Dep coroner. Court reporter.
The court reporter halted the court and
began learned harangue on matters OF
law, instructing the court, for all We know,
on some nice points of law to be made in
it's forthcoming "opinions and "de-
cisions" Be this as it may the reporter
spoke SO loud, so long and with so strong
an English accent that the voice of the
deputy coroner was completely drowned.
This annoyed the deputy coroner
to such an extent that finally los
ing his temper lie said to the
notary, ''There is no use Of our trying to
talk here as long as that English blather-
skite keeps bawling.' The court reporter
gave the deputy coroner look of wither-
ing contempt. and in lofty majesty replied
eli was Undressing the court, hand not
han habominable loafer like you"
The deputy coroner quick as lightning re-
torted, "You bang banged rotten old
English sorAof a bull-terrier, you blank
blanked old hypocrite, you carry hymn
book under ycur arm when you go to
church and then go home and lick your
wife, you dOubly dashed posterity of ca
1i3e parentage. Why there's nothing of
v0e man about you except the plug hat
you have on your head. Go home, you
condemnationed old Britisher to the coun-
try that spawned YOU
"You loafer hand vagabones y retorted
the court reporter, "yOu hidiO. hand
lunatic, you 'avcnt got hand never 'ad a
country, hOr parentage neither, you were
spawned hupou the hocean. Hif you give

We have neither time nor type in which
to reproduce the cxpletives hurled at each
other by tho coroner and the reporter.
Tho Oaths were miracles Of swear. words,
four stories high, topped with mansard
roofs, and having balconies Of blaSpllcmy
running all around each story of the struc-
turc. Blue blazes shot along the corridors
of the court house, lighting up the faces Of
the startled county officers and clerks with
the light of gehenna. The court stood
petritied, q crowd Of nearly one hundred
spectators gathered, and the coroner in
chief, always awake to business and cx
pccting to have 4 double inquest to hold,
took down in shorthand the names of
fifty-nine witnesses. The belligcrents
dared each other to fight, the
court reporter wishing to fight it
out in the presence of the
court, and the deputy coroner insisting
on settling the matter outside. Moving
ont Of the back door of the corridor he
jumped the fence in front of Mart Urich's
saloon and dared the reporter to follow
him. The latter appears to have not
heard the challenge, for he remained on
the back steps of the court house yelling
like Pythias. Coward, coward, damned
treacherOus coward" and hurting many
far more cxpressite expletives after the re-
firing but not retreating deputy.
The end is not yet. To-day there are
rumOrs that an early meeting will take
place between the two officials, and it is
confidently asserted that the reporter
whose fighting weight is 80 pounds has
placed himself in training under Clayt.
Myers, and that the deputy coroner who
weighs 81, is taking lessons in the noble
art under the careful eye of Kahl Sny der.
