The rival shows fought foi pat

rel extended to the cowboys them
selves, and in Hamburg, Germany,
the shows pitched their tents direct
ly opposite each other on the same
street. The cowboys knew theie
was going to, bo wnr, aud they filled
their revolvers and cartridge belts
with real, sure enough powder and
ball instead of the blank cartridges
used in the performance.
One afternoon Apache George
stepped from the tent into the street
just as one of Carver's cowboys
came out of the tent across the street

George does not claim any special
merit, but with the riata, lasso, lanet

truly a wonder. He is a handsome

has led, very much of a gentleman

The melee broke up both shows,
and as soon as the men were able to
leave the hospital they returned to
the United States. Apache George
at once struck out for the plains,
and ever since has worked off and

Two Immigrants Stricken With
the Plague at Halifax.
C. Star.
The Associated Press dispatches
announce tni3 morning that two
cases of genuine Asiatic cholera
have developed among a shipload of
immigrants landed a few days ago
at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The immi
grants were from Hamburg and
there were 470 of them bound for
Cleveland, Chicago, Toledo and In
dianapolis. Before the discovery of
the plague many had been allowed
to proceed on their journey west
ward aud some of these had tickets
for Chicago. One of the two cholera
suspects detained in the Halifax
hospital is Carl Erickson, from
Stainwang, Norway, ticketed to Chi
cago. The steamer which brought over
the immigrants was . one of the dis
reputable "tramp" boaU which pay
little or no atteutiou to government
regulations.
The responsible steamship lines a
dispatch from Washington says, are
woikiuir ia full accord with the
treasury department. Dr. Glavis,
the Washington representative of
these lines, 6ays that the Hamburg
packet line has discontinued laud
ings at Halifax, because the quaran
tine regulations at that point are
lax. He said it was a matter of self
preservation for the reputable com
panies to see that no cholera sus
pects were brought to this country.

Captain Atkisou arrived from Liver

Captain Atkison says that in conver

months ago, Spurning told him of a
remarkable experience. While round
