Alfred Anderson is to be hanged at Port.
land, Oregon, on the 10th Of April, for
murder. He has been in prison for many
months, and the life grew so monotonous
10 him that he concluded the other day to
perform little practical joke by way Of
diversion. The guard who sits outside
Anderson's cell door has lately acquired
the unfortunate habit OF sleeping while on
duty; and it was during his enjoyment Of a
stolen nap the other evening that Ander-
son committed the joke. He made rope
OF bedding, put his head in false moose,
bent his knees, rolled his eyes, stuck his
tongue out, and then kicked over bucket
to wake the guard. The latter sprang to
his feet aud seeing Anderson hanging,
rushed to the jailer's room for the keys Of
the cell. When he returned Anderson had
got back into bed and was feigning sleep.
Just four weeks to day from the date Of
his rollicksome freak Mr.. Anderson is
engaged to perform the rope act in dead
