Nesbit and no doubt escaped from
that place during the flood of last
June.
Reader, if YOU attended Port Roy
al Fair last fall, you have a recolle' !.
ton of Pawnee Bill-well here -
something from the Newport Ledger,
relative TO Pawnee Bills latest enter
prise: Mai. Lille, "Pawnee Bill"
who is travelling with Givens show
was here on Monday and succeeded
in purchasing an old Concord stage
of the Rice Brothers which will be
used in exhibiting the methods In
dians and other highway robbers on
the plains, in robbIng the mails and
travellers. The stage Is at Snyders
4 Kahler's undergoing repairs, after
which it Will be shipped to where
Major Lille orders.
The Tyrone Herald relates the
particulars of a daring robbery per
petrated at the depot in that place
some evenings ago. 4 family con
sisting of father. mother and little
girl, in company with two other
families, were on their way from
Houtzdsle 10 England As they
were getting on the train q stranger
approached them with apparent IN
tention of helping them on the train.
/ just as the woman was getting III,
he suddenly reached for her pockets
aud deftly took her pocket book,
cuntaing $500, and started mp he
tween the baggage room and station
IN the direction of the warehouse.
Before pursuit couli be given he had
disappeared IN the darkness. The
| family was made almost frantic over
the loss, but fortunately still retain
ed their tickets and baggage checks
aud were able to proceed ON their
journey.
Aliens Great Eastern shows and
trained animals exhibited hero last
Wednesday. If is did not come up
to what it professed III its advertise
mcnt or paper statements, ''it WAS
still al tortaining SNOW, So at least
those who attended it saw. There
seems to be a weakness among men
whether they are show people or
people in other walks of life when
they advertise or go on paper. FIR
example, a man Will go on paper in
bank, on promise 10 pay, when he
has nothing TO pay with Another
Will relate scandal, colored with as
much of the rainbow finish in it as
he can command. Another catches
a 1 inch trout and before he closes
his talk about it, the fish has length
ened to the size of 10 or II inches
Another is thirsty and he says he is
diving for a drink One man don't
agree with another and they each
ca the other the crank One man
Is a Presbyterian and the other Meth
odist and III the opinion of each other
neither one Is right. Another Is for
tariff, the other is not and In the op-
ion OF each other both are bent on
running the business of the county
and amids all of the exageration the
newspaper man is declared II be
at the head of the list of eIagerations
when III point of fact lie Is not. He
Is u ute II CbISei NiNlNS SIiiab'ttA NASh
1t comes To eIageration, which is
plain enough to any one who will OBJ
serve what exaggerated statements
people make. If the statements of
what one neighbor Of this community
SAYS about his fellow neighbor and
about the events and business of the
dav. could be published in a news
paper it would prove how conservative
aud cautious the newsp 'pers are and
how little of the exageration that
affiicts every phase Of human society
finds its way into newspapers
