Senator Brown believed the State had
made OFT a case Of murder In the first
degree. The generalization commenced
when Benbrook sent DAILY for the gun.

waiting for his victim 20 appear, when
he could throw no his hand make the
excuse. and turn lose with his artil-
lery. These prelimnares were all with
malice and generalization.
ANSWERS JUDGE POWERS.
Surprising that the affair had re-
suited differently, Senator Brown be-
lleved that II, after Benbrook had
fired at him, Morris had gone In and
strangled his assailant TO death, he
would have been justified.

This accident should serve at least

GOOD JOKE ON THE POLICE.
Tale of the Purchase of Team of Horses
at Albany. Ill.


Attaches of the municipal govern
ment are discussing strategic move
that was successfully executed by
Fire Chief Charles Hastings and by
which the police department was
euchred out of fine team OF horses
that were billed for service on the
city ambulan &c. The horses are now
domiciled at the Central engine house.
while the police department continues
casting about for horseflesh on which
to eXpend the receipts of the recent
ball. The story runs this way: Ser
geant Writ has friends in Albany, H.,
where lives Dr. DipOnd. who deals in
fine horses. Writ wrote DR.. Dimond
for description of his purchasablc
teams. receiving which he and Officer
John Schmid hied themselves to AL
bany, accompanied by Chief Hast
ings. The police department rep
resentatives were much pleased
with one of the teams, and told
the owner taat undou btedly he
would make sale, and returned
to the city to report to Chief Mil
Ter and the police committee of
the council. Chief Hastings also fell
in love with the pair of horses, but did
not say anything about them, but i'm
medialely called together the fire and
light committee, which secured the
necessary authority from the council.
There was a trip to Albany by Hast
ings. a veterinarian surgeon and
members of the committee, and the
next dav the team was in the Central
house barn. but the police department
did not tumble until it was too late
