Fired His Gun.

a Mexican named TabascO Gre
gasco bought a new 42-calibrc re-
volver last evening and was so
jubilant over the possession of the
weapon that he began shooting up
the town before he had even torn
the tag off:-he was as tickled as
the little boy with his new boots.
He stepped out in the road and
took a shot whether up or down
no one seemed to know. In fact,
no one saw the bullet go. But
Officers Jennings and Harrington
dropped down on him before the
gun had stopped smoking. He
was taken before Judge Williams
and ordered lodged in Jail. There
was apparently no reason why the
shot was fired, unless it be that
Tabasco is beginning early to cele-
brate the independence of Mexico.

OFFICIALLY DEAD FOR 10 YEARS.
An Incident Of Gov, BrOdie'S Mill
taT Record.

Governor Brodie has the unusual
distinction Of having been officially
dead for ten years. He was mark.
ed deceased, on the military re-
cords at West Point, from 1890 to
1900. 1t came about through an
accident that took place in the
valley ten years ago. A report
reached West Point that Governor
Brodie had been killed, and the
writing Of his obituary was assign.
ed to classmate. The ciassmate
called upon another for
assistance in preparing the data
and the latter wrote to the govern
or, requesting that he write his
own obituary. The governor
treated the matter in the light of Il
joke, and allowed it to pass from
his mind. Several years ago he
learned that as far as the military
records went he was dead. When
Governor Brodie went east to start
for Cuba, and began helping to
put down the enemy, he looked
over the the records and paid FIVE
dollars to have transcript made
of his death notice. At the same
time he was still alive.-RepuJljcan
