Morris tribune., 1881-09-15

a muscular Cnap naWeu Uco. Catl, WHO
had imbibed large cargo of crazy booze,
made himself a nuisance generally last Fri
day, by endcavoring to create disturb
ance. The marshal collared the lad, but
found he could barely hold his own anI it
took the combined efforts of three officers
to land the obstreporous individual in the
refrigerator. A pard of the prisoners en-
deavored to interfere, but he was gathered
into the fold also, and found TO his sorrow
that it is costly amusement to interfere
with the police. When he first put in his
oar he was arrested, but succeeded in get
ting clear while the officers were tusselling
with CAIN He did not get far away,
however, as he was pursued and recap
tured, and it cost him several dollars 10 get
out of limbo.
They were leaning up against an obscure
corner of the canvas wall, which con-
nected the menageric with the pavilion
tent and he was telling her something too,
too, awfully too, etc, and she was doing
the same for him, when some rascal slip
ped the loop from an end reg and presto!
when they got up they were outside and
the blamed canvas was back in place again
and immovahle. The hero of this catas-
trophe says he didn't give a-well we for
got what, for the price of the second tick
cts he had to buy before he could re enter,
all he wanted was someone to point out
the fellow who came it OH him in this
heather style, and to keep the affair quiet.
Of course as he confided his troubles to the
scribe we won't tell. So reader don't let
Oh we eyer said word" we Amt mean
enough to give such a tall man away, not
much.
A BEGINN1NG.-On Monday evening last

tainments held IA meeting, and quorum

land As it is desired to complete all ar
rangements with a view to making prepa-
Iation for the series of entertainments to be

mi.tee viii, meet on tomorrow, Friday aft
ternoon, at o'clock, at Brisbine's hall, and
it is requested that there be II full attend
ance SO that the necessary preliminaries
may be arranged and the sub committees
set ut work.
CAUTIoN.-It may not be untimely to
again warn hunters against the reckless
use of the rifle during the fall hunting sea-
son. Very many sportsmen we are aware
use the rifle for raising game in large lakes
and sloughs, and also in hunting the larger
game, such as geese, crane and brandt. AS
the improved repeating rifles carry long
distance they IRE very dangerous unless
carefully handled. especially is this the
case when bullet is fired across water,
for it will ricochet or make a glancing
bound and travel with an unchecked force
an almost incredible space. Then again
many hunters contemplate using decoys,
this may lead to accident us at distance
they would be mistaken for birds. Anoth-
er danger attending the use of the rifle is
this, some of your cwn party may, I'M
known to you, change their position ard
be creeping up on the very birds you send
bullet among, and thus be exposed to
your fire and in very hazardous position.
We would urge the exercise of every care,
use great precaution to avoid possible acct
dent, for a mistake means mischief.
A Coop BEG1NNING.-The agitation Of
the wheat question by our board of trade
is having its effect as the following letter
from general freight agent Alexander will
show. The letter annexed was received
in reply to one sent by Mr.. Good, chair
man of the board of trade committee, in
which the attention of the railroad COM
pany was called to the fact that at COM
peting points, on the Hastings s. Dakota
railroad. the tariff rates OF grain were
lower than here and the prices of wheat
proportionately higher. This had the eff.
feet to draw away grain from the territory
naturally tributary to this point, and in
view of the fact suggested, that it would
be to the companies interest to reduce
their rates corrcspondingly. This letter
called forth the following very satisfac
tory reply:

CIRcUs.-The event of the week and in
deed of the season was the appearance OF
Saturday last of the Burr Robbins & Col
vim show, which gave exhibitions in TIL
afternoon and evening of that day.
large number of people were in from tn
adjacent towns and country. and consider

favorable weather, the attendance wa
! much greater than expected. Of the nu
merous attractions as furnished, we ca
truthfully say that taken as a whole it ]

lists of considerable merit. and furnished
j liberal and interestingly attractive pro
