a present this morning. 1t is steel en-
craving containing the photographs of 81

money enough he will have it encased in
gilt edged frame. 1t was sent him by

A Crank.

A wild eyed crank bobbed into the
ARGUS office about six O'Clock last even
ing, and wanted to buy revolver He
was told that this office was no gun shop
or hardware store, but nevertheless he
insisted that we kept -evolvers for sale,
because some fellow told him that the
ARGUS office was the place We tried to
convince him that he was mistaken, but
he wouldn't have it, and got downright
mad, and invited US to come out doors,
and he'd lick us quicker than minute, .
but we didn't go, Finding that he
couldn't get what he wanted, the crank
wsltzed out of the Office and wandered
down towards the river.
