THE SPEEDY JVSTICE TO A DES PERATE OUTLAW. How Hart Adieu tiled Nuiarrom l ow- ardlj Mardcn by Man Who. Sup- , poard to b Drowned, Met i m Violent Iteath. In 1315 there lived in Southern Ala bama two planters who-te land joined and lay ia that fertile delta between the Tombigby and Alabama rivers. TiaJr names were respectively Adams and Doran. Burton Adams was gener ally regarded as a dangerous man, ready to cut or shoot on slight provo cation, but it was believed by his neighbors that his evil temper and bud habits were fostered and aggravated by his wife's teaching and example. She was at strife with, all the families around and bad no associates. Espec ially did she hate the Doi-ans. The ro were three brothers of this name and they and Adams had been schoolboys together and they did their best to maintain friendty relations with their quarrelsome neighbor, but the trouble came at last On a visit to Mobile Mrs. Adams mot two of the Doran sisters in a large millinery establishment. Kcgardless of the public charaoter of the place she gave the. two . ladies a vulgar tongue-lashing and was at once ejected by the proprietor. Wild with rage the woman. looked up her husband. Between drink and his wife's provo cation Adams scarce knew what he was doing. lie attacked the store keeper with a knife and cut him fear fully and .then mounted his horse and rapidly rode away. The Domns were at ouco warned, and towards evening Pierce, the old est brother, accompanied by several well-armed friends, started for home. Tho road ran by the river bank and was bordered by dense shrubbery. Pierce was abend, and suddenly n gun cracked and he dropped from his sad dle. His friends rode into the thicket, but saw no one until a negro servant called out: "There he goes!" Sure enough, Burt Adams, on his big sorrel, was galloping away up the river road, lie was closely followed and at the cry of ''horse thief a number of peo ple ahead drew up across tho road and turned the fugitive. The Alabama river was in flood, the current running like a mill race, and full of driftwood, but the murderer did not hesitate to plunge in. Before he was fifty yards away his pursuers were on the bank, and under a volley of rifle balls Adams went under. His horse made a struggle, but whs swept away; but nothing was seen of the rider. "A good riddance," was the general verdict. Pierce Down had a fight for life, but finally recovered. ; Mrs. Adams had always been a cruel mistress, but now her wickedness knew no restraint Her servant wero beaten and mutilated until her neighbors be came indignant and protested, but in vain. At length the end came. One night in December the sky was lit by a red glow and it was known that tbe fire wns at the Adms pluntation. When the neighbor enlloped up the mansion wes glowing like a furnace and tho negroes wero all shut up in their quarters, und tho only answer they made to the Inquiries of the whitos was: "Fo' de Lord, Mnssa, we don't know nuthin1 'bout it." No one doubted but that the woman had been murdered by her outraged bondsmen and the house fired. There were no witnesses but negroes, and they wero not com potent to testify, and so the matter ended. The planta tion and hands were sold imder a mort gage held by one of the Mobile banks, and bought by Bainos Doran, who built a new house and moved there with his family. This was two years after the killing of Adams. One day a servant brought Mr. Doran a paper he had found on the house porch. It was addressed to Barnes Doran and warned him to leave the old Adams plantation, as the writer was resolved to avenge Burt Adams' death, nnd would kill any one living on his lands. There was no signature, but Dornn made investigations Hnd found th t one of his negroes who had buea a slave of Adams', had left the planta tion that morning. Going to his over seer Doran said: 'Here, Jonas, got a horse; take tMs note to Constable Duffy, and stop at Beimou's and tell him to curou at once and bring two of bis bet di)','s." .Anoiher mesngor whs sent to ssverrtl of the neighbor nnd inside of two hour a putty of six armed men crowd the river. A rout of Sam's wtia produced and snuffed at by the dugs aud, held In hand by the tracker Bnison, thoy entered tho woods, A rough roik.1 lial boon cut through lh den no foreal th si rwuclied to the MliiUlnpi ktnte line, but there were numerous hog tr.ieln, and Into ono of tint o the tluj turned, iui't to the ground. An hour's walk brought them to n smalt clearing, in which stood a low, log cabin, Suioka was coming out of tbe rhlmney at tho end. "I thought iJi," Mil tho coiilM-. brave Utile lrUhmn.

Although wounded Adams bad clung to a Hosting log in the river and reached tho opposite sido tiueon. lie then made his way to Bailey's, a local desperado of the worst type, and here remained until bis wound healed. He knew Bailey well and distrusted him. and took means to insure his silence by shooting him through the head at the first favorable opjiortunity, nnd then m ule his way to the -Low or Mis sissippi. , Ilearlii'f of the death of his wife and the loss of his property he became desperate and returned to Alabama with the determination to kill every Dornn on sight, nnd bo found in his old slave a faithful nnd efllciout co ndjutor, who was now awaiting his coming. : Benson nn 1 the dogs were sent away, the negro was threatened with death if bo gave un alarm, nnd tho party set themselves to watch through tbe chinks in the logs. After two hours' watch one of the parly gave a "hist, here ho comes," and a tall m m came trolling through the clearing, mounted on a big bay. It was Adam, sure enough. Ho gave a low whistle, and muttering t him self, dismounted, hid bis hore and pushed open tbe puncheon door. Duffy was behind it and al once seized him. "Burt Adams, you are my prisoner in the name of the Slut of Alabama." In a flash the outlaw's bowlo was out nnl the constable rccolvel a deadly thrust. The others nt once pitched in, but Adams fought like a tiger, and it was not until he had been thrice shot through the body that he dropped. He uttered no word, but looked at bis captors with a wild glare, aud making a threatening gest ure with his hand, gave a shudder and was gone. HE SQUARED HIMSELF. Iluw New York M:i liKiil"l in tVb:k ra (Jot Inta Trouble. The fashion of letting the beard grow as a protection to the throat was never, It seems to me, so general ai It was last winter, says the New York Star. The addition makes a wonder ful diffeicnco in the nppearanco of some faces. I heard a lawyer tell a story last winter that illustrates that fact. "Vou will notice," he said to a party of friends, "that I have quite a strong growth of beard. I stopped shaving early in October. The other day I wns riding on the front platform of a car, as 1 was smoking, and among the passengers who got on board wa u cousin of mine, her husband, and their young baOy. I hal not seeu tho lady since the day she was married, in the summer of 1889, and the hus band never saw me but on the night, of the weddioz- Then 1 had enly a mustache. I looked in r.t the front door and nodded to my cousin, but she did not return tho1 ralutatiou. I repeated it. but still there was no response. Being convinced that sho did not know mo I determined to have some (un, so I kept smiling at and nodding to her. She began to be evi dently disconcerted, and in n few min utes I noticed that she was whispering to her husband. After the talk the gentleman left his teat nnd went to the rear platform, when he spoke excitedly to the conductor. That worthy camo through tho car, i;nJ, opening the front door, nuid to me: " 'You must either stop insulting the lady in the car or get oft. Hor hus band hus complained about your con duct.' "1 told him I did not-want to insult any ono, and as he began to get ex cited I passed into the ear, and, takincr hold of a strap, leaned over the lady and said: " 'Why, Minnie, how are you?' "She looked at me for a moment and then exclaimed: ''Cousin Eldic! How arn yo.i? 1 didn't know yojt with whiskers.' "The car was pretty wijll crowje.l. and as everybody understood that 1 had boon complained of, there win a general lauyh at tho denouement," , ut It fcliort.

A writer for the New York Ledger thus describe bis first kangaroo hunt: 'In my first kangaroo hunt I came very near 'losing the number of my mea.' Mr friend had a pack of kungaroo dogs that were considered tho best in that part of the country; they were bred and trained for that purpose just as fox-hounds are bred and trained in your part of the world. We were mounted on two of the best horses on the station, and had two blacks along also well mounted, their business be ing to tuke charge of the dogs and make themselves useful. A black was sent out two or three hours ahead of tis to locate a group of kangaroos and meet us st a designated point. "We met him as agreed, and he in dicated where some kangaroos wero feeding, u little distance beyond a clump of trees which ho pointed out We went along very quietly, using the trees as a screen, and managed to get within a quarter of a mile of them be fore they saw us. Then they stood on their hind legs and took a good look at us, and then they jumped os though on electric battery hud been turned on beneath them. "We started the dogs, and it was a harp race between them and the kan garoos, the latter having Bucb a good start that the dogs didn't seem to have much of a show. We had roused up a kangaroo family of seven in all, the younger being a "joey" that was soon overtaken by tho dogs und killed. J ho bead of tho family was an "old man," a wo oall the full-grown males, and he was a fine fellow, standing-nearly six feet high. "The 'old rarta' led off ,as though he had started to win tin Melbourne cup, and his leaps seemed to be 30 or forty feet long, but, of course, wero not Ho went over the ordinary cat tle fences as though they were so many straws, and tho rest of them did the same, all save another joey that came to grief und wus disposed of by tho dog as the first o.io had been. The killing of the joeys delayed things so much that the dogs had not yet got up to the old man when ho reached a water-hole nnd I realized the dangers of a kangaroo hunt. "The old man was In the water, up to his neck, und the dogs wero swim mlng around or standing at the edge of tho hole as we came up. We came on ut full speed, and my horse stopped so short at the edge of the water that I wus pitched over his head right into the pool. The impetus carried mo a good distance forward, und as the water-hole was a small one I was within a few feet of the kangaroo, who was standing at bny, ready to light to the last. He made for roe at once. "When a kangaroo Is pursued and can get to water he has men and dogs at an advantage. I'he experienced dogs know enough to keep out of his reach, but the young ones uro apt to, vonturo too near, and are suddenly seized In the creature's forelegs, which servo him for arms, lie holds the docs under water till he drowns them, or ho may rip. them open with his hind leg, which has a powerful claw in front; this claw can inflict a fatd wound at a single blow, and very oi'ton in a hunt one or more of the dogs are apt to be killed by it Whon he can not get to water, the kangaroo places his b.ick against the largest tree he cun find and defends himself with a bravery that is worthy of admiration. It is dangerous for dogs or men to venture within his reach at this time, and if his hunters are unprovided with firearms, the fight may last for soino time and quite likely result in favor of the kanzaroo. 'Tho kangaroo reached me with his fore paws, but before he could grasp mo one of the dogs hud him by tho throat d diverted his attention long enough to t-naijlo me to gel out of tho way with tho aid of one of tho blacks, who jumped into th pool almost us soon as I was thrown there. The water was about four feel deep, i nd i scrambled out very quickly. "Seeing that I was safe, my friend's next concern was for his fuvorit ) do.f, Jack, Unit was risking hlmielf on my account, Tho kangaroo folded his arms around the dog aud then pro ceeded to push h!n under tho water, but hi proceed lags were brought to an end by a shot from my friend' rifle, which ha hud unslung from hi shoulder.
