Bob Greenfelow'S Sketches" make no
protentions to claSsicality, they do not
appeal to a classical public. But such
as they are, they cannot fail to excite
hearty laugh in readers, who have a re-
fish for natural unSophistcated fun.
There are eleven sketches, all humorous
and imaginative; some fanciful and eX-
travagant. But the reader, who dips in
to anyone of them, will not be satisfied to
close the book till the end be reached.
To the stiff, solemn, metaphysical
gentlemen, who delights in frOwning, l
would say of this book: Don't look into it;
it is not meant for you. To the plain, mat
ter of fact, unpretentiouS mind. | would
say: When you are in the dumps, disgust
ed with life's treatment of you, or with
your treatment of life, read one of these
sketches and you will regain your cheer
fulness and see things as they are.

A MYs rEt,IOUs AFFAIR.
A Sensation Caused by the Report
of Pistol. No Glue to the Cause
or tn Who + ire the Shot

About o'clock last night large num-
| Der OF people were startled by the report
of pistol, coming from the direction of
RiSche's theatre. Everybody rushed to
CampbelPs grocery store in the Brady
| building To ascertain what was up, but
those gentlemen knew nothing, and to
satisfy their own curiosity, went around
in the alley to see II anyone was there,
killed or wounded. The only person seen
was Mr. Ernest Rische. Mr.. Rische was ig-
| nOrant of of the affair and inquired IL any
one was hurt. A few minutes afterwards
he entered the store and made the same
inquiry, and then disappeared through
the rear door. This morning he was at
the saloon, but only remained few
minutes.
Dan Standard, man who works at the
saloon, said he was standing In the door
which leads into the saloon, when the
shot was fired and he rushed into the
opera house to see what was the matter.
As he entered he saw Mr.. Rische stand
ing in the door that opens into the house
from the box office. Mr. Rische asked
him II ary one was hurt and then with
drew intO the office, He never saw
Mr.. Rtsche after that until this morning,
when he entered the saloon.
In the wall of the Brady building there
Is hole, seemingly made by bullet, but
Is trifie too large and too straight to
have entered unless the party shooting
had stood directly in front of the wall.
1t was rumored on the streets last night
that w. G. Coffee, the well known in
surance man, had committed suicide, but
he was seen this morning by LIGHT
man, arranging for big badger fight, and
upon being questioned about the affair
said that he was not at his Office after
O'Clock yesterday.
There is a mystery connected with the
affair which the city detectives are at
work trying to solve.
