Two news paper reporters, one of a local journal and the other of an outside paper. met at Justice Kincaid's office and engaged in debate upon the verdict. One said it was not warranted by the facts. The other said the office represented by the traducer of the verdict was a black mailing emporium. Then each said the other was a liar, whereupOn persons who knew them both said that the accusations were super guous. that the propositions con- tained therein were axioms like the utterances of the late Grover Cleve- land, in that they presented noth- ing new.

Chief Beck hurried from the room to hitch up the patrol horse to haul the bodies to the morgue and Jus tice Kincaid began rummaging among his blanks for snbpoenas for coroner jurymen.-Republican.

If a man has any interest in his posthumOus fame, he would remain poor. It's very thin compensation for poverty, but it's better than nOne.- Gazette.
