Anecdote.

John w. Crockett and James Gibson
were able lawyers, and in full practice,
in the early days Of Jackson's Purchase.
They resided at Fulton, in Hickman
Co., Ky. On one occasion they were
employed oppositesofan ejectment case,
before magistrate. The court was held
in schoolhouse. Crockett was reading
the law to the court, and when he got
through, Gibson asked him for his book,
saying that the statute just read was
new to him. Crockett refused to give
it to him on the ground that it was his
own private property and if Mr.. Glib
son wanted the benefit of law books,
there were some for sale. The court
ruled that the book was private prop
erty, and that Gibson had no right to
see it except with Crockett's consent.
Gibson was puzzled, but being man of
resources, he fell upon plan which
completely upset Crockett's calcula-
tlons. He stepped back and found
under desk an old copy of Noah Web
ster's spelling book, and in addressing
the court, he read from the speller =
be 1t enacted by the General Assembly
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
that all laws heretofore passed (here
fitting Crockett's law,) be and they are
hereby repealed" Crockett sprang to
his feet with, Let me see that book"
"No you DON'T" says Gibson; "this
book, sir, is private property, and lam
not in the habit of packing law books
around for the benefit of Others" 1t is
needless to say Crockett lost his case,
Gibson having the cut at him.

Hard to Kill.


KNIFE PLUNGED TO THE HILT
THROUGH A MANS sTEMPLE-IT TAKES
THE FULL STRENGTH OF FIVE MEN TO
EXTRACT THE LAUGHS AND JOKES
UNDER THE OPERATION.
A row and remarkable case of stab
bing took place on Christmas, at
o'clock in the evening, on Broadway,
near Eighth street, in front of Bloch's
second hand store. Jerry Horgan was
found lying there, with knife buried
to the hilt in his left temple. He was
unable to speak, and was thought to be
dying. Restoratives revived him, and
he was taken to tn Cincinnati Hospit-
al. Here he was unusually facetious in
his talk.
Doctor" he said, 81 guess Pm a
dead man."
"You're worth two dead men," re-
piled the doctor.
"Well," said he, al amt fit to die.
Pm too big sinner"
While the surgeons were preparing
to extract the knife he kept opening
and shutting the part which stuck out
Of his head. 81 just want to see how it
feels. 1t don't hurt bit, but it seems
like had two heads. Well, an Irish
man is hard to kill. We're tough set,
Life sticks to us mighty close"
When the surgeons got ready for
work, and found it impossible to extract
the blade by hand, they laid the man
on couch upon the floor, and with the
left side of his head uppermost. Three
men with might and main held his
head down. The engineer brought his
pipe tongs in to grasp the hilt of the
knife. This gave sort of augur han.
die for the surgeon and engineer to pull
by. All things ready, the surgeon and
engineer took hold each with both
hands, and tugging steadily with all
their power, against three pairs of hands
holding the head down, the knife came
out with a jerk, thanks TO rivet of
good steel. Horgan bore it without
fiinching, exclaiming when the feat was
accomplished, "Now my two heads
have come together, and it feels good"
The weapon was common two blad-
ed pocket-knife, the blade used we'll
worn. 1t penetrated two and half
inches. The optic nerve is not injured.
1t is thought that Horgan is in no dam
ger; that, on the contrary, he will re.
cover without difficulty.
How the affair took place, why, and
who drove that knife through Horgai's
skull, is a secret locked in his chest,
and he refuses to surrender the keys.
This much he reveals He was drink
ing and carousing all Christmas with a
party. In the evening the party were
in forensic mood. Wrath mingled in
the discussion. The logic of cold steel
and mighty muscle cut short the debate,
closed it, and broke up the assembly.
Jerry's boarding place is with Mrs.
Corcoran, on Elm, between Eighth and
Ninth streets.
Officers McFarlane, Wharton and
