Judge Kent once in n very sensible
ard summary fashion disposed Of a quib.

the trial showed that it consisted in cut.
ting a hole through q tent in which sov.
eral persons were sleeping and then in
Producing his heHd and urn through the
hole and Abstracting various articles Of
value.
1t was claimed by prisoners counsel
that inasTnuch as he never actually en-
tered the tent with his whole body hs
had not committed the offense charged
and must therefore lie acquitted.
Tho judge in reply to this plea told
the jury that IL they were not satisfied
that the whole man was involved in tho
crime they might bring in a verdict 81
guilty against 10 much OF him as wal
thus involved.
The jury, sitter a brief consultation,
found the right urn, the right sbonldeI
and the head Of tho prisoner guilty Of
the Ofionse of burglary.
The judge therefore sentenced the
right arm the right shoulder aud head
to imprisonment with hard labor in the
state prison for two years. Ieniarkina

HIS A Joke.
The DnnbuTy News Man Was n PhiIanthrO-
pist as Well as a Humorist.

The Dnnbury News Man Was n PhilanthrO-
pist as Well as "a Humorist.
The Danbury News man made fun
almost everywhere and all the time to
the end of his life. He was inst as funny
in his Office and at home as he ever was
Ia the funniest copy of his newspaper. It
was quiet. unexpected, quaint, homelike
funmaking on his part, with nothing
strained or pedantic or prctentious-as
natural and spontaneous as q sunbeam
or the ripping of hillside brook. Like
sunshine, too, his jollity cheered, warm
ed. delighted every one and wounded
none. Everybody was his friend. and he
was everywhere beloved. He was the
life and light of every gathering, but was
never forward or obtrusive.
He was also a philantbropist. Every
year he gave away a small fortune to the
unfortunate and unhappy. to Migrants
and the most notorious tramps and beats.
Every tramp who drifted into Danbury
wandered into Bailey's Office eventually,
and mono ever failed 20 get a pecuniary
lift there to help him on his thorny path

apparently had lodged IN his larynx and
helped to produce sounds Of a most nm
earthly character, and q miller who had
five low notes, and only Eve, which had

90 miles from Spokane, on the Spokane

Lewis and wife came 20 the Lake and
instituted q series Of revival meetings.
Lewis proved to be a fluent speaker and
captured his audience. He was energetic
and enthusiastic andinspired 10 his hear
ers q wonderful degree Of confidence.
When he had his audience thoroughly
aroused, among other things he stated
one evening that he possessed supernatu-
raj power. He claimed to be q specially
ordained apostle Of God and had come
into the community to work miracles
and save souls. Tho meetings were con-
Quoted In the schoOlhoure, and while he

element in the community, believing him

hgious meeting. which resulted In his
arrest, Trial and conviction. Being una

Jail at Colville. he now lies i'll ut Loon

He declared that no was empowered
by God to heal the sick. cast out devils
and raise the dead. He secured 10 or 20
converts, who went through a singular
g%ymnastic performance in hissoul cleans
ing process. They were required to die
a spiritual death, lying upon their backs
On the floor, closing their eyes and pass
ing into a trance.
Before they entered the Spirit land
Lewis reminded the converts that it was
easier for n camel to pass through the
eye Of a needle than for n rich man to
enter the kingdom Of heaven, where
upon be required them to surrender to
him their pocketbooks, rings, watches,
pins, iewelry and valuables Of every de-
scription. At this juncture oil who re-
fused to accept the faith were excluded
from the room.

wrought up over the affair, and feeling
is divided.-Spokane Cor. San Francisco

helping a pretty girl into a yacht gig,
underwent some strange vicissItudcs.
The picture, as we are told. was exhib-

Beers could not have produced such
elaborateness of finish and minutenes1

this Infamous assertion" The head Of
the young yachtswoman had been spe-

his critics to scratch the heud out and
chemically destroy the cnlors down to
the white canvas. and should there be
found any trace Of a photograph he
pledged himself to pay over Ct, 600. On
the other hand, should it be shown that
the picture owed its art to the sole agen-
cy of brush aud pencil. then his critics
were to pay u like sun to his pet homo

tuition.
Needless TO say, the challenge WINS not

the picture was still in the gallery, the
