He told us that he was broke, that he had been robbed of a check of $77 by fellow by the name of Alex. Maufri and asked me to wire for him at once to Tip Top not to dis pose of that check. that he was in need of the money. In two or three hours after we went down to one of the saloons and our man was there asleep, and some of the boys had him spotted and striped all over his face with rcd paper, and then some one woke him up and took hins to the looking glass to sec himself and he made up his mind that some one had been giving him a terrible thrashing, that he was bloody all over and that his physIognomy was badly disfigured. At the looks of himself he fainted-groaned-bawl- ed like two year-old calf and want ed to know who was the wild, mean cussed Arab that had given him such whaling. "I was in the Mexican war; fought Indians from the Mis- souri to the Pacific; went through the war of the Comstock and Pioche and never had myself disfigured in this way before-" The poor fellow was the wo st distracted person we ever saw, ard we had to lathe him and wash him with soft soap, etc. He believes to this day that he is not the same individual as before

Il see, '' said he, ''that Judge Porter is as good as elected already; he has taken all over the Territory like hot cakes at a hash house. He is well re- ceived everywhere and to me he is just as well as elected. He is no slouchl No milk and water about himl And, boys, We have to con cede that he is better, stronger. brighter, wiser, and abler man than we thought he was!! And here is the County Recorder. Frank is d good, honest. jolly boy; you all know that. We can't scrape up any thing against hlm, only that he is fond of the fair sex; and as the shell of Democrat is as hard as a turtles, we can't blame him for that; we are all weak at that point" One said that he was a Republican, and the Chairman said: "Yes, it's a sin; but that is Frank, and you will find out that everybody will vote for him Agalu, there is Kelly. Gosl! 1 am plagued, we have to acknowledge that he is a good, honest man mp and down, and think by all the signs that he will have the majority o1 votes in this county, you will sec And I tell you, gentlemen of Club No. Al, that things don't look 70 me
