Without doubt the most singular duel that ever took place in the United States occurred at Santa Fe. iN. M.. many years ago. It occurred several years previous to the first Pacific rail road and while yet every pound of goods going to the far west had to be hauled across Uie greet plains by freight wagons or sent around Cape Horn by sea. Two men in a Rogers & Blair outfit fell In love with the same girl in Santa Fe. One was an American named Jack Hines, and the other was a full blood ed Mexican, who was simply known as Don. The girl was a half breed, and none of us outside the two rivals thought her worth fighting over. The affair had gone on for seven or eight months before the outbreak came. We were in Santa Fe. making ready for a start east, when the Mexi can one evening approached a fire be side which Hines sat alone and threw a package of powder on the blaze. With a leap aside he escaped conse quences, but Jack Hines was blinded for life. It was a contemptible thing to do, and but for the civil authorities the Mexican would have been lynch ed. As it was, he was kicked and beaten and bounced out of camp. A day or two later, as the girl had gone back on him, he tried to carry her off by force, but had to let her go when she stabbed him. Hines depended on her pity In his misfortune, but she ca'mly told him that a blind husband would be of no use to her and laughed bis tears to scorn. He had a relative in the city and was taken in and cared for, while the Mexican crossed the Itio Grande for a time. It was a year later, and Jack's old outfit and all his friends happened to be in Santa Fe again when Don returned. He had grown uglier and meaner in the twelve months. We would have picked a fuss with him and shot him down, hut Jack Hines had no sooner heard of his pres ence than he said: "Boys, you must arrange for a dueL I shall never rest content until I have killed that Mexican!" "But you are blind!" we protested. "Never mind that. I must fight him and kill him, blind or not. and the whole of Santa Fe shall look on!" When we found that he would have it so we carried a challenge to Don and also asked the authorities to let us have a public duel. Some weak ob jections were made, but they yielded the point. A fight of some sort was an hourly incident, and duels came off two or three times a week. "Yes, I will meet the Americano," he said, "and I will slice and cut and prick for one hour by the watch before I give him the grand finish! The crowd that looks on will see some of the finest knife play ever shown on this side of the river. Tomorrow at noon, eh? I will be as prompt as the sun!" Y'ou may believe that when the re port spread about there was a great excitement. It was generally believed that the blind man would fall an easy victim, but even his best friends said that he had better die with a knife in his hand than to live in a helpless state the rest of his life. To three or four Jack confided his belief that he would triumph. His hearing had be come as acute as a fox's, and he would make his ears see for him. He was in perfect health, had the nerve and courage of a lion and he believed he had a chance. At high noon of an August day over 4,000 people, many of whom were wom en, assembled on the smooth turf to witness the strange combat. A ring of ropes was formed, and the spectators formed another. It was to be a due; with knives, and seconds and a referee were appointed. After each five min utes there was to be a rest. Foremost among the spectators was the girl who had caused it all, and she was free to say she didn't care who triumphed. Each man was allowed to wrap his left arm in a serape or cloak, and all cheer ing or advising was forbidden. The blind man was pale faced and nervous as the fight began, but his hard shut teeth told of the determination in his heart The Mexican was all bows and smiles and confidence, and as he was known to be an adept with the knife a groan went about the circle as the two stepped forward to open the fight That duel was something to be re membered for all time. From the blind man's movements no one could have told that he was sightless. For four five-minute rounds they fought with only a few trifling scratches on either side, but if there was any advantage it was on the side of the American, who had the full sympathy of the crowd, Mexicans and all. When they came ont for the fifth round Don wink ed and chuckled and said it was time he began slicing ears off. Hines had located his man in a hair's breadth, and as they faced each other the Amer ican leaped forward like a flash, caught the knife on his and threw it to the left, and the next instant his own blade had found the heart of the man who had blinded him. We who were only five feet away could not follow the movement, so swiftly was it made, but It was a successful one and. of course, ended the fight Hines told me that during the fight he seemed to see every move and motion made by the other and from the first felt sure of victory. A public purse amounting to over a thousand dollars was raised for him on the spot, and about five hundred was subsequently added, and he was sent east to some institution and is today a teacher of the blind and a man too ten der hearted to kill a fly. j THE PATRIOT Qudis in o M 111 Slid ii.
