Dandreegb, A DUEL BETWEEN HORSES. .Vlra cr, which is the right-hand branch of the Rio Grande, the Fecoff plains were a favorite grazing ground for vast herds of wild horses. For years later there were plenty of wild po int's on the western plains, but in the days of hieh I write there were herds of good, big horses, Borne of them stand ing seventeen hands high and weighiug ,:'00 or 1,400 pounds. I went into New Mcxi.-o with a Government surveying party, which was of semi-military chnr ncJer. A survey of that portion of the lUo' Pecos lying in New Mexico was to be made, and there was to be a military post located between Tope's Wells and the Benita River. The country between was a phiin 100 miles long by 200 broad, with many small streams and rich feed ing spots. The herds of horses had been seldom disturbed by white hunters, and whenever the Indians wanted a supply they f-electel the ponies in preference, believing that they were the soonest broken and would 6tand the hardest rid ing. We were well into the plains before wo saw an7 horses, and the first herd we saw came very near bringing about a calami ty. We were encamped in a bend of the 1'ecos, and the surveyors and guards had just come in for dinner. There was a truce between the whites and the Indians of that date, but our party was a strong one, and the surveyors never went out without protection. A truce meant that the redskins would not kill if the other party was the stronger. We had two ambulances, three or four wagons, and from seventy to eighty horses. These last were staked out on the rich feeding ground. With no more warning than that wo felt a trembling of the earth and heard a great clatter, a drove of wild horses numbering at ?enst five hundred came . charging around a heavily wooded point directly at our camp. The stream in front of onr camp was about Mas two feet deep find ran over a bed of gravel, and the horses were probably in the habit of coming here to drink. The herd was led 1 v a sorrel stallion of magnificent look and limb, and was going at such a pace that tiie leaders were among our animals hefore a man of us moved. Nothing will rattle a domestic horse like the near presence of his wild brother. A stampede of bniValos simply terrifies him, and in his error he will act like a fool. The wild horse excites and makes him forget for the moment that he is man's slave, and he will do his very best to throw oil the yoke of servitude and join the herd. It was well we were all together. Every man rushed for the horses, yelling and shouting to drive the intruders away, hut when they went two of our mules find a horse went with them. The horse was a five year-old stallion, worth at le:is.t &-.00, and his flight created in stant dismay in the camp. The mules1 would not be allowed to "chum" with the herd tmvhow, and could be picked up after t'hev had tried their legs ft ht.le, but" the horse might never be seen again. A score of us mounted in hot haste and setoff to recapture him. The herd Lai gone due west, in which direction a rise of ground hid them after a short run As we reached this rise very man of us checked his horse. Be low us was an almost circular valley about half a mile across, and in this val ley the herd had come to a halt. It seemed that the presence of our horse had aroused the ire of the sorrel leader of the herd, and that the question of championship had come up to be settled at once. The two stallions were between us and the herd, and were already skir mishing. Every one of the horses had his head toward the pair, and was an in tenstcd spectator. At any other time our presence would have put them to flight, but under the circumstances they gave us no attention. Now occurred a combat the like of which few men have ever witnessed. The horses Morn pretty evenly matched for size. Our champion had an advan tiige in being shod, but to offset this the sorrel v. as quicker. Their move ments showed the broad disparity be tween wild and domestic life. Our horse was agile and smart, as tbe Serais go, but the sorrel had the suppleness of a panther. As boxers feint for an opening, so these horses skirmished for an advantage. They approached until their noses almost met, and then reared up with shrill neighs, struck at each other, and came down to wheel, and kick. The iron shoes of our horse hit nothing but air, but we heard tho double thud of the sorrel's hind feet as he sent them home. They ran off to wheel and come together again and re- ! peat the same tactics, and again our horse got the worst of it. He was a headstrong, high strung beast, and. his temper was now up. When he wheeled the third time he came back with a rush, Bcreamiug out in his anger. The sorrel turned end for end like a flash to use his heels, but our champion dodged the kicks and seized him by the Bhonlder with his teeth. There was a terrific struggle before the hold was broken, and then they l acked into each other, and kicked with all fury for a few sec- onds. Every hoof hit something solid, but the iron shoes of onr horsa scored a point in his favor. When they separ ated we could see that the sorrel had been badly used, especially about tho legs. When the horses wheeled for the third time both were bent ott mischief. As they came together they reared up like dogs and struck at each other, and for five minutes they were scarcely off their hind feet. Some hard blows were exchanged, and our horse had the best of the round. Indeed, when the sorrel wheeled and ran away he had his head down and he seemed to acknowledge defeat. He ran off about twenty rods before wheeling, and as he stood for a moment I looked at him through a field glass which one of the men handed me. His ears lay flat, his eyes looked bloodshot, and there was bloody foam on his lips. He hd been severly handled, but was by no means defeated. Indeed, he had run awav for the moment to adopt new tactics. When ho moved up again he was the picture of fero.'ity. He came at full speed, reared, and struck right and left, and the second blow knocked our horse flat on the ground. It was a knock out blow. The victor stood over him for a moment, watching for a movement, but as none was made he joined the herd, and all went off at a gallop. It was five minutes lefore our horse staggered to his feet, and he wanted no more fighting. He had three bad bites on the shoulders, and his legs were skinned in a dozen places, and it was a week before he got his spirit back. Two or three times during the next ten days I saw lone wild horses, and one of the old hunters with us was asked for an explanation. He said they were "rogues" stallions which had been driven from the herd in disgrace and that they were always considered ug!y and dangerous. Ho had known of their attacking a single horseman, but the presence of a large party like ours would of course frighten them off. Two days after this explanation we were strung out for three miles along the river, on the march and survey. Something was lost by an ollicer, and one of the troop ers was sent back to recover it. Ten minutes later tho article supposed to bo lost was found in one of the ambulances, and I was sent back to notify the troop er. He had galloped back to camp, a distance of two miles, and was searching around on foot when I arrived in sight. I was about to fire a shot to attract his attention, when from the cottonwood grove beyond the camp a horse came charging out. He was a "rogue," and bent on mischief. The soldier's horso was grazing, and tho soldier had his eyes on the ground, and I was so aston ished by the sudden charge ot the rogue that I made no move to stop him or to warn the trooper. Indeed, a warning could have hardly reached him in time. His back was to the approaching horse, and the rogue seized him in his teeth by a hold between the shoulders and dragged him twenty rods before flinging him to one side. Then ho started for the cavalry horse, which -stood with head up facing him, and I got out my revolver and spurred, forward. I was yet a quarter o f a mile away when the rogue reached his second vic tim., He ran at full speed, with his ears back and lips parted to show his teeth, and the sight was too much for the do mestic anirhal. He was on the point of turning to fly when the other collided with him. It was as if a locomotive had struck him. He went down in a heap and rolled over and over four or five times before ho brought up, while the rogue took a half circle to bear down upon the trooper again, lhe man was on his feet and limping off; but he would have been a goner had I been further away. I rode across the rogue's path and opened fire on him, and after shaking his head in an ugly way he galloped into the grove and disappeared. The trooper's horse did not seem to have suffered any by the shock, but soon fter noon lay down and died. The man was actually crying when I rode up to him, although he had taken a hand in several Indian fights and was reputed a brave fellow. The danger had come up on him so suddenly as t overcome his nerves. The horse's teeth had not bro ken the skin through his thick clothing, ami he d d not have a bruise to show, but such was the sudden shock that he was on the sick list for two weeks. We were within two days ride on the Bonita, and had been in camp two or three days, when one of tho hunters rode in just before dark with some game and announced that a herd of at least 1,500 wild horses were grazing about three miles to the east of us. This was on the opposite eide of tho recos, which just here spread out over a rocky ledge, and was 200 feet wide and about a foot deep Below our camp was an old grove with many dead trees in it. It was there we got our wood. In all other directions the ground was open. We had about twelve tents in camp, aside from the wag ons and ambulances. The best feeding ground was on the west of the camp, and all the animals were staked out there. Outside of the bunch of animal was a guard of two soldiers, and two more were between the animals and the wagons. There was no dangtrr appre hended from the Indians, and the guard was et to keep prowling wolves out of camt) and to assist anv horn wliieli might get tangled in his' lariat. It had j been a hot day, with "thunder heads" I showing lii the sky, but when the sun i went down the sky was perfectly clear" and all signs pointed to & quiet night. It was just midnight when the sharp est flash of lightning I ever saw.followed by such a crash of thunder as made the Garth groan tumbled every deeper in camp out of his blankets. I say the sharpest flash I ever saw, for I was awake in time to see mofct of it. It was so fierce that it seemed to burn our eyelids. I Was hardly on my feet lefore there came another flashy followed by another roar. I knew it was going to rain great guns, and I jumped into trousers and boots, and grabbed up the rest of my clothes and made for a waeron onlv a few leet away, lue two wagons were close I to each other, but the forward ends pulled away from each other so that the vehicles formed a V. While tho space between the off hind wheel of one and the niffh hind wheel nf tbe other waa not. over a foot, the space between the ' tongues was sis or eight feet. The sky was black as I rushed out of the tent, and all the camp fires had burned low. I flung my clothes into one of the wag ons, and then hurried back and got my weapons and some other articles, and during this time the heavens seemed aflame and the earth fairly rocked. Men were shouting, horses neighing, and the din was awful, but as 1 reached the wagon the second time there came a sound to drown all others. It was ft steady roar like the rush of preat waves, and it grew louder all the time. I could not Understand it for two or three min utes. The noise came from the westj and I stood upon the wagon so that I could overlook the tents. A flash of lightning was followed by a moment of pitch darkness, and then came a long, tremulous flash, lasting threo or four seconds. By its light I caught sight of the herd of wild horses bearing down upon us in a mad mob, and just as the lightning ceased they entered tho stream. The splash of the waters had the sound of breakers, and though I shouted a warning at the top of my voice no one could have heard me twenty feet away. Next moment that terror stricken herd was in camp, while the clouds opened the rain came down in torrents. I scrambled back into the wagon, and what I saw during the next ten minutes can never be forgotten. The frightened horses leaped over the tents, or ran against them, fell over guy ropes, bump ed against the wagons, and made clean leaps over the ambulances, and all the time each one kept up a wild neighing. I heard our own animals plunging and rearing and neighing, but knew that wo were helpless to prevent ft stampede. As the first of the herd got through our ramp to the wagons, two of them entered the V-shaped space and others kept them crowded in there. The lightning was flashing and the thunder roaring again, and the poor beasts were app.illed at the situation. There were four or live lassoes and a dozen spare lariats in my wagon, and when I saw that the entrapped horses were making no move to get out I picked up a noosed rope, lifted the side cover of the wagon, and had the noose over the head of one in three seconds. The one behind him tried to turn when I sought to noose him, but hit his heels against something and twisted back toward me until my hand touched his nose as I slipped the noose over. Then I made the other ends fast, got out the lassoes, and, stand ing on the front of the wagon, I noosed three horses inside of five minutes. It was no trick at all, for they were pressed right up to the wagon by the weight of those lehind, and the awful war of the elements tamed them. The herd was ten minutes working through the camp, and as they cleared it they took away every horse and mule that we had. Every tent was prostrated, much of our provisions and ammunition destroyed, and one ambulance smashed to pieces. One man was killed and three were injured by the rush of horses. As an offset a waggoner bad lassoed two, I had five, and two more had hobbled themselves with tent ropes. In the course of a day we got all our animals back but one old mule, and managed to repair damages. Our captives were tho finest wild horses ever seen on the plains. My lot included threo stallions, and I sold one of them right there with the noose around his neck for 200. The others I kept until our return to Texas, taming them a little every day, and then got $1,000 for the four. Tho span of stallions went to St. Louis after a bit, and one of them proved himself the fast est trotter of that decade. Is the old palace of Catherine the Great at Tsarska-Selo, near St. Peters burg, there is a room, which is lined, walls and ceiling, with the finest amber. As the room is half as large as the great East Room in the White House at Washington, its value is purely a matter of speculation. This amber was a gift from Frederick tho Great to Cath erine II. ' Cornelius (forgetting himself) Ton will be a sister to me! A $10 sleigh ride this afternoon, a box at the opera to night, supper at Delmonico's, and a cab home! A sister to me? Great Scott! what kind of a fool human being do you take a brother to be? BfEl TELEGRAPHIC TICKS- NORTH CAROMKA. L. Ileilbroner & Bro., of Tarboro, have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. It, L. Lang is assignee. The liabilities are $28,000. Assets esti mated at $10,000. Preferred debts aggre gate about 113,000 , A car load of cotton in transit, ton signed to the Henrietta mill, was dis covered on fire four miles from Shelby. The train was run to a tank and the lire extinguished without great damage. Fieces of exploded pyrotechnics were found in the car. The entire force employed in the con struction of the Wilkesboro Railroad have struck for an increase of 25 per cent in wages. The railroad authorities offered to allow tie incrse, but de manded twelve hours work instead of ten, as heretofore. Meanwhile work is at a standstill pending negotiations. There was a destructive fire at Reids ville. The losses are estimated at $25,- 000, and are as follows: G. S. Kenodle, store, $10,000, insurance $ 5,000; Wil liamson Bro. & Co., stock of merchan dise, $12,000, insurance $6,000; II. J. Martin, livery stable, $1,000, insurance $400; Reidsville Times office, $1,500, in surance $400. Several small buildings were burned. In Cabarrus county, some time ago, the barn belonging to Dr. Rufus T. Shimpock was set on fire and burned with much valuable forage and corn, to gether with reapers, mowers and other farm machinery. The loss wns heavy. Henry Glover, a white man fifty years old, and his sou, aged twenty-one, were talking with a man whom they thought a bitter enemy of Dr. Shimock, and among other thiflgs they said: "We gave it to his old barn." This led to their being suspected of having burned the barn. They are now in jail at Con cord. While Hiram Cowan was plowing on his farm in Rowan county he heard the report of a gun, and at the same time felt a stinging sensation of shot entering his body. Medical attention was sum moned, and over twenty No. G shot were in his body, three of which had pene trated the lungs. Twelve shot struck the house. According to Cowan's state ment, his oldest son was in some bushes near where he was plowing, and the gun went off accidentally. His son was verj much prostrated by grief and sorrow over the occurrence. He is eighteen ycrs old. SOUTH CAROLINA. Governor Richardson has appointed Col. J. Q. Marshall Secretary of State, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Hon. W. Z. Leitncr. A few days ago Mr. Robert Gilford, of Hampton county, South Carolina, was violeatly thrown from his buggy by a runaway mule and instantly killed, not far from his residence. He leaves a family and a large circle of friends. Mr. Wing, the sawyer at Moses & Harby's mill, nine miles below Sumter, on the Central Road, was severely in jured by the smashing of an emery wheel. His face was badly bruised and the collar-bone broken. Peter Watson, a negro, was drowned in the Catawba river where it traverses Fairfield county. He and a white man were crossing tho river in a bateau, which suddenly capsized and threw both out The white man swam to the shore but the negro soon sank. A negro named Albert Daas, in at tempting to jump from dredge t a tug. near Port Royal, missed his footing, fell between the boats and was crushed, and before aid could reach him fell into the wattr and sank. His body has not been recovered. An insane negro named Ward 3Iartin, who was lodged in the iail of Spartan burg county preparatory to being brought to the lunttic asylum, committed sui cide by beating his brains out against the wall of his cell. He had been in jail only a few hours, and it seems it was nor, thought necessary to take precautions against suicide. At Sistrunks, one negro was killed and two negroes and a white man were wounded. Later it was learned that B. Lee Jeff coot was retailing whiskey to negroes on the road, when they were tired into from ambush. One negro was killed and three wounded. Jcffcoot was hit between the eyes and is in a critical condition. The coroner and sheriff are at the scene of tne affray. Charles 1'. Hoffman, postmaster at Blythewood, was brought before the United States Commissioner at Columbia charged with detaining and destroying mail matter left for delivery. He was bound over to appear at court for trial. It is alleged that on the occasion speci fied in the warrant he burned a whole barrel full of mail matter left at the of fice to be dispatched. Other irregulari ties are also charged. Hoffman denies the charge and says he is the victim of a conspiracy. NORTH. EAST AND WEST Forty persons were killed and about five hundred injured by a tornado at Dacca, India. The Builington Road has restored rates on freight. This means an end to the freight rate war. The city clerk ot Bucyrus, Ohio, W. S. Welsh, has been arrested on the charge of embezzlement. G. D. Allen & Bros., large land and cattle owners of Hartland, Kansas, have failed. Liabilities, $100,000. At Tf rre Haute, Ind., the State Nor mal School building was burned to the ground. Loss, $189,000. The upper Mississippi and its tribu taries in Wisconsin and Minnesota are at flood tide, and doing a good deal of mis chief. Sam Wolff, of the firm of B. Wolff & Bro., the largest firm of furniture deal ers in Montgomery, Ala., committed suicide. KET8 AND NOTES FOB WOMEN. Bangle bracelets are: coming in again. I Paris 'walking dresses are gray with silver braiding or 6teel passementerie. Peculiar shades of green, plum, brown and tan are shown in the new g oves. The new Scotch ginghams and sateens show large designs. Stripes are popular. It has become the proper thing for musical young ladies in society to play tbe harp. - . Dressy thort wraps are made of changeable velvet g!ace silks and are all the rage. "Woman-who-gocs-out -of - tfie-house-five-timcs-a-day" is the name of a Dakota Indian woman. Black grenadines for summer wear have armure grounds with large designs closely woven in silk. Mrs. Bonanza Mackay will be in New port next summer, and intends to en tertain on an elaborate scale. The lapping front prevails in polo naises, afhl the skirt falls open to the waist alike in back and front. Coral ha3 come into popu!ar favor again for earrings and necklaces. Only the most delicate pink is worn. The wife of Judge Stallo, our Minis ter at Rome, Italy, talks very little English, being a German by birth. Mbs Laura Winkler, of Iowa, though totally blind, is one of the most success ful temperance workers in the State. Ore of the notable features of fashion this year will be the gradual disappear ance of bridesmaids from weddings. Dressy mourning bonnets are made en tirely of loops of narrow watered ribbon, each pointed and finished with a bead. There are one hundred women study ing in the Harvard Annex this year. There is an endowment fund of $100,000. Some of the newest p'ece laces 6how arabesques and geometric designs, and go'.d threads are interwoven with them. 3Iore Mack lace dresses are being made just at present over princ.-ss slips of black satin or surah thaa of colored silks. The Greek ladies of "TheFhanar,"' at Constantinople, have for centuries been renowned for their ability and require ments. Bonnets grow smaller and the rib'ons, aigrettes and bows on top arc held in place by flower sprays, instead of big plumes. The poppy, the peony and the hibis cus run riot in the new brocades, and quite put out of countenance less majestic blossoms. Mrs. Hicks Lord, the wealthy Wash ington society-leader, says fhe shall de vote her unexpected legacy of $100,000 to charity. The wide riblwns which now adorn brides' and bridesmaids' bouquets are often drawn togeih-T at the ends and fin ished off with tassels. Striped ribbons arc to be used on hit and bonnets the coming season. They may rightly be called rainbow ribbons and arc gay without being pleasing to the eye. The lady who posed to her husband as the model for the figure of Freedom painted in the dome of the Capitol at Washington, now keeps a boarding house. The Eng'hh fashion of silver finger rings prevails, in New York at least, to a large extent and among both sexc3. These ring? are for the most part fanci ful in design. A young woman who was taken into an insurance orh e in Philadelphia on trial could not properly sharpen a lead pencil at the end of six months and was there fore discharged. A pretty blouse, and one which is both becoming and comfortable, is that which is tucked to form the yoke, the fullness falling from th s, and belted in at the waist with a narrow sash ribbon, and tied. The pinked taffetta silk gowns for summer wear carry one back half a century to the time when taffeta was the silken fabric par excellence and when it wore excellently in sp'te of its light weight. The long full skirts without drapery are very stylish, and are so arranged as to simulate an under and overdress. The panel is still a favorite mode of trimming for such skirts, as well as those cut in the ordinary mode. Cut steel iu .all sorts of devk ei is used on millinery as well a;oa drcs trimming. Cut steel and colored bead3 together make a very attractive combination in passementerie and is very apt to be seen on black as a background. Mrs. Margaret Duttou, of Shelbyville, Ind., was a great smoker until she reached the age of 100 ycais; then fear ing that the practice might shorten her life, she gave it up. fcdio is now 102, and bids fair to live many years. I lain white muslin is used where there is a transparent effect desired in em broidery. Curtains are made very at tractive in tlii 5 way. An all over design in Italian coloring is especially appro priate for this sort of background. That curious freak of nature, the black pansy, is imitated by Parisian flower makers, and appears as a flower for bonnet trimming the coming season. Carnations in different huei perfectly copied from nature, are also favorites. Susan King, the female real estate speculator, is a New York woman who worked her way up from the financial ground floor to somewhere near the roof. Srhe is understood to be out of active b isiness now, but once she was one of the best known women in the city. The ineffable and mysterious ex pression observed by so many poets in children's eye? as, for instance, those of "Philip, my King' has become of late a studied effect with innumerable young ladies, as photo ani chromo-lithographs bear witness. It is called the "Baby Stare." Incorrigible. "That fellow, Jones, is incorrigible," remarked Robinson. "He gets every thing on credit." "Ycu don't say so?'' "Yes; he even sleeps on tick.
