The Mcpherson Republican relates the
following, which is perhaps true of a
great many sheriffs swollen with author
ity and donned with a revolver: The
deputy sheriff of Reno county attempted
TO make an arrest northeast of Galva,
this county, that was a signal failure.
The party TO be arrested was Lewis
Cumpten, for disposing of mortgaged
property. The wife and daughter stood
the officer off with such articles of
household furniture as they could lay
their hands on. They even took the
deputy's revolver from him by sheer
force. The deputy finding he had
struck hornets nest, sent to this city
for the sheriff to assist him and while
waiting for the officer he stood guard
over the house from eleven O'Clock in
the morning until four in the afternoon,
when Deputy Sheriff Sits arrived on the
ground. He proceeded at once to bust
ness, but found the bird had flown The
Reno county officer had been guarding
an imaginary prisoner for five hours.
The wife and daughter returned the
officers revolver TO Deputy Sits. saw
ing, they relieved the young man of his
fire-arm for fear he might hurt himself.

The declaration of Patrick Ford, editor
of the Irish World, which, by the way,
is the ablest exponent of the principles
and aspirations of that nationality, that
he would support Mr.. Blaine for the
presidency, while it did not necessarily
commit him unalterably to the support
of the Republican party and its nominee
whoever it may be, yet it did commit
him against Cleveland. 1t is fair to ex-
pect his support, therefore, for the Re-
publican nominee, in view of the GER
tainty that MIR. Cleveland will receive
the nomination at the hands of his party.
