sensed Lansing and Gen. Cornelius b.
Nolan appeared for the prosecution. After
arguments on both Sides Judge Fleischer
granted a change Of venue to Judge Wood
mans court. Lawyer Miller then made a
plea for delay On the ground that one Of
the most important witnesses for the de-
Tense was sick and it would take him q
long time to get we'll.
At this juncture the door OF Judge
Flsischer's court opened and in walked the
alleged sick witness. LansinR's lawyer
looked at the man for q second or two.
Then he rushed at the newcomer With 4
string Of sxpletives that lasted until the
lawyer WAS ont Of breath. Judge Fleisher
and the county attorney were ready to
burst ont laughing, but rsfrAined out of
consideration for Lawyer Miller's feelings.
The Judge also RETAINED from imposing =
fine for contempt Of court, a. he appre.
eiatsd the situation fully.
County Attorney Nolan had only this to
say:
..'The case goes on trial tomorrow"

Sheriff Quialey pulled out = cold deck,
which was loaded for suckers. The sheriff
handed the dock over to Guard Brown and
at the same time made a grab at Furay's
chips. Furay was distracted by this move
mont and while protecting his chips Brown
changed the decks. He dealt four aces and
a deuce to Furay and four aces and q king
to = milkman who was sitting opposite.
Betting ran high. Furay did not have
chips enough to stack up to the milkman's
pile, but managed to steal enough from
Quigley to make things even.
II guess you won't object to my raking
these in,'' said Furay, laying down his four
aces.
"Yss / will" said the milkman, as he laid
four more ACES beside them, and . king to

Furay says he will never play poker in
Door Lodge again.

Office. In order to reduce the dislocation,
the muscles having become rigid from pain,
the doctor administered ether. When
about half under the influence the patient
became very violent and threw his hands

landed on the DOCTORS mouth in a way to
make the alderman see stars. He kept his
temper, however, and went on with his
work until the man was completely under

was reduced. DR.. Steele does not know the
mans name. He says his mouth hurt too
bad to ask.

house. George Cooper ia the star. Man

occurred last year while little Miss Cooper
was On the road. They happened to meet
