How They Found the Beer.

Down on the Plains there are some
folks who are having the laugh on some
other folks. There was going to be party
on Water street and the management
had sent away for barrel of beer When
the beer arrived in the city, it was taken
to a building that sets near the center of
the business part of that street. The
party was to be held last night, and, yes
terday morning. the committee of ar
Engagements went to the storehouse after
their beer, to put it on tap at the house
where the party was to be held. But the
beer was gone, and hearts were sad and
things looked dark and drear for the
evening. Finally it got nOsed about the
street that the beer had been stolen and
that the managers would pay Il liberal
reward for it's return. A party of three
young fellows who thought they could
find it. anyway they said they could,
started for the woods to hunt the con-
traband down. 1t just then occurred to
the parties who originally owned the
bee, that the young men struck a clew
pretty soon after taking the case, and so
they We're followed. Hardly had the
young detectives entered the woods be-
fore they began calling to someone, Hi.
there. bring it this way and. sure
enough, someone brought out the beer.
The owners of the grog then declined to
pay the reward. saying the young men
had stolen the beer and had taken advan-
tage of them. Now the ones who stole
the beer are sorry that they did not drink
it. If the case ever reaches the court,
some interesting developments may be
brought out

extraordinary mishap, one evening
quite recently. The sewer excavations
on lower Water street had been prop

placed in such a way that dark
shadow was thrown where danger
really existed. 1t is enough to state
that the aforesaid citizen measured the
depth of the sewer-head down. and
that the moments of apparent soliloquy
were as nothing compared with the
deep inward feeling of dire remorse,
