A fresh peal of laughter from the

the poor shooting, and, seizing gun
from one of the privates, angrily ex-
claimed:
"Ill show you fellows how to shoot!"

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in equality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
Bile, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold il
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold Watch Case an, y u,,x
which saves the WASTE Of need 3 d
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDIrY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

The contractors were losing money on the
service and objected that they would lose
more under a daily schedule. Therefore the
route was expedited to compensate tho con-
tractors; that was one of the principles they
worked under at that time. Subsequently
Judge Kidder retired from congress and
his successor, Mr.. Bennett, requested witness
to increase another route and discontinue
the Vermllion route. Witness declined TO
discontinue the service granted at Judge Kid
der's request, but promised TO do what he
could for the other route. Witness believed
that Gen. Miles was the first person to urge
the establishment of the Tongue river route.
The matter of expedition on that route was
seriously considered by Judge Key and him
self 1t was evident that the contractors
could not put on service for the sum at
which tho route was let Three times
n week service would not have benefited
Them for u star route should run day and
night to be good one. The contractors had
probably taken the service in a blind leap,
taking the route at so much mile and as
the country was wholly unknown, and they
had no data upon which to base their calcu-
lations, their bid was too low to pay them
Tho necessity for the service was apparent
and the only way to get it was to expedite
the route; S25 mile was only fair rate of
pay for such service.
At this point in the examination the court
adjourned until to-day.

Goes For the Woman Who SupplRnted
Her in Her Husbands Affections.
Quite commotion was caused on Market
space yesterday afternoon by scrimmage
between two females, and for while Anna
zonian slugging was the regular order.
1t appears that for some timo past the
husband of Mrs Maria Byrne has been pay
ing desperate attentions TO young female
named Nellie Maloney. His infatuation for
her was so great that not long ago Mr.. Byrne
began living with Miss Maloney in house
opposite Willards hotel, and has neglected his
wife in consequence. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Byrne was meandering up Market space intent
on new Easter goods when she espied Miss
Maloncy coming down. The cause of all her
domestic trouble caused the wrath to bubble
up in her bosom, and, in the language of the
classics, she went for her rival in the atiec-
tions of Mr.. Byrne. The scene that followed
was most exhlarating one. Miss Maloney's
frills and furbelows were angrily disarranged
by the irate Mrs. Byrnc, and the latter's
| finger nails scattered the formers hat feathers
to the balmy breezes of heaven. There is no
telling what damage Miss Maloney would
have suffered If officer Breen had not put in
his appearance and arrested the belligcrents
Mrs. Byrne was charged with assault and
battery, and left so collateral at the fifth
