sunpuEp THE GULLY.
Sad Everybody in Court Was Secretly
Glad Of IT.


Glad Of It.
"TEe biggest court room bully ever
net In my life," said an old New Or
leans lawyer to New Orleans Tlmes-
Democrat man, twas en- attorney
named Simmondson, who was quite
noted character in tho early days OF
lis Louisville bar. I practiced in that
city for several years after / was ad-
mitted, and / used to encounter him
now and then In the local courts. Hs
was very large, portly man, with
singularly intimidating presence, and
when he got a nervous witness in his
hands the way he would put on the
screws was something frightful. This
habit led one day to q remarkable
scene, Of which I happened to be
spectator. He was engaged in the trial
Of a case involving the title Of some
farm lands, and a number of country
men were called to testify on the 9TH
er side. They were naturally Ill at
ease. being unused to city ways, and
when Simmondson came to cross-ex-
anime he found them easy prey. He
harassed them In every imaginable
manner, and whenever they would
show signS OF confusion would roar
out: What are you hesitating for?
Are you afraid you may tell lie?' II
the victim replied No. Simmondson
would retcrt, I was sure you didn't
fear little thing like that and il the
answer was Yes he would say, with
a sneer: All! l thought So In short,
he had them both ways, and the poor
fellows, being strangers to repartee,
were badly discounted. The last wit
ness he took in hand was tall, lank
farmer with very thoughtful eye.
He had watched the batting of his
neighbors in dead silence and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim
mondson evidently set him down as
lout, and when the witness hesitated
over some question a moment later he
fred his favorite shot: What are y
studying about? he beloved. "Fraid
of telling lie, too, I suppose? With
out any apparent haste the country
man picked up a massive inkstand and
hurled it straight at Simmondson's
head, catching him On the bridge OF
the nose, and knocking him perfectly
senseless. That's what was a-study-
in about he drawled in the moment
Of dead silence that followed the act.
Needless to say, tremendous hubub
ensued, but everybody was secretly
pleased, and while the Judge fined the
farmer heavily for contempt, he sub
sequently remitted the sentence.
Simmordson was carried home and
was laid up for several weeks. When
he emerged he was as gentle IS a
dove, and it was said he never bullied
another witness. He subsequently
drifted out to California, where he died
during the war;"

The secretary of war has ordered that white troops be sent immediately to all western posts upon or adjacent to Indian reservations, to take the place of colored soldiers, where the latter are now stationed. As result of the instructions, company of the Seventh cavalry, now at Omaha, will be sent over the Santa Fe to San Car los, Arizona, and the colored troops which have been stationed at the agency are ordered to San Antonio, Texas, for the winter. It is said at army headquarters that the secretary of war has sent several terse messages, resulting in this radical step. The government is particularly anxious to avoid any trouble with the Indians just at this period. for obvious reasons, and the request of the Apaches to have the colored troops sent away was readily granted.
