A Illomly Hurl
As the friends of the late Mr James
Harkey wish to know tho particulars
of the fight In which ho lost his lire
wo publish tho following fioni the
Warn V iimificr
Information reached this clt Satur-
day In n letter to Mr Win It Davis
from that gentlemans ranch ut thu
head of Penso river in tho Pan Han-
dle four htindrid miles northwest ot a
tertitle light of lecent occurrence thort
In whkh two herdsutiti one of whom
formerly lived iu this county nnd Is
well known hero were the reckless
actors James llnrbee a son of Mr
John llarboc of this clt and Junius
llarkt foriut rly ot San Saba count

camp flro on the night of January 2nd
Kor triviality of oilgin nnd tltsjierate
lesults It is uniqiialed ti niithing no
liavo ever before tindertnki n to rnoid
The young men were unpin ed in Ihe
snmo ranch had bun nn friquuut
drills1 togethd and had lung sua
tuined towards nnch other tho relation
of intiinnto friends Hut they were
cow hos used to tho nltd life of the
oxtremn frontier nml imbued with the
ttespt ration that such n life creatis
On the night in question the young
men with their pistols butklid around
them were sitting in high gltcnta
camp Ire with two post fn ighters who
had bivouacked with them tor the
night Tho freighters nero the only
other oersons present Nn one else
was within mlb s of tliein A general
conversation in ttiu course of wliUli a
good tunny wild western stories wero
told was carried on for some time
Tiling tif tliiss this talking rensid and
limine began a slntplo little ditty
commencing Dicky Wlmktiim Dick
singing it at tho top of his voice
Harkey snld pin fully that ho thought
any man who would sing such n song
wns a foot Harbee became nfTcndod
nt the remark and nsked petulantly If
Harkey meant to call him n fool Hur
key replied In the smo spirit and In-
stantly pistols were drawn nnd the fir-
ing cominencid The freighters sprang
to places of concealment leaving the
young men tn fight out in the glarn of
a sicklv ennip tiro the desperate dm t
in which the had engaged Timonnd
time again until nenrl a dozen shots
had been Orcd tho reports rang sharp-
ly ont ns springing from sido tn side
now hero and now there the duelists
plied their bloody work Then nil was
silt nee save a single feoblo groan
Harbeo hnd been shot threo times
through the bodv nnd when tho freight
ers got tn him lifts wns alrimtv extinct

Angora Goats
As to tlio adaptability of tho cnlturo
of the Angora goat tn tho elevated
regions of tho South Col Petois of
Georgia sayst
1 hitvo owned theso animals frniu
six distinct importations those brought
over by lr J II Davis in 1848 ptov
ing tn be superior in many respects to
any of tha moro recent Iniluirlntlons
Onouf tho most valuable Interesting
and remarkablo traits of thn Angoras
is tbe rapidity with which lieeco
beariug goats can be obtained by using
thoroughbred backs to cross on tlio
common shorthorned ewegnats of tlio
tountry The second cross produces a
goat wth a akin valued for rugs mats
and gloves The fifth cross known by
many breeders as full blood will yield
a lleeeo not Inftrlor to much of tho
mohair imported flora Asia Minor
Tho fifth cross can be readily obtained
In fivo nr sixjenrs Thoroughbred
bucks should alwas bo used because
Iho progeny of the socalled fullblood
bucks varv greatly and tho upward
progress is by no means satisfactory
Tho Angorn is ft burtlv Industrious
and self sustaining animal and can bo
claaseil as herbivorous Helng active
and vigorous thoy roam nter wldo
ranges of rountry giving valuo to
worthless vegetation refused by most
other animals s and will feed and fat-
ten at double tho dlstanco from water
that sheep can as they travel faster
and endure more I have for twenty
jeart bred them largely and liavo ob-
served the following rules In my se-
lection of stock bucks i
In peihgrtt dating back to Asiatic
Importation
leers weight nnd length of the
long silky ringleted white lleece ami
lis freedom from ketnp and mane un
the back and neck
In oral size anil vigor long pen-
dant cars anil upright spiral horns
If that point lias not been already
reached I believe It will be when as
in tho history of tho merino sheep
finer specimens of Hit Angora Ameri
can Itrrsl may be seen hern lhan can
be found in their haunts in Asia Minor
