BuGGING. Intense pleasure and


sing an individual. There are two
methods OF working the bug. Que is
the old method Of tying an imitation bug
to black string. coming behind the
victim aad letting it drop down in front
OF his face, the effect generally produced
being that the victim will make frantic
endeavors to knock the hideous bug off,
80 that it will not get on him. But the
the latest Improved style of bugging is
to stand with the victim on your right
hand side, suddenly running your right
arm with quick jerk under his chin,
throwing back his head, giving the
victim an idea of his neck being dislo-
Gated, and then quickly brushing off the
lapel on tbs right hand side of his coat,
as il An insect was being brushed away,
and stamp with the foot as if the bug
was being mashed completes the illusion.
Having seen this joke played very sue.
cessfu!ly lately we can recommend it az
an infallible recipe for producing u good
laugh to every one but the unsuspectiug
party on whom it is played.

CHINAMAN SHOT. THE Chinese cook
employed at Gibfried & Brisacher's res
taurant was shot 10 the lett arm on
Wednesday morning about l o'clock by
some unknown white mau The China
man says that he was awakened from
his sleep by a continued KNOCKING at
his door, and on going to il found there
white man who insisted on coming
into the house, and on the Chiuaman
pushing him out he drew pistol, firing
three or four shots at the Chinaman, one
OF the balls penetrating the left arm,
causing a painful but not serious wound.

allowed to live and eat his rice.

rushing business but are doing a safe,
reliable and more profitable business
than heretofore.
WHAr's TO BE oNE-Sheriff Mckee
received on Sunday last telegram to
the effect that Dean, Sloan, Newman
and McManus, the reservation murder

to know when he was coming for them.
He answered by telegraph to the effect
that the County Commissioners had
made no provisions for him to 60 for
them, but that il they were delivered on
the county borders they would be re-
ceived and taken charge of by the Off
GERS. And that's the way the matter
stands.
