Standard. James Bowie. ANECDOTES OF TEE IN'TZETOE or -TEE BOWIE KNIFE TOLHICT ONE WHO KNEW EDI. On one•occasion Bowie, whose repu- tation had reached 31emphis, 'arrived by boat at that city, or rather at what was then Inewn - as the Third . Chicka saw Bluffs. The bank from the boat landing to the top was about one , hun dred and fifty feet high and a large number 'of people were watching the arrival of the strangers. Looking down of them recognized Bowie as he the remark, "There comes Jim Bowie." "What !" shouted a - big flatboatman, then known as the "Memphis Terror," as he looked down the bluff ; "what Jim. Bowie ? That's ., the fellow I've been looking for for months. Jim Bowie ! Why, him, I'll whip him ao quick he won't know what hurt _ I'll whip him if I never whip another man as long as I live ! Stand by, boys, and see the fun !" Bowie clinic slowly up the bank. In his hand he carried an old umbrella., He had no pistols and was evidently not expecting or in fact prepared for s fight. This fact did not escape the now thoroughly interested spectators. Up went the flatboatman promptly, as Bowie reached the top of the bluff. "Ia your risme:Jim Bowie !"" he asked. Bowie replied that it was. "Then," shouted the &flu:drums, as . he equaredoff, "I think you a damned here and now."- Bowie was a man of few words. H stood and gazed at his adversary, who was more emboldened than ever. "I think you're a damned coward," be yelled, ,"and I'm „going to knock you head off," and so saying the "Mem p 1 : Terror" advanced to the conflict. Bowie never flinched. His keen ey e was fixed on the "Terror," who at this moment was face to faCe with him. But as the man of Memphis drew a dirk from his breast, Bowie stepped back foot and thrust out his umbrell as if to . keep his antagonist at bay. . The "Memphis Tenor," seizing the umbrella with one hand, made a pan at the inventor of the famous knife with the other. In so doing be pulled the `umbrella to himself, leaving free in the right hand of Bowie his murderous weapon, which to this moment had been concealed rn the folds of the impromptu sheath: The sight of Bciwie standing there, with4lie knife in his hand and the gleam of vengeance in hiker, Wals ton much for "The Terror." . . • From the bouncing-'bully berbecamc. transformed into a craven cotard in a second.

I was mistaken in my man." Bowie advanced a step. 'Don't—don't kill me?" beseeched .the bully; "for God's sake, man, don't go for me with that scythe , and I swear to you I'll never attack.anotber man as long as I live." Bowie looked at his nowthOroughly demoraliied opponent for a , moment, and then turning on his heel with the expression, nletward," walked rapidly away.
