Genuine Rims

Devils Lake is, and has been for some
time past, infested with Il gang of buns,
the lowest of their class. Their principal
beverage is the stale beer which is found
in the old kegs sitting in the sun on the
sidewalks. In the morning, after the
buns have crawlcu from their strange
places of repose in dry goods boxes,
livery stalls and hen coopS, then doth the
mighty iiig-,juicr get in its work. Tho
buns are II sight to look upon. They
stand about the saloon doors waiting for
the refuse liquor and slops of the pre-
vious night To be diShcd out to them,
their palsicd forms uuaking and shaking
until the boards in the sidewalks trcm-
bic again. One of them recently
begged for all the liquor he could drink.
\ tin uippcr full of whisky WAS handed
him, and he drank every drop of il with
out stopping to breathe. AS he turned
to leave the saloon he fell full length
upon the sidewalk and lay there all day
in the hot sun. When he was able to
talk he said it was the biggest time hcd
eyer had. Another one. whose tongue
| was scorcling the roof of his mouth. be-
seeched one of our local BARRIERS to give
him II drink of hair-tonic or something.
The tonsorial man handed him Il quart
| bottle of ''sca foam,' which is used rol
cleansing the scalp and cradicating dan
drutf. The bum swallowed two-thirds
Of the bottles contents and would have
finished it. but the barber took the bot
tie from him. "Sea foam costs one
dollar quart. The bum remarked that
it was the richest thing he ever drank.

The following is briefly the heart-burst
theory Of the defense referred to by
Judge Mcconnell. 1t is given for the
benefit OF those who were not present
at the trial and therefore did not hear
the expert testimony introduced by the
defense: First, that it was line shot ;
second, it was not exactly in range OF
the heart; and, third, had the bullet
rassed through the heart with sufficient
force to penetrate rib opposite its en-
trance it would have made two holes in
the heart, one where the ball entered,
the other where it came out. There
was but one hole.

Of death, the INTER OCEAN can only say
it is quite certain that McWeeney is

believe Science, wonderful as she is,
