1t has been ascertained that the origin
of the report of the shooting of our citizen,
J. b. Baker, aarose in this. manner;
When Sheriff Baker was telegraphed to
60 to Collysr in connection with the
arrest of Bush for shooting Condor, the
telegraph operator at Abilene got the
message off the. wire., but lacked a big
majority of taking it straight. Mr.. Baker
has son named George; our Sheriff Ba.
ker's first name is George, and the Abb
lene operator had it that Georges father
was the individual who had been shot.
Baker & Sons are from Enterprise, only
three miles from Abilene.

WE have received from J. B. Hurl-
ing, Chicago, little book entitled
Suggestions in Punctuation and
Capitalization" 1t is the most con-
else, practical treatise on the subject
we have ever seen. A copy should
be in every printing Office, and in
the hands of everyone who writes
for publication. The small price at
which it is offered, twenty-five cents,
places it within the reach of all.
The same parties publish, in the
same form, abbreviated Longhand"
y system of rapid writing intended
for the use of those who have not
the time or opportunity to acquire
shorthand. While it will never take
the place of the latter for verbatim
reporting, a knowledge of its princi-
pies, which could be acquired in
short time, would be a help to
scholars or readers who wish to take
notes for future reference.
