grade Jerseys, but very few classed as

A hobo named Broderick made a
round of Washington street saloons
yesterday ordering drinks and subse-
quently requesting bartenders to make
a tab of the transaction. He was
thrown out of the Yellowstone and
was arrested by Marshal Hooker. AT
his trial he said he was a sea cook, had
worked on the Philadelphia, the Mo-
nadnock and the revenue cutter Bear.
He will not take any part in naval op-
erations against Spain within the next
thirty days.
Burt Roy, alias Willie Wildwood.
alias the Long Haired Kid, is no
longer long haired. The prisoners
in the county jail have been threaten
ing to denude him of his highly priced
locks ever since he was put in Jail.
But he stood ready at all times to de-
fend his hair with his life until few
days ago a barber was locked up
Then Roy wearied of his long and con-
slant vigil, made speech to the other
prisoners saying that he was going to
have his hair cut, having succeeded in
convincing his colleagues that they
could not cut it by force.

Reverend F. P Roberts, formerly
pastor of colored congregation in
this city, has set the town aflre by the
statement that he caught six catfish in
the river below town on Tuesday.
They ranged in length from one to two
feet. Nobody had ever seen catfish
in the Salt river and it seemed incred-
ible that the reverend gentleman
should have encountered them all IN
one school. Assuming that the state
ment is correct, it has been suggested
that the fish had come together to form
catfish association, patterned after
the Kentucky society, the Illinois as
ISOLATION and the Indiana and Kansas
organizations But Rev. Mr.. Roberts
fish story is not universally belleved.
1t almost caused a suspension OF bus1-
ness at the Fashion barber shop where
there was a variety of opinion regard
ing its reliability. Mr.. Shirley want
ed to see one of the fish. Mr.. Roberts
replied that they had been eaten. Then
Mr.. Shirley offered a quarter for a
head of one of them But the heads
were not available They had been
used in making soup. Mr.. Roberts
admitted that his story rested entirely
upon the word of a man named Ham
ilton, a member of his late flock, and
a bootblack of integrity. Beside this
! he said that skeptical persons if they
cared to make the trip to the fishing
grounds could see the holes in the
water made by pulling the fish out
After Mr.. Roberts went away Mr.. Shir-
| ley quieted the excitement among his
BARRIERS by saying: HE simply lied
about it. That's ALL
