MURRAY'S NIGHT OUT.
Had His Fun, and the Place
Knew Him No More.

The San Francisco Call says that with
blood in his eyes, cartridges in his re-
volver and a plentiful supply of whis-
KY in his stomach. Charles Murray
rode into Sunol the other night. He
increased the supply of blood in his
eye and whisky in his stomach and de-
creased the number of cartridges in
his revolver while he took possession
OF the town for an hour.
Murray came from somewhere out of
the darkness in the canyon over near
Pleasanton. As Sunol is very quiet
little town Murray's presence was soon
noticed, for fusillade of shots from
revolver does not occur there every
night in the week. When the shots at

LOVES WOODEN STATUE.
Cleveland Woman Wants q Divorce
because Her Husband WOr-
ships an IDOL.

Falling in love with an image seems
not have been passion peculiar to the
ancient Greeks. In Cleveland, O., Mrs.
August Huletts has brought suit for di-
vorce against her husband because of
jealousy of a statue which Mr.. Huletts
has carved from wood and upon which
he layishes entirely too much affection.
Mr.. Huletts is master mechanic,
but he has the artistic temperament
and hand and eye that work together
Some time ago he conceived the idea OF
carving a female figure from solid
block of wood. The figure was to be
according to his ideal, and, unwisely.
he did not even ask his wife to pose
for it.
After several months of indefatigab.
work the, figure was finished. The more
unlike Mrs. Huletts it became the less
satisfied was the wife. Now that the
statue is done. Huletts has clothed it in
the finest garments, and his wife

charging up and down the main street
shooting as he went.
This was not exciting enough. so
Murray did the usual thing in such
cases made and provided. He rode his
ated by man named Ager. Murray
wanted moro whisky. and when it did
not come fast enough he shot a few bot
ties to pieces with his revolver. This
accelerated the movements of the bar
keeper. and Murray added still more to
his overpius Of whisky and b.ood.
During these antics Murray's horse
was charging around the saloon and a
large oil lamp was overturned. In q
moment the room was in a blaze. and
Murray rode his horse out int the back
yard. Here he found himself inclosed
with high board fence on three sides.
with no hope of escape. and the burning
saloon on the other. Digging his spurs
into his horse he charged through the
fire and down the road up which he
had come.
The people of Sunol turned out to
fight the fire first. and when they had
succeeded in putting that out they
turned to look for Murray, but Murray
had already gone, and nothing re-
mained but the damaged saloon and

TAR AND FEATHERS.
TO Be Treated to an Application Of
Them Is No Joke.
It Took Five Days ana Lots Of Work
to Relieve q Man of q Coat He
Got in the Pennsylvania
Mining Country.

Several hotel guests, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat, were sitting
in the cozv corner Of the lobby the
other day reading the papers and
exchanging desultory comments.
"Ha! hal" chuckled one of the party,

couple Of Mormon elders up the coun-
try last night. Served 'em right, by
Jove! They must have looked funny
sauntering out of town dressed in

did you ever see anybody tarred

man in the next chair. No? Well,

thing. ! saw one case, and I'll never

ALDERMAN AS DIVER.
Illinois City Father 1nspects Bot
tom of Lake Michigan.
Emulates the Noble Example OF the
Famous Mr.. McGinty, Bat II
More Fortunate Than the
Hero Of the Song.

The water works at Highland Park,
one of Chicago's prettiest suburbs,
have just received some extensive re-
pairs to the intake pipe. and upon
completion of the work the services
of submarine diver. not interested
in the contract, were necessary to in
spect the same.
Some of the members Of the city
council smiled to themselves when
Ripper that. as he was chairman of the
committee that approves such mat
ters. it would be necessary for him
to put on the divers suit and inspect
the several hundred feet of pipe lying
beneath the chilly waters of Lake
Michigan. But the alderman did not
understand the joke that way and
readily consented and inspected the
pipe.
The accompanying sketch shows
Alderman Van Ripper about to be low
cred in 30 feet of water, at the crib,
half mile from shore.
When asked to describe the sensa-
utes. the alderman said:
Il had no difficulty in breathing,
and could have stayed down much
longer if it had been necessary. The
only time | felt distressed was when
Diver johnson weighted down my
back with 100 pounds of lead and one
Of my feet with half that amount.
while | was hanging to the ladder of
the boat. which was being tossed
about pretty lively. After placing the
'sinkers' on my back the diving head
was screwed on and the air pump
started Then l began to feel a full
ness in my ears. and when / received
the signal to descend. which was given
by two thumps on the copper helmet.
it sounded to me as though they were
dealt with a sledge hammer. I threw
myself backwards into the water and
began to descend. From that mo-
ment l lost all thought Of what was
going on above.
Il could not realize at first that I
was under water. The lookout glass
became steamed up, and / felt as
though ! was floating on the surface
until the light began to disappear.
realized then that I could breathe,
and there was not the slightest feel

ing of suffocation. The sensation was
wonderfully strange. could hear the
bubbling water rushing by the glass
and the sound of air being pumped
into the helmet
"Only once did I think of those
above me, and that was when I was
descending. 1t seemed to me that I
was going down at the rate Of a sink
ing stone, and / was sure that | would
land on the bottom with such force
that my limbs would be broken, so l
began to draw them up to lessen the
shock when | should strike bottom.
At the same time ! was talking to
myself about being let down so fast.
My pleadings, however, were heard
l had forgotten that there was tele-
phone connection running through
the air tube to a receiver in the boat
They either heard me and slackened
the speed, or else it was only imagina-
ton on my part, for l touched like q
feather. The next thing was to find
which way was north. | tried to de-
termine it by looking for the sun,
but the water was either too deep or
not clear enough. 1t was hard work
to force myself against the water and
walk about. The weight on my back
and feet l did not feel to any extent,
but there was quite a pressure all
over me. I could not look out of the
side windows very well. as l did not
know it was necessary to place the
hands under the shoulder plates and
lift up in order to turn the head with
out causing an undue pressure upon
the veins of the neck. l tried it and
there was rush of blood to my head
and l became dizzy This feeling
quickly left me, after standing still
for minute. found the intake pipe
after five minutes wandering about.
1t was with difficulty ! bent myself
down to inspect the joints in the pipe,
owing to the buoyancy of the inflated
suit, which was few sizes too large
for me: also there was not enough
lead on my back for the depth of wa
ter. l walked backwards along the
intake to avoid possible chance of
the glass being broken by protruding
bolts in the piling."
Many fish were seen, but they quick
" darted away. They probably had
never seen an alderman under water.
although that's where some of them
belong, according to Mr.. Van Riper's
own admission.
