gested to McGuIre that they go off alone for the fight McGuIre agreed and sent word to Riley that he'd meet him the next momlu at suuup on the trail between Beeswax and Bully creek and they would then and there settle whether or no he had branded stock thas wasn't bis'n. Riley agreed. There wasn't no seconds, no surgeons nor any of the claptrap that men hare in toy duels. They was Just goln' oat to fight "Well, the next morn in', when It was still dark, McGuIre mounted his horse and rode off toward the trait There bad been nothin aald about weapons, each man bein' left to take what be thought he could do the most damage with. McGuIre carried two six shoot ers and a knife. As be rode along the stars waa a-dyln' out and there was consid'able light where the sun waa glttln' ready to come up. Be looked toward the few little shanties that waa Beeswax and saw aomepln black comin' from that direction. It waa j Riley, and he was armed Just about as i McGuIre was. They was a mile apart "Not wantln' to bring on the fight too near Beeswax, McGuIre waited awhile, then moved on alow. When Riley got Into range McGuIre suddenly ducked under his horse's neck and fired. Ills bullet didn't do any dam age at all. Riley he ducked Indian fashion, too, and fired. Both on 'em was rldln' around In a circle lookln' for a clmitre to plug the other. Finally i'ilcy's hone went down, hit by one of McGulre'a bullets. Riley, knowln' this would give his enemy an advan tage, shot McGulre's horse, and each made a breastwork of bis animal. "Riley got the first plug, McGuIre cut tin' a scratch around the side of his bead that filled his sboottn' eye with blood. He put his handkerchief under his bat to ketch It and kept on Oghtin'. "Before the dozen shots each of 'em started with was exhausted both of 'era bad three or four wounds. Nei ther of 'em dared go out from behind bis horse till then, but when the last shots bod been fired tbey started for each other with knives. Both on 'em staggered as tbey eyed escb other. watcbin' for a chance to git In a blow. Bat they waa both about equally tuck ered out. and neither on 'em had an advantage, and neither on 'em could git lu a stroke to kill. "By this time the poplatlon of the three huts that made up the town o' Beeswax, beln' wakened by the shots. co;ut out to see the show. I was one on 'em. McGuIre and Riley was hack In' ut each other, both ataggerin' from Ions o blood, bavin more of It outside tu.in Inside and Just enough in their blinkers to keep 'em from secln' where to strike. It was a beautiful sight, 1 tell you. these two game men sett I Id' their dispute In true manly fashion, without seconds or surgeons. "BInieby tbey got so weak and so blind that their blows waa nothin' that a four-year-old boy couldn't dodge; then tbey stopped altogether. We picked 'em vp and carried 'em to the town. There waan't but one room that could be spared, and wt pnt 'em oa bunks aide by aide. Each on 'em had from ten to fifteen wounds, and they was pretty well played out, but we watched 'em for awhile, tblnkln' If tbey got strong enough they'd go at each other agln. Ton see. we didn't want 'em to die on our hands, we to send for serial things and nothin' to pay for 'em. "We did git a doctor for 'em. and bt looked out for 'em both. lis said he thought Riley would die, though be couldn't be sure about either on 'em. It was some time before either knew enough to understand what was goln on and longer before they could aay anything. We was speculatln' whether when they got np they'd call the fight off. start In for s new one, or what, when on morn in' when the son was shlnln' In on 'em peaceful Riley be reached out his band, took hold C Mc Gulre's and says be, bo says: " 'Beckon you didn't brand no stock that didn't belong to you.' "Wo was surprised to sos McGnlre take his hand, and bo says, says be. Tou're game anyway.' "It was two months before they got op and another before they could git sway. When they did they rode off fust rate friends. "No, s tree; there slnt no such game fights now as they was then. The sand has gone ovt of "Game lighter replied the listener. That's what they were game fights, or better named dogfights. Such men are only large gamecocks, and even that sort of fighting has disappeared under more civilised conditions. The country where what yon call these game fights took piaee is bow being covered with dwellings, schools, eot lsgsa tad chorches.' EREGAME FARM WORK PAYS WELL tVivcctment Concerns Are' Forced to Advertise In tha Northweat. Duriug the last few months It has become harder and harder to secure fr.rtu mortgages un which to loan money. The fanning districts recently have been actually scoured for farm its needing ready money. The situa tion Is such that, with plenty of mon ey available to let:d on farms and uo farmers In need of that money, the ' u -mil rate of tS per cent l.t being pared i down to ii'i and eveu ns low ns 5 per cent. J This at least Is the outline of exist- ! Ins conditions, particularly wl'.h ref- ! ereticc to Miiimvotit and the two Pit kolas, given by ilia nt 'Van Sant, who has been active lu securing mortgages In this connection fi r a farm K an con cern. Whatever the farmer may le dolus with himself, ho Is not asking for money. He may not Ikj sending ns much at the general store; he may not be restocking Ids farm or replacing his machinery, but at any rate he scorns proffered loans, even at low rates. It is not thought, however, that he Is neglecting to improve his plant or Is foregoing the pleasure of elevat ing his standard of living somewhat. Puch abnegation would hardly lie con sistent In a )Mrson with a big balance In the bank and a check book in his pocket The gradual development of this sit uation has been coming on for some time. Two or three years ago farmer needed money occasionally and gladly offered wortgnges. Gradually this di minished little by little until now. ex cept In the case of extraordinary cir cumstances, the worker of a farm not only la Indifferent to Investors, but Is seeking to do a little Investing on his own account Farm loan institutions. It Is said, first worked through Minnesota offer ing money. Then came the two Da kota. Now agenta of these concerns are going through Montana In the un pleasant hope of finding some unfor tunate possibly who wants "to mort gage the farm." Their quest has not been particularly encouraging. As Indicative of the paucity of avail able mortgages a hapHulng lu a well known farm loan company may be cited. An eastern Investor came In and called for 100.000 In farm loam, secured by mortgages, which must be delivered within a year. Simultaneous ly he wrote out a check for $1.1.ih and asked for Immediate Investment. The company was able to place only $4,000 of It and now has gone to the expedient of advertising for mort gages. Trim Small Fruit. Now Is s good time to trim the rasp berry and blackberry fields. Not much fruit can be expected from feeble canes, and even the best canes will not give much fruit If they are too close together. Manure or fertilizer la also required. Blackberry fields have been known to give good service for years without fertilizers, but If the field Is given good cultivation and well sup piled with plant food the Increased yield and better quality of the fruit will make some unprofitable fields pay welL Cleaning a Well. Before going down Into a well test tbe purity of the air by lowering a lighted candle or lantern. If tbe light burns dimly or goes out the poisonous carbonic acid gas "damps" can be driven out by igniting s quantity of turpentine and sawdust or kerosene and rags in a kettle and lowering It to the surface of tbe water, and then later pour several bucket fuls of water Into the well from tbe top. Test again with tbe lantern and note the Improve ment. We want our folks to be on tbe safe side. Farm Journal. Rapid Hedge Trimmer.
