Buffers Experience on n Jury.
metroit Times

SNAO AAAASo
When Butler was young he was walking
one afternoon in Court Square. Boston,
when a sheriff's officer came rushing out Of
the courtroom and seized him, and COM
PEELED him to come into the court house,
where he was told that he would nave to
serve on the jury, the panel being incom-
plete. This was the old-time way of making
up the panel. Ben protested loudly, and in
formed the judge that he was benjamin
Franklin Butler, a member of the Middlesex
bar, and therefore exempt from forced jury
service" But the judge, quite a wag,
although knowing Butler well, affected to
discredit the story, and said:
"If you are a lawyer, show me some proof
of what you say"
Butler had only his word for 1t, and was
put on the jury. TIL case was q harness
larceny, and Butler, availing himself of a
jurors privilege, began to examine witnesses
at interminable length. The court got mad,
but dared not show it. Finally the jury re-
tired, and in the jury-room Butler stood out
for acquittaI, and argued his fellow-jurors
nearly deaf. Some of them fell asleep.
Meantime the judge outside fairly boiled
with anger ut the un~accountable delay of the
jury over so petty n case. At last, after
three or four hours delay, the jury came in.
The judge beckoned to the foreman and said
to him: "What kept you SO internally
longf'
"Why," said the foreman, "that COMPOUNDED
Butler talked us almost to DEATH"
After the verdict was rendered the Judge,
by that time highly diverted at Buffers
ingenuity, excused him from further service,
Ben retreating with the observations: al
thought you'd get enough Of me-"

This is n queer town-El Paso 1 mean, the
American resort. Thieves, thugs, and gam
blers make up a large proportion Of the popu-
lation. As elsewhere on the border, and for
miles and miles away down in Mexico, the
American tough is supreme. Sometimes he
dresses well, sports an ~eye-glass and q cane,
and tells of his rich pa in Nj Yowk, or Lon
don, or some other place heard Of through
the police columns of the daily press But

ing his assumption. And it is he and his
comrades who are tho greatest foes to re-
spectacle travellers.
The rogues live on the gullibility of the un-
sophisticated tourist. They are to be feared
more than a Mexican. When you load your
revolver preparatory to a journey along the
border or toward the capital of the Mexican
republic, just put in five shells for the Ameri-
can border scoundrel to one for the Mexican
assassin. Many OF tho fellows are refugees
from justice, who have been guilty of crime
in the states, and will flee toward the in
terror of Mexico at the slightest
sounding of alarm. Some of them levy u
taxs systematically on strangers. The modus
operandi is quite simple. Here is a northerner
in a bar-room whose bullying eyes betoken his
wonder of the sights he has seen. He is the
marker. Staggering in, the tax-gatherer

The killing is all in his own imaginative

the extended ears of the oth-to-be-getting-

the "strahnger" to take a drink. Now, real

1t Seems Disposed to Beautifully Fizzle

Out.
The nowsnotorious Clarke cases have
taken a new turn. Erbert Clarke, rs is
well known, is confined in jail to await
trial in three cases, to wit: Aggravated
assault and battery upon his wife; surety
of the peace, and the commission of an
abortion upon his wife. 1t will also
be remembered that after Clarke was con
fined in jail, his wife brought action for a
divorce and alimony. ~
Soon after the bringing of the last
named action she relented, and declines to
proceed any further with it, and is taking
steps to have the action dismissed.
Now the criminal cases come in for at
t]ention. Mr.. Clarke has sued out writs
of habcas corpus before Judge Blair, and
the same were granted and made re-
turnable before him on Friday morning at
10 o'clock in Laramie City. The writ
was served on the sheriff yesterday, and he
will have the body OF Clarke at that
place on time.
By telephone from Laramie
City, it is, learned that the
petitioner will stand upon the lack Of
evidence to legally hold him. This dem
oustrates the truth Of the statement by
some of Mrs. Clarkc's neighbors, who say
that Mrs. Clarke is going to take back
the charges she made against her
husband. As Mrs. Clarke is the main
witness in these eases, her rctraction will
naturally have a tendency to acquit her
husband, at the proper time.
The county has expended a great deal
of money to protect Mrs. Clarke, when
she complained that she was in danger of
being killed by her husband. She repeat
eddy stated to representatives of The
LEADER and SIM that her husband had
nearly killed her a number Of times. But
it seems that with the healing of the
sores, her feelings have healed and she is
willing to try her husband over again. The
county must pay the expense, of course,
while Mrs. Clarke plays fast and loose
with the officials.

pos tive genius, could have wrought
such perfection and enabled Mr..
BroOkes so successfully to
counterfeit nature. Mr.. Edwin
Deakir, who spent last summer in
eketching in Salt Lake, and whose
visit is pleasantly remembered by
so many, makes a splendid exhibit
OF architectural. landscape and fruit
pieces. OF the frat class the "West-
minister Abbey" anu "Notre Dame
are noble examples. There is
some exceptionally fine painting
IN the NotIe D me, in the artistic
Oppos ition, both in texture and
color, betW een thu cold grey walls
of the cathedral and the rich col
ored sails and hulks of the river
GRAFT and the green gu 5sy surface
OF the water. The sold mill' at
Salt Lake il we'll known and pr'Z I'd

given it such picturesque treatment
as 10 make striking picture out Of
it. "The Wasatch Mountains at
Sunset" is another Utah subject
selecJed from the fi'ty>four sketches
he made while here. It shows tbs
aherglOw from the sinking Gun

Of the Wasatch, while the valley BE-
low is enVel0ped in the blue even

amGng this collection of fine pic
lures the studies Of U:Rh fruit,
and we felt real pleasure
in recognizing again the bunch
of grapes that came from Mr.. Teas

painted. Thomas Hill keeps 10 his
early love, and has large picture Of
the Yosemite Valley from Bridal
Veil Meadow. It seems TO excel
any others of this subject We have
ever seen. 1t is simply grand. The
mag cal effects of perspe ctive and
distance, and the vast height
of Ell Captain are exceedingly
well el pressed, while the
rock cleaviGgs on the left hand
are something wonderful. The fore
ground is made up Of the weeds and
green Of the meadow and an indian
camp, while lice of beautiful trees
make up the middle distance. In
the extreme background are seen
the Royal Arches and the Half
Dome, making altogether surely the
best composition OF which this
famous valley is capable. Mr.. Hill
Ia also represented by couple Of
portraits and some other works.
Many other beautiful works were
exhibited, notably the exquisite
flower painting in water colors by
Adlle. Grandjeau, but lack Of space
preeludes at present a mere ex-
tended review of an exhibition
which is fine even for California.

afaIetsd with slight cell,
but her voice rang out in melodious
tones, and with appropriate ges>
