Violated the Eth Commandment.

panied by his wife and daughter, arrived in Clifton to locate. John, who is hard working, industrious citizen, found em- ployment with the A. c. Co.,, and is at present employed as a skinner at the converters, and is now on night shift. Jack Greenwood, who now works as a carpenter for the company, is distant relative of Johns and came to Clifton, broke, sometime after Johns arrival. John did all in his power for Greenwood in the way of loaning him money to keep body and soul together, and also enter tained him at his home. John came home one evening few days ago, while on day shift, for his supper, and his lit tie daughter, aged five years, told him that she and mamma and MT. Green wood had been to the Chinese gardens all day. This put bug in Johns ear, and last Sunday night he procured man to take his place at the converters.
 
 found the door of his heretofore happy home locked, which was an unusual thing, so says John. He called to his wife to open the door, and as soon as she recognized her husbands voice, cried out: My God, can't!" John then crawled through an open window and at the same time heard a pistol click. He kept right on, however, and lit the lamp, and his suspicious were yer flied, for there stood before him, in his night clothes, Jack Greenwood, the des- troyer of his home and the man whom he had treated like he would a brother, pistol in hand, shaking like an aspen leaf. John was between the front win dow and door and Greenwood backed into the kitchen, which is only partly finished with no exit. Greenwood could not run and did not shoot. John was unarmed and persuaded Greenwood to lay the pistol down, as he was too cow ardly to use it. John then told him that he must take his wife and care for her that if he did not he must suffer dire consequences. John then took his little girl and left the house, after telling Greenwood to vacate his premises by Monday night. John has found good home for his little daughter, and Green wood and Mrs. J. have quarters else ,..I,o.o ;., ,;f,

A Birthday Party.

A Birthday Party
 Miss Christina Cromb celebrated her eighth birthday Monday, from the hours of to 6p.m. The Following girl friends were invited: Misses Alice and Nellie Sidebotham, Elsie and Flossie Jones, , Florence, Jessie, Queenie and Francis Lloyd, Hulda Torrance, Leona High, Matte and Irene Robertson, Ethel Dou- gan, Nellie, Fannie and May Vaughan, Clara Hewitt, Lacy and Lena Miller, Laura and Flossie Whipple, Cleora Moore The guests enjoyed themselves in various games until.five o'clock, when they were entertained to cake, ice cream, nuts and candy. Several songs were sung by the party and many pretty, use ful presents were received by little Miss Christina.
 Upon several occasions within the past two months the attention of the peace officers has been called to an indi- vidual of the ''tin horn" species named Humphries, who, it was said, habitually wore gun. The officers had been on the watch for some time, when on the 23rd Constable Hamilton caught him ''dead to rights" and had him and his gun before Judge Wright, where he pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial. At the trial, in spite of the fact that he succeeded in wringing his part ner in on the jury, he was promptly found guilty and fined $50, which, though amply able, he refuses to pay and has appealed to the district court. The way. things look now it bids fair to cost him two or three hundred before he gets through.
 MT. and Mrs. George Fraser have re- moved back to their South Clifton home from the house formerly occupied by Phil Herr. The latter house will be oc- cupied by NJ. B. Emerson and family.
