The champion and only tramping fire eater
was in town last Monday night. He chews red
hot GOALS licks the rednesS off red hot poker
with his tongue and dances on red hot iron with
his bare feet He claims to hail from Chicago,
and that fact develops all the secrecy of his
tricks; anybody who can stand Chicago whisky
six months can do the same, and red hot Goals are
mild and tempting in comparison.

A WOMAN WHO sHooTs.-It is bad policy for
prowers or night hawks to 90 fooling about the
residence of William shorb on Tuscarawas street,
west of Cherry. Mr.. Shore Is proprietor of the
Ogden House billiard room and was not at home
last Saturday evening when some rascal went
prowling about his house. Mrs shorb was there,
however, and hearing some one suspiciously
moving about in the back yard near the house,
she forgot to run to the front door, which faces on
the busy part of busy street, and scream for
help but IN the excitement Of the situation, she
quietly got hold Of q revolver and calmly await
ed tnCiner demonstration; and in moment,
when the villain had his hands upon the sash
outside about to raise the window, Mrs shorb,
from the darkness within, fred one shot from the
revolver, and with an ejaculation the rascal fed,
1t was shown plainly that the bullet hit the fel'
low, as considerable amount Of blood was
found beneath the window, and blood could
readily be tracked the entire length of the lot
next morning. When the fellow reached Seventh
street, at the rear end of the lot, he evidently
took time to wrap the wound up as no further
blood marks could be found If more women
possessed such nerve and presence of mind in
these times of tramps and burglars depredations
ofthis class would soon grow less frequent.
