The Duel in which he engaged Hsk place shortly after his arrival at Omaha City when he aroused the animosity of Dull Touey a Lila Ekl a and an exp Cert with tin pistol. Matthews refused to s.

As Tomey had Partei rated in a dozen or mor such affairs and had always a a me off victorious great was the Surprise and alarm of Matthews Friend when he promptly accepted the Challenge i have never had a pistol in my hands in my life said Matthews Jet mean to meet him. Though neither of us will is hit the next Day Tomey and Matthew s met in a held South of the town. The news of the tit he it Fig Duel had been Well and friends of Tsuli assembled Alil Totth the general Eon i Etiopi was that Matthews was As Gissla As dead.

A that Feller Matt lie is is a thoughtful one a he said to the crowd a lie comics a hit Here to get me to pop Himli and Lias his own grave ready so Vema hold the funeral with out waste a f in the ,, answered Matthews a i have had that grave Ting for there was even greater cause for As when Matthews see Oil a Williams St Isle on the held. He was known to is one of the most de a Erate in ii in Omaha. His Fame As a dead shot was As great As that of Tomey while his daring and wickedness Wen held in far Higler repute by the rough element of which in was a ruling spirit. Some trifling kindness had won this Dew a ratio to Matthews and in had sworn to my him through tin tight Anil secure fair play if he had to clean out a a Core of his own trips. Tin due lists were to stand and tire at ten paces and Williams w in immediately took charge of All arrangements wit limit much deference to tin wishes or views of his fellow second so managed it that tin grave came directly a tween them. To this arrangement Tomey Ami itis pc Oihi strenuously a objected hut Williams with an ugly frown ova a rules i Tsieia saying to is by that As tin challenged party itis principal had a right to select tin ground so i Long As no obstacles inter Ventha. Tin dirt front the grave Hail been removed to a distance so there could is no complaint on that score. Tomey Ami itis so a Otnel appealed to i tin crowd but sown found themselves a helpless minority for the predominating rough element w Ere afraid of Williams and so of course sided wit i him.

Matthews who was still covered by Tomey a second remained Serene and totally indifferent As to aim. Tomey was Luegin Tiiu to show signs of nervousness and tension. Lite pistol Arm twitched perceptibly a Nee or twice and he shifted his aim from Matthews Quot head to his heart. Tin spectators Mut i tired impatiently at tin delay but Williams paid no heed.
