Last week a tale was told con-
corning scandal at Kenslngton. II
affords US much pleasure to be able
to state that the whole affair was
simply wiliuI, malicious, and un-
called for falsehood, without the
least particle OF foundation to stand
on. We have taken considerable
time to get at the exact facts in the
matter, and find that the story was
started in hatred, kept alive by NAL
ice, and has been completely demol-
ished by affidavita, strong and con.
vincing. Individuals who start such
tales, deserve the fate that in former
times was melted out to horse thieves

four aces, and remarked that he had
a good poker hand, the Nebraska
man said, discard all but three card
and will bet So 90 that / have thu
best hand" huff said, says the stock
man, land I'll raise you q twenty
Finally $4,000 was on the table, and
the hands showsd three aces in the
stockman's hand, and three clubs III
the other mans, who said the money
is mine, as three clubs beats thre'
aces" "Do you think a dntchman il
a geeses," says the stockman. Both
grabbed the pot, and when the wal
was over the stockman had his owl
money back and $500 more, a by
stander had q ten dollar william,
about twenty dollars wore torn up,
and the tin horn had what was left,
about $1,000. Rather raw work.
