An Embarrassing Situation.

About noon yesterday, says the Detroit
free Press freight clerk at the Cen>
tral depot thought he would like to have
a good wash aud a nee swim and he pro-
coeded down the yards to slip looked all
around to see if policeman was in sight,
and then shed his linen and made a dive
lie left bis clothes on some boards, ,whele he
had fair field to look out that the bows
didn't sly in on them. and he came out of
the water happy and refreshed. He look
ed for his pants, and they had disappear
ed. He looked down the yards, and he
saw big dog playing with them. The
canine would toss the pants aloft and
catch them as they come down, and then
he would pretend that they were game"
and the sound of bis clashing teeth could
beplainly heard. The clerk started for the
dog but just then several women, looks
ing for an excursion boat, came in sight,
and he had to dodge around lumber
pile. When the women had passed he
began whistling at the cog, but he might
as we'll have wbistled at barn. Then
he tried coaxing, and when that had no
effort he hurled a club. The dog picke ed
up the pants and disappeared around q
corner OF the wheat elevator, where he was
sac. The clerk put on his shirt and vest
and started out, but he heard passenger
tram coming in, and had to get back
fretty soon he noticed small bow down
by the elevator, and he called to him
some more excursion women happened
along and, hearing cries, thoy approached
the lumber. The c'erk put his head on,
and warned them that he was insane. and
they halted. The boy came up, two
workmen approached and finally a crowd
OF forty stood gazing at The lumber pile
not one of whom dared approach for q
long time. Then two of the men armed
themselves with clubs and flanked around
then threw stones over the pile to scare
the man out, and before any one knew
whe 1T was and what had occurred, ,'the
crowd had grown to hundred. The
clerk finally made them understand whaI
was the matter, and when his torn and
battered pantaloons were brought up he
slipped into them and skulkcd along dowr
BY a freight train, swearing at ever,

A dwelling place in some elevated
region of this Territory, where the
mountain breeze could be inhaled in its
freshness and purity, in many cases,
would do more, to restoring to health
the debilitated system of the invalid,
than the combined wisdom of physi-

rious diseases are almost wholly un-

Americans and Mexicans and its
