OLD SOLDIERS PET COON
how He Distributed Bees at q Missouri
Social Event.

Social Event.
The old sailor, with the honest blue
Eyes and the steel-howed spectacles rest
ing on the tip OF his lose, drifted into
the Broken Shutter" once again the
other night and insinuated himself into
the conversation of the sports and all
nighters.
Say, n of you fellers ever have a
coon for a PETE" was the way he at
tracted attention 70 himself.
Get out" three or four of them cried;
''what are you giving us?"
That's straight" continued the old
man. and his mild blue eyes twinkled
merrily. Il mean a 'coon-a raccoon.
Why, gentlemen, a coon makes one of
the incest pets in the world. Of course,
its temper is a trifie uncertain and its
teeth are sharp. My coon used to make
raids on the neighbours chicken coop,
but for all that he was a good pet. He
was as playful as a kitten and as mis-
chievous as a monkey. l used to put
a few marbles in n basin of water, and
the coon would amuse himself by the
hour. And like sweets-weil, you Just
ought to have seen him. Thought as
much Of candy as a girl, and as for
honeywell, that raccoon would go
miles TO raid a beehive.
Il was living out in Missouri in those
days and one night the folks at the
house had a shucking-bee in the barn,
and after the corn-shucking was fin
ished they had a dance-a regular
country affair. Balance to the right;
partners all; birdie in the cage, and all
hands round you know, ~fellers; you've
all been there"
The old soldier was patting time now,
and as he gave out the dance calls in
regular country style the boys were at
a loss to know just what turn his story
would take.
All the boys and girls of the dees-
trick were there-girls n loose-necked
dresses and boys in tlippity-fiop trous-
ers, wide at the bottoms and baggy at
the knees.
We'll, my coon had been out a-hunt-
in a beehive, and he found one. All the
bees were at home, and they just lit
into Mr.. Coon. He remembered, then,
that he had business at home, and back
he come to our house, just a-fiyin'. and
about a bushel OF the busy little bees
a-followin' him. He came right into
the barn, where the dance was a-goin'
on. He jumped around, squallin' with
pain, and sheddin' about so bees at a
jump.
"WelI, that was when the fun COM
menced. The bees made for the boys
and girls; went down the girls necks
and up the boys trousers. They got
on the bald heads of the old folks. and
seemed TO think the hands of the fiddlers
were choice things 10 make honey. The
folks tried to get out of the door and
they damned up the door. The men
swore and the women screamed with
pain; and all the time the cocoon kept
running around sheddin' bees. Well,
it ended the dance and killed the COON.
l guess, f~ellers, that was a leetle bit the
liveliest shucking-bee that there ever
was in Observation-Disclosures Star.

meuts of counsel upon the sugar

Choate, in behalf of the claimants, and
by Solicitor-General Holmes Conrad for
the government.
In the course of his speech Mr..
Choate briefly paid his respects to
Comptroller Bowler, whose action
nccessitated the litigation and who
was an auditor of the argument
throughout. He was speaking of the
power Of congress to make the appro.
priatiol that had been withheld from
the claimants, contending that the
courts had no jurisdiction to review
hat action.
Why" he said, the cases are here
merely by accident. y big pebble was
found in the cogs OF the government

come here 20 get it removed so that
the wheels might be allowed to so

Choate referred to the appropriation
of money made by congress to La

BANDITS HOLD UP A TOWN.
six Masked Men Raid Carney and
Escape with 81 300.

Guthrie, o. t., Oct. 1s.-Two posses of
United States marshals are in hot pursuit
of the bold desperadoes who held up the
little town Of Carney. thirty miles east or
here, Saturday night. Two men supposed
to be members of the gang, stopped at
farm house this morning and demanded
food Their horses We're foam covered
and Looked as though they had been rid
den long way. Several deputies immc-
dldtely pursued them, but their capture
las no; yet been effected.
The story Of the hold-up at Carney
reads like the robberies Of the early days
In OlSluhoma. 1t was 10 o'clock when tue
town was attacked by the six bandits, all
\ heavily armed, masked and well mounted
The robbers entered with a flourish of
al ms and oaths, and at once attacked tn
score OF j ~. Fouts, the largest merchant
in the city. Before entering the town, the
bandits cut the telephone wires between
Carney and Chandler, in order to prevent
in:trfertnce with their evidently pre-ar-
ranged plans.
Carney is a town of 300 people and con-
tains a general merchandise store, hotel.
postofice, blacksmith shop, stables and
dwelling houses. Only F@uts and his son
we're in the store when the robbers rushed
in and drew their guns on them. The
chief Of the outlaws demanded that Fouts
open his safe. He quickly complied and
handed over $500 IN cash to the bandits.
Two OF the robbers then bound and
gagged Fouts and his son and carried
them two miles out of town.
Meanwhile the other robbers attacked
the hotel and postoffice, but got nothing
In the latter place. In the hotel three
drummers and two citizens were relieved
