Occasionally there visits the sluggish
village of Lynnville curiosity in the
shape of a negro man with well de-
veloped elephants snout. When a
person of an enquiring turn of mind
asks the denizens of the place to give
reason for this, one of natures
strangest freaks, they invariably re-
ply that the negro's mother became
frightened at an elephant while she
was enceinte. However this may be,
the negro looks as much like an ele-
plant about the face as it is possible
for human to resemble that monster
beast. His nose, or snout, is aoout
eight inches long, and he is able to
scratch his ears or the back of his
neck with it. The upper lip is entire
ly gone, while he is supplied with the
long under jaw peculiar to elephants,
His mouth is of enormous size and
remains open all the time, he being
unable to close it. His tongue is as
thick as his foot and nearly as broad

Speaking Of the arrival in Denver of
Marshal Carr, of this city, having in
charge the prisoner "Curley Mack" an
account Of whose arrest was published
In the LEADER some days since, the
Denver Tribune recounts the crime OF
which he is accused:
THE prisoner now under arrest is
known as Curly Mack In Cheyenne
he went by the name of Frank Miller,
but his right name, it Is learned, is
Harvey Rustin.
The crime charged against Rustin
was committed about six weeks ago.
One night a miner named Colonel Ward
was being initiated into the mysteries
of theatrical green-rooms. He vas so
foolish as to flash up his roll in a dance
house known as the Red Light and
even after escaping from the seductive
sirens of this haunt had 81, 700 left in
his pocket. He had not proceeded far
from the place when he was knocked
down by three men, robbed of all his
money and left for dead in the street.
Two men named Dempsey and Neil
we're arrested for the crime. They
gave away Rustin as the man who had
been the principal in the attack and
who had received half of the money.
Rustin was traced to Omaha, where he
visited his old home, fourteen niles
from that city, and spent the larger
part OF his ill-gotten gains. He finally
came back as far as Cheyenne, where
he was working in a dance-house when
arrested. He was preparing to leave
for the Wood River country when Mar
shal Carr arrested him and brought
him to this city to be turned over to
Sheriff Becker. Sheriff Becker, who
had telegraphcd for Rustin's arrest, met
the Marshal at the depot"
The little statement about the Chey-
enne dance-house is just a bit too pre-
vious, rs our city is beautifully minus
that class Of Institutions, having not
even a variety theatre. The reporter
must have been imbibing of the spirit
of good old times"
