No Guns.

The information given to the TRIBUNE
some time ago regarding the contest over
the claim of Mr.. Kepler, of the firm of
Raymond Bros & Kepler, of Dawson,
proves to be erroneous in many respects.
1t was stated that during the discussion
which was animated. Mr.. II. H. Raymond
drew revolver from his pocket and
amused himself by tapping it carelessly
on the furniture. This, it seems, was
wholly without foundation and does a
great injustice to Mr.. Raymond, who is a
the interest in the case was intense and at
times the discussion reached fierce, white
heat, Mr.. RAYMOND made no such hostile
demonstration as was stated and, the
TRIBUNE regrets that its informant should
place him in so false light.

December Sport.

With warm zephyrs and bright sunlight
Saturday seemed to be the perfection
which the weather has been approaching
for several weeks. A spring day in the
tropics, May-day in the land of the pal
metto, day in which the paradisean balm
of imaginary Edens came in soft, sweet
caressing reality to fan the fevered brow
of man and toss the golden ringlets of the
happy rosy maiden. On the eve of
Christmas in Dakota the people are enjoy
ing weather which is rarely given to the
people of the east even in the seasons
when the flowers bloom and the summer
resort thrives.
Men in their shirt sleeves were seen upon
the streets, all heavy wraps were discarded
and the dust which followed passing teams
suggested the propriety Of bringing the
street sprinkler into use again.
The farmers who came in to do their Sat-
urday trading informed the inquirers that
they were still plOwing and that many are
sowing grain. To add to the genuine sum-
mer-like character of the day, and the en-
jOyment thereof the base ballists met on
the grounds north of the Episcopal church
and played game, which for excitement
and pure, VIII .lesome fun, has seldom been
surpassed. The clubs were christened
"Christmas'' and .:New Year." They were
composed of the following artists:
Christmas--Hutchins0n, p; Wallace. c.;
Byrne. 1b.; Keeler, If; A. Whitaker, 2b;
Newton, 3b; Church, IS.
New Year-Huber, p.; N. Gray, If; F.
Whitaker, 1b; Newcomb, 2b: b. Gray, c.;

The score was 10 to 8 in favor OF the New
Year team: Umpire, VIM. A. Falconer:

The Weather.

The temperature fell below zero for the
first time this season on the morning of the
oath, when the thermometers at the local
signal office recorded a reading of minus
two degrees at 8 a. m. In connection with
this it may be of interest to note that the
fall of the Thermometer was predicted in
the "chart of weather conditions for De.
cember as issued by the signal service and
published in this paper at the close of last
month.

A Comedy Of Errors.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch,

|
| An engraver in this city who has his
workshop at the top of a very high
bnllding advertised for an assistant a
| few days ago. He had some answers by
| mail and one of them was written in a
| pretty feminine hand and signed with a
still prettler feminine name. In every
case he replied, saying that a personal
| interview would be most satisfactory; il
| that was impossible, the applicant had
better forward some samples of work
| testimonials, etc.
Yesterday the engraver WAS hard at
work when he heard the elevator bump
at the top Of the shaft, and moment
later there came knock at the door.
The engraver looked upand saw through
the glass window of the door lady.
That's the lair engraver," said he TO
himself as he stepped TO the door and
CALAMITY ushered the lady in.
She was of a pleasant cOunte nance
and was dressed stylishlv, and the be-
witching spring bonnet she wore daz-
zled the engraver's eyes. a small boy
accompanied her.

he aloud, Wiping the zinc shavings off

Then she glanced at the big camera
| which hung like an Internal machine
across the room and said: Il thought |

the engrraver,. warmly. 81 appreciate

The young lady looked a little sur
prised, but continued quietly: 81 don't
care So much about myself, but mamma
wants Teddy taken"
1t was now the engraver's turn to be
puzzled, but, for fear of making blum
der, he said nothing, and the young
lady went on: Are you very busy to-
day ?"
''Not too busy to talk business with
you," replied the engraver. Have
you had any experience in this bust

She redeemed slightly as she said: 81

sternly, lis that don't propose to pay
any photographer $50 for taking my
picture; no, nor Teddy's neither ~
''Tm not a photographer ~
'What are YOU then ?"
1t took that engraver journey down
in the elevator and more honeyed
words than he has used for years to
persuade the fair guardian of Teddy
that he didn't mean to insult her, and
that she had mistaken his sign, "Photo
Engraving" in the doorway of the
building for the shingle of a photog-
rapher.
