ancient gentleman who exhausted the vo-
cabulary in naming his children and grand
children, but still another came. "Issacher
shall be his name-a strong ass crouching
between two burdens" There was another
man In modern days who represented Law
renee county, and especially Deadwood and
his personal friends, in the legislative coun.
Gil Of Dakota, who assumed and played the
role of "Issacher the overburdend ass"
The burdens were numerous and heavy to
bear. They included all the Objectionable
and really bad legislation in both houses,
the bad jobs of all his associates all the
logrolling included Issacher, and the burden
OF his " bad measures was vast as their
number was great. Issacher obeyed his
masters and they we're hard masters. Since
the legislature adjourned Issacher has made
great Dragging about 4 townsite bill which
the governor did not approve, and that ex-

give his promise in favor of any bill until he
