Or THE RAgPAGE.-One of our
lawmakers got on a spree night be-
fore last, or early yesterday morn
ing, and in the course of his pere-
CARNATIONS received some pretty
rough treatment. Becoming offended
at something which transplred in a

and threatened dire vengeance.
While looking around for some n
to shoot at or strike, a big Dutch
man closed in on him from behind,
and, as he dropped his pistol, he was
unceremonionsly tossed out at the
door. He then fell into the hands
of the Sheriff, who took the legisla-

watchman told him he could not go
until the Sheriff returned. At this
the honorable gentleman remarked:

you out" and at it they went. The
Waterman proved the better man, or
was in better fighting condition, and
in less time than il takes to say so.

stove, with several joints of hot pipe
piled on top of him. The prisoner
was finally released, with a few burns
and bruises, and without a coat
which had been literally torn off OF
him during his several and severe
encounters.
