Robert Bennett announced himself
in the police court to-day as "a gen.
tleman from Arizona" and said that
ought to plead his excuse for getting
drunk and Furnishing his pistol. He
knew, he said, that all the city wanted
was to skin him for all he was worth.
and for that reason he had been care
full to conceal a huge roll of money in
his possession when arrested. This
break did him no good, and the usual
ifty-dollar fine was imposed. His
manner alone was enough to back his
assertion-that he was from the far
west.

served that Gaiteau took the same posi-
ton in the eel under the window, for
weeks. Mason noticed this and made
up his mind that a shot simed at that
spot, any evening after the guard ar
rival, would hit Guiteau through q
window opening in line with Guitean's
cell window, but he could not fire q
direct shot from that position. He had
to go round the yard and get another
position in order TO command range OF
the cell window. Mason did not stop
at his usual point Of observation TO see
IL Guiteau was at the window, but, as
he had never failed to be there when
guard arrived. Mason took it for grant
ed that the prisoner vas there; so he
hurried Oh to a point where be could
get the range of the window. One rea-
son for believing that Guiteau tells a
falsehood when he says he was at the
window, is that be must have been bit
had he stood as he said. Guiteau has
been removed, and the location of bis
cell is a profound secret, neither the
military CT the officers knowing where
II is.

by q severe cough. l soon began tt

weak ut Ii time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 l was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said / had a hole In

expended over a hundred dollars In
doctors and medicines. 1 was SO far
gone at nj time a report went around
that I was dead. / gave up hope, but
q friend told me Of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. I laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif-
cation, I commenced to feel better.
My hope, nee dead, began TO revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.

ties, and "a positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines I have taken since my sick

Watkins has q tortoise that be found

puzzling his brain over the question of
how he got here. There isn't q tortoise
within fifteen hundred miles, and tho
natural supposition Is that he rained
down. He Is about ten inches long, by
seven or eight wide. and rs pretty as q
high-back comb.
At first the theory was that he had
walked over the Union Pacific road
from San Francisco, but more mature
thought revealed the fact, that ut tho
usual rate Of speed manifested by the
tortoise, together with SO necessary
loss Of time fooled away a1nng the road

Natural delay from washouts and bad
heather, this tortoise would require
1000 years to pass through the space
alluded to. 1t is evident that tho reps
tile is not 1000 years old, so the tramp
theory Is evidently incorrect.
We are. therefore. led to believe that
some day that the tortoise YVES basking

Of a wave, he was gathered up into tho
