GONE HoME.--News reached town
yesterday that William Napoleon Far
rington, otherwise known as French
Bill, had departed from this world. He
WIS materially assisted by three or
four bullets which Hank Henderson
fired into him during u dispute about
the ownership OF q piece Of land. We
don't know whether Henry was right
or wrong, but we have felt for some
time that this cold world was no place
for Mr.. Harrington. He wasn't q bit
content, and he was in the habit of
shooting Mt such people as were. He
wunted cheaper whisky, better weather,
more latitude for his skill with the
pistol, and we truly hope he's got 1t.

the cashier of the First National
Bank, the Colonel approached us and
warned us to prepare for death.
Greatly to our own -mazement and to
the intense surprise of the whole

brick house falling on sand fly, and
we had him licked inside of five min.

OF course the millionaire knew that he could
