at Bassett's early in the evening, putting up at
Martins hotel. Kid preferred lying on the
floor on n blanket to going to bed, and was so
disposed in the same room where the sherln
and several other men kept vigil. About IL
o'clock in the night a band of some dozen
masked men entered the room, with revolyers
drawn, and ordered call hands up!" In this
position Kid was reused up and marched on;
but, knowing full the penalty he would soon
pay, he begged pitcously with his captors for

spite from the inevitable and ignominious fate
he felt he was fast approaching. The appeals

have taken out of the market to supply def
%ciencies. 1t is not required to file Il list of the
land 1t has lost in lieu of which it asks to make
another selection: Mr.. Strait thinks that this
is wrong and that the company should not he
