THE cow BOY DUEL. Kid Frank's Account of One of the Most Hemarkable Fights on Record. Brom the Denver Republican, John Kelly, one of the participants in the = “cow boy duel,” arrived here yesterday. fs a remarkable man. Born in Buffalo bout thirty years ago, he came west at an early age, and became pretty wll known as “Kid Frank.” After leading an adventurous Ife he married a well-to-do Mexican woman, and by her secured a fine ranch torty miles square in old Mexico. on the San Pedros river, lose to the line. He became known far and wide by his skill in shooting, and was gen- erally avoided by men desirous of killing some one for the sak-- of notoriety. His herd grew ly until aleut four months ago, when he found his brand on 3,000 head of cattle, worth Rearly $100,000. determined to sell 2,500 head, and gathe 5) head more, he small.

The cow-boys on each side gathere round and bean to handle their weapons in Manner which indicated that they meant busi- Bess. Kelly saw the danger.

A Story Discovery of the Rober * E. Lee Mine in Colorado. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Last evening a reporter met Mr. Richard Knowles, a prominent miner of the Gunnison country, in Colorado. He sald: “While I was yet in Leadville a man came up there from Den- ver named Dexter—Jim Dexter they called him— and he was full of life and hope, and had some money. Dexter looked about him for a while, and finally bought a claim on Carbonate Hill, which had, at that time, not been prospected very well. He paid, I think, about $15,000 for it, and set to work putting in machinery and sinking the shaft, which was already down | some 100 feet or more. He worked away on | the mine, people laughing at him a good deal, ; but he never once lost heart. The mine had not shown up a single thing in the way of mineral, and the shaft had been sunk by that time several hundred feet. Dexter did not know what todo. He kad now spent nearly all | the money he h: and nothing was coming in. One day in the early part of the year 187) a ty came to him and asked him what he uld take for his mine. Dexter told him, and e between them. The price I think, $30,000, some $5,000 more n Dexter had spent on it altoxether. He was mighty glad to get the £30,000, and thouznt himself well out of a bad bargain. He rushed out to Carbonate Hill and ordered the miners to drop their tools@nd quit work. This was about 3 o'clock In the afternoon. He said, “Boys, I have sold this d—d hole, and I don’t want you to work another minute in it for me. I will pay you off right now and you can quit.’ H Weil, the miners had just finished a drill and were going to place a bi and uneover some | rock, and they asked to be allowed to finish it | befor y quitted work. ‘No,’ said Dexter, ‘come out, I don’t want you to work any more; there is nothing in the d—d old hole.” The men reluctantly quitted and departed. Dexter got his money and was happy. | ‘Weil, the mine had been bought by a stock compa and in a short time they began work on it.

Very few boys and girls in this country ever learn to walk naturally and gracefully without instruction, and to dance or ride one must goto school. Walking, dancing and riding are parts of a good education. They give health and pleasant manners, but of the three, riding is the most useful in giving courage. strength, manners and good health. The body is the house we live In. It fsa pretty good house, and should not only be neatly clothed, but be carried in a correct and natural manner. No one thinks of wearing torn clothes or living in a tumble-down house, and why should we not stand and walk or sit and ride in a natural and graceful manner? We are 80 made that if we do things in the right way we shall always find it the easiest way also, and that it will enable us to be natural and graceful at the sane time. The art of riding teaches all this, and once learned is wonderfully easy, and becomes as much second nature as walking, It consists of two things—a good seat and gulding the horse. By a good seat is meant a secure position on the horse. Fora boy it means to put both legs over the horse, with the upper part of the leg bent slightly forward, the lower part hanging down, with the foot in the stirrup and the heel slightly lower than the toes. Sit erect, with the body free to sway in every direction on the hips. Foragirl, the right leg is thrown over the horn of the saddie, and the left hangs down like a boy's. Her body is really on a pivot, through the hips, and must freely bend forward or backward, or on either side, without moving in the saddle. The horse. we may remark, has four feet and abrain. Riding consists not only in a good seat, but the art of teaching the horse to give uphis will and to do not what he wishes but what you wish. So you must come to an un- derstanding with your horse; learn his way of thinking and his language. Left to himself he might go the wrong way, or stand still and go nowhere in particular. 1¢ might be very pleas- ant for him, but this isnot what we want. So in the school you are taught all the wores of command—to start, to halt, to trot or gallop, to change step, and to goto the right or left, To tell it all ald fill a book, and we can only now observe In a general way how a horse is managed. Itis done both by voice and by motions of the hand and body. For instance, the word is given to start or stop, but the rider's body must be moved slightly on the hips to help the horse. To turn to the right or left the reins are turned very slightiy, the body is bent in the opposite direction to that tried it, and Gerster, too.
