~neared at the door a handsome "chatoin”
‘medium height, perfect figure, and not
* 04 years of age. Her features were
n<mlar with an eve that denoted quick
ereeption: her complexion showed a very
light tan, while her hands were fair, indi
ting that she wore gloves in riding about
er country domain.
As she stood, her figure was as straight as
narrow and was set off to advantage by
f faultless dress of dark blue, trimmed
uth two panels of the same material, oma
nented with
small WHITE BARS.
With a slight movement of the head for
rard Mrs Shackelford advanced as the re
lortcr arose, and after offering an apology
or a few moments’ delay in arranging her
oilet introduced herself
After excusing himself lor the intrusion,
he reporter in a very few words informed
ler of the ohject of his visit.
With a smile bordering upon the satirical,
h she gracefully reclined her figure slightly
orward to occupy an armchair, sho said:
'Oil no, I cannot-do that; I was never in

ilow and harrow on horseback from day
ight to dark to keep the homestead of an
iged and devoted father from being eaten
ip by debt.
The reporter, realizing that he had to deal
rith a woman as extraordinary as she was
etiring and adverse to publicity, saw at a
lance that circumspection would have to
le used in drawing from her the history of
he day on which she made such a narrow
scape” after making a terrific struggle , for
ier life. After an hour's cautious and
idi oit convei-sation a considerable portion
if the history of this lady’s remarkable life
cas obtained, and, as the”sequel will prove,
t shows her to be a woman of wonderful
iluck. endurance and determination.

After t py wedlock a trip to
and the couple vis
fed the city of the Golden Gate. It was
while in this city that misfortune for the
first time touched at her door. Her queenly
fortune was swept away as if in a single
night.
Unlike many women, instead of giving
up to despair she fell back upon the treas
ure her family had endowed her with, her
education, and as correspondent for a num
ber of New York journals she supported
her husband and herself. She npt only kept
the wolf from the dooc, but was atile to
save enough in course of time to return to
Pleasant Hill, Ala., twenty-eight miles
from Selma, the home of her father. On
reaching there she was called upon to face
another emergency. Years and past trou
bles had so silvered the locks of her father
that he hail been unable to run the place as
he had in by-gone days, and a debt of
I'l.sOO, bearing a heavy interest, was in
creasing so rapidly that it was only a
Question of time for the mortgage to swal
low up the old homestead.
A ith a determination and will power sel
dom found in one so young, Mrs. Shackel
ford bid farewell to journalism and became
ter father’s manager. She took charge of
t..e books of the store, straightened them
out, and torcedjall the delinquent plantation
tads to settle up, aud thereafter kept the
woks herself. She then became overseer of

plantation.

M t J child t
nurse. The baby lay at death’s door for
awhile, but finally recovered.
And now comes the most thrilling event
in this lady’s history: On the evening of
Jan. tin. last a gentleman called
at Mrs. Shackelford's house aud spent the
evening. As he was about taking his de
parture he stated he was going to Selma
next morning and asked her if she would
not exchange pistols, os his was a large
SMITH AND WESSON
and would bother him in town. The ex
change was made, and as he was mounting
to ride away Mrs. Shackelford said: “is
the pistol all righti" “It is all O. K.” he
replied.
Next morning, which was Jan. 96, at
daybreak, her favorite mare Katie was
saddled and brought to the door. Mi’s.
Shackelford put the pistol she had received
the night before in her holster, as it was her
custom always to go into the field armed—
made Katie get down on her front knee, a
clever trick she had trained her to do, so
that she would not have to call on any one
to assist her in mounting or dismounting—
mounted and rode into the field to measure
and superintend some ditching that she was
having done.
On several occasions, while Mrs. Shackel
ford was absent, on her return home she dis
covered that, notwithstanding, she had
secured the house on leaving, a thief or
thieves hail effected an entrance and small
sums of money that she had concealed were
stolen.
There were other valuables in the room,
such as jewelry, etc., but nothing was ever
touched but tlie money.
On this particular day while Mrs. Shack
elford
WAS IN THE FIELD,
she discovered tliat she had left her note
book and pencil at the house. [ln telling
this part of the story she remarked: “I al
ways take notes, as 1 keep a regular set of
books for the plantation, and last year when
I took off my trial balance I was only 15c.
out of the way.”]
She mounted her horse and rode back to
her home. As she was about to enter the
place she noticed a window open. This
l oused her suspicion, and she made her way
to her room and concealed herself behind
one of the doors to watch what was going
on. With a cautious step one of the negro
hands named Steve Collens, a man weighing
fully 170 pounds, entered and began search
ing the different pieces of,furniture in the
room.
She steppeo out from her place of con
cealment and, covering him with the re
volver, said: “You are the man who has
been systematically robbing the house, so
throw up your hands and surrender.”
He did not heed the warning and began
to move toward her. Mrs. Shackelford,
knowing the character of the negro, and
feeling that should he ever get her in his
power he would kill her, pulled the trigger
of the pistol, but tho cartridge failed to ex
plode. and tho negro moved another step
forward. It being a self-action pistol she
continued to
PULL THE TRIGGER,
but with the same result.
By this time she had snapped the worth
less gun over seven times, and then realized
that there were no cartridges in it, and the
negro, recognizing the same fact, drew a
razor from his belt and seized his victim.
It was a fight to the death, and with
every advantage on the side of the negro.
In trying to grab the right wrist of the
negro she caught the blade of the razor,
which laid open the palm of her right hand.
The struggle continued, and she received
cuts on both hands and arms, and in stri k
ing a bone of the right arm, a piece of the
blade of the razor remained sticking in the
bone.
In an attempt to cut her throat, the negro
inflicted a wound several inches in length
on her left shoulder, which extended down
ward into the chest.
While the struggle was going on Mrs.
Shackelford discovered a pistol ot her own
on the mantelpiece, but could not get to it,
and stood in fear of the negro also seeing it.
While the fight was going on her little
child entered and the negro seized it and
almost choked it to death. But he did not,
and after inflicting tho wounds on her body
fled through the window, leaving her for
dead.
From the excitement of the battle she did
not realize how painfully she had been
wounded, and seizing the pistol she had been
watching she fired one shot at the fleeing
negro, but without effect. She thou rushed
out, mounted her horse and gave chase;
being close on the negro, her fourth shot
brought him to the earth.
Leaping down by his side, and not know
ing the extent of "his wound and fearing
that he might recover sufficiently to attack
her again, she struck him a blow on the tem
ple with the butt of the pistol and knocked
him senseless. She then watched him until
assistance came to her and him.
When it arrived the negro was conveyed
to jail and Mrs. Shackelford to her room,
where she remained for weeks before her
wounds, which wore twenty-seven in num
ber, healed.
The trial of this negro for the cutting of
Mrs. Shackelford is fixed for this week, and
as the negro wrote two letters to her notify
ing her that if she did not withdraw the
charge he would have her murdered, her
friends advised her, under the circumstances,
to make a statement before a J ustiee of the
Peace and then leave the county until the
trial was over, which she did and came to
New Orleans.
DRAW POKER AT CHAUTAUQUA.
The Game Introduced by Two Lively
Sckoolma’ams from Ohio.
From the Aeta York Sun,
Jamestown, April 13. — Mixed up with
the furniture carried out during the re
cent Are at Chautauqua was a faro layout,
seven packs of cards, and three dice boxes.
These iniquitous auxiliuriesof a worldly life
found their way within the sacred precincts
of Chautauqua in tho trunks of two very
interesting women who arrived lust season
with a party of Ohio schoolma’ams who
were attending the teachers’ retreat. They
engaged the second floor of a modest cottage
on Simpson avenue, attended the teachers’
meetings, sipped waters from the sacred
springs, chewed gum along the sandy shores
of Galilee, and came to be looked upon as
bright lights in the Chautauqua idea. Tho
teachers departed, but the Simpson avenue
cottage held its tenants. Soon it became
noticed that this was a favorite resort for
gentlemen, but as the girls continued to
sing the hymns ut morning services and
clawed around among the mummies and
antique vases of the museum for poetic iu
spi ration, and as the young men who visited
there had the regulat ion degree of solemnity
and white neckties, the matter was allowed
to pass.
Time passed, and George White came to
Chautauqua: He registered from Cincin
nati. George was handsome, had money
and a fondness for girls. He met the fair
sciioohna’ams, and was entertained by them
at their rooms. Soon afterward the super
iutendent of the grounds learned from
George that he was $5OO short on a quiet
little game of draw, and that evening as
tile last Ixuit drew up at the wharf you
might have seen two frisky schoolma'ams
hustled on board by the su|x*rintendont, fol
lowed a moment later by two large trunks,
and that was the last heard of them until
the fire developed the goods and the story
leaked out.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20, 1887.
A MILE IN FIFTY SECONDS.
Engineer Gloss Gives an Iron Horse a
Looueßein on the Now Haven Road.
Front (Ac New- Fork Evening .Sri..
Engineer Close, of the New Haven road
stood in his cab on Wednesday waiting the
word for starting. He takes the fast limited
out at 4:80 p. in. for Boston. He leaned out
of the cab window long enough to say that
the report of the fast run made between
Meriden and Hartford on Monday night
was true. The engine was No. 148, anew
and very powerful locomotive. There is a
down grade aud a straight track for some
ten mUes just north of Meriden. When this
section was reacted on Monday night the
engineer let 133 do her best. The night was
clear, the track in good shape, the frost out
of the ground.
In a few moments passengers realized that
the speed was something extraordinary. In
tlie smoking car the whist players put their
cards aside and glanced out' of the win
dows, and the moonlight was just bright
enough to reveal the trees, but simply as a
mass of timber that was being whirled
by the cars as though in a most terrible
tornado.
In five minutes the momentum was some
what checked, and there was some relic;
among the passengers. They knew th.
had been traveling pretty rapidly, but th y
did not know how fast. In the nvemiuutes
lacking a few seconds the engine had made
seven miles, or a rate of as near eighty miles
an hour as there is any fun in getting. This
rate has been equaled' on the Pennsylvania
and New York Central, and possibly ex
celled a little, but it is probably the fastest
short distance run made in New England.
It is a rate which, if maintained, would
bring New York aud Boston within three
hours time.
