CHARACTER FOR QUO VADIS."
1t is announced that "Quo Vadis" is
to be staged. Here is an opening for
George c. Ruffner of Prescott. They
will naturally want a man to take a
bull by the horns and throw him down,
and Mr.. Ruffner has done that little
trick on two occasions without any
rehearsal, the last time at the steer
tying contest here. If he had done it
only once it might have been thought
to be an accident, but having ac-
complished it twice, the throwing of
steer by its horns may be regarded as
a habit of Mr.. Ruffner's.

to the county Jail for ten days. AS
soon as their cases were disposed of
the three other prisoners were brought
up. They had not been sleeping at all,
but have kept everybody else in the
community from indulging in what, by
the decision in the first case, was con-
strued to be an offense. Yet they were
sentenced to Jail for five days.
