a EXCITING INCIDENTS AND BRAVE DEEDS ON LAND OR SEA. A Judge's Narrow Eseapes From Death—A Giel's Thrilling Exneri- | ence in a Burning Balloon, Et» T was only a few davs ago when Judge John W. Henry, of Mis- sours, was at Willard's Hotel, in . Washington. The old Judge, a Kentuckian by birth, has lived in Missouri since the days of Benton. He is one of the Lest-known men of the State. Judge Henry entertains he makes pro- found subscription to the doctrine of | the duello, and holds that everybody should be responsible for his words and acts, without a white feather ono him. His 1885, when John Walker, then Audi- tor of State, attempted, at Jefferson City, to assassinate Judge Henry, who was at the time a member of the Su- preme Court. ciding a case. They met on the street, “I understand you are girculating rumors about me,” observed Walker to Henry as they met. Walker had on a cloak overcoat, and under the cloak he held a Coit's pistol ready to fire. “No, sir;"” retorted rumors, John Walker. were a thief and a rumor about it." *‘Bang!"” went Walker's pistol, bullet struck Henry on the plowed along the left arm elbow, and when striking left breast glanced off. Before he could fire again, Henry felled Walker with his heavy cane. over sixty-five years of age. the shooting Heury walked to a drug store and had the wound dressed. Walker had to be picked up by the audience. That closed the incidents. Knowing the old gentleman's mettle a Star reporter asked Judge Henry whether he had ever been frightened. “Frightened?” said Henry, with ’ .

One Saturday Moon was in town. He was an igno- rant old fellow, and some of the young lawyers were having fun at his ex- pense. They were telling him that some smart Yankees had taken title to his land and would bring a law suit to throw him off. They had made old Moon pretty hot. Just as I came up one of them said: * ‘And here comes Mr. Henry, Cap- tain. ple, and will bring these suits_to put you off the land.’ ‘ Warrensburg on “The old Captain looked at mein a | sullen, evil way. He didn’t know me very well and believed every word that was told him. ter bring your coffin. You will need it, sah.’ “I thought it would be a good thing to scare the old fellow and teach him better manners, so I retorted: “ ‘Well, if there's to be any shoot- ing over this business, Captain, we'd better do 1t this afternoon.’ “ “Very well, sah,’ rejoined the Cap- tain, with mach dignity, if I hal a weapon, sah, 1'd be at yon sarvice.’ “I told him I had a brace of pistols at my office, and if he'd come down I'd take pleasure im conferring one upon him, and shooting it out then and there. “That's perfectly agreeable to me, sah,’ replied the Captain, “I started for my office, and Cap- tain Moon limped after me. My office opened off the street, It was dark in- side, save for a flickering log fire. The old Captain limped in and took a chair. out an old brass barreled pistol, which hadn't smelled powder in the memory of man. Then I turned toward Cap- tain Moon with this in my hand. * +1 perceive, Captain,’ I said, with a tinge of sternness in my tones, ‘that, now that I'm here, I have but one pistol.’ ““ ‘Well, sah,” responded the old Captain, arising from his chair and limping nervously about, ‘that being the fact, what do yoo propose to do, sah?’ * ‘Well, sir,’ I rejoined, ‘I mean to treat you just as you said yon would deal with me if I came out to your farra. I mean to shoot you down like a dog.” With that I suddenly leveled the pistol squarely at Moon's breast. Of course, 1 expected the old pirate to scream and run. He disappointed me. As clapped the pistol on him the little old fellow seemed to shrink together like a cat. With a move like a flash he reached over his shoul- der and took a krife from somewhere, and as the firelight glinted on the blade, it looked a yard. long. He did it like lightning. Just as he drew the knife he gritted through his teeth: *‘ ‘Make a center shot, you villain,’ snd with that knife in his hand he came straight at my neck like a wild cat. “It was too rapid for me. I threw down the brass Fine! and fled, just in time to keep old Moon from cutting my throat. As I fled I expected to fot that bowie knife in my back, t Moon was lame, and I could ran twenty feet to his one. That's all that saved me.

Despite the motorman’s efforts the car struck the child und knocked it down. The wheel was dangerously near the baby, when the conductor leaned far over the front dasher and snatched the child away, just as the reverse lover started the car forward. With the baby in his arms, the conductor stepped down into the erowd and looked about for some one fo whom he might turn the youngster over, Somebody told him that the mother lived at No. 916 Taylor street.

A, Forsyth, who commanded the division. We quote from the General's acconnt ns follows: As Roman Nose dashed gallantly forward, and swept into the open at the head of his superb command, he was the very bean ideal of an Indian chief. Mounted on a large, cleun- limbed chestnut horse, he sat well forward on his barebacked charger, Lis kuees passing under a horse-hair lariat that twice loosely encircled tae animal's body, his horse's bridle grasped in his left hand, whieh algo closely wound in its flowing mane, and at the same time clutched his rifle at the guard, the butt of which lay partially upon and weross the sui- mal's neck, while its barrel, crossing diagonally in front of his body, rested slightly against the hollow of his left arm, leaving his right free to direct the course of his men. # man over six feet and three inches in height, beautifully formed, and, save for a crimson silk sas wited around his waist, and his moccasins on Lis feet, perfectly naked.
