named Dill~ber in he corridor of he
hotel, after monen s alteration,

The singular thing about it IS, that
the parties had no quarrel cl-indeei
they scarcely knew e,ch other. Dill

Dillher refused to do, whe,eupon
Dillon drew his Derringer and sho'

habit OF quarreling with the b, 'e
on the most absurd pre'exts, which
created such fear of him that tn
managers were compelled t. get rid
of him. He showed muraernus pro-
pens ties then, but never a word was
said about it. and he went to the

corridor in front of his room he would
