slot machine in Waldhart's saloon they
disagreed over some money that was
drawn out, and finally came to blows,
with the result that Reckling drew a

into custody, while Belcher was taken
home and cared for. Reckling had his
hearing Saturday, and was bound over

BY THE BROOK OF LOVE

We'll seek nook by gentle brook,
O'erhung with tres and singing birds.
And in the evening. in the cleaning,
They slumber til the morning,
With their heads beneath their wir-s.
II gentle sleep to US don't come.
The nightingale may sing her song,
Til the twilight, in the morning:
When relief. to her shall come
With the lark, in its morning song.
Then our sonls with joy shall rise
In dreamy thoughts of paradise:
In meditation's sweet revere.
With my mnse and God of song,
By Florss side. a Titan strong.
The soul grows larger every day.
Whilst with love and song we stay
In that sweet valley OF Thessaly;
Like David's son, with the daughters,
Drinking loves sweet waters.

This was a second better than the. exl

several minutes when his time was

The fractional parts of the time
were: Quarter, 81; half. 1:01 three
quarters, 1:311k; last quarter, :29.
OF the other events of the closing day
of the meet, the 2:07 trot furnished the
