youngest member. Although a Republican nomi-
nation is not the same an election in the
XXVIIth Senate District. for the reason that
II includes the Democratic county of Schoharie.
nevertheless the friends of Mr.. Warwick are
confident that he will go to Albany by a safe
majority
Senator Krum will celebrate his SEVENTEEN

twenty-eght years old. Mr.. Krun, after obtain

young half starved lawyer. he was held UP for
nearly half hour by little negro boy. who
proved for the nonce sharper than the young
attorney.
II was murder case and the Senator wanted
10 prove that the negro lived on the other side
OF the river. where the murderer made his es-
cape. The boy succeeded in lodging him re-
peatedly and finally young krum shouted

punished for perjury II you give false testi-
mony?"

We'll then, do you dare to tell me that you
don't live the river, when know you do?'
Most sure I does. faw II l lives over the river
