Cinnamon and was arrested. The pre-
liminary trial was held before Justice
Bean. After the testimony had all
been given, Mr.. Bean took down his
old copy of the revised statutes, and
for an hour or more pored over It's
pages. Finally he closed the book
with bang and turned to the prisoner
and said:
You are discharged; l have examin-
ed this book carefully, and there Is no
law In it against a white man killing a
Chinaman.'
There are innumerable other true
stories and incidents of Mr.. Beans
long career as dispenser of Law West
of the Pecos."
A pickpocket Is usually very shrewd
Individual who can be relied upon to
make the most of every opportunity
that presents itself. Half hundred
students of the medical department of
the Northwestern university had q
jollification last night, says Chicago
contemporary. They took possession
of an alley 81" train at Twenty-second
street, and held high jinks all the way
into town. In their own words they
| ''plsyed horse" with the other passen-
gers, and they thought themselves
very smart, indeed. But they were
not quite so smart rs they thought.
There was an old man abosrd-a nice
old man with q white mustache
and q silk hat-who beat
them at their own game. The
students are not saying much
about the affair this morning. The oc-
currence happened in the smOking-car.
AS the various stations we're reached
and passengers tried to get out of the
car the students assisted. Pass him
along" was the cry, and the unfortu-
nate passenger was lifted bodily over
the heads of the students, tossed in the
air and finally thrown out upon the
platform. The guards told the unruly
students to cease their rough behavior
or leave the train, but the admonitiOus
fell on unfruitful ground. The fun
grew more and more hilarious until
| Adams-st, was reached. AT this point
the old man with the white mus
tache got up to leave. He was in the
extreme end Of the car, away from the
door. "Pass him alongn' shouted the
students. Help the old gentleman
out" They helped him out. They
tossed him up to the ceiling, they
dropped him to the floor, they wedged
him here and there, they played horse
with him. And sitter they had tossed
him out at last they felt so hilarious
that they smashed each others hats
with their canes. At 8 o'clock last
night young man, who said
his name was F. Drake Whitford,
student, came meekly into the Central
police station and reported that an old
man with a white mustsche and silk
hist picked the pockets of four OF the
students on the train, securing four
beautiful gold watches and pocket
book or two. cit will be great

can be kept out of the papers"
