NO CAUSE FOR KICKING.

Many jokes have been made at the ex-
pense of the German emperor's fondlless
for letter writing, but by his intimates
it is recognized as a veritable safety
valve. It forms an outlet for his super
fiuous energy and he likes to be able
to jot down an idea whenever it occurs
to him. In every room in the royal
palace pens, ink and paper may be
found, and even the bed chamber has
it's fully equipped writing table. The
royal yacht is thoroughly equipped, and
even a short train journey is not under
taken without a stocked writing case.
The emperor prefers a broad-nibbed pen.
and usually writes on large quarto sheets
of thick paper.

About a dozen Anaconda youths made
an attempt at playing circus which at
tracted no small attention on East Park
avenue yesterday afternoon. Just where
they had their imaginary tents set make
very little difference, but their street
parade was all right. The parade passed
north on Main street n east on Park
avenue, and was composed of three
wagons and II boys. The first wagon
contained a boy and was drawn by an
other who wore 4 harness hitched in
shafts. and a third boy followed up the
rear. The second wagon was drawn by
+our boys harnessed our-in-hand. This
wagon carried a wooden cage upon which
sat another boy who was the driver. The
cage was divided into three sections and
contained five cats in section one, two
tame rabbits in the other and a small
dog in the third one. The last wagon was
also drawn by two boys. This wagon
contained two small boys whose faces

A MAN WHO KNEW HIM.

Mike Shea, an old friend of Lucey, has
just come from the Occur d'Alene coun-
try. In speaking of Lucey he said: II
knew Lucey very well, and am sorry for
him. His predicament is not a surprise
to me. Lucey is a man. that would do al
most anything to accomplish a purpose
and the killing Of a man would not stand
in his way. I worked with him in a
number of mining camps. He deserted
from the Sixth cavalry n went to
Cripple Creek. He was a good miner
n had lots of friends there. We work
ed together in the Independence and
Portland mines and became as goo..
friends as possible. One time we went
to Denver with a crowd of soldiers from
Fort Logan. Lucey knew some of the
soldiers. We started out to have a good
time. Among the boys was a rsd-headed,
hot-tempered fellow named Llewellyn.
While we We're celebrating two police
men tried to arrest Llewellyn and he shot
both and escaped. A few days later
Lucey told me he had helped Llewellyn
escape and that Llewellyn had gone to
Utah to join the Robbers Roost gang of
bandits. Lucey n I afterwards worked
in the Bunker Till and Sullivan mines in
the Couer d'Alene. I knew he left that
section, but did not know where he had
gone. He was a quiet man, drank a good
deal and was something of a ladies man.
He was addicted to the use of some drug
opium or morphine, and would lay off
several days at a time in order to indulge
his craving"
