peripatetic Hinglishmen, who given to long
walks strolled over to Mapleton week ago last
Sunday. One of the gentlemen-a dog fancier
was followed by his pets, or pests and farmers
dog on the way engaged in some little unpleas
antness with them. and was showing them very
close attention to the dissatisfaction of Johnny
Bully, who ruined his character as true sport
ing man by shooting the one dog which was
whipping two with pistol, which is secreted in
his cane. The farmer heard the wow the wiot
and the wumpus and saw his dead dog. He went
to his house awful quick and came out with a
lopg black thing that one Of the pedestrians
called double-barreled shot gun, and the far
mer says he knows one of those men was o'Lesry
and the other was Campana, because he says no
other two men could keep that far ahead of him
on two.me run, and that zone o. them ere fell
lers was powerful racer, with his legs hitched
clost up to his neck" The Hinglishers have al
