winds, that wasn't nuthin'. Why,
out 'yar on the Tongue river in '69 L

bark off'n every bush an tree in the
valley. It actually blew every drop
o. water outen the river, an fur three
DAYS the catfish laid around under
the stones with their tongues lollin'
out pantin' an prayin' fur rain!"
When be had ceased, a small man
advanced toward him an l said:
"I'll bet that I kin prove you to be
the biggest liar in America"
The stranger drew him aside and
asked:
care you from Clay county, Mis-
soury?"
II am not"
"Ever live in Coffee county, Kan

"Never did,"
"Then yer assertion that I am

"Then, pardner, Pm disappointed.
You spoke so confident like that 1
thought you might "a knowed me

special Correspondence OF the MINER.
GLENDALE, Sept. 4, 1888.
The most sensational incident
which has recently broken our usual
quiet, was an incident which occurred
in the justice court last Friday. Dep
uty Sheriff Vinson had arrested two
tough cases, and while the prisoners
were in court they became insolent
aud boisterous. The officer tried to
quiet them, when one of them
slapped him in the face, following it
up with a savage attack upon him,
in which both prisoners took part.
His Honor Immediately adjourned
court and took a hand in the melee,
rendering the officer such material
aid that the strong arm of the law
came out victorious, and the prisoners
were soon overpowered and placed in
irons.
The Hecla works are shut down
for few days for the purpose of re-
pairing the furnaces and machinery.
Ten Italian laborers, having been
paid off, skipped out of the
camp yesterday without settling nu-
merous small accounts due to citi-
zens. Suits were instituted against
them and they were overtaken on
their way to Idaho, where service
upon them was obtained and the
constables have since been kept busy
serving writs of attachment upon
them. They pay the bill and costs,
as each writ is served, but continue.
their travels toward Idaho and are
making good time, to get beyond the
reach of Montana law. REX.

arl est became known a crowd of one
hundred and fifty men assembled
and demanded the sheriff to turn
over the prisoners to them. He re.

THE NEW PREMIER OF FRANCE
4 Sketch of his Career.

Clement Armand Fallieres, the new
French premier, is scarcely more than
forty-one years old. He was born at Mezinf
in the department of Lot-et- -Garoune, on
Nov 6, 1841. lie studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar at Nerac, of which city
he became mayor, retaining the place up
tc the 5th of May, 1873. He presented
himself as candidate for the chamber of
deputies on the republican ticket
in February, 1876, and was elected
by vote of 1876 to GAP
for his Bonapartist opponent, in the arron-
dissement of Nerac. In the chamber of
deputies he took his seat with the faction
known as the republican left, and soon
made his mark as an orator. He was one
of the 1853 deputies of the united left who
voted against the De Broglie ministry
after the reactionary movement of May,
1877. At the ensuing general election in
October of that year, he was reelected to
the chamber of deputies, receiving 1888
votes to $50 cast for M. Dulfus, who had
been deputy under the empire and had
the support of the government. In the
new chamber of deputies he cast his
lot with the same faction of the republi-
cans, and added to his reputation by a fire.
quent display of oratorical ability of a
high order. In August last he made his
first appearance in official position, being
selected by N. Duclerc to succeed M. Cob
let as minister of the interior, which post
is, all things considered, the most difficult
and influential after the premiership itself.
He now reaches the highest place itself at
an age almost, if not quite, unparalleled
in the annals of France. NJ. Fallieres is
an influential man in the neighborhood of
his home, and for some years has repre-
sented the canton of Nerac in the council
general of the department of Lot-et-Gar-
onne, part of the old province of Gas
cogne.
