principle that distance lends enchant-
ment." The only delicate clrcum-
stance about this matter is, that our
''devil' was one among the serenaders.

that end. He applied caustlc TO some
of the best horses of that Vicinity, thus
producing an irritating swelling and
indicating severe stage of kidney dis
ease. But it was not long until the
Kiowa people got on to his racket and
the villain was soon brought into con-
tact with the strong arm of the law,

promptly as it no doubt has by this
time. Mr.. Beals informs us that the
citizens of Kiowa are very indignant
and that there was strong talk of run

they concluded to bring him to trial as
