COURT "REMINISCENCES.
A Thing Or Two that Happened II
the ElkO District COurt.

A Thing or Two that Happened in
h EikO District Court.
Judge Flack was IN old timer in Nevada
and as long as he lived in the State he was
conspicuous, from the time he drank a
bottle Of bay rum (by mistake) at Reno,
until he died at Elko. He was q Mis-
sourian of but little culture, but Of strong
natural sense. The lawyers used to say
his judgment was remarkable, considering
the fact that he was never known to study
out a case argued before him. He was a
stubborn, stif.necked, independent 'soId
cuss," and was thoroughly honest and in
corruptible. This latter quality, 80 rare
nowadays, endeared him to the people of
Elko to such IN extent that when King
Alcohol had almost consumed his vitals
they elected him the third time District
Judge-during which term he died. There
is q spark Of humor Of the grim sort in
the following Incident: On the Sd Of July,
in the year 1878 TOR theresbouts) . trial
jury had Q case submitted to them which
the old Judge thought was plain, and he
gave them explicit instructions. They
wrestled with it all day, however, and
could not come to any conclusion. Late
in the night, dreading Imprisonment on
the next day. the GLORIOUS" Fourth, they
agreed and were anxious to get in their
verdict before IL o'clock. They sent word
to His Honor that they had agreed upon a
verdict, and the attorneys on each side of
the case wines and Lindsay went and
found him happy over a glass Of hot
whisky in his ~favorite saloon. They
stated their case and plead with him to
release the men who dreaded being kept in
the close jury-room all the Fourth Of July,
which would be the result if he would not
be good enough to receive their verdict at
once. "No, he wouldn't. Why didn't
they make up their minds before2" "Well,
then, Judge" put in Boil Lindsey. "what
are they going to do with their verdict?"
II don't know" was the Judicial reply,
land I don't care. Damn 'em; let 'em
swaller it,"
The old fellow, soaked with corn juice,
used to fall asleep in court, sometimes
very much to the annoyance of long
winded attorneys, and there were one or
two that he would 60 to sleep on almost
invariably, taking for granted probably
that he could guess at what they were
going to say or being willing possibly to
dream out their argument. One day he
fell fast asleep on a trial. Lawyer b.
suddenly stopped pleading, and exclaimed:
II will wait until His Honor wakes before
finishing" "But," quickly responded
D. of the opposite cousel, "perhaps
His Honor will wait until you have fin
before waking"

Sunny Smiles on Ruby Hill.

Yesterday, our correspondent writes US,
Ruby Hill was visited by several Of Eu-

we noticed Miss Z. Vanderlieth and sister,

attractive features Of that establishment
the whole party, under the able and dis

THE COOLER,
A Bit OF Philosophy From This Elk.

a BIZ OF philosophy From This Elk.
cellent Point of Departure.
The temple Of rest for perturbed spirits
is occupied now by only five inmates.
Four of these are in for opium smoking.
A good opportunity is now offered these
slaves OF the pipe to brace up and shake off
the terrible thrsldom. But we rather
suspect that they do not recognize their
opportunity. 1t is more likely that they
are counting the days of their durance
and breathing hard for their time of de-
liverance when they may ''hit the pipe
again and lose themselves under the spell
which they hate but which f~ascinates them
hopelessly. This is a queer system Of ours
"a mind and a body. If the former were
meant to control the latter land all the
philosophers say SOY how the intent Of ma
ture is baked in mani But maybe the
mind and body are less separable than we
generally believe; maybe they are blended
so as to render the distinction too diff
cult for the psychologists. Possibly they
establish their rules upon premises
that are no clearer to them than to the
H%ottentot. Anyway, there is enough in
the practices of life contrary to the formal
philosophy Of the schools (unhuman in
stitutions) to wipe out all their loud
sounding doctrines. There is "Rattler."
the fifth inmate Of the shabby cooler. He
is Rather pre-eminently, but there are
others Of his kind; more Of them, maybe,
than we think. His peculiar mania is
noise. He is never entirely Sat himself"
unless he is disturbing the peace. A pity
that, instead of alcohol, opium had not
captured him. Were he an op~ium-smoker
he might not be the nuisance he is, dis
gushing with his obscene sidewalk talk. 1t
is better, however, in the distribution Of evil,
perhaps, that there are not four Rattlers
and one pipe-hitter to put in the cooler
for the public good than the reverse-only
one Rather and four pipe-hitters who de-
stroy themselves with opium, but give
way to the consuming vice out of sight and
hearing of the sensitive world. Strange
longing for stimulus, excitement, distrac-
ton 1.-THE French of it, which means a set
ting aside of ones monotonous self for a
time), ecstacy by which nature is subdued
and the spirit exhilarated for a little space
beyond the flesh, needing afterwards every
time greater power Of art to overcome the
reaction. But this is the way we
go. We need not use the cooler as an
index either. The universal trend to dissi-
patton is perceptible on every street corner
and in every house. But nobody will deny
that the cooler is an excellent point Of
departure.
