that several MESA geS have passed be-

Whether or not any of these men have
been employed or even communicated

The case hinges on several ma

means that the fight will be a hard
one. When the trial is called it will
be one fraught with great interest.

offices breathed freely yesterday
when it became known that Judge
Neal had thrown out of court Col. j.

In a small entrossel in the Rue

always disagreeable to think of dying,

Which explains why Achilles kept
up his swagger and his injured pride,
although providing a door of escape
for the guardians of his honor, in a

from over his curling mustachios:

Then they began to parley, but the

taught, invariably answered all their
arguments with, "Ten francs apiece,

At last Achilles friends, not wish
