JUDGE GERALD A FIRE EATER He Never Bluffs and Generally Gets His Man. RICHAKD HK. FOX’S ESUAPE. Waco, Tex., Nov. 25.—Ricbard K. Fox of Police Gazette fame, a patron of sports, is not aware, probably, how near he came to being a victim of a dead game sport from Texas, who had come to the conc’ usion that the aforesaid Fox bad decorated this mundane sphere for too longa period. And the afvrementioued sport was none other than the big, broad-should+red.red whiskered C: 1 G@ B. Gerald, of Waco, who created) asensation of national scops the other day by creating two first-class funerals iv the Harris family. Colonel Gerald bad. after mature deliberation, covcluded to take a hand in the Brann-Baylor controver sy and after convincing himself that Bravn bad not been given a fair desl, from pure motives of chivalry. and with the directness of purpose whieh frequently warks the transac- tions of gentlemen in Texas, he de manded that brothers publish in their pap-r a commuuica tion, prepared by Colonel Gerald, wh ch constituted in itself a strong and pithy defenses of Banu d chned become a party to Gerald's vir the Harris The Harris brothers coolly to L tiov of Braun, end, furthermore, re- fused to return to Colonel Gerald bis manuseript Aud therein the error was fatul Co'oue! Gerald waited the Harris brothers to enforce a person al demand for the publication of bis return of bis upou communication or the manuscript, and, failing in both, he declared war. Being unarmed and a man over 65 years old, the broth ers were too much for him in the fir t encounter, and be was knocked out and down a flight of stairs. Al- though eager to continue the une qual contest, Colonel Gerald was dragged away by friends, and hos tilities for the time being ceased But Colonel Gerald was not the man to forgive or forget and through a friend he notitied the Harris boys that war would be resumed on the first meeting. Aud when they me’, althou.h the Harris boys opened the bal!, Colcrel Gerald led the set by killing one brother and wounding the other so severely that he died the next day. The Colonel himself was wounded, though not severely, and at the subsequent hearing he was acquitted, the evidence show- ing that the Harris brothers had be gua hostilities by opening a criss cross fire on Gerald. Through thie little interchange of pleasantries Colonel Gerald gained afame that would certainly have been his, had his friends not used acombined force to prevent him leaving Waco, two years ago. And thereby hangs the tale of the Fox Gerald encounter which never ma terialized. About two years agoa trifling dif- ference of opinion arose between cer tain lawyers practicing in the cour over which Colonel, then Judge G+ ald, presided. From acrimoniou debate they passed to bitter person alitiee, thence chairs, hurled with much force and certainty. and fiaally to pistols “Mr. Sheriff, we must have order in the court room,” roared Judge Gerald, as he pounded vigorously on his desk. But the sheriff was unable to sep arate the combatants or maintain order and the fight waxed more fu rious. Judge Gerald viewed the fray from his bench for a minute or two aud then hauling out a pair of long for'y fives he leaped over his desk exclaiming: ‘Tiltake a hand in this myself, by? In less than two minutes be had cleared the eourt-room and restored order, for he was known in that sec- tion of Texas asa man who never bluffed and who never 1 the same comms i R there wes wh Kiiehard K.

At the depot Judge Gerald met to know where he was goiug “To New York,” said Judge Ger- ald, “to kill that man Fox” he was very much in earvest. He felt himself deeply insulted by the story, which bad referre1 to bim in very urc mplimepvtary terme, and more particularly to the bead-tline, | woiel carried the thas he was a blufi-r. It was his iuten |tiou to go to New York, cal! at Fox’s office, and there, after announcing hime lf as the “Big Sandy on a Bioff,” to give Fox a chance to pro insinuation cure a weapon aud then Kk] him That Gerald would carried out his intention to the ]-trer is not doubted for a moment by any mar who knows Gerald Bat his friend, after learning the object of Gera d’+ bay hasty departure, burried up towr. ralivd a dezen of the Colonel's best friends avd by main force they dragged him from the train and beld him a prisouer until he prom ined to abando: tha prej-et to ann hilate Fox.

It seems that every case for which the doct ment is un uccessful, the learned cians decide at once that must be performed, and tl 3 of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to. Doctors are human, and of course liable to make mistakes, brt th takes are too fatal to be ind promiscuously, and as so many sacrificed in this manner, it is but r for the public to believe that operations are unnecessary, besides be- ing a feariul risk to human life, even if successful. It isa positive fact, however, that all operations are not necessary, and that a majority of them are absolutely under- taken without the slightest chance of success. The doctors have never been able to cure a blood disease, and a sur- gical operation is their only method of treating deep-seated ca-es, such as can- cer and scrofulous affections. Aside from the great danger, an operation never did and never will cure cancer, as the disease never fails to return. Can- cer is in the blood, and common sense teaches anyone that no disease can be cut from the blood. i Here isa case where the pain inflicted on a six-year-old boy was especially cruel, and after undergoing the tortures produced by the surgeon’s knife he rap- idly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch, the father of the boy, residing at 279 Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes: “When my son, Will, was six yeare old, a small sore appeared on his lip, which did not yield to the usual treat- ment, but before long began to grow. It gave him a great deal of pain, and con- tinned to spread. He was treated by several gi doctors, who said he had cancer, and advised that an operation was necessary. “After much reluctance, we consented, and they cut down to the jaw bone, which they scraped. The operation was @ severe one, but I thought it was the only hope for my boy. Before a great while the cancer returned, and began to grow rapidly. We gave him many rem- edies without relief, and finally upon the advice of a friend, decided to try 3.S.S. (Swift’s Specific), and with the second bottle he n to improve. After twenty bottles had nm taken, the cancer dis- appeared entirely and he was cured. The cure was a permanent one, for he is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease turn.”” S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood remedies, because it is the only one which cures deep-seated obstinate blood | diseases such es Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc. | It is the only blocd remedy guaranteed | | }containing not a particle of mercury, 'potash, or other mineral ingredient, |which are so injurious to the system. |S.S.S. is sold by all druggists i jooks on Cancer a: Diseases ill be mailed free to any address by the | Swift Specific Company, Atlanta,Ga. | Before submit- iting tothe knife, try the only real blood remedy. ini: | miss Scrofula, , ‘ SSS j Ea F gis ice brandy.

They re- ceived her with enthusiasm and’ made her their idol as well as their leader. A member of the band betrayed her to the Spaniards, and she was sent to join her father in the Isle of Pines July 27 of last year. She had not been on the island long before she attract- ed the attention of Gov. Berez, who be- came infatuated with her. The story goes that she indignantly rejected his advances, and that her father, noticing the infatuation, laid a trap for the governor.
