They Are Now Repaired and Beautif1ed
While You Wait.
1t is no secret that noses can now
be modified according to the taste of the
owners. The European nose doctor
achieves his results by means of nose
machine which is worn for long PEE
Rod, and which usually moids the
framework and muscles of the feature
into the desired shape. The American
dermatologist takes u more expeditions
and daring way. He will remove the
hump" Of a Roman nose almost pain
lessly in from one-quarter to three
quarters of an hour. The patient lies
back in the chair, local anaesthetic
sprayed on the spot deadens the nerves
of sensation, short incison with q
keen blade is made lengthwise down tho
nose, and the skin is carefully laid back.
Then the surgeon cuts away part of
the cartilage which makes the hump,
or grinds off part of the bone with an
electric burr, such as dentists use, in
order to make the line of the nose
straight. Meanwhile the patient feels
no pain, though conscious of everything
tndC Is going on. ne edSeS ol tlo
skin are then brought together and
matched perfectly, SO that there Willie
no scar. An adhesive plaster is ap-
piled, and when the plasteris removed,
in few days, there is no sign Of "
wound. When "tip-tilted" nose is q
tr;fe too pert, the surgeon begins lower
down, a triangular section is cut from
the cartilage between the nostrils, and
then with two OF three stitches the
edges are brought together, and the
rctrousse tip of the nose is thus brought
down to its proper aesthetic position
and held there. Wide, fiat noses are cor
rected in similar style, the wedge
shaped piece of flesh being removed
from the sides of the faring nostrils.

Walton was all helpfulness and sym
pathy. His brother, the conductor, had
planned to send his horse to the Wal
ton barn at ten that night. and ''Wal"
was to ride cross country to friends
in Barksdale county, leave the horse
there, and be at the point where the rail
way crossed the country road at 1880,
when the "Owl" would stop and take
him on the Luggage car-unless some
of Parmelee's spies or deputies were
aboard. There would be no trouble at
the capital, where the Owl often waited
an hour for the express. The engi-
neer would slow up just east of town.
Walton would drop off in the darkness
and make his way around to the west
by brisk tramp of a couple of miles,
and there be taken on again about 1880
a. m. and jostled away to the river. Once
there, all the sheriff's posses in the
south couldn't find him. Walton
promptly urged that Floyd gowith him.
Rasmus was routed out from slumber
in the barn and sent away with mes
sages to Col. Scroggs and "Cousin Bart"
and then the voice of Kate was heard,

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 10.-The vest
bound Santa Fe train due at Los An
geles at 1880 Monday night was held up
and robbed by two masked men near
Nelson, a small station about six miles
east of Peach Springs, a. r., about ten
O'Clock. One of the robbers was killed
by the express messenger. The robbers
stopped the train by signal, and as the
engineer stepped out of the cab to ascer-
tain the cause of the trouble, an armed
masked man commanded him to cut
the engine and run ahead quarter Of q
mile, which he did. The robbers then
turned their attention to the mail car,
their command to open the door being
complied with. One robber entered the
car and commenced picking up loose
registered packages. The other started
for the express car, but Messenger Sum-
mers quickly opened the door, and, with
extraordinary GOODNESS, shot the out
law dead. The other man then escaped,
taking with him few registered pack
ages. The dead robber was taken to
Peach Springs, but has not yet been
identified.

o'clock AT Nelson Indian scouts have

hopeful of soon capturing him. The
trail is clear and easily found, as the
man is riding one horse and leading an
other. He has started northward from
the railroad towards Grand canyon,
point situated about 30 miles north of
Kingman. The body of the robberw who
was killed during the hold-up is still
at Peach Springs and as yet unidenti-
fled. The deceased was a young man
OF slender build, about six feet in height
and Of light complexion. From his
dress he was evidently a cowboy. There
was nothing found on his person that
would lead to his Identification. 1t is
thought, however. that he was one of

operating in the northern part of this

Oakland (Cal.) In Revolt Against Miss
Richs Cats, Dogs, Birds and Goats.
One hundred canaries, thirty dogs,
fifteen goats, half dozen parrots, one
horse, one COW, twenty-five cats, fifty
chickens, many ducks, and a few tur-
keys, all raised on ffty-foot lot in
Temescal, Oakland, CAL, got Mary Rich
in trouble in Justice Cliffs court. Miss
Rich lives on Lusl street, where she
owns a two-story house. She persis is
in keeping menagerie of pets that has
angered the ncighborhood. William
Vonderhelt swore out warrant, in
which he charged the woman, who is
Sc years old, with misdemeanor forhav
ing kept that amount of live stock on
such narrow premises.
Constable Kock, who lives in Temes-
cal, was sent to serve the warrant. He
did not calculate upon the thirty dogs
or the fifteen goats, to say nothing OF
the cow or the horse. Somehow these
animals did not respect the ma iesty of
the law, and the constable's badge did
not awe them. The constable made a
descent upon the Rich residence. There
came 80 yelps from 30 throats, and is
beats from Is goats, and all the ami.
mails came around the corner of the
house.
There are some people in Temescal
today who will swear that they saw the
airship sailing over the Rich residence
early that morning, and that it had a
headlighton as bright as the constable's
star. Anyway, when the consta BILE
came down hehad to tie the. goats to the
fence and fight his way through the
dogs before he secured his prisoner.
Miss Rich told Justice Cliff that she
made her living by raising these pets
for sale; that they Were all animals Of
high degree; that even her goats were
rot ordinary tin-can artists-they lived
solely upon the neighborhood washing
She was allowed to go upon her own
rccognizance until the next morning.

A Sensible View.

The governor Of Nevada, in signing
the bill making glove contests legal in
that State, voiced the sentiments Of a
large majority Of the people. Whether
prize fighting be brutal and immoral,
it Is not Jul purpose to discuss at tn is
time. The Governor takes the ground
that scientific contests with gloves arc
less demoralizlng to society and less
dangerous to life and limb than f,ot-
ball games. In this opinion a large
proportion Of the people will heartily
coincide. "There is absolutely moth
ing cruel, there lie absolutely nothing
~demoraliziDg in a well-conducted
glove contest. There is absolutely
nothing connected with it az a matter Of
strength, skill and science, that would
debar any good woman from witness
ing it, whose nerves can stand the un-
epeakable brutality of a football
match. 1.-THE rowdy East delights in
