THE allegation that lady had
called n detective a liar has caused
her to bring suit for 100000 1t is
not easy to understand why so much
fuss should be made. Had the lady
been accused of asserting that the
detective was not a liar, her own
reputation for vcracity might have
been thus questioned, and real basis
laid for an action at law.

The Proprietor Of the Funny wheel
Warned.

There are half dozen chronic loaf
ers at the Union depot who are very
anxious to get their hands on GER
tain funny man who went East yes
sarday afternoon on the Texas and
Pacific train. They describe him as
having huge mustachios. so black as
to be mauifestly dyed, very small.
tsiukling black eyes. wen penciled
eyebrows and general appearances
suggestive OF the popular pictured I'M
pressions OF the devil. minus the tail
and the lightning.
Their Impressions are probably mag
nihed by their remarkable experience
at this queer persons hands, FOR GER
tainiy. ike the devil. he had tho
chained lightning.
He stood on the last platform OF the
last sleeper and called. first, passing
small boy 10 him. He showed this
small boy what he called his funny
wheel. 1t resembled a circular mouse
trap and WAS hltcbed with long.
small chain 10 the rear platform. He
told this curious smaIl boy all sorts
OF strange things that this funny
wheel could do II the small boy would
only 90 and get five other small boys
or men. II mattered not which.
The small boy hustled and returned
with even more volunteers. The man
entertained with curious talk about
his funny wheel He said that II six
men stuck each the right thumb in
each OF the six holes OF this funny
wheel. counted ten Ia chorus and
then placed his disengaged left thumb
against the right thumb or his neigh
Dor. the six men would see all sorts Of
strange sights.
His speech continued until the con-
ductor said An aboardw and then
the six volunteers, men and boys,
placed thelr right thumbs IN the six
holes Of the funny wheel" They
counted up to ten slowly In chorus.
while the locomotive bell was slanging:
and the train began To move Just as
they reached that figure and placed
the dlsengaEed left thumb against tho
right thumb Of his neighbor
Then this PARTY Of six volunteers
began 10 dance and howl and swore In
the vernucular something allied them.
The proprietor of the funny wheel
stood on the rear platform and fed out
cord tn the funny wheel al the train
went on. He stood there doing this,
and laughed "a moclying laugh. and yet
the six were unable 20 do aught. but
dance and howl and swear.
People didn't know what TO make Of
them ana a crowd gathered around
them. Finally when the train had
gone 200 feet and her pace was brisk
cning, the funny man must have
touched a button Tor the electrical
funny wheel dropped 10 the ground,
and the volunteers stared M each
other and Rlared at the laughing pro-
prictor or the funny wheel.
II Is no more than humane for this
paper TO say TO the funny man that
when he passes through Fort worth
again he remain inside, lie should not
venture on the platform. The eye
witness who relnted this TO the reporter
saw one Of the men stick Il coupling
pin ia his rear pocket a moment after
wards and the small hoy secreted a
stone In the corner Of his handiSer-
chief.
