Howie-Knif- e Duel on Horse- back. Lowell, Kansas, Nov. 12. Dr. V. C. Lawrence, of Vacuna, Colorado, recently of Philadelphia, has just arrived here and furnished me the following details of one of those bloody tragedies enacted no where else than on the borders: On Tuoaday (election day) Joe and Charley Bigges (brothers), Gus Norton and Tom Jackson, who had been driving a herd of cattle into Missouri, passed through here on their return home, iu The men were all Northern Texas. young, well mounted and armed, and each possessed of considerable money, the proceeds of the sale of their cattle. They stooped some two hours in this place and I had a long conversation with them. On Wednesday afternoon they camped on the banks of a small stream in the Indian Territory, about forty miles from here, and after staking out their horses while cooking their supper, sat down to a game of cards. They had hardly commenced their game when Orestes Watrous (known as Cock-eyeWatt), The Allison, and Dick Bradford, noted New Orleans gamblers, rode into the camp. These gamblers were on a professional tour from Fort Scott, and were bound for Buxton Springs and Kansas City. The new comers wero gladly welcomed and invited to camp with the herders, which invitation was quickly accepted. The Bun being some two hours high, it was suggested that there was plenty of time to have a social game or two of poker before supper, and accordingly Watrous, Bradford, Joe Bigger and Jackson took a hand. At first Bigger and Jackson won, but luck soon turned, and Watrous and Bradford were in a fair way of cleaning out the others, when Bigger detected Watrous cheating. A row at once ensued; blows were interchanged and weapons drawn by both parties, when it was proposed, in order to secure fair play, that Bigger and Watrous Bhould fight itout on horseback, their weapons being bowie knives. This was at once agreed to, and the men prepared for the bloody fray. They were divested of their coats and shirts, and their knives were bound to their right hands. They were then placed sixty yards apart, with orders to ride at each ether at full speed, passing on the left side. Both were splendid horsemen. Bigger was mounted on a fiery pony, a little over fourteen hands high, waile Watrous rode a large "watch eyed," vicious roan. At the word "go," the combatants (purred toward each other like the wind, but passed without inflicting any injury. A second and a third joust was run, when Watrous's horse received a slight cut on the flank. On the fourth round Bigger, as he passed Watrous, threw himself on the oil" side of his pony, so as to expose no portion of his person, and drove his knife deep into the neck of his adversary's steed. Watrous, divining the manoeuvre, wheeled as the blow was struck, and attempted to hamstring Bigger's pony, but succeeded only in inflicting a severe wound. This style ef fighting was then abandoned, and both men and horses appeared to became infuriated at the sight of blood. As theyneared each other the fifth time, Bigger suddenly struck Watrous with his left fist in the face, at the same nomeut cutting a fearful gash in his thigh; but before he could get away Watrous sucoeeded in driving his knife into Bigger's shoulder. The combatants and horses were becoming weak from loss of blood, when Watrous determined, if possible, to end the combat by riding down his adversary, which he thought the superior weight of his horse would enable him to do. Accordingly, on the sixth round, he male directly upon Bigger's pony, and Bigger, in attempting to avoid the collision, was severely eut in the arm and face. The pony, however, was game, and, although very lame, seized the roan by the cheek, lacerating it in a fearful manner. At the seventh encounter the horses came together with a fearful shook, the pony being thrown, falling upon his rider, but both immediately regained themselves. Watrous's horse was fast blncding to death from the stab in the neck, and Watrous himself could scarce keep his seat from the wound in the thigh . Bigger succeeded in again striking Watrous in the thigh, and was struck in return in the side. Several blows were interchanged and evaded, or fell only upon the horses. The fight had now lasted more than half an hour, when Dr. Lawrence rode up in time to witness the final round. As they came together, Watrous endeavored to rise in his stirrups and to throw himself upon Bigger, but neither horse could stand the enoounter, and both feil. Bigger was streaming with gore from tho cuts in the face, back, and arms, but was able to extricate himself, and rushed upon Watrous, who could not rise on account of the wounds in his thigh. Bigger threw himself upon Watrous with the fury of a fiend, and almost in a moment his knife had reached the unfortunate gambler's heart, and Bradford, seeing the fate of his friend, raised his pistol, fired, and Bigger fell dead across the corpse of n atrous. A free fight at once ensued, Charley Bigger, Norton, and Jackson firing upon Bradford and Allison. Bradford was killed ia the melee, and Charley Bigger and Jackson severely wounded. The wounded were taken to a cabin about half a mile from the battle field, and their wounds dressed by Dr. Lawrence, who pronounces them in a fair way of recovery. clean-limbe- A wealthy gentleman, whe owns a oouniry scat, nearly lost his wife, who fell iuto a river which flews through his He announced the narrow estates. escape to his friends, expecting their congratulations.

WILLIAMS murder case in The Michigan, now on its second trial, is one of the most remarkable cases in the criminal history of the State. Herbert Field was a native of Lewiston, Maine, and was twenty-en- e years of age at the time of his death.. lie had led a roving life,, having been a sailor and a United States marine, and having escaped two mo9t perilous shipwrecks, ene of which was of a Kussian bark near Riga. He then passed through a commercial college at Auburn, Maine, and formed the acquaintance of Miss Hill, of Lewis-towho offered to educate him, and when his health began to fail from the confinement of study, moved with him where they to Manistee, Michigan, lived together aa nephew and aunt, though in no way related. He there met Vanderpool, and formed with him a banking firm, investing about $7,000, wbiah was furnished him by Miss Hill. Vanderpool originated in Central New York: bore a good character, and has a He put 2,500 into the young wife. firm. In September, 1869, Field wished te withdraw his funds and dissolve partnership, which was finally agreed to, in spite of Vanderpool's reluctance. On Saturday night they went into the bank together, and twelve days after Field's body was found in the lake, several miles south of Manistee, having been towed away by an under current. The theory is that Vanderpool murdered him on Sunday forenoon in the bank and afterwards deposited the body in the lake. Stains upon the floor of the bank and carpeting have been analyzed, and the microscope reveals, with exact nature of theblood corpuscles, that they must have belonged to a human being, and one of the age of Field. The character of this evidence is one of the features of the trial; all efforts to invalidate the testi mony of the chemist having failed, the strong point of the defense is that Field was seen alive on Sunday afternoon, and if that is settled Vanderpool could not nave been the murderer. Thus the mass of evidence is entirely circumstantial, and only the most careful sifting and balancing will justify a verdict of guilty or clear the prisoner in the pub lic mind. This is his second trial. By the first he was found guilty, but the feeling against him was so strong that it was thought no more than fair to grant him a new trial in a different part of the State. He is en trial at Kalamazoo. LUMBER TAED. I). JAMES & Co.
