WINS AT TUB FOURTH TRIAL. Westerner KiiKiinod ( u n Uimrlct of ( ilr'n In One liny. If at first you don't succeed , try , try again , So thought Oscar Krause of Col fax , a small village in North Dakota , who came to Wahpeton ono Saturday morning' In search of a wlfo and after becoming engaged to four girls finally succeeded In gettlns mar ried. Jir. Krause , cmlgrAtcd from Germany eight or ton years ago and purchased a piece of land near Colfax. By hard work and economy ho had succeeded in pdyjug for his land and accumulated some stock. Ho had always lived alone on his farm , kept bachelor hall nnd gt3t along the best lie could. Some time ago ho became dis satisfied with bachelor life and began to hunt about for a wife to assist him In his household duties and .make homo what It should hi ; . He seemed to have been un successful In his suits and finally called in a friend to assist him. Tito friend recom mended him to a young lady of his ac quaintance , commonly known as "Battle Ax , " Ho ramo to Wahpoton In anarch of the girl'and finally learned that Hho was an Inmate of a resort. This did not accord with his Ideas of the proprieties of lift ) nnd ho would not have her. Ho called ou another friend , who Intro duced him to a girl In Dlvltt-'s. restaurant. Ho told her that ho wanted a wife and slio agreed to marry him , but aho needed'n'omo ' money to buy the wedding trouscau , Ho advanced tlio money and the wedding waste to take place Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. : He got up bright and early to prepare for the event , but at the appointed tlmo was disappointed to learn that she hnd left on the midnight train for Minneapolis. Noth ing daunted , ho again applied to his friends and they Introduced him to a young widow who hod Just como over from Denmark ; , Ho proposed to her and was acepted and the arrangements for the wedding were made , but ot tills Juncture an agent'for a local steamship company appeared and de ! manded that ho pay $00 $ , the amount'of her passage over. Krauac thought this wan too much to pay for o widow nnd the wed ding was declared off , lie again applied ( o his friends and Ililfl time they sent him to MUs Victoria Gash- man , a girl who was worklns on a farm a few miles out of town. Ho drove 'out nnd proposed to the girl and vts accepted , This tlmo ne did not propose to bo fooled and brought , her to town and WJIH married by the county Judge -without any Interfer ence , After the ceremony Iio and his bride left for his homo and , as nothing has slnco been heard of them , It Is uuppcsed that tlft'y arc living happily on hlu farm. Krauee'a record WHS unique. Ho was en gaged to four different glrlH whom lie bad never heard of before and got a batter choice every time and returned home with a JjrIOo the 'next Monday aftcrnooji. Ills friends say that If ho hail'boon given a week to select a bride bo would have nu- cured u countess. Detroit Journal ; The Four-Legged Young Person had told three- dozen photograph * at tlio afternoon performance , and adverse comment was naturally rife In the curio hall , "And yet , " observed the Dog Faced Bpy , "sho Is more niodcit than most women ! " "Modest ! " cried the OlrenMlnn Prlnccssi nffcctlnR to AhiuMer. "Huh ! " "Modest ! " the DOR Faced Hey Insisted. "She Is probably the only womnn In town who ( loen't raleo licr sklrti over two feel when she crosses muddy street !

IIMV tinFnrinor < ! < tl tlir Drop on Ilin I. niter. Generally when the soldier and the Kid nan of the west conic together the soldier gets the worst of It. But tlicro nro excop- Ions. There nro nlso some very bad Norninn was one ot them. This la n story rclnted by the Washington Star of a savage knife fight thnt took plnco n 18SI nt II Waco , Wash , , between n I'or- gambler named Ltiruzzu nnd an artillery soldier named Normnti , who was stationed nt Fort Canby. There Is no moro dcBolnto military po.it on rnrfh thnn Fort Cnnby , Wash. 'U Is situated on Ujkcr'a bny , a eort ot Inlet nt tlio mouth ot the LTolumhln river , nnd about ten miles across Tram Astcrln , the snlmon-llshlng town of Oregon nnd nil evil enough town , too. Fort Cnnby Is nt the base of 'Capo ' Disappointment nnd n couple of batteries of heavy ntllllery Imvo been stationed there for many years , Hvcr F-lnco the establishment of the post It Wnco , thrco miles nwny through n dense , bear-Infested forest , has bcqn Iho uny-dny resort of the soldiers , U Is nn evil , plno- Incloscd llttlo town of shacks , where 'brace ' Kami's of nil sorts run wide open.-w'hero the meet villainous liquor known to man Is pur veyed out -of barrels with tin dippers nnd where crime' used to be n pastime. This soldier Norman wns bad from a inll- Itnry point of view and ho wns n bnd man In the bargain. All tlio men he soldiered with know thnt he was a bnd man and they let him alono. Ho occasionally got Into their payday poker gnruo nnd he nlwnys won. Their giimca were not big enough for him , however , nnd he spent all bis lib erty over nt 11 Wnco , bucking the brace faro and Btilil poker games nnd beating them. Beating brnco games wns Normnn's cpeclnlly. In truth , it wns n marvel among all linmls that so accomplished a gncnblcr and aUort-card plnycr should Imvo entered the nrmy , and the only natural In ference was thnt he hnd put on the uniform ( o avoid capture nt the hands of the civil authorities. ' Normnn's unvarying success nl II Waco brnco tables Ilnnlly enraged the proprietors of the layouts to such nn extent thnt all except ono of them closed up on him. The man who did not close up on 'him wns Luis , Luniz/.ii , as bnd n Portuguese as over car ried a knife In his boot. Luruzzu had bean bit BO hard by Norninn that ho kept his tables open to the fioldior In the hope of getting back some of the money. His hope was vain , for Norinan went right on win ning. Finally , in desperation , Luruzzu sug gested one Sunday afternoon to Normnn that they piny n two-handed gntno of draw , Luruzzu wno an expert crooked draw plnycr nnd ho thought to retrieve his losses in this way. "You're on. " sn'ld Norman. In the presence of a couple of fioldlers. and a couple of hangara-on of II Wnco , Normnn nnd Luruzzu sat down to the game in _ the one-room ehnck where the Portu guese lived. Luruzzu won at first nnd his. beady eyes ( jlcanicd with the nntlclpatlon ot getting back not only nil his own bracc- table loEses , but of acquiring a lot of the gold that Normnn had taken from the tables of the other layouts. When ho be gun to lose , as ho did , ho grew so nervous that ho began lo drink bad liquor , in order to get a hold on himself. Norman did not ( oucfL.a drop. Norman was not a.drlnklnB man , nnyhqw. , Luruzzu began to Icse his own jackpots , sometimes on his opponent's bluffs and | oiiictimes on his opponent's genuine hands however the Jinnds wcro .put together- anil , then Luruzzu drank mbro , In n fashion , yery unchnrncteristlc ot a grimbler and the proprietor of brace-tables. Normnn con tinued rigidly abstemious , according to hla habit. Along toward 7 o'clock in the evening , after five hours' play , LUruzzu was out abo'ut $1,000 and ho was growing very ugly and Insulting. N6rman took the Portu guese's Insults calmly , and went on ac quiring Luruzzu's money. At 8 o'clock , when Luruzzu hnd only $500 left , he stayed in on n deal of the soldier's. The onto hnd grown to $25 , so that Luruzzu bn'd $475 still In fcnnd to bet. Ho etood pat on a queen high flush of diamonds. The soldier drew ono card to lila two pnlrs , kings ad. tens , nnd caught another ten. Luruzzu cast his $47ii into the renter ot the table with a melodramatic flourish of drunkenness. "You blue mnn , you eun man , you dealer of cnrds queer , you must now be bent , " ho shouted , wildly. "I call for a showdown , having no moro moiicy by inc. " Ho Inld down his queen high flush of din- mends with n bnng. Normnn put down , ono by one , his ten full.'lcttlng both of the hands rest on the money In the center of the nnd looking quietly , but very deter minedly like a mnn expecting trouble. . straight Into the wild oycs of the man across the table. Luruzzu'o face bocnmo blood red , and ho wna fumbling underneath , the table. Suddenly , quick as thought , there was a gleam of a knlfo in the air , nnd Luruzzu'a v .knife cnme down , aimed for Norman's right hand , But Norman's hand didn't happen to bo there. Neither did his loft. Normnn Was standing nt full length with ii bowie knlfo In" his right hand nnd ho gripped It like a man who knew how to UHO it. * ' The two men stood looking at each other .for . a second , and the look meant thnt the light wno to bo Immt'dlntcly on. One of the four onlookers , a soldier , quickly hauled1 the table to a corner of Iho rcom , and Nor mnn nnd Luruzzu , leaping nt onch other In I tlio center of the shack , began the bowlo ' , which both appeared to understand 1 thoroughly. Luruzzu waa o trifle the hot- I tcir of the two , butho wns handicapped by ' his condition , nnd reeled at critical points. 'Tho two men , both leaning far forward. 'with extended and upraised knives , circled nrouifd each other with the caution of cats , lunging nnd dodging , but never getting j near enough for the thrust Xor several mln- utcs , both of them panting heavily. Once I Luruzzu'B knlfo grazed the fUigero of the | soldlcr'a knlfo hand , but thnt wns as near - as Tie over got to the artilleryman. The four men looking on from various corners of the Hhack look no part , the two Jmrig- ors-on being Indifferent as to the outcome , and the soldiers seeing that their man prob ably had .the winning end of It , "Oh , no , you don't , " said Norman , quietly , after a peculiarly vIclouH thrust on Luruzzu's part , and , taking advantage of a stagger Ills mnn made , ho ran In sud denly und planted his knife squarely in the heart of the gambler , who wns dead within a minute. The bad noldler throw hx ) knlfo ugnlnst the wall of the shack without a word to any of the other men , gathered up the- gold und notes on the table , strode Into the black darkness of II Waco's miry utrtetH down to the water's edge , ran up the single Hall of a fisherman's felucca moored there and shoved off Into the waters of linker's bay. Ho was never afterward traced , although the presumption of the army officers and civil authorities who made the Investigation waa that ho sailed across to Atoria and stowed A way on the steam ship Columbia that sailed from Astorln for San Francisco at 4 o'clock the next morn- ing.I . I | ut many nn American frontlerlng ol- d'or ' ihaa succumbed to the American baa man to olfeet this ono of few Instances Where the soldier held the edge.
