SOMERSETS SONG.

1t Was Not of the Sirenic Quality, and
Nearly Led to serious Results.
A negro named Somerset sang song
in the Railroad saloon at Third and Z
streets about 8 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, and he sang it in such a way as to
arouse all that was savage. in the breast
of Gus Burnett, the bartender.
Burnett asked the blackbird to cease
his matutinal warble, but Somerset
seemed to be too much in love with his
own voice to heed the warning, so ne got
a crack on the head. This effort was
lost upon him, as he did not feel it, Then
the barkeeper fired a shot, it is said. into
the air, and the songbird folded up his
tongue and quit.
Had Somerset not 'tumbled" to the
pistols warning, there is no telling what
the barkeeper's wrath might have led
him to do.
