A MODERN MIRACLE.
Which Shows, by the Way, How U.efu.
Monkey May Make Himself.

A party of old-timers were induloino
in "reminiscences yesterday, and they
gloated over their retrospection as only
old-timers can.
Il never shall forget a funny thing
that occurred way back in the seven
ties, when Bill Dickson kept his famous
public house on Eleventh street. His
place was the resort of all the high
rollers in town, and in those DAYS
everybody had money and the goose
hung high. Dickson was the same
genial joker he is now, and he used to
have lots Of fun with pet monkey he
called Felix. | don't know what kind
OF a monk he was, but he was one of
those fellows with a pouch on the side
OF his jaw. Felix would grab ANYTHING
you handed him, and if he could get it
in his mouth away it would 90 in his
pouch, and he was death on anything
that was bright and shiny, and coins
were his especial delight.
"One morning a couple of pretty
tough municipalities were lively
here in those days-came in. Each
had big head on, and their LIQUOR
taste had stalled on 'em. They con-
cluded little coffee and a sandwich
apiece would hit the desired spot. The
check called for 40 cents, and one of
the fellows took out two Mexican quar-
tiers to pay it. On his way to the bar
he stopped to fool with Felix, and be-
fore he knew it the monk had grabbed
the quarters and had 'em slowed away
In his pouch. The fellow was dazed
for minute, but he braced up, and,
approaching Dickson, remarked: Saw,
Bill. me n Pat got bite and the
check was 40 cents. ! had two quar-
tiers in me hand an stopped T. rattle

that about ten times dav. Come on
and pay your check and don't try 10
make me take any stock in such stuff
Wont you take me word for it?
All right. I'll get it back
Before he could be stopped he
walked back to where Felix sat grin
ming away and, sguaring off, smashed
him in the jaw. Over went the mon
key, and down on his hands and knees
went the tough, picking up something
on the floor. When Dickson reached
him his eyes and those of his partner,
Pat, were bullying out.
"Holy Gee, Bill he calculated.

tina a party named Baldwin bad disposed
of some blankets to w. L. Selvidge Of the
Lewistown hotel and upon investigation
found that they were his, though they had
been recently washed. Baldwin was i'm
mediately arrested on the charge of petit

Tuesday. He was found guilty and fined

A good sized crowd gathered at the fair

between Walkers Patsey and Carson's
Banjo, and it is safe to say that most of
them went away disappointed If not dis

the knowing ones might get action on their

and sentenced to two and a half years in

liberty he was met at the gate by Sheriff
Curtis, who had a warrant for his arrest,
also on the charge OF horse stealing. Ora

three years ago sixteen head OF horses were
