A MIXED CASE.
Two Men Tell the Same, but Mighty
 Conflicting Stories.


 Conflicting Stories.
 Recorder Schwartz will have case to decide as perplexing as that famous biblical conundrum presented to King Solomon by two female claimants for possession of babe.
 Late last night there was a pistol shot and several shouts on lower First street. When the officers arrived in the vicinity they found curious situa- tion. Two men, one white and the other colored, were holding each other and calling for help.
 The white man, miner named J. Gilson. got a word of explanation in first. He said he was walking down the street when the colored individ ual jumped on him from behind and tried to rob him. The colored man named W. Gilmore, told precisely the same story except that he said he was going along the street when he was assaulted by the white man with an intent to com nit robbery. Each claimed that he had since been holding the other to prevent him from running away. The officers were unable to decide which story if either was correct and both men were accordingly locked up. The man who fired the alarming shots could not be found. Both prisoners said that he came up while the struggle was go- ing on and ordered them to separate after which he fired and then ran

PARASITIC HAIR.
Phenomenon Attending the Growth A. Ex-
planned by Scientific Men.

Phenomenon Attending the Growth Ex-
planned by Scientific Men,
,, All of the early writer's on the make
up of the human frame and its adorn-
ments invariably referred to the hair
as being an ''excrement," and most OF
them held that it was fed on sub
stances similar to itself. The odd no
tions of the early anatomists and
Psychologists, as well as the occult
philosophers, respecting the growth
and functions of the hair were the
basis of many old-time superstitions
regarding that constituent of tho
human body. The ancient philosophers
declared that the hair generated" in
the fuliginous parts of the blood" and
that it was ''exhaled by the heat Of
the body" and that it becomes firm
and fibrous on exposure TO the atmos-
phere," presuma bly, ID tho same. man-
rer that the fluid elected by the
spider becomes a web" as soon
ss the air strikes IL In modern
times, however, every idea respecting
the character and growth of hair
has changed The scientists now uni
versally agree that the hair properly
and truly lives and receives its nour-
ishment from the scalp and adjoining
tissues. 1t is true, however, thai they
take upon themselves the nature OF
parasitic plants
They grow. as vegetation does, and
each separate filament has a distinc.
life and economy. That they derive
their noutishment and owe their exist
ence TO the juices taken up from the
flesh and blood there IS 10 doub.
However. after all, IL cannot be that
this food is taken up from what shs
Psychologists term nutritious juices.
for we know that the hair will thrive
and live even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease IN many in
stances, in truth. the hair thr.res aud
