ALL ABOUT HARwooD's OvERCoAr.
"A young man named Camburn. resld.
ing at Lanesboro, left that place last Sat
urday morning on the westward bound
passenger train for Preston, whittier he
journeyed to get bottle full of the ele-
plants breath. This thought so dazed
his reasoning power, that, like Eve, he
went into the forbidden fruit business, or
words to that effect. Instead Of leaving
the train in his natura! state, straw hat,
collar and pants. he fastened upon All
overcoat belonging to postmaster Har-
wood, of Austin, who missed his coat
when the train had reached the trestle
work, west of Isinours Station, and luck
lily deputy sheriff Wilkins, Of Spring
Valley, who was on board the train had
seen the young man take the coat and
leave the train. The train was stopped
and deputy Wilkins walked back to the
station where he telegraphed to the sher-
if here to arrest the man when he Came
in on the stage. The young man did not
ride on the stage, however, and was not
arrested until Mr.. Wilkins had walked
from the station, and then he found his
man down at the show ground. He re.
turned the coat, which he had hid near
Weybright's and paid a fine of 1875.
We advise the young man not to attend
shows any more-Preston Republican,
