and wants to give the sheriff the bene-
fit of his knowledge, so that there may

Brown. Butterea watermelon.

Browns Buttered Waterm r;on.
Colonel George W. Anderson. a man
Of splendid genius and rare oratorical
gifts, was stumping for Greeley and
Brown down in southwest Missouri.
One night in the midst of his speech an
old fellow arose in the back of the
house and said:
Colonel Anderson, is it true that
Governor Brown was SO drunk at that
Yale alumni dinner that he buttered
his watermelon"
Colonel Anderson reared back on his
pdstern joints. Strengthened himself to
his 6 feet . and with a lions roar an
swered:
Eyes, it is true that Governor Brown
buttered his watermelon at the Yale
alumni dinner. and l am happy to in
form you that that is the only way in
which watermelons are eaten in polite
society"
Anderson's happy retort was greeted
with a shout Of laughter and a roar Of
applause by his auditors. His inter-
rogator sat down discounted, and that
was the last ever heard of the story
of the buttered watermelon-all Of
which goes to demonstrate the value
Of Danton's famous motto: "Laudace!
L'audace! Toujours raudace!"
Colonel Anderson was a wonderful
stumper. He was most emphatically
q rough diamond. In the rough and
tumble. catch-as-you-can style of debat-
ing he never had a superior in Mis-
souri,, which is saying a great deal. He
was an adept in the use of every spe-
cies Of oratorical weapon.-Champ

mandel 5000, which is about one
half of Ills fortune, and he declined.
The defense has submitted a num-
Der of dispositions from men who I've

Prisoners Removed to New Jail in the
Nick Of Time. q.
Oshkosh, Wis, Dec. 11.-Traces Of
an attempt of prisoners to escape was
found when party of men were look
ing over the old Jail yesterday morn
ing. The prisoners were removed to
the new jail last week and it would
appear that had they been given but a
few hours more time in the old one
there would have been no tenants to
remove to the new structure.
A flagstone had been removed and
the men had dug tunnel twelve feet
long to the outer foundation wall. 1t
is estimated that two hours uninter-
rupted work would have enabled the
prisoners to escape. There are several
desperate charactrs in the jail, among
them two charged with highway rob
berry and two with burglary.
