A GREEN TEXAN.

Washington Star: The Texas judge
was giving uhe Star reporter a few wild
steers, so to speak. on the manners and
customs Of the people of his greatest
and second to none state in the glorious
galaxy of the Union, or words to that
effect. And the reporter was observing
at the same time how unlike the judge
was in this respect to any and all
Texans he had met.

judge, with proper judicial dignity,

ram had a twang to his speech, a good
deal like an Indiana Yankee, when he
first came TO this county, but the Texas
climate softened some of its ANGULAR
ties, so that at the last we did not
care where he came from, and Hiram
for some reason never told u.s. The
things that Hiram did in the way of
honesty were too numerous to mention,
and his simplicity of character was
our citizens sold him farm for $500
that nobody in the county would dhave at
any price. Hiram, however, never
complained, and he managed somehow
to make a living on his farm, which
some of our people could not do on bet
ter ones He had also managed some
how to have a little money in bank,

it was not considered safe toward the
last to monkey with Hiram in a horse
trade. Still every now and then he
would do a fool thing, and the next
round some of our best men would be

THE CuTY CnuNCuI.

At the meeting of the city council last
night, the city attorney reported that
the reason for postponing the case OF
G. J. Marsh VS.. Ogden city was on ac-
count of affidavits filed by the de-
PENDANT. This is a noted water case,
involving $1,000.
The attorney also reported that the
case of c. Q. Hills VS.. Ogden had been
decided in favor of the city. The ques-
ton involved was the right of the city
to invalidate it's own warrants.
The recorder and auditor filed reports
showing the total receipts for three
months were 1920, the total expendi-
lures S37,126.27. On September 80 there
was an overdraft of S91.760, with 81, 046
in the sinking fund, 1888 in the tax
sale fund.

Hiram would be found wide awake
.'One day Hiram was in the sheriff's
office paying his taxes, and he insisted
that it wasn't justice to the taxpayers
of the county that he should pay taxes
on his farm, which was assessed at
only $3.50. He said it ought to be $500,
at least, and the sheriff began to think
Hiram had another one of his fits and
the next thing he knew he would have
to have trustee appointed to look out
for him. However, Hiram prevailed
upon him to use his good offices in hav-
ing the proper figures put on the farm,
and Hiram. was greatly comforted when
he was informed that next year his
taxes would be on the increased valu-

business, smiling, and the sheriff met
him next day, and in small horse and
cattle trade Hiram came out a pair
of mules ahead, and the sheriff didn't
know what hurt him. But he thought
he would get in on Hiram before ne had
recovered from his ut in the cause of
justice. For five or six months Hiram
went along about as usual, and the
neighbors didn't notice anything pecu-

How n Number of Them Went on an
ImprOmptu Hunt.
The dogs of Labrador are not only
most useful as draught animals, but for
| hunting as we'll A writer in Forest
and Stream, who mas spent several sea-
/ sons IN Labrador, relates a rather
! thrilling experience with team of
/ these dogs, who, he says, trot along
ccutentedly enough SO long as there is
no game in sight, but the moment they
scent game they seem to conclude that
dragging a sled is for them merely a
side issue-that their actual mission in
life is to go after the game whenever
it is in range. He says.
"A thaW had been followed by a
frost, and the snow covering the ice on
the lakes was frozen hard, so four of
our party got on the sleigh to have a
final drive. They started in great giee,
and just as they rounded the first point
they saw d fine young caribou buck
about 500 yards ahead. AS soon as
the dogs saw it they gave a yelp like
a pack of wolves and STARTED like an
arrow from a how AFTER the caribou,
which looked round on hearing the
yelp, saw its pursuers, flew over the
ice, keeping in the middle of the lake.
one Of the party was thrown off vio-
lently and slid a long way on the hard
snow before he could pull up, feeling
red-hot from the friction and gazing
wistfully after his fast-disappearing
comrades, who chung to tine sleigh like
grim death and enjoyed this novel
hunt OF course there was not the
slightest chance of their catching the
animal, which, instead OF making for
the bush on the nearest shore, held on
in the middle of the lake, right UP 10
the end, where ii took to the woods.
The lmpromptu hunters soon found
themselves in difficulty, for it was
impossible TO stop the dogs, who could
not realize that they had a sleigh be-
hind them with passengers. The driver
tried in vain to stop them, and there
was every probability Of broken limbs
or necks when they would strike the
bush. However, they soon made up
their minds and dropped off one by one,
rolling over ana over in the snow, or
sliding some distance away, with
much damage to their neither garments
and much abrasion of the cuticle
Meanwhile the dogs, relieved of the
weight, rushed after the deer, and, en-
tering the woods, got tangled up among
the trees and, as usual on such occa-
slons, wound up with a free fight
among themselves. After extricating
them, the party re-embarked and drove
quietly back to the house, where they
repaired damages, related their adVen-
ture and wrote it down in the clubs
log book.

PECULIAR CASE
4 Man Who Has Long Carried Bui
let In His Skull.

A Santa Rosa, Cal, dispatch says: a
peculiar case was begun in the Super
ior court here today by Fred Misee. It
is for the purpose of having his brother,
John Misee, who is now in an insane
asylum, declared sane.
John AIisee enjoys the distinction of
being the only man in this part of the
state who wears a large-sized bullet
in his head, and he has enjoyed that
distinction for two years Two years
ago he became tired of life, and, TAX
ing a 44-calibre revolver, he placed it
within a few inches of his forehead
and fred. The ball made a hole al
most as big as the end of a mans
thumb, and why it did not kill him is
a mystery to medical men here.
He was laid up a few weeks, but
finally surprised his old companions by
appearing among them. The physicians
did not probe for the ball, fearing that
they would strike the brain, and so it
has never been disturbed. 1t was their
belief that the cartridge was not a
very strong one, and that after it pen
etrated the skull the ball dropped down
betW zen the brain and the skull About
a year ago he showed signs of insan-
ity, and when he was examined the
physicians asclibed his condition TO the
presence Of the bullet so near his brain.
Now it is claimed that he is we'll again,
and he win have his hearing Novem-

barns and fences, and he mist have
wasted as much as "a improving the
looks of things. Then one day a tidy
sort of man came to the SherifS's Of
flee with Hiram. and they looked over
the books. and the stranger seemed to
be satisfied with what he saw and
hadn't a word to say to anybody. A
week later he came around again, and
this time Hiram came to draw I'D the
deeds and transfer the property to the
stranger, the price being $4,000 for the
farm as it stood, in cash. 1t was only
$500 above the assessed valuation, and
the stranger thought ne was getting a
snap. 1 never said a. word, for Hiram
had given me a $50 fee, and it wasn't
my place to talk. A day after the new
man took possession Hiram left the
county, and the stranger told the
sheriff in confidence that he had known
Hiram back in Indiana, and he was
always considered just a little slack
twisted, and the sheriff grinned and
called the attention of the stranger to
the fact that Hiram HOoten had in
creased the taxable value of that farm
from $3.50 to 81, 500 for nothing on earth
but simple justice.
