Stidger was a Whig from Obio and Rust was a Southern gentleman with no very elevated opinions of Yankee courrage, For several weeks they conducted -a paper fightin which they applied to each other about all the epithets printable; but the admirers of the Judge claimed that he was the victor in vituperative verbiage, inasmuch as he said in, a minute more cutting things concerning his opponent than the others les= rapidly revoling brain could turn oft in a week, The Judge had that dangerous faculty-of seeing at a glance the weak spots and s\iking right there in such a way: that tse. wound rankled and festered with all the lingering venom of that kind of ridicule in which even the friends of the victim /can hardly refrain from taking a sort of mental] pleasure. In such a case and time and clime,’ of course, the conquering journalist would be invited to carry the quarrel into the field of honor, Yet it appears, and rather to the Southern Colonel's credit, that. at first’ he was disinclined to challenge the Judge, fee}ing that, as he had been the’ first to make the attack by pen, he had little to complain when he was worsted, But, as.usual politics was mixed up in the affair, and the party managers fancied there was a chance not merely to drive away Stidger but to wipe out the Whig paper, Stidger owned his paper and office outtit, lut he was in debt to Mr, Fall, who had enFall, quietly asked to make over the notes to men who, would press Stidger and’ force into financial distress by which it was hoped the Herald could be gotten into other hands and be made a Democratic organ, or else laid on the shelf. This piece of strategy failed. So the friends of Colonel Rust waited upon him, and told him that duty to his party, ought to prompt a challenge. likely they reasoned with him and themselves that Stidger, having come from Ohio, “where dulling was accounted a high crime and misdemeanor, would refuse, and then dGorsed notes for him, therefore . was Very social disgrace or ostracism would force him to sell out and quit the place. They reckoned without their host, In fact, Stidger was brave to the edge of folly, the brink of madiiess. He~accepted the challenge asif it werea bid to a wedding breakfast, and being entitled, according to the codes to choose the weapons and dectated the distance, he called for Buckeye rifles, and remarked that at sixty paces he could knock the tail off a squirrel in a tree, Judge Gordon N, Mott, Stidger’s chief second, and Colonel Charles Fairfax, a Vir-' givian, representiug Colonel Rust, searched far and wide for the weapons, butfaile d to find them, The only long-range guns ‘they find were a pair of Mississippi yagers, co suld and these, when tried by the seconds, proved to . ‘ be of unequal carriage ‘and conduct. Naugnt remained, then, but to cast lots. for “choice, and in-this procedure the better weapon wasd ‘won by the second of Colonel Rust, ‘It was now late on Friday, the very day of the challenge, and sunrise on Sunday was the hour appointed, the place being across the line of Yuba county where no officers of the law could interfere. Saturday night, however, word was brought to the Stidger party that Colonel Rust had suddenly been attacked by sickness and eraved the courtesy of postponement for a week, “A weak excuse and strategy,” said one Stidger’s friends who was somewhat of a wag, ‘just simply wants time to practice, Judge, He knows you are a crack shot.” Stidger smiled with the large carelessness of his temperament and said: ‘Oh! well let him have it; I won't kick.” “But your confounded weapon will’ thought Judge Mott though he said nothing beyond a courteous expression of : Mis principal's acquiescence in the postponement, Of course this turn of affairs gave time for the news .to4eak out, and by the following Sunday .the town of Marysville knew what was going to happen and the very place chosen.
