The woman the s~aloonkeeper, and his

and Mr.. Barker for the defense, and both
lawyers as usual fought with great vigor
and eloqucncc. The court room was
damned with spectators and great inter
est was centered i'm the result, since the
woman was charged not with larceny. but
with robbery, the lowest penalty for which
is five years imprisonment.
Judge Fitzgerald found the defendant
guilty, not of robbery, but of petit larceny,
the watch beiuH valued at $40. The sem

woman was furthermore directed to re-
store the watch to it's owner. Mr., Barker
held thai the court could not find the de-
PENDANT guilty of one thing, when she had
been charged in the complaint with am
other, but the court said il had prccc-
dents for the validity of its decision.
Mr.. Barker gave notice OF appeal, and
the woman put up $50 bonds i'm cash.
Landry, the saloon keeper, will be tried
at 10 o'clock this morning for assault and
battery upon S~tranahan.

Paying ON Old Debts.

From the Greenviiic O.. a. Baptist Courier.
An old preacher, whose name we will
call Birch, was famous for preaching on
the subject of paying of old debts. One
of his auditors. who had been wearied
with Brother Birch's iteration on this sub
ject. once said to u ncighboring minister:
~ wish You would suggest u subject that
i can give Brother Birch, out of which he
can not get anything about paying oil old
debts" 'Give him the conversion of Saul
and Tarsus," said the minister. Soon after
this the wearied brother met his pastor,
and said; 'Brothcr Birch, I would like to
hear you preach "a sermon on the CONVEX.
sion of Saul of Tarsus. Won't you 10 il ?'
.C~ertainly.'' said the pastor. at is n cap
ital subject. ! will preach on il next sum
day." On the following Lords day
Brother Birch the text, Acts ix:.
q: "Lord what will thou have me to do ?'
and opened thus: "My brethren 1 shall
preach to you to-day on the conversion OF
Saul of Tarsus. Saul, my brethren, was
n truly-convcrted man, and my sermon
will be IA discusson of the marks of genu-
inc conversion. And the first mark, INV
brethren, of n genuine conversion is that
a nan will always pay oil his old debts"

AT the request of of n very large number

ganizc home watch and IN clubs, i'm
order that the people of this city and vi
cinity may have AN opportunity to procure
goods upon that satisfactory plan. Solicit
ing agents of outside clubs have been i'm
thisp place lately and when il is considered
that their commission is necessarily add
cd tn the cost of the goods purchased, il
will he seen that the home club offers u
decided advantage over outside ones, as
the agents commission Is done away with,
and Mr.. Keppler can thus dispose oS gouds
at prices below what the same article can
he purchased elsewhere. Another COM
mentlable feature of the home club is that
all kinds of goods can he purchased by it's
members, whereas outside clubs conflne
their sales solely tn watches and
diamonds. The terms are the usual ones
of ~ weekly payments. Mr.. keppler is
now in readiness To take numbers for q

ing ARRAY. II appears that George Wren
owed William Brown, n miner, for work
done at the Wren mine. They met in
Sand Coulee yesterday to talk the matter
over and quarrelcd. Poth had drank
liquor freely. Brown left Wren and went
home. Soon after that Wren came to
rown' shack and ordered him to
leave II. Wren had rented the
shack tn Brown. Brown refused tn 90.
His wife, who evidently feared trouble,
took a gun which was standing beside
Brown and gave Il to Wren, who threw IL
back to Brown, damaging the stock.
Brown took up the gun and fired at Wren.
He missed his aim and fired again. This
time the ball struck Wren i'm the thigh,
making n dangerous wound. Brown then
ran into the mine. News OF the shooting
spread and a crowd assembled. William
Glasscock and Hugh Evans feared a riot
and persuaded the people to GO away.
Then Brown, who had said he would not
he taken alive, came out and went to n
house i'm town, where Deputy Sheriff
Estee soon arrived and Immediately
took him into custody. Word was

was kept on the prisoner until he arrived.
Brown was drunk when the sheriff first
took charge of him and was still drunk
said that il was fun To see Wren run after
the first shot was fired at him. Hamilton
brought Brown to the county Jail here at
midnight. George Wren is an old miner
who has lived about four years at Sands
Coulee.

Mrs. Mcdonald, of Chicago, Fires Three
Bnllets Into Her Husband.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2l.-ExPoliceman
Mcdonald was shot and probably fatally
wounded by his wife this morning. She
demonstrated with him for taking $l6
which she had pinned to the inside of
her skirt last night. Mcdonald denied
having taken the money. Hot words
followed and the pair became involved
in a bitter quarrel. Mrs. Mcdonald
pulled her husbands revolver and fred
three shots, all of which took effect.
The woman says that she was saving
money to pay tie rent; that last night
her husband took it all and spent it for
drink; that this morning they had a
quarrel about it; that he threatened her;
that she picked up the revolver and
pointed it at him to frighten him; that
he tFcn made rush for her, and, know
ing his desperate character, and that he
wouId kill her If he got the revolver,
she tried to fire all of the bullets out of
it before he could wrest it from her;
that in the struggle he was accidentally
shot
