WANTS HIS REWARD.
An O0.et BuiswerlSy Arraigns Against
Debt Claim

q ucut biulms
Pottsyillo, Dec 14-In the case of Heuschel
& Co., of New York, against Adam Buis-
wesky. the West Coal street tailor arbitra-
tors were yesterday selected for an arbitra-
ton 60 be held in the Office Of NJ. NJ. Burke.
Esq in Shenandoah, on the 20th inst The
Wbitrators are John A Reilly, Jr. f. W,
shoemaker Esq, and Charles Radziewicg
The suit is "a sequel to the difficulty I'm
which Frank Green, the East Centre street
tailor became involved with Henschel & Co.
and J.. K Smith s Co.. cloth dealers, about
yearago
Az that time Green was charged with re-
moving and concealing "a large consignment
OF cloth just received from the sms named
10 appears that Buiswesky, who some time
before had been employed by Green and had
20 difficulty with him, knew where the goods
were concealed He contracted with the
ims named to designate the hiding place for
consideration and among the papers filed i'm
,he suit is the following
shenandoah Oct %. 1896
i promise 10 pay Adam Buiswesky the
. SUM OF 500 for information that will lead to
the recovery of the merchandise sold or in
voiced TO Frank Green of this place This
money to be paid only If the goods men-
toned in the invoice are recovered
'lsiguCd) WILLIAM GAEGER
'of Emil Ileuschel & Co.. Now York City"
Hen.obel S Co., have sued Buiswesky for
20 claim Of over $500 Tor cloth sold and he sets
up this agreement as part offset. One party
claims and the other denies the performance
of the agreement ON the part Of Buiswesky.
The latter was formerly represented by the
present Judge Koch, who has been succeeded
in the case by S. NJ. Entorline, Esq
There appears to be q warm time ahead for
some person connected with the case. 1t
would appear that Buiswesky has placed
himself in an unenviable light with Green
and it is alles ed that at the time of the Green
arrests in the fall of 1896 Buiswesky made a
dicker with both Of the New York firms,
promising each that he would not give infor-
nation to the other IL is further alleged
that he gave information to the otner 1t is
further alleged that be gave information to
both and that neither firm got the goods, al
tough the accounts between them and
Green have since been amicably adjusted.
The case is the first of its kind to come up
i'm tn county and is Of additional interest
from the fact that it brings to light the real
method by which the concealed good were
found At the time of their recovery it was
looked upon as clever piece Of detective
work.

A FALSE ALARM.

COME critter, who probably thirsts D to see us weltering in our gore, started the story the other day that we had received from Denver and were wearing shirt which buttoned be- hind. At two o'clock yesterday after noon q crowd of 30 men, headed by old Jim Hewson, entered the Kicker office in q solemn, earnest way, and we were invited to pull off our coat and vest As we did so, there was an ominous click click elickl as the guns were made ready to shoot the shirt off our back. A brief inyestiga- ton satisfied the crowd that we were still loyal to Giveadam Gulch and her idioms. Ours was an old-fashioned shirt, with pins in place of most of the buttons, and several old tears and rents repaired with our own darning-needle and twine. The crowd apologized and invited us out to drink, and the affair ended in good feeling all around. We have seen the shirt which buttons be- hind. We admire it, and would like one, but we are no jackrabbit. Give adam Guleh has set it's foot down on such innovations, and we don't propose to try any game of bluff. Fifty years hence, if alive, we may reach over our back to button our shirt, but we shall patiently wait for that time to come.

HE'S A HIIsTLER.

(ioRoNER STEVENS is fulfilling the C prediction we made when he was appointed to office. Last Wednesday he rode 12 miles, empaneled q jury, in- quested on a horse-thief, and had a verdict inside of three hours. It would have taken his predecessor at least one full day to accomplish the same work
 Last week, when the boys on Big Four Ranche lynehed q stranger Coroner Stevens had his report ready in 30 min- utes, and there wasn't superfuous word in it. Our county has struck the right man at last to fill the position, and MT. Stevens has only to keep on as he has begun to win fame for him. self. The business-lilee manner in
 which he discovered that the man over at Big Four Ranche had been hung by the neck instead of shot through the heart was revelation to the loolers-on.

 Wall, now, Jonas White is tellin' around that I stole ham from his smokehouse five y'ars ago, and I want him arrested and sent to states prison befo' to-morrer night
 And so it went" continued the old man, as he sadly shook his head. Ut jest seemed as if everybody wanted a lawsuit with everybody else, and every body expected me to be on his side It made 'em all mad because I wouldn't t be, and befo' I got my papers thar wasn't man or woman around these yere parts who'd bow to me if I met em on the road. When the papers final ly cum the old woman looks al 'em and sez:

 And that's what I did, !" said the old man, "aAd I hain't never dun no mo sighin' to be great man. I reckon I wasn't bon fur a great man, but only to hunt coons and 'possums and be on good terms with all the folks around" :"

THE other day, when MT. Wharton,
 of Chicago, left Gi.eadam Gulch for Grass Valley after a stop of three days, we warned him that the people over there were peculiar lot, and that he must not carry his handkerchief in his pistol pocket. He promised to heed our admonition, but forgot all about it within half an hour. He reached Grass Valley all right and was introduced to all the prominent citizens, but un- fortunately for him was drawn into a political discussion on the street. While airing his views on the tariff question he reached back for his hand- kerchief, but before his fingers had clutched it, he received a bullet in the shoulder from the man he was arguing wi%~~ It was all owing to his absent mindedness, as he cheerfully admits, and though the wound is painful one, Mr. Wharton Is thankful that he still lives. Any stranger reaching Grass Valley with a handkerchief in his hip pocket should either let it remain there or announce to the crowd:
 "Gentlemen, I am now about to throw my right hand behind me for the purpose of drawing my handkerchief, and trust there will be no shooting"
 Our grand and glorious west has it's peculiar customs and idioms, and such strangers as observe them seldom get into trouble of any sort.
