A Business Difference.

Several days ago Thos. Borden and Au-
gust Miller, who are supposed to own a
mining claim near Feely Station, got into
an alteration over some business PROPOSE
ton and the result was a fight in which
Miller came out second best, having had an
arm broken. As soon as possible he came
into the city and sought legal redress in the
shape of a warrant issued by Justice Lip
pincott charging his partner with a deadly
assault. Upon his sworn statement a war
rant was issued and subsequently served by
Deputy Sheriff Themes, and Borden was
brought before the Justice and placed un-
der bonds which he furnished and was re.
leased. The trial will take place Monday
and the evidence will show who was right
and who wrong. In the meantime Miller is
nursing a broken arm.

He Was Used to 1t.

Texas Siftiugs: A rather shabbily dressed
man, with a large book under his arm, in.
serted his nose into the orif1ce through
which railroad tickets at the union depot
at Apstin are sold.
"What can l do for your" asked Pete
Lawless, the genial ticket agent.
How much does a ticket to Dallas cost ?"
"Seven dollars and fifty cents"
"Well, I've got all but the seven dollars"
THAT'S hardly enough"
"Look here, my friend, I'm a book agent,
and I got roped into a little game Of poker
and I want to get out of town. Now, if
stay here I'll have to drum, and I'm a ter
ror. I've talked lots OF people into the
lunatic asylum. You don't want me to
talk you silly do your"
Suppose you try"
I'm the interests of the people OF Austin

staying here a week will retard it's growth
ten years."
so you are re lily q book agent. What
book are you selling?"
A galvanized smile spread over the mans
face, like a lot of butter on o hot batter
cake, and in a %sing-song voice he remarked;
II am offering the public in in seventeen
volumes, DR.. Bumblebee's Observations in
Palestine q book that should be in every
household, a book that not only contains
views of the learned savant on what he
saw in the Holy Land, but numerous spec.
citations and theories about what he did
not see, altogether forming a complete
library of deep research. pure theology and
chaste cyclop@dia. but am giving it away
at a ridiculously low figure
The agent paused. He expected that the
ticket agent would be bored, but he was
not. On the contrary, he seemed to be
amused and pleased.
Hadn't you better give nee q ticket, in
stead of having me talk you to death?"
Talk me to death! Why, man alive, ]
like to hear it. Say that over"
"Say it over?" queried the bewildered
book agent.
"Yes; l was . book agent myself before
I went into the railroad business, and what
YOU FAY is music to me. 1t calls back hal
lowed memories of the past and makes me
want to 60 on the road again. Why, man
alive, l could listen to you all day. !
wouldn't have you leave Austin for any
thing. Come around every day, and W
will swop experiences.
The book agent closed his book with 9
bang, andfaded away likea beautiful dream
1 in the direction OF saloon where they sol
| out free lunch. He had met his match To-
once.

THE Bitter BIT.
ON . Scheme Upon Which They In
tended to Realize,

How Some Avoritious Ne Got Badly Loft
ON . Scheme Upon Which They In.
tended to Realize.
In speaking with a we'll posted mining
man yesterday afternoon he related n in
stance Of how the "best laid plans Of men
and mice Oft gang aglee." The subject was
the jumping of mines, and the story is
about az follows: About q year ago two
or three men who had been for years in the
mining districts of Montana and the ada
cent points found q mine that they
felt certain would, if properly developed, as
a paying proposition. With this end in
view the Montana sharpers persuaded
certain retired grangers in Iowa, who were
ambitious, to invest in the enterprise, and
during the past year the purses OF the Iowa
men were drained to the extent Of $4,000,
but there was nothing to show for the
money. The mine is situated in a county
adjacent to Silver Bow and
toward the latter part of December
the Montana partners addressed q CON-
asking him to proceed to the ground, hold
it down, and relocate it on the first of JAN
nary. He answered that he would, and
carried out his contract to the letter. On
the night which is required by law he wal
OF the spot, posted the notice as required
by law, but put it in his own name instead
OF hat Of his employers, His
location notice was duly filed and
recorded, and a day or two after he met
with one of the sharpers, who asked him
whether he had obeyed instructions; to
which there was an affirmative answer. A
bill of the denomination of 500 was then
thrust in the hands of the locator, with a
request that the property be decided him.
His response was q demand for $4,000.
To this an objection was raised. but in two
days he was hunted up and rendered the
money. In the interim he had thought the
over and raised. 81, coo, making the
sum S., 900. Since then he has raised his
price to SIC. 1000, and although that sum
has been rendered in cash, he refuses to sell
at all, thinking that the property is worth
as much to him as to the men who en-
him to rob those who had trusted
them with $40, 900. Whether the re.
will admit the Iowa victims into a
share of the mine, which is said to be a
good one, remains to be seen.
