' . I Bom in Bnffab about thirty years ago he 1 came weal at an early age, and became I ; pretty well known as "Kid Prank." After ' , leading an adrreturous life he married a 1 wclLbwlo Mexican woman, and by her < . aceored a fine ranch forty miles square in I old Mexico, on the San Pedroe river, cloae I j to the line. He became known far and 1 I wide by his skill lir shooting, and was 1 generally avoided by men (karroos of kill. 1 some one for the sake of notoriety. « herd grew rapidly nntil about four ■ months ago. when lie found hit brand oo « 8000 head of cattle, worth nearly #100,- I 000. He determined to act! 3500 brad, ! and gathering up 1500 head more he start- ' ed to drive to Denver, a distance of nearly ' 1500 miles. His ootfit consisted of thirty- c cow boys, and Prank took command of ' the expedition. The trip waa a very long c aod severe one, but using great care the a were small. The party started May » and made a slow march across the 11 plains and trackless wastes of 1 Arizona and New Mexico, until Seplem- 11 8 found tbem fifty miles north of Trini- * dad and an equal distance cast of Cocbsr- 1 The Kelly outfit went Into eamp for ' a day near the camp of George Howard, b cuttle grower. The latter had a herd of P cattle, and commanded 28 cow boya • two herds became mixed up while b traveling close together, and Howard made » _ a claim for cattle which Kelly coosidcrcd

j unjnrt, and refused U. This angered n o w - , ard. and words followed. Kelly claimed ] Howard had aomc of bis cattle, and offered to exchange; but the Uftler refused, and [ the quarrel became very dangerous. Tbe j cow boys oo each side gathered around e and began to handle their wcapona in a manner which indicated that they roearu j business. . Kelly aaw the danger. He know if a fight should occur between such deadly 3 marksmen there would hardly he a man left to tell tbe tale, and In addition to tbe , loss of human life the huge herds of cattle would be scattered and ail hands ruined. , Just as the cloud of war was about to burat . he conceived a plan to avoid bloodshed, , and broached it to Howard, who agreed lo iL The plan was aa follows; Each was to aeltct six cow boys, the best shoU in , their outfits, and, placing them in line fifty yards distant on horseback, to give the word "Fire!" and let tbem settle the disr pule. This novel method of settling a difference was hailed with delight by the . men on each aide, and volunteers were numerous Kelly selected six men who , had been with him a long lime, aod been . tried and proved In many a desperate sitoa- , Pon. Howard selected six of his best men. , There waa no lime hist in preparing for the duel, which was to be tbe grcatett af- 1 fair of tbe kind ever known. Tbe men of tbe Opposing sides retired to their camp ' , aod coolly made preparations for tbe feast ; of dealh. Tbey groomed their horses, i oiled and cleaned their revolvers, and, putting their saddles oo with care, rode ' out to the flghL "Kid' Frank's" men • were armed with Winchester, revolvers, i 89 and « calibre, long barreled, and . t Howard's six carried Coil's improved. 1 Each man knew his weapoc and his bores, ; and all were fully aware of tbe fact that tbe men standing ao grimly in (rout of ' tbem were equally were equipped. I Tbe opposing duelists were drawn up i [J in line faring each other at 8 o'clock in I

r tbe afternoon. Tbe sight was ooe which ^ few nca have looked upon. Fifty yards 1 d apart stood like stature two linn of men, 1 r hone and rider almost one, every duelist 1 ' grasping a huge, glittering revolver in 1 ' each hand, with tbe reins In his teeth or 1 hanging loosely, for these dare-devil riders 1 of the Booth guide their bona with tbe 1 knots, as the scarcely more savage Indian " *• does. Around about, carelessly In tbe ' range of stray bullets, were the friends of both parties, mounted on thgir horses, 7 wslching the fight and to see that no ad- I vantage ahoold be taken. At either aide was the chief who bad sent these men oui " to die. Over all brooded a deathlike 1 7 silence, while on all the swelling, rolling, < >• silent plain shooe the gold of tbe bright 1 September sun. The man who waa de- 1 7 tailed lo give the ward which was destined ' to create a whirlwind of death started fov- ■ 1 ward. At the fins move there was a ' f ehivre ctf life along both lines, but it was J: not a shiver of fear Each man stralgfa- f tened himself, grasped his pistols tbe 1 firmer and singled out bis opponent. Tbe 1 * umpire lifted hit hand, and suddenly on 1 the still air came the cry of doom, "Fire!" I v At the word twelve bones bounded far- 1 wild end twelve pistol shots rang ouL 1 Three of Howard's men threw up their 1 " hands aod fell from their horaea, whUc * only ooe of Kelly', men felL Kelly's men not heeding their oomrade'a death, ' 0 aped straight toward the three men in front 8 of them. Tbe latter dropped their pit- « ' tola in their bridle bands aod pulled their 1 * horses up, while their five, enemies came • " riding swiftly oo, pouring a haO of buBeta * ' in from a pistol in every band. Tbe ' ' Howard men saw the odds Tbey were too (real, and turning swiftly, tbey ran. turning In their saddles as tbey flew, and 1 bravely returning tbe fire. In three brief ■ minutes the dud waa fought and won, ' and four dead men lay upon the ground. 1 ' Frank rode up to Howard and aaid: "Now * - you aod I will settle with each other." ■ "No," replied Howard, as ha looked i f sadly at the dead mem "I am satisfied." 1 "Very wril," said Kelly, and orders I 1 were given to exchange the cattle. c Very aumngely, no news of tbe fight » was received until yesterday; but this, ' perhaps, waa doe lo the fact that no towns r ' were pasased by the Kelly oulflL Only ' ' he himself las arrived, his bred not being " due for two weeks yeL Kelly himseir is 1 s sunburned, manly -looking young fellow, 1 ' and told the story in a matter-of-fact wsy ' r which would hardly attract aUeoUoo. * 1 Alas, that ao many people look upon ' I religion simply aa a fire-escape I ,

* Bon-l.c/srO HCS,UP Tbere is a case coming before a Chicago Court that will be of great interest to Ibouj sands of people , W ho long desired a docir 'ton oo some of the points that will be , developed. It Teems that a young man, ; a mombre of one of the Chicago clubs, a . gentleman of wealth and refinement, is to r sued by the father of a young woman for ; #50,000 damages for injuries tlist his . daughter received while in his societyI The young people bad been keeping com- I . pany for some years, and the carriage of I I tbe young man was often seen in froot of j , J the Michigan avenue residence of the lady, j . Last December be ceased visiting her, and since that time she has been an invalid, j and has been treated for a spinal difficulty, and the father wHLgo into the Courts, it | It said against his daughter's wish, lo have tbe matter of responsibility settled. ; It seems thst tbe young man is bow. i so much so that it has always been considered dangerous for any one to sit in ! > lap. for fear they would fall through oo the floor, aod break some bones. It is I said that tbe young man knows his failing, j and that he usually holds any person who i be lo his lap, with his anna, so that ; there is no danger of their falling throngh, ; " but that in this case he forgot the danger. I aod let the girl slip. Tbe father claims ! ■ that the young man, knowing how fear. ! I and wonderfully be is made, should ' adopted precautions, aod in bis com ' t plaint be will swear that on several occa- j ' be should place a board across his lap, or | 1 day his parenthesis legs would let j ' d somebody through. In bis answer lo the '

.. complaint the young man will amy That I d his legs are just at nature made them, I >. and that anybody who sits in fits' lap lake j d their chances. He adds that if the girl , e had used all the precaution that one in so d dangerous a position should use, and a thrown ber arms around bis neck, as j l others have done, tbere need have been' no danger, and while he sympathizes J a deeply with her and her family, owing to ' i the alleged injury, be cannot consider a himself responsible. Of course there arc j e two sides to every questioo, and both ■ e sides will have sympathizers. While wc i . do not with to take sides on this question, i I t there are some things connected with it i , that it seems a duty of the pious press lo j 1 agitate. Tbe couotry is full of bow-h-g- , I s g«I young men, going about seeking ' ' 1 whom they may bold in their laps, and ' r lite wonder is that more such accidents do i c not occur. There should be some law to i . protect girls from bow-legged men. Wc ! I throw safeguards around our trapeze per. 1 s formers by compelling the .managers to » place nets under tbem, and why should : ) we not provide by law that the bow-h-g- I j ged young man should string a hammot k i . under his boomerang legs, to catch those t . who may lose their spring balance, turn a < . discontent. It would not be pleasant lo r [ the bow-lrgged young man to be coir, i > polled to carry a hammock when be aamt t to see bit girl, as it would he safer for the ' , girl. We have known a cacrful young man t , who waa bow-legged, to lays press board, ; s or s chess board, ore sewing-machine leaf, i , scross bis lap before he would let a girl 1 , ait down amongst him; but where one I 1 young man is thus careful, there are bun- I . droda who never think of the other hearts : , that are liable to ache. I Inventors have studied in vain on a der vice for protecting poople from the dangers of bow-legs, and doctors who atraigh. I ten cruas-cycs have tried to alraigbtcn

i but nothing seems to avail, i of girls and women aa they , read this will shudder at the narrow esthey have bad from falling through t mantraps, and they will unite with ua in , the hope that tbe law will protect tbem. r O, of ooanc, there are some who would , never fall through, though the legs jrere . bowed twice aa much as tbcy are, hut i many are ao careless tbey are never Afo . —[Burlington Hawkeyc. , the CAkago Trtbon*.- , "I am cutting my corns. " : Aa the words floated out opon the soft , air of a June afternoon and fell upon the ear of Berwick Helheriogton, who was ! twinging lazily in a hammock that bung , the larches, be smiled the cold I cynical smile be had learned in Kenosha, . and then be raised himself oo ooe elbow , and fell nut of the hammock. , Tbe noise attracted Eulalie McGlriygirt's attention, and the came to tbe window, holding a shoe in ber band. Leanout over the casement, aha waa about offer words of condolence and sympathy to Berwick, when ber foot slipped, and tbe loud crash of furniture which followed ao sullied lite girl that she dropped the shoe. . . . . v . "Will this patient ever recover f" asked i a visitor At a noted insane asylum. "It la a hopeless case," replied the physician. "He was brought to the hospital nearly two years ago dreadfully mangled, and when his health was restored reason ' had fled. His one idea is that the coort "We have kept the secret well, daughter," aaid Mrs. MoGlrlygirt to Eulalie ooe ] summer afternoon. "Yea," was the reply.
