THE END OF A FEUD. i TIIE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, lbi. ADVERTISEMENTS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. jit Cnually Come WhCB Tkro Are X9t ' Enough SurrlTor. to Take Side. ' UThe Ilatfleld-McCoy feud may be r, and It may not. In all the carea1 ver known the feud died only whqa lone of the families did the same. Tre ttforton-Cummins feud in Texas be longed to this class, j The only man left of those two fam ilies now is Dan Morton, Three years jago he was dealing fdro in El Paso. lEis face is like leatherand he is aboat as tough. Fear is a ydng he does not know. He will prtfbably die in his loots, because inij of that sort are 'never pleasant to ave about, and the community revolt occasionally. But, to go Kjick. How the thing started doesn'tuatter especially. Prob latly in the mne way that it ended in 'jvsaloon qudrrel. This much is known : A Cummins shot a Morton; then the jthing went on with deadly regularity until some six or seven had been killed ion either side. Finally there were only two Mortons and one Cummins left. Tho latUT had just killed one of his opponents and he lit out for other parts Ana Kept away xor a ?ood many monuis. One day Cummins came back. Everybody was offering bets that Dan Morton would shoot him on sight. Cummins thought so, too, but he had come back to try and settle the thing peaceably if he could, otherwise if it had to be. The two met in the natural course of events, and both started to reach for their guns. Cummins said his say, though, before the other got the cinch on him. , "Dan," he said, "this thing's gone far enough, an' I reckon we might as well quit There's only me left, an' you too. Now what's the use of it, anyway?" It struck Dan sort of reasonably, and he put up his gun. "Believe ye're about right," he said. With that the two went into the Red Front saloon, and in another ten min utes the two were patting each other on the back, and telling each other what a pity it was they hadn't known before what good fellows they both were. They kept feeling better and Better. "An' none of it need hev happened," eaid Morton, "ef your Tom hadn't shot Morton." "He didn't do it," said Cummins. "He did." The denial was too much for Cum mins. xou ne: lie insseo, anu tneri in a minute all the sworn friendship of the last half hour went to the four winds and forgetfulness, and those two closed in a deadlv struggle. Each was trying to reach for the other's gun. They surged all over the saloon. No one interfered for a while. Then the other Morton, who had not trusted the newly made reconciliation, and had kept close by, stepped up to the two, and putting Ii is pistol to Cum mins' head, literally shot his head all to pieces. And that ended the feud. Tho other Morton was killed shortly afterward in an ordinary quarrel, and Dan is now the only one left. Chicago Tribune. A Curious Fact About Nickel ud Iron In the interesting process which has lately coiue into vogue of dating iron with nickel by pressure befween rolls at a welding heat, the nickel is ingeni ously recovered from the clippings and shearings of the plate, simply by the action 01 dilute sulphuric acid at a temperature of 55 degs., Cent. ; that is, the iron is dissolved, and the nickel is obtained in the form of thin sheets as it was melted upon the iron, the opera tion being complete when the evolution of hydrogen ceases; even fresh acid at the same temperature has practically no effect But though the separation of the two metals is thus apparently perfectly made, a curious fact is remarked, name ly, that when the residual nickel is chemically examined it is found to dif fer from its original composition, the amount of iron present being notably increased. An example of this is noted in the case of a nickle containing origi nally .09 per cent of iron, 2 per cent more being found when it was re covered from the plate cuttings, and even by a long continued treatment with dilute acid the iron could not be sensibly reduced. This peculiar behavior points, it is believed, to the possibility of positive Chemical combination taking place be tween the metals, and that alloys of iron and nickel are produced in the process of welding, it being a fact well known to clieinists and metal lurgists that iron, with but even a small proportion of nickel, resists the action of acids much more than the pure metal. roew York Sun. 1891. 1891.
