Extraordinary Entrance Into a Council
Chamber of a Very Remarkable Man
His Queer Reception and its Result
A Dead Shot.
M om the Neow York Sun.
AusTIN, Texas, February 12.-Of
all the famous duels recalled by
tho Sun, perhaps' none was more
remarkable than that fought near
this city by Deaf Smith and Colonel
Morton.
About two years after the Texas
revolution, a difficulty occurred be
tween the new government and a
portion of the people, which
threatened serious consequences.
Briefly, the constitution made
Austin the permanent capital, but
empowered f.mo President' to order
the temporary removal of the
archives in case of dainger from a
foreign enemy or sudden insurroc
tion. Thinking that the exception.
al emergency had arrived, as the
Comanches wore committing ravages
within sight of the capital, Presi
dent Houston, who then resided at
Washington, on the Brazos, dis,
patched an order commanding his
subordinates to send the Stato
records to that town.
It is imipossible to describe the
excitement which the promulga
tion of this order raised in Austin.
The keepers of hotels, boarding
houses, groceries and faro banks
were aghast. The measure would
be a death-blow to their business.
A mass-meeting was. called, and
the farmers of the surrounding
country, who were all more or lees
interested in the question, came in.
After many fiery speeches, it was
unanimously resolved to prevent
the removal of the archives. Four
hundred armed men volunteered to
guard the State House. The coin
mander of this force was Colonel
Morton, who had distinguished
himself in the war for independ
ence, and more recently in two
desporate duels, in both of which
he had cut his antagonists nearly to
pieces with the bowie-knife. In,
deed, from his reputation for vin
dictiveless ais well as courage, it
was thought that President Hous
ton would renounce his purpose as
soon as he should leirn who was the
loader of the opposition. Morton
swore that if tue President suc
ceeded in removing the records, he
would himself hunt him down like
a wolf. lie even wrote the hero
of San Jacinto to that eTect. The
latter replied in a note of laconic
brevity:
"If the people of Austin do not
send the archives, I shall certainly
come and take them; and if Colonel
Morton can kill me he is welcome
to my ear-cap."
On the reception of this answer
the guard was doubled around the
State House, chosen sentinels were
stationed along the road leading to
the capital, armed men patrolled
the streets, and a select committee
went into permanent session in the
city hall.
One day this committee were sur,
prised by the sudden appearance of
a stranger, whose mode of entering
the room was as extraordinary as
[-is looks and dress. He did not
ki.ook at the closed door, but climb
ing a small bushy-topped live oak,
which grew beside the wall, he
leaped through a lofty window. He
was clothed in buck-.kin, carried a
long and heavy rifle in his hand,
wore at the bottom of his loft
suspender a large bowie-knife, and
had in his leathern belt a couple of*
pistols haif the length of his gun.1
Hie was tall, straight as an arrow,
active as a panther in his mnotions.
lHe had a dark complexion, luxuri
ant, jetty hair, and piercing black
eyes.
"Who are you wvho thus presumeo
to intrude among gentlemen wih
out invitation 7" demanded odlonel
M~orton, in his most ferocious man
ner.
'The stranger retgrned his stare
with compound interest, and laid
bis long, bon~y finger on his lip.
"Who are you? speak 1. or I'll
cut Mn aniswer out of your heart V"
1o1d ii finfrobh Is lip, iad
you not see that he is crazy?"
At this moment Judge Webb, a
man of shrewd and courteous man
ners, stepped forward and address
ed the intruder courteously:
"My good friend, I presume you
have made a mistake in the house.
This is a private meeting where
none but members are admitted."
The stranger did not appear to
comprehend the words, but lie' did
the courtesy. Waltzing to a table
in the centre of the hall he seized
a pen and traced one line, "I am
deaf."
Judge Webb took the paper and
wrote a question: "Dear sir :--Will
you be so obliging as to inform is"
what is your business with this
meeting? '
The stranger at once handed him
a letter, inscribed "To the Citizens
of Austin." He broke the seal and
read it aloud. It was from Hous
ton:
"FE,LOW CITIZENs :-Though in
error, and deceived by the arts of
traitors, I will give you three days
more to decide whether you will
surrender the public archives. At
the end of that time you will please
let me know your decision.
"SAM HousToN."
After the reading the deaf man
waited for a few seconds, as if for a
reply, and then turned and was,
about to leave the hall when Col.
Morton sternly beckoned him back
to the table. The stranger obeyed,
and Morton wrote:
"You were brave enough to insult
me by your threatening looks ten
minutes ago ; are you brave enough
now to give me satisfaction ?"
The stranger penned his reply
"I am at your service 1"
Morton wrote again : "Who will
be your second ?"
The stranger rejoined : "I am
too generous to seek.an advantage,
and too brave to fear any on the
part of others; therefore I never
need the aid of a second."
Morton wrote : "Name your
terms."
The stranger wrote without a
moment's hesitation : "Time, sub
set this evening ; place, the lef -
bank of the Colorado, opposite Aus
tin ; weapons, rifles, and distane
100 yards. Do not fail to be in
time."
He then walked across the floor
and disappeared through the win
dow as suddenly as he had entered
"What," exclaimed Judge Webb,
"is it possible you' intend to fight
that man, Colonel ? He is a mute,
if not a maniac. Such a meeting, I
fear, will sadly tarnish your laurels."
"You are mistaken," said Morton,
with a smile ; "that mute is a hero
who stands in the records of a
dozen battles, and at least half as
many bloody duels. Besides, he is a
favorite emissary and bosom friend
of Houston. If I have the. good
fortune to kill him, I think it will
tempt the President to retract his
vow aginat venturing any more upon
the field of honor."
"You know the man then? Who
is lie ?" asked twenty voices together.
"Deaf Smith."
"No, that cannot be. Deaf Snmith
was killed at San Jacinto," said
Judge Webb.
"There, again, your Honor is misa'
taken," said Morton. "The story
of Smith's death was a mere fiction,
gotten up by Houston to save the
life of his favorite from the sworn
vengeance of certain Tetans, on.
whose conduct he had acted' as a
spy. I found that out twelve
months ago."
"Then, you are a madman yours.
self 1" exclaimed Webb. "Deaf
Smith was never known to miss his
mark."
"The thing is settled," aid~ Mdor
ton ; "I have agr'eed to meet hht ~
There can be no disgrace in falling
before such a shot, and if I kill him
it will be the greatest feat of my
life."
Toward evening a vast cro,w da
sembled to witness the meeting, an'
so great was the popular reekiess -
ness as to affairs of' this sort tliat , 1.
bets were offered and taken. on eol '
