loon in town. The deputy sher-
if dropped into one o. 'nese
places and with the assistance
of the proprietor succeeded IN quletlns tne
disturbance. The man who started the
circus went out, but came back in a few
minutes and walked up to Penrose and the
proprietor, who we're standing with their
backs to the door. Neither OF them knew
of the mans presence until ne hred' he
had placed his revolver unaer fenrose's
arm, close to his body, and sent a ouilet
through into his lung. 1t is there yet,
though life was saved only after a long
struggle by the physicians. When a hard

Mr.. Humber, speaker pro tenn, makes a
yery good presiding Officer. He was some
what embarrassed for Il few days because
he was not familiar WITH the thousand and
one rules of legislative bodies. This en-
barrassment is fast wearing away and he
handles the business of the house in good
shape. His good nature and personal por-
ularity with the representatives, do much to
u%ntanple the parliamentary knots which
occur in this as we'll as all other legislative
bodies.
The resignation of the senator from Bea.
verhead was the sensation OF the week. o.
course it was a surprise, but IT it had beer
known that a resignation would occur Sen
ator Brown would have been the prophets
choice on general principles. The mar
who can tell Just what Brown will do in
five minutes time has more than human
vision. He is a queer combination of ode
/, traits. In some respects he is one of tn,
3 brightest men in the legislature and he hal
a long business head. Besides he is thor
oughly genial and pleasant, unless on,

it ID hard to tell when this will occur. III,

You must let Brown have his own way o
stop talking TO him. When he laughs 70,

good natured. He has seen both the rougl
and pleasant sides of life. Years ago b
