TAXING LAUpANUM.--Not thousand
miles from Phoebe, not long since, while
a Doctor sat in his Office studying the an
otomy of the human frame, he was rudely
interrupted by an individual rushing In,

liminaries of knocking, they entered the

The KILLING OF DUTcHY.-We got the
following particulars in regard IS to tho
cause Of the killing of "Dutchy" by Ben
Tssker short time ago. Dutchy was a
member of Tasker's gang, but growing

desired to sever his connection with that
band Of outlaws, but King Ben refused
to accept his resignation, fearing that
Dutohy, after getting out OF reach, might
betray some Of the bands secrets, and
killed him. 1t is to be hoped that othsl
members of the gang will desert and that
Ben will catch and kill them, for 1t Will
be so many cattle thieves less. Dutchy
