A Conductors Practical Joke.

A few days ago promising young merchant
of Butte left for visit to San Francisco, and
by happy coincidence met a lady on the train
who was going few miles down the road to
see her mother. Being slightly acquainted
they became engaged in conversation, and
soon afterward fell into blissful slumber, the
lady on one seat. and the gentleman on the
other. On the train was q Sheriff, who hap
pened to have with him a pair of handouts,
and the conductor of the train being we'll &C.
quainted with the travellers above mentioned
proposed to the officer to play practical joke
on the innocent slumberers. Assent was
given, and the conductor, taking the hand
cuffs, cautiously approached the unconscious
PAIR and attached their lstless arms by the
official jewelry. He then raised racket, and
the sleepers awOke with a start, only to find
that in their sleeping innocence they had been
joined together, and that no man without q
key could part them asunder.
They all Joined merrily in the laugh, and
though the gentleman CALAMITY avowed his cap
tivity most pleasant one, the lady had lmost
arrived at her destination, and asked for a
separation. Then and there the trouble arose.
The Sheriff had lost the key, and the situa-
merrily cOnceited jest, grew embarrassing in
the extreme. The key could not be found,
and at the next station the conductor was
obliged to procure file and 60 through the
tedious process of filing the wristlets SO that
the travellers could proceed on their separate
ways rejoicing. The conductor states that
the next time he plays practical joke he will
vigorously avoid the gentle handcuff.-Mon-
tdnG Inter Mountain.
