INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY l."
TrucuIent Negro Passengers Subdusd by
Friend of the Con4uctor.

On the alley IL ros.d one evening a
trio OF negroes boarded southbound
train and proceeded il d WY 10 cap
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and DISTRACTED the prog
ress of people coming and gong out
at the different stations ana were in
elined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who ventured 10
criticise their conduct. One of them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnacious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them 10
take their seats the big fellow threat
ened all sorts of destruction to the
official, and defied him openly to lay
hands on him. says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The conductor passed to the next ear
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, Il "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about $40 pounds and was a giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darkies stood, grabbed
the big one. who was at least half foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him TO the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking up
at station the bOuncer threw the col
ored man clear over the gate and on 10
the platform without waiting for the
guard TO open the gate. The darlv
sprawled all over the platform and his
two companions skunk to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car The
train went on, the two remaining "ter-
rors" keeping very still.
After several stations had been passed
one of them spoke in subdued tones to
the other. All he said was: Dat sholy
was a strong man."

ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. 4. The state
game warden last night seized and de-
clared coufiscated to the state of Mime
sofa thirty tons of venison, which he
claimed was being illegally shipped ont
of the state via the Milwaukee road. 1t
was tagged to persons In Boston, New
York and Chicago.
The fines for the alleged illegal trans
portation of the game will reach some
where in the neighborhood of $4,000 to
$4,000.
Venison is now selling at Is cents a
pound and Il will be an easy matter for
the state to dispose of the $4,000 pounds
coafiscated for S10,S00. This is said to be
the largest seizure ever made at one time
In the United States.

chin whiskers entered, says the Chica-
go Chronicle
Good evening" said the politician.
"A nasty night" he added.
"Who is that?" queried one of the
other two men of the politician after
the man he had addressed as colonel
had gone out
"Why, don't you know him-Royal
George Davis?"
We'll, who is Royal George Davis,
anyway"
George R. Davis-don't know George
R.?"
What did he do?'
"Why, man, he was director general
OF the worlds fair!"
"Never heard Of him"
The politician looked at the man in
updisguised amazement. Come, buy
the cigars" was all he said.
And such is fame.

ed tnat he had been first shot, the bullet
going through his face and into his

a good stock of opium, tobacco and coal
on hand. Indications point to foul play
as marks on his body show that strug-
gle took place, but no knife or revolver

siderable money WAS found on his person

When the desperadCes had taken all
the money, they produced ropes and
bound hand and foot every one in the
