dress. Last night the Hon. Wal

of which had never before been

was that of the or mary tail silk
hat. but the material was light
colored plated straw, and, al
though his fellow members look
ed a little surprised at the inno-
walton, envy of the GOODNESS of
the headgear was quite as strong
as astonishment at the new mem

the commissioners have not made

fault of the commissioners, for
they have proceeded as fast as il
was safe to do. They had no pre-

work, it was all new for them, and
brand new instructions and plans

BuFORD'S BLUFF.
Obstreperous CoIored Man
Refused to Be Vaccinated.

Yesterday evening DR.. r. ..
Owen, under the direction OF the
board of health, went to the home
of Phil Buford, negro living near
the pest house, for the purpose OF
vaccinating that gentleman and his
family. Buford firmly and in no
gentle terms refused to submit or
allow any member Of his family to
be treated.
DR.. Owen returned to town, Sc
cured tn assistance of Mayor Shee-
han and Marshal Ledbetter and
again proposed vaccination. Bu-
ford insisted that he had had
smallpox when boy. DIR. Owen
then asked him whether ne bad
ever been .yaccnated, and was told
that he had-sometime in '85 or
'86. This story naturally proved
the falsity OF Buford's entire state
ment, and the doctor insisted on
proceeding with his work. The
intended victim then gave out the
information that there was not
enough men in town to vaccinate
him, and at once put himself on
the defensive. Mayor Sheehan
took up position to the right OF
Buford and insisted on peaceable
submission. using as an argument
therefor a pistol of no small di-
mensions. Billy Simms, who had
come up during the argument
gained possession OF Buford's lett
arm and after slight wrestle got
it in shape for DR.. Ovens work.
However, Buford, who is a power
full man, jerked away, and it re.
mained for Marshal Ledbetter, who
up to this time had been silent, to
partially quiet him, which he did
in his usual quiet yet forcible
manner.
After the work Of vaccinatine
Buford and his family was com
pleted that individual again be-
came insolent and applied severa
pleasant titles to the officers anc
swore he would be even with each
and all of them at no distant time
especially did be berate. Dr. Owen

there being six people confined In
