shall in rather uncomplimentary terms
and made the broad assertion that lie
could wipe the earth with a half dozen

to be an athlete and weighs considera-
Bile less than 200 pounds. At the same
time when any one thinks the little
officer can be used as a mop for the
face of old earth. let him step up and
try his hand. The foolhardiness of such
a course was made evident Saturday
night when the marshal deliberately ar
rested this typical tough" and placed
him behind the bars of the city bas-
tile. On Monday the fellow was ground
through Justice Seely's court and paid
IS. 60 fine and costs for his fun.

Mr.. Rainey was not able to extricate his
foot from the stirrup before he was again
