The Tntlli nf History
At the bcglnnlne of the Vondervoort libel
* ults ono of our contemporaries made odlw
torlal reference to what It calls a dastardly ,
brutal and unprovoked assault which Mr
Hosowntcr had raado years ago upon Major
llalcombo For two days past the World
Herald has , with ft Rreat flourish of
" trumpets , promised a treat to the people of
dmaha In thoshapoof aprotusoly illustrated
description of Hoscwator as a slugger
The palpable object of this pleco of mnligr
riant enterprise Is to boltttlo by ridiculous
cartoons an encounter that was not In the
least discreditable to the editor of The Hed ,
ana Indirectly to prejudice the case now
pending In court However disngreeablo
the uncalled for revival of this eplsodo may
bo to all parties concerned , we nro now
forced to reproduce the detailed account of
the encounter ns renorted at the tlmo It
occurred The following npponrcd on the
local page of Tun Daily LIeb of July l > ,
18TII : •
During the paBt two or three wcoka The
Her and Republican have had no controversy
U r of any kind whntovor On Saturday there
Mappcarcd in the Herald a card signed by
r Judge Townsend , tantalizing to and rcliocts
ing upon the colored people Mr Town
send , as probate Judge , was applied to on
the Fourth of July by a colored man for n
license to marry n whlto woman , The Judge
declined to issue the license nnd Wrote on
the back of the application sonio insulting
advice to men cf color , who wanted to marry
out of their race On Monday Tun Hee
.criticised the action of the Judge who Is n
_ J ? democrat in the following editorial para
v graph :
' • If any public man wants to mnko a com
modious nss of himself in a publiu Journal ho
always ought to be accorded that glorious
privilege For this reason wo interpose no
objection to the publication by the Herald of
Judge Townsond's ivitty and weighty in
dorsement on that rejected application for a
lnltcegcnatcd inurrinyo license "
Yesterday morning the Republican pub1
llshed n scurrilous artlclo , evidently in repll-
cation to The Uses criticism Last even
ing Mr Ilosowater requested Malor Itisdon
to deliver the following letter to Manager

This letter was dolivcrod to Major llal-
coniDo by Major Iiisdon at 7 p. m. , but no
respouso was made Instead of the expected -
pocted npologv the following defiant item
appeared in this mornings Republican :
If K. Ilosowater w 111 apply to the proper per '
son , lie will yet his till of satisfaction for the
article that appeared In these columns yester
day morning
A bout 11 o'clock todav , having completed
his editorial labors , Mr Kosowator pur ,
chased n small rawhldo from AKrod Koiloy , ,
nnd proccodod to Douglas street with a view
to mooting Major Ualcombo in the most
prominent thoroughforo In the city in order
to disgrace him as publicly as possible Ho
stationed himself in the oftlco of Gcneml ' 1
' in the second story of the Caldwell {
block and romalnod on the lookout for Ual
combo About noon Ualcombo appeared [ ,
walking rapidly past the Culdwoll block
rO'Unen rushed down the stairway
and overtook Major Ualcombo at the Bouth-
west corner of Douglas nnd Fourteenth He
Immediately applied the rawhldo to Mujor
Ualcomho's neck and face , striking him
eight or ten lashes , Inflicting several cuts or
marks upon his person Major Ualcombo
i attempted to gouge Mr Hosowutcr's eyes
and scratch his face : but the lash was play
' i ing so lively about his neck und face that ho Z
[ goon gave up this style of defense , and being
at least a foot taller , suddenly leaped upon
Mr Ilosowater nnd both came to tha
I ground together Major Ualcombo , witli his
fcllno nature , renewed the scratching
process , slightly breaking the skin on Mr
Hosowator'a right hand All the time Major
Ualcombo's efforts were directed to the cao-
turo of the stinging cowhide , but in this ho 1
did not succeed , us Mr Kosowator had talten
the precautionary measure of havitig it tied
around his wrist The two mon were soon
uvparated by bystanders and the cowhide
was taken charge of by Steve Moallo Air
Hosewator then told Major Ualcombo that
ho would cowhide him for every Insult , such
- , us the ono ho bad offered , unless ha apolo-
" " Kized , ( o which Major Ualcombo ropllcd that
ho never intended Jo apologi/o to him for
L. jr * anything
The affair created intense oxcltemont and
attracted a largo crowd of citizens to the ,
spot - The general street talk , from what
wo can hear , la that Mr , Kosowator pursued ]
exactly the right course , and many ex-
prssod their regrets that ho did not use a
club , or oven a doudly weapon
Although Mr Kosowator was advised to
arm himself ho noioinutorlly declined to dose
so , stating that no only wished to dlsgraco
and degrade in the most public manner the [
man who insulted his futnily and deliberately
refused to apologize for the same when
politely requested to do so
The Ilniitlst Ilovivnl Meuflnirs
The revival work at the First Baptist

grace During the week Just closed the nt-
tendanco each night has steadily increased

Cullis combines the graces of the Christian
gentleman There is ovorytbing in his style
to win und hold the most cultivated audience ,
and yet ut the same tlmo to charm aud do-
v. light the less educated A number of the

J shown tholr interest in these meetings by
* their presence and they are all heartily de

Gives a Comprehensive Mind
Mr II 1- * . Lewis , principal of the high
school I certainly do thiuk that a man
with a clnssicnl education will make a
much r greater success in the business ,
world than ono who has not The study
of the classics drills and broadens the >
mind [ to concise and thorough thinking
ns nothing else can , Some very inter
osting and valuable statistics wore re-
conlly scoured in Massachusetts which
show that a comparatively small per
cent , , of business mon having a classical I
education nro among those who fail in (
business ' For myself , I would ndviso
every voung man to secure a classical 1
education It will give him a stronger ,
bettor ' , moro comprehensive mind for
business or whatever calling ho may
adopt ' in lifo .
It Trains tlio Fnoultto
Qanon Doherty of Brownell hall I
believe | that it is a decided advnntago i
.
to have a classical education llrst on
account ' of the gymnastioiniluonces and '
the general training of the faculties
through I the studies of the classics
These t nneient tongues nro the vohieles i
of ' expression of two great people One j
of i them , the Greeks < excelled in art , 1
poetry i and philosophy The other , the 1
Homnns , were great bulldors ami excelled -
celled ; in architecture Therefore , in i
reading ' the masterpieces of these great ;
nations ' the olTect on the mind in development -
opmont < iB great ,
Next , the study of the classics is im
mediately practicable because it is
proven by the fact that 8,001) of the i
words in the English are of Latin !
ctymalogy ' aud nil the terms in the var .
ious sciences nro Latin or Greek A
persons can hardly pronounce a son
touco without giving utterance to nn-
gllci'/od Latin or Greek words , especially -
ally in the lnnguugc of philosophy or ;
scion co
Of course a man may have a ono-idea
education itnd achieve success in that
one line If ho wishes to become a
plumber ho may study only these things
which have a direct applicntion to his
trade ; if ho desires to become a physician -
cian ho may study only matorla medtca ,
chemistry und uuntotny But all men
desire moro or loss to bo useful in n so-
oial sense as well ns in abusinosssphoro
nnd , to attain this , they must bo
gonorully educated In the proper
60HBO of education they should have
a knowledge of these languages which
nro Indicative of the highest clvihza-
tion and the greatest advancement in l
poll ti arts Tlio Hebrew language cou-
tains the most subtle thought , the
Grecian tongue the most subtle oxprcs-
sion and the very study of these Ian
gttnges is nn education ,
The business man can ill afford to
consldor himself tnoroly u unit , Ho is
also the bona of a lamily Only olght
or nine hours are spent in business
The romaiudor of his time ho is a'socinl
being To enjoy the comforts and
advantages of sociability ho must
have the mental power , of giving and
responding If no doesn't ' familiarize
himself with the history and language
of the civilized races of the past ho do-
prlves himself and society of a great and
prlcoloss enjoy ment
The best test is to bo found , in the
advice of these business men who have
received a clusslcal education , and uot
iu the assertions of these who have not
on joyed sucli advantages
Of course , an education for the pros
cntday to bo utilitarian ought not to be '
conllnod'to the classics alone , but sol
Iqouco and manual art should also bo |
taught The eye und ear should also
bo cultivated ,

They took the old Indian or miners1

This llrst led through dreary barrens ,
rank with liowdercd sago brush Then
came the beautiful plains and , aftertt

the \ tiioiiutaliis Iu the timber land ,
the air was torobiuthinntod with the
pungent odors of the pine , spruce , bals
satn-iir ; nnd hemlock , whllo , on the
plaiiiH , it was mitiglod with the richer ,
though i less palpable perfumu of tha late
autumn ilowors , whoso bright vorsl-

strawberry plants which , everywhere ,
relieved the gloom of that monotonous

For miles and miles the ovidonccs of
animated . nature had been discoura -
Ingly scarce , but suddenly the teamster
stood up in his scat and exclaimed :
"Thero's a doer trackl"
With ludicrous alacrity the hunters
leaped 1 , from the wagon , Winohcstoru
in | , hnud , as if they expected to
got a sliot at once , never giving
any consideration to the fact that the
track had been made days before by
some roaming buck who had conio dowii
from : the mountains for a little promo
undo on the plain , und at that time wns
probably fifty miles away
But you have never been ofT with a
party of doer hunters ? Well , that was
the ilrst bign of big game nnd it must
bo duly examined and commented upon
So ; , down they wont on all fours , and
with bulging optics began to serutinizo
these delicate hoof-cuts in the sand
Dr Galbrnlth feojs thom with his linger
tips , Ginn smells thom , while the col-
oiiq.1 jams the nose of his hound into
them , all talking at nnco at a rate that
would have balllod the wildest efforts of
the most dextrous stenographer
As the sun wus approaching the mo-
ridlnnl li.no . Galbraith , who was the
nominal leader , thought it was
timoo holt and lunch All
were unanimous on this point , and , ns
tho.v climbed over the brow of a slight
blulT , a tauglo of golden sunshine glit-
torod through the emerald boughs
ahead , the air smelled dump and swcot
, with the balsamic odors of the low
lands { , and , on a few rods further they
beheld strotohod out before thom a

"So' .t is , " echoed Gnlbrnith , 'tjumo ,
out here , boys , and Fll out an onion , "
As the jaded broncos wore being unhooked -
hooked , the deor-huntors gazed about
tliem •
The scene was quiet and delightful
The , faint cries of three or four fishf
hawks { circling around the top of a dis-
tan t hemlock touched the oar A king
lishor j , with his pure .o back gleaming
in i the light , watched tho-wntor from a
dead ( limb , whllo a flockof teal , steering
out from a hollow in the bank , pushed
through a Hold of reeds , and made their ;
way diagonally across the lake
Lunch over , and Dr Glnir , tlio colonel [
and Fuller started on in front of the ,
wagon ' for a little exercise They had [
been 1 gene about a qunrtor of an hour
when the rest of the partv resumed L
their journey
. Suduonly , as they were rounding a
bond ' in the woods , Drs Galbraith and 1
Conkling ' were startled by tli3 crack of
a j Winchester , followed by ono und nn-
ether until llvo distinct reports had L
riven ' the troncliiint air
The two old vets jumped from the
vohiolo , thinking correctly that it was
a I deer that had been shot nt , and that
it ! might run their way An iinorvalof
lutenso quietude followed , nnd then the ,
colonel ( , who had mounted an old log ,
called aloud , pointing down the woods I
to their loft :
There ha goes , Dee n big buck , nnd 1
a beauty ! "
And , sure enough , there ho did go ,
glancing , through the yellow under
frowth ! ' ; like a brown Btreak anoblo fol-
ow with big nutters , his pointed nose
well up and bis black Hug making a
vertical line behind
Qulckor than thought , to bo on rap
port with the novelist , the royal animal I
buried himself from sight , und quickly
thorcafter the doctor und the colonel 1
behold Ginn and his whiskers crushing
through the hopples in his wake , his
short logs measuring ground with u ve
locitythat was astonishing , his beaver
gene and lils raven ringlets stroatning
in the wind behind , Ho , too , was soon
lost to sight , and the colonel ro-
ninrkpd :
"That's the Inst well ever sco of Ginn
and some day so/no wandering hunter
will ( hid his bones blenched white by
the storms of winter and the suns of
summer , hidden away in yonder
swamp "
"Go'lang , thar , blntik you ! " and the
teamster crucked his whip and on the
wagon rolled again
In the course of an half hour the
others wore overtaken and lo , and
beheld , Ginn wns with thom ! Ills face
was rosy , celestial rod , nnd the great
beads of porsphation chased each ether
down his classic brow , while a rout hero
and there in his up parol , told ot the
dosneration of his recent chase
They were all three tulking and
quarreling about the doer , and Gal [
lirath ! aud Hrliablo soon learned just
how thu matter stood Ginn.Fullorand
Conkling were climbing a slight acclivity : -
clivity in the woods just beyond the
lake , when Fullgr , who had loft his own
rifle in the wagon , saw the buck graz-
lug in a putchoi ground hemlock on
thoirletf !
"A dearl a dear ! " ho screamed , just
like un old donr > hunter , mechanical 1
making a lunge und selling the barrel
'il Ginn's Winehostor , nnd struggling
ft rlously for its possession , shouting nt
the top of hts voice nt the snmo tlmo !
Shoot html shoot him shoot him on
} tlio ' spot , nny sjiot , just so you shoot
hlinl"w
Of course this outburst alarmed the
buck , tiiiil , ns ho started oil Ginn nndr
Conkling , In turning round , ran into
each other , but recovered in tlmo to
piihinnway upon tholr Winchesters
"Iio's hit ! shrieked Ginn at his last
shot ; "didn't jou sco the hair HyV"
. "Vcs , " replied Conkling , but It wns
nil fnst to the dour ! "
"No sir he's mine ! " distractedly conII
Untied the young disciple of Kscul'nplus ,
nnd before nny one could stop him ho
dushod auuy inlinad pursuit
" Tustns I expected , " observed Galtr
brnlth us the recital was llulshod , mid
in ' Dr Ginn's oxonornllon , gcntU'inen , I
will say it was the llrst wild dour

Hugged clouds , black nnd lowering ,
now begun to move athwnrt the llrinani
incut : , und the golden sec no had
changed into ono of melancholy gray ,
One of the prowling showers of the reh
gion had overtaken thom , and u very
disagreeable [ and a very wet mist begnn
to ( glimmer ngalnst the broad trunks of
the ( ] spruce and hemlocks , aud over the
dark cavities in the wogds
Finally they halted in a deep ravitio ,
through which a dnrk-browod llttlo
stream ' clove its way , twisting and
winding llko a wator-snnko striving In
the { l herbage The mist had now turned
into a steady drlz/.lo and the night
promised to bo of Cimmerian
density Fortunately for them , near
wharo they stopped , stood an old trapn
por's shnnty , vncatod , but in a pretty
good state of repair In ono corner ,
was found the head of a wolf , dry and
shrunken the skin of a pine mnrton
and a couple of broken steel-traps ; in
another , fragments ot a log-chain , a
number of fur-strotcliors , some empty
Winchester . shells , and a worn out foxh
skin cap , while all about were scattered -
torod hundry worthiest ! articles that
plainly told of the trappers habitat
Here , the night was pnsbod Morn
ing came at last , gray , dull and disn
piriting
The nearer trees looked ghastly in
misty air Overhead ; ragged scuds
were ] Hying , while a very cloud of heavy
vapor was rolling off up ntnong the
trees : The dripping forest und tlio
crooked rivulet , moz/.o-tintod with
ceaseless drops , looked forlorn and dos
olatc The colonels hound was lying
in the shanty door , snapping ut the
drops that splintered on nis nose , or
gazing { off into the woods with ono oara
Hap ' erect Breakfast ever , and
the hunters bade adieu to the old
wolf-catchor's dun , and , in a sort
ol forced gayoty.continucd tholr wearp !
some journey Finally , the drizzle entirely -
tiroly ceased , the bark of asqirrol came
from ! a windfall by the roadsfdo , und , to
the wand of sunbeam the misty curlnin
lifted { , and there wus the instantaneous
glitter of the diamond on all sides
A half hour passed , and another
spasmodic shower came , swallowing up
tlio woods in its gray glimmer , but
quickly changing again into jewel work
under the rays of the sun For the
next hour there wns a quick intcrweav-
ing of rain and sunlight The former
would streak the scene , then blue eyes
would J open in the sky The arcades in
the ' forest would glow , darken , be
masked in the shower , uiyl then Hash
again into laughing light A.t lust the
heavy J , leaden mantle broke iuto largo
fragments ' , the great jagged masses of
clouds J kindled into gorgeous colorsand
tlio cool breeze poured liquid balm
around . Each trco and bush throw oil
its J glancing gems , like a door after a
bath ' , while the whole landscape
breathed ' the freshest fragrance
Soon they were in the monn-
tains , and wilder grew the
scenery and worse grow their
\ way The close forest thrust out
the sharp ends of logs cut nsun 'dor for
tlio ' track , and shaped a groined roof
above Oil to the northwest , lay a
grand f snoop of mountainous country ,
dark , sullen and gloomy , even in the
golden f sunshine Here , there and
everywhere , trees , tall , dead and gray ,
{ old patriarchs of the primeval forest ,
llko colonudos upholding the bliio
dome ; trees withered , bout and
scorched l , strewed ever all tholr dull
tins \ , yet hardly discoverable umidst
the ' universal green Heavy clouds ,
with 1 bright edges , reared their gorge
ous ] architecture all around the horizon
to ' the * north : great , frowning , gloomy
peaks I , sturdy us the Himalayas.and
along ' the west cottony snow banks with
awful ' gaps between , all combined to 1
maho ' the scone ono of irresistible i
grandeur I and impressiveiicss
Just at dusk , nftor a long days I
journey , they reached their camping
place high up in the mountains The
wagon unloaded , tents up , and a hugo '
lire blazing , the hunters gazed around 1
thom The solitude wns pnrfoct , the i
loneliness oppressive Overhead were i
occasional ' streaks of sable sky , with i
here and there the misty luster of some ,
emulous < planet shining forth They
could ' see the black trunks
immediately about thom as the 1
glare i from tlio llro • played ever
them , but the rest was lost as if in a t
dungeon Ebon niiissos told of the j
dearer thickets not astir , notabreath ,
the wood was ono hugo grave , and so I
deathly was thostillnoss that the Runic :
fetter of Gloipnir might have boon 1
woven from it
llowevor , the night , like nil nights
have a fashion of doing , passed , and the
mumlng dawned bright and entrancing
with the delicious moU'ow warmth of
the early Indian summer sun immersing
woods mid mountains in adolugoof 1
topaz glory The hunters were up with
the rod squirrel and in bouyont spirits
sot out upon their first hunt , which was
unsuccessful , although scvoral black
tails had been jumped and ono oik
soon
The next night it snowed and thawing
in the morning , left the loaves and
grass soft and pliable , just such a con
dition that delights the still hunter
Just as the party was gottlng ready to
sally forth they hoard an oik whist
ling higli up in the mountnlnsn '
Galbraith and Brimble , Con It- *
ling und Fuller , hurried on >
j
tihoad , while Ginn followed
leisurely in the rear It was a bright
morning and it always d.d inalio Ginn
tired to hurry So ho took his time '
admiring the beauties of the wild {
scenery us ho climbed The tops of the
yellow pines on the distant slopes shone
like gold , the old logs and crumbling
stumps looked mellow und rich in the
early light , and the stoma ot the silver
birch , touched by Auroras rosy finger ,
gloainod like pillars ot pearl Up
through the fresh odorous woods ho
slowly proceeded to the accompanying
music ot a freshening breeze Up ho
climbs , ever dangerous rocks , around
shuge roots which ourl and contort und
outreach like great black reptiles , ever '
fallen logs and thratfgh intrlcato innzos
of undergrowth
lu the heart ot Colorado's timbered
mountains ! Whut bcuuty and yet what | I
solitude ! Yomlorisn clump of Tltnnlo

and tha mountain bulsn'm shons its

collars Now Ginn is pouotratlngabolt
ol hard and soft wouls mUcd , where
the miiplo , the beech and the scrub oak ,
the streaked mooseivood and delicate
skinned birch abound , with tholr many
varieties and differing hues , with hun
dreds of suamod columns around , n
llrmnnient ot foliage nbovo : sprouts ,
herbs and shrubs ; torus , plants and
anuses ; llcliuned rocks , vlno-httggod
snugs , douse thickets , low bushes nnd
mouldering louvos for a floor , the whole
scene bewildering , stlinulnttiig , absorb
ing the souses Ot course this made
Ginn exceedingly weary , and ho seated
himself on a log to recupdrate
Suddenly ho was startled by the
crackling of the brush off to his right ,
and the next moment a hnlf-grown hour
caino forth , stopped , sniffed the nlr sus
piciously , then gii7cd about him ,
The doctor thought ho had struck
n snap Hero was a chnnco to
distinguish himself by killing a
bear Ho hesitated iitt a moment ,
and then his 15-1)1) ) ) How lo his shoulder
Ho wus in the very act ol pressing the
trigger , when the bushes ngnin parted ,
nnd the old mother boar and Glim
would have sworn she was as big as a
horse , stopped out Into the opening behind -
hind the cub This second arrival
ciusod Ginn to lower his Winchester
Ho was sudden ly soi7od with the
buck fever and couldn't mnko up his
mind whether ho wanted any bonr or
tint
llowevor , as the old woman began to
move off , ho concluded to take u crack
uthor , nnd the next tnoinout ho sent *
nn ounce of lend crushing through her
back ; Down she wont , mid of all the
bellowing nnd sqiiaking and crying ,
that bonr did , Ginn said was the worst
he ever heard The cub went tiim tree ,
nnd : the old bear recovering hotholf ,
got up nnd took tlio trail down the
mountain Shu soon reached Ginn's
trail , und catching the peculiar fra
grance of his"fcot-8tttw , "cnnio to n halt
and began to look savagely about her
Tlio doctor thought his time had
como.and with a gotitilloxlon , he said
his shovtubt prayer The next instant
the old bonr uognn to ndvnnco , and
Ginn rcali'/iug it was do or die , again
pulled up his cannon mid began to
pump lead into her at an alarming
rate
In the meantime Galbraith , Hrlmbln ,
Fuller and Conkling , who had heard
the shots and the bellowing of bruin ,
came rushing down the mountain to sco
what the rumpus wus
Ginn taw them nnd yelled : Look
out , bovs , the woods nro full of . boar ; I
just killed three und there is a doen
more in the bushes , " and then ho fell
exhausted in the leaves
His companions soon rcachod his side ,
and the colonel hastily placing a llask of
pop to his lips , ho revived immediately
Thou.thoy looked around for the boar
\nd found her a big hulk weighing GDO
pounds curled up stone dcud iu a clump
of s irvis-borry bimbos Ginn was frantio
with delight und danced the cau-cau
around the defunct monarch until his
companions thought ho had gene daft
They finally grabbed him , however ,
and held him until rationality returned ,
when ho told thom about the cub , and
they bognn to search for it The poor
llttlo follow was soon discovered , und ,
as lie essayed to escape by diving into
the bushes , Galbraith blew a hole in his
hend big enough to hold a base ball
The game was taken into enmp that
after noon , and for two days tlio llvo
hunters did nothing but sit thoroandgo ,

They romalnod ton daysiin the moun
