Lon Saulpaugh is a giddy and frivolous
youth. He lives in the country, but not
near Milan. Lou is creature of emo.
lions rather than of circumstances. That
he is giddy and frivolous is owing, no
doubt, to the fact that he lives in the fast
age. Yesterday Lou came to town, as he
has oft came before. He got to imbibing

He soon became full. Then he wanted to
trade horses with somebody. He had rode
his fathers sorrel mare to town, and he
thought he would do the old man good
turn by trading her off. =. After looking
around he found a man who was ION the
trade" and after little skirmishing he
traded with the granger, receiving good
sized sum of money to boot. He felt elated
over his good trade, and treated several
of his friends. Then, as the report goes,
he took hand in game of freeze out, 3"

swindied. The gang of toughs who he
had been playing with. threatened to put
head on him if he didn't dry up, so Lou
straddled his new horse, and departed for
his fathers mansion. 1t is said that his
father will be in town today and swear

Loose custom-house management on

there than anywhere else. Late adj
vices from Paso del Norte were that the
shipment of merchandise into the coun-
Try, both freight and express, WAS at a
standstill because the Official whose
business it was to sign the papers neces-
sary for the introduction OF goods had
gone away on trip of some kind to
Chihuahua, and as in his absence there
was no one empowered to transact the
business of his Office nothing coul1 be
