himself to meet nocturnal visitor. After waiting
some time, he proceeded to his parlor, threw open
his front window, and discovered a large ruffar

that as lodging place. OF course, the fellow was
ordered off but instead Of going, at once, be-
until FIVE shooter was planted against his head
and threat made to blow the top OF it off, if he
persisted In remaining where his company was moi
agreeable. After leaving this place, near the City
Springs, the loafer attempted to enter the house
of another gentleman, when he was arrested by
the Watchmen and Gagged.
