bundle IF tickets came up to a vulgar
looking fellow in the crowd and smlingly
asked him for his vote on the side of

a great brawny arm shot out over the
woman's shoulder and into the fellow S
face with the force of trip hammer.
He dropped like stunned calf. 1t was
done neatly, quietly, and so effectively
that the incident almost passed unno-

quest was that his wife should not see his

tempted to create a scene at the church
from which the funeral took place, but
were prevented by the interference of the
police. Mrs. Bishop put in an appear
ance at the cemetery and jumped into the
grave designed for her husband. The
sensation was intensified by the wild ex-
CARNATIONS which Mrs. Bishop made
that the ladies present were Improper
women" "had poisoned her husband"
and wished to get him "out of their
way" Meanwhile the son had been en-
deavoring to enlist the favor of the Gene
terry Superintendent to grant HIM one
days time to obtain the necessary funds
by which the fee for a receiving vault
could be obtained. The scene at the
grave of Mr.. Bishop brought the Superin-
tendent to a reluctant consent to the
agreement and the body was placed in
| the receiving vault, much to the relief of
the spectators. Itwas only then that the
lady jumped out Cf the grave.
