There seems hardly any limit to the age of fish of many kinds. Carp are known to have lived 200 years and over, while the case of the Russian pike that was caught few years ago with a gold band around it's tail on which the date 1546 was imprinted is well known. There are gold fish that have belonged to one family over 60 years, and do not now appear much larger than when originally placed in the acquarium, though they are every bit as lively as ever. In the royal aquarium of St. Petersburg there are fish to-day that are known to have been there at least 150 years. Some Of them are five times as big as when first captured; others have not grown an inch

DREW HIS GUN. ALMOST A TRAGEDY BE- TWEEN SORRELLS
 AND FOSTER. ARE BROTHERS IN LAW. The Trouble Grew out of the Trial of ". B. Graker-The Jury
 In a "Rush".
RE BROTHERS -IN-LAW.

The trial of W. B. Craker, the in- surance mau, charged with Yiolat- Ing the State insurance law and which came up in Justice Garrett's court this morning, came very near resulting in tragedy.
 Mir. Craker is beng defended by Lawyers H. R, [. Foster and W. c. Street., and the State by Prosecut- ing Attorney ". B. Sorrells and As sistant Prosecuting Attorney Wm. Harrison.
 During the trial Mr. Foster was questioning a witness. He asked the witness a question, and as is his privilege, Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells objected. Mr. Foster turn ing to the court said: Gentlemen l am not being treated fairly by the States attorney.
 NJ. Sorrells said very exeitedly, HI. R. O. Foster. you can not say that of me; l will not permit it."
 Mir. Foster then jumped up and shaking his hand at Mir. Sorrells, said, "I will say what I damn please.
 You can run no bluff over me; why g-d-you, I'll kill you, I'll put a bullet clear through your body" replied Mir. Sorrells, at the same time running his hand into his hip pocket after his gun and removing 1t to his front pants pocket.
 Several of the eye witnesses say Mr. Sorrells did not draw his gun, but only put his hand in his pocket, while several state that he did change ihfrom his rear to his front pocket.
 At this iuncture the jurymen slid under tables, behind benches and several went out the door at 8 2:40 gait.
 The belligerents were then quiet ed by the few remaining in the court room.
 Alter Constable Stewart had speat fully an hour in hunting up ,ud bringing back the jury men, Judge Garrett again called the court to order,
 Mr. W. c. Street. then informed the jury that if the case was to be decided by six-shooters he and Mr. Foster would like to retire to their office for their revolvers.
 This brought about much laugh ter in the court room.
 Again the feud was renew d by MT. Foster telling Mr. Sorrels that if he desired to walk out into the street he would settle the matter with him. MT. .Sorrells agaln jumped from his seat and excited y ex- claimed
 .'I'll settle it any time and any wherel"
 But the gentlemen were again queted by their friends and the court vas again called to order by Judge Garrett.
 Constable Stewart informed the court that he was unable to find one of the iurymen, and the case was continued until this afternoon at two o'clock.
 We regret very much to chronicle the above occurrence and are at the same time pleased to note the favor able manner in which it was ended. Messrs. Sorrells and Foster are brothers-in-law, having married sisters, and we hope the matter will be dropped as its stands. and the regretable occurrence soon forgot ten.
 Mr. Sorrells did not attend the trial this afternoon, the State be- ing represented by MT. Harrison alone
