The hanging man, us We ugsested,
was Il fake, as far as being man is
concerned, but the inside history of il.
as told to us. develops another queer
tale. There is All old fellow up on the
creek, either man OF devil, who acct
IDENTITY killed his old shepherd dog and
not wishing to see his old friend con
signed to an ordinary grave Qeft lay
log Out). he thought he would show
proper respect to his friend, and at
the same time relieve the wants of
suffer- G humanity, 81 lie skinned the
dog. cut him up and distributed the
meat around among his neighbors as
mutton. Some of them ate of the dog
and others, becoming suspicious, threw
the meat away. Soon after this the
old fellows pony died, and in the mean
time, he having become avarlcious,
concluded to peddle the old horse opt
as fresh beef. One of the first places
he went to was Il neghbOI's where he
had left some of the mutton. The
neighbOr objected to the ''beef'', and
the old man finally told him that it
was his pony that he was selling, and
if the dog had not disagreed with him,
he did not think the horse would. The
story getting out so enrageG the COM
munity that they turned out and hung
the old man in effigy. We have no
hesitation in vOucEing for the truth of
the story, as we saw the man who told
us. So this is the truth of the yarn of
the man hanging to tripod up near
the Hold geman county line.

The ak has finally fallen and Judge
Vandivert and his district have been
violently severed. The blow fell late
last week when the governor affixed
his signature to the bill, and it now
only remains to publish in the official

completed. We are attached to the
district north of, with Andrews as
judge. He Is a populist, and those
whom we have interviewed. who know
the judge, speak very highly of him.

Mems and ladies' dancing slippers
at MARSH & BIDwELI's,

Tie Seaton resolution to resubmit
prohibition to a vote of the people,
came up in the house Tuesday after
noon, as a special order and was de-
Teated, the vote being pretty evenly
divided. The Estate Journal'' says
that SO populists and II republicans
were for, and 25 populists and 80 re-
publicans were against it. Mr.. Malin,
of this county, voted for the resolu-
ton. 1t is intended to bring up the
initiative and referendum bill, and if
it passes, an effort will be made to
resubmit the liquor question under
that law. Many who voted for the
senate resolution are favorable to pro-
lIibiti0n, but believe that the question
should again be. submltled to the peo-
pie.
