A FAULT. = Charley 0lney tells q
story at the expense OF Joe Ramsdsll.
whose namo appeared in Wednesdays
Nrws. as one Of the prominent stock
holders Of the cooperative store that is
shortly to DO started at Gold Hill. II is
but fair TO state. in order to prevent any
prejudice in the public mind. that the
gentleman referred to Is not now subject
To any such boyish weakness. Olney
says: ~ good many years ago. when
Joe and l were boys. his folks kept q
grocery store in tho town OF Cold Water.
Michigan. Ono day they all had
occasion to SO away and leave
him to tend the store alone for u couple
| Of hours. On returning. Joe was found
seated on the counter. looking terribly
detected and sobbins bitterly. His eyes
were swelled. and great black rings
were around them. caused by rubbing
them with his dirty knuekles. His
people thought that some one had been
abusing him, and anliously inquired the
cause Of his grief. Getting oil tho
counter he went with ~listless steps to a
shelf aud took down a bottle labeled
''swset OIL" The bottle was full, but
evidently contained two distinct sub
stances. Holding il ~ruefully up, no OK
claimed. rs tho gasped and choked for
breath, 81 can mix sand with sugar. and
water with whisky and molasses. but
couldn't find anything to mix with the
oil. boo-hoo!"

Lowell Of those whose acts he i'm
itatcs' II il stated by those who
ought to know. that this is not
tho only row in which one Of the gontle-
man referred to has lately been engaged.
In view Of this fact NO appeal TO tho
sentleman's good sense and respect for
himself to let the unseeialy fight Of last
evening he the last in which he engages.
! Should this advice not be followed he
can expect no other treatment at the
hands Of any fair newspaper than those
to whose level no degrades himself, and
may confidently calculate on seeing his
name published the next tino such a
thing occurs.

the vesey House Saloon, and take n
look nj ono which Is on exhibition there.

PENDANTS counsel gave notice OF appeal.
with the intention Of having the case
tried in the District Court. Bail was
liked ut 81, 900. The friends OF Cum
mings were to-day trying to raise the
amount 80 that he could be released

ING remanded. Whether they were sue
cessful or not We did not learn. IL Is I
bs hoped that being found guilty he

who could be guilty Of such an unmanly
act is entitled to no sympathy.
