ORIGIN OF THE CIGAR.

How IL Was First Introduced Into Civlliza-
ton and How IL Ii Used In Various
Countries.
The first cigars made by the Spaniards
were of tobacco loosely rolled and held
together by the silken lining OF corn
shucks and always with straw run
ming through the center, to be with
drawn before smoking, SO as to secure
o good draught These were first in
troduced into England in 1857 by tho
son OF Spanish grandee visit.n Lon
don. and from there spread through all
Europe. This is the history of the birth
of the cigar into civilization, but We
must loo, considerable further back to
find the first records. and then can find
no origin, but only data Of its bong in
existence.
The cigar OF the native Bornean,
living In the Indian archipelago. is
back roll three inches long, tapering to
either end. tho outer leaf covered with
a network OF gray veins like cobweh
These might be aptly called dude
killers" They were smoked by the
old Dyaks, and tho smoke inhaled to
intox cation. while at the wedd ngs the
bride and groom held cigars in the r
hands and after their heads were
knocked together three tmea zach
placed the cigar between the lips Of the
other and the ceremony was ended
When the Patagonian smokes to real
" enjoy himself he g YES q smoking
party. All assemble in a hut seating
themselves in acrcle, with bowl Of
water in the center, A cigar is lighted
and passed around. each one drawing
into his lungs as much smoke as possi-
BILE and retaining it as long as he can,
lying fat on bis face, with his curious
cloak thrown over his head. As each
expels the smoke he grOans and Rrunts,
until perfect babel reigns. Then q
fresh cigar is lit and as 1t passes around
quiet comes again. After the third
cigar each smoker sits quietly for few
minutes, takes drink at the bowl and
silently files out Religion is supposed
to form the basis OF this custom.-Prov-

and his father one time was confined to
bed for week owing to the injuries
thus inflicted. GAM once told witness
that he had nearly killed an officer with
knife in small town in the state. and
1T cost him sGU0 to get out of trouble.
Two and half years ago witness was
called to a house of ill-fame to arrest
GAM, who had terrOriZed all the in
mates. He had heavy revolver in his
outer pocket, and had his hand OH it
when put under arrest. His character
was Infamous. and he was known to the
police as desperate who would not
hesitate to use q knife or slung- shot.
He had been out of the refOrmatory on
parole, having been sent there for
burglary for a term of five years. De-
tective Gruber also gave CAM a bad
character, and six weeks ago, while he
was under arrest. he had said to wit
ness: Il will do up any - of A.
OF an officer who ever tries to ar
rest me.''
M. w. Sawyer also gave evidence as
to the resistance made by GAM when
arrested, and Officer Gibbons as to the
fight going on when he arrived in the
patr0l;wagOn, and the difficulty of tax
ing CAM to headquarters.
AT the close of the testimony Mayor
Smith fully Endorsed Officer Calvin on
his conduct, and eXOnerated him from
all charges preferred.

A REPLY TO GRIbBLE.
Judge Kelly's Answer to the
Complaint Against Him
by an Attorney.
The Conduct OF Mr.. Gribble
Viewed in an Unenyiable
Light.
Montgomery Initiates the
Court in the Mysteries OF
an Opium Joint.
And Is Acquitted of the
Charge Of Visiting Such a
Place.

John d. O'Brien and William Louis
Kelly Jr. have prepared the answer of
JudgeWilliam Louis Kelly in the action
against him brought by Edwin Gribble
for $4,000 alleged damages to his repu-
tati0n as a lawyer. In the answer
Judge Kelly denies all allegations of the
complaint not admitted i'll the answer.
1t is admitted that the defendant has
been judge of the Second judicial dis
trict court since March -, 1857. 1t is
also admitted that Gribble was admitted
to practice law prior to July is. 1890,
but denies that he was an attorney at
law i'll good standing, Or authorized to
practice law in courts of record in the
state between July 10, 1890, and April
20, 1891. The answer asserts that the
acts complained of by Gribble were of a
Judicial character and done in the
capacity of one of the judges of the dis
trict court and not otherwise. On Sept.
Is, 1890, at special term of the district
court Gribble had attempted to present
the cause of Gordon VS.. Gordon for
hearing by the defendant. The hearing
of the plaintiff was refused i'll the per
Torrance of the duty as Judge. but
without wrongful or malicious intent,
but with the pureSt of motives in open
court with the purpose of elevating and
purifying the practice of law by ex-
Guiding therefrOm. even though tenn
pOrarily, the plaintiff. who had before
that time been adjudged by Judge
Hooker, of the Fourth judicial district,
unworthy to hold and exercise the high
dignity of an attorney and counsellor
at-law. The answer sets Up the part that
Judge Frederick Hooker. sitting on the
district court bench in Minneapolis had
on July 10. 1S90,suspended Edwin Gribble
from practicing before that court until
the expiration of the October term,
1890, of the supreme court of appeals.
The order of suspension declared that
such course was pursued because Crib
bic had been guilty OF deceit and wilful
misconduct. Judge Hooker certified his
proceedings in the matter to the su-
preme court. which had the effect to
suspend him until April, 1891. Gribbie
applied TO the supreme court for an
order directing Judge Kelly TO show
cause why lie should not permit GribbIe
to practice law in his court. On Nov. l,
1890. the supreme court dismissed the
order to show cause. and the suspension
was in force until the end of the OctO-
Der term of the supreme court, which
was III April, 1891.
