ton in a Gambling House.
A crowd of people witnessed a Singh
lar scene here the other night, in
which a mans life was saved after as
novel fashion as ever any writer of
fiction has evolved. Rafe Shaffer. a
well-knOwn sporting man, was seated
in a gambling saloon talking to a
friend, who had only lately come here
from the east. Shaffer was telling his
companion of a quarrel that he had
with arOtner man about town. whom
he suspected OF being about to make
an attempt ON his life.
AS he was speaking the eastern man
suddenly interrupted him with the
question:
"Say, Shatfer, do you remember your
old business as a telegraph OPERATOR"
Shaffer, who it seems. had followed
this trade before going west, looked
surprised, but answered that he did.
''Well, you know it's very easy
thing forgotten. Now, / will bet you
can't tell me what l am going to tick
out here on this table"
The eastern man then took Il pencil
from his pocket and began to tick off
a message, which, as he finished.
caused Shaffer to spring hastily from
his seat, drawing as he did so re-
volver from his pocket. which he thrust
almost in the face of a man who had
been standing in the door of a saloon,
and who had just discovered him with
his pistol. The two men glared at each
other, and then Shaffer said calmly:
Better put up that weapon, Smith,
unless you want to shoot it out with
me here. have got the droD on you
as much as you on me-"
Smith hesitated, and then replied that
he would put up his pistol if Shatfer

ton of mutual friends. Shaffer agreed
to the arbitration plan, as it seems
both men had their reasons for not
letting the cause of the bad blood be-
tween them be known to the public.

for the service he had rendered him.

A KENTUCKY KISS Is NICE.

At Keltner'S store. in the western
part of this county, last Thursday,
John Keith assaulted Sam Norris with
rocks and a knife, knocking him down
with the rock and citing a large cash
in his side with the knife. Norris, af-
ter he recovered, drew a large dirk
knife and ran after Keith until he be-
came exhausted from the loss of blood
and fell to the ground. The cause of
the fracas was that Norris met Keith's
sister in the road a short time before
and attempted to kiss her. She OBJ
jected to his osculatory demonstrations
however, made her escape and inform
ed her brother who was in the store.
Norris is not dangerously hurt and will
soon be well. Keith is a son Of Sam
Keith, who was killed by Porter Price.

to William the Conqueror. Her pub

Racine, Wis, and for ten years after
ward she taught in public schools.
She was married in 1861 to LyfOrd
Peavey, who shortly afterward left
his bride to enter the union army.
From the war he never returned. Be
ing left a soldiers widow, with a
daughter to care for, she entered into
business life with very successful re-
suits. She managed a book store for
eight years, selling out to enter news
paper work. For time she assisted
in the management of the Racine Ad-
vocate. selling out to buy the cuntrol
of the Shawano County Journal Her
reputation as evinced by many letters
from friends in Wisconsin sent to Col
orado during the campaign shows that
she was a capable business woman OF
high standard. She appears to be

servative, yet strong in her convlstlons

THE POLITE CONDUCTOR.

1t was the slack time of day and
there was only one passenger in the
west bound jefferson avenue car. He
was a sad-eyed man, who looked like
he might be widower or desired to
be one, AID he interested the conductor
to such an extent that he couldn't help
but watch him, and at the same time
pity him. A couple of minutes before
the car reached Woodward avenue he
beckoned to the conductor and he
fastened to him.

more than usually polite.
''Thank you" said the passenger,
and relapsed into his former state Of
sadness.
The conductor went back to his place
on the platform, and when the car
reached the far side of the street he
stopped it. The passenger, however,
appeared to be oblivious of the fact.
Excuse me-" said the conductor.
coming to him, here is where you get
off to go to the city hall.

said, without making a move.

Last summer Everett Mcneil made
an overland trip from his home at
Stoughton to New York city. Riding
on a horse as far as Akron, Ohio, his
pony'is back became sore and at that
place Mcneil sold him, made KNAPP
sack out of one of the saddle-bags
and finished the journey on foot. He
walked through the oil and gas region
of northwestern Pennsylvania, and
nearly straight across the northern
part of the state, through the great
forest and over the rough mountains.
