A few friends of George Walsh think he
ought to be nominated for county attorney.

at DR.. Ancker, beaming at the same time
on Aid. Cullen, MARK you, my good srs.
my head is not sWeIled with this new
found popularity. 1t is woman, tickle,
changing. 1t comes. ofttimes, without

| Jimmy Nugent sat in police headquart-
ers on Friday the day the ST. Paul switch
men went out, when Martin Delaney came
| in and remarked, well, hear they have

depot"
Jimmy had just been walking up past the

insane. and simply said: Il wonder if the
dead injuns are some of those that were up
on the street while ago. [ suppose the
whole tribe will be down from the reserva-
ton now. as witnesses-the dirty looking
buffers. Perhaps they may get to making
trouble here in st. Paul. It's awful. amt

four braves were sent to the happy hunting
grounds Oh Friday afternoon.
