"Good morning, Mr.. Sherman. This
Is a cold morning, haint it?''
That Is the greeting that officer Will
liam n. Sherman received from a regular
tenant of the Cove lands, at $3.50 this
morning. The speaker was a pleasant
faced man. apparently 55 or 90 years old,
grey haired, we'll spoken, of good ma
tured disposition, and remarkable
bright eye.
"Good morning." replied the officer,
"that's mighty good cigar you're smok-

them?"
"You bet your life their good, a regu-
lar two for a quarter. i don't smoke no
other kind. Have one?"

officer. The officer did not need TO light
the cigar to test the quality, for the
aroma sing from the one that the man
on the pile of lumber was smoking was
somewhat of judge of good cigars,
knew that the man was telling the
truth.
"How many have you got?''
sob! I.got enough TO last me all

"Welll Just show me how many you
have, won't you."
Then the man took from beneath a
board a box containing nearly 100.

"All right, my boy" said the old fell
low, and he began to gather up his
effects and started for the "cooler" on
Fountain street. Upon reaching the sta

ers, and his home was st. Marie Island.
Among his effects were found cigars, a
flask containing beer, Holy Bible, two
buttons. a ticket 10 the Welcome Mission,
but no cash. When asked where he got
the cigars and beer. he said he got them
IN a saloon on Fountain street. He was
also asked where he had eaten for the
last three or four days. He said that IL

Bouges saloon at 245, he found that the

Rodgers admitted that IL was he that
did the job, and said that he accom-

and removing a cellar wiudow, then
pulled down q partition in the cellar that
obstructed his passage into the portion
of the cellar where Bogue's whiskey,
brandy. gin and beer was stored, and
helded himself to all that he could hold,
and upon taking his departure, filled a
flask with beer, as he preferred that bev-
erage 10 any other.

Rev. Mr.. Gibson said: sit is mystery
to me how any man of Mr.. Deuprey's age

less talk, when he held in his hand the
life or death OF a fellow being.
1.-The issue now, according to Deu-
prey, is between Durant and myself. The
speech gives me the right to conclude
that Durant concurs in the accusation.
The accusation is in harmony with all the
actions OF the defense from the Begin
