| Last night a man wandered into Ken
yon's stable on First street and called
| for the boss. The man in charge of the
stable informed him that he was acting
in that capacity for the time being. The
stranger. who had evidently been drink
ing freely, told the stableman that he
was going to run the place for while,
and that he could consider him as the
boss
Exceptions were taken to this, and for
short time there was something doing.
The man In charge, whose rights as boss
were imperiled by a usurper ordered
the fellow out, and when he refused To
go grappled with him.
There was lively mix-up and at the
finish the rightful stableman was sitting
astride the PROSTATE visitor. holding him
down until he promised to be good.
