Tuesday afternoon certain business. mat
tiers came up for about the ninety-niuth
time for discussion between Capt. J. E.

marks, after time, dritted somewhat out
Of the line Of the complimentary, and there
were gentle insinuatiens that the one
would lie and tho other would steal; or
words to that effect Capt. West finally
ordered Laughton to "git up and git''
out of the stere, but that individual de-
olined to bulge q peg. The Capt, splitting
on his hands, thereupon sailed in to make
forcible ejectment, but the job proved
to be rather tough one. he then laid
hold on heavy chair and struck at Laug-
ton, but tho latter caught the blow on his
arm. to the everlasting smashing up Of the
piece of furniture in question. Taking a
position on the sidewalk, L. invited his
mercantile friend to just step out there and
he would make sausage machine of him
