the iAttsr's face was swollen and hlsak from,
the effects OF internal aud external heat. He
shook the sleeper aud asked what he was doing
there, when Gaylord replied, without looking
up, ATS none OF yonr id business" At
that, Wyman took him by the collar and threw
him out doors. Gaylord drew derringer and
made some threatening remark. when Yymau
stepped back short distance. The drunken
man then commenced. pistol in hand. to tear
his late lodging house to pieces. ms also to tear
the boards of n small powder magazine hard

the magazine by conclusion or firing into il,
ran up to his store for an az handle with which
to quiet the armed lnnaiic. While returning
on the sidewalk from the store, Gaylord hailed
him from the opposite side of the street
