Deneen claimed that he received ar

THREE
CHEERS
FOR SHERIFF. JoLLIFFE-HE is
NOT a PREACHER BUT HE
DOESN'T BELIEVE GAM
BLING.

The cane rack is again out of busi-
ness This time the county author
tiles have taken hand. Last evening
Sheriff Jolliffe went over and told the
man he could not run without county
license. He had none, and, as Sheriff
JolIiffe knew of no right whereby the
rack could be run, he ordered it closed,
which was done Immediately.
The manager says that he did ECt
put any money on the canes to be
thrown for, and we accept his word
but he Acknowledges that he did have
a revolver as a prize. We can not see
much difference, however, as it takes
money to buy revolvers, and they are
unlawful weapons anyway, and not
very good things for boys to have.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE BULL,
The two Ladies he Treed-A Late
+.. Farm Incident.

The farm bull raised a comm
ton on the Thomas Cooper place
the other day. He freed couple
Of ladies of the house hold, and
stood beneath, paving dirt and bs1-
lowing as he waited for them to
come down. The process contlnu-
ed until Mr.. Cooper. attracted by
the noise, hastened to the scene,
and drove the belligerent bovine
from the neighborhood. The Incl
dent, according to the account, be-
gan. when MIR. Cooper, who was at
work in the barn, heard a terribla
scream. 1t was followed by an
other, and another, when he began
making tracks in the direction of
the house, whence the screams came.
All kinds of visions were in his
mindseye until he neared the house,
when out in the orchard he saw the
believing bull with numerous other
cattle gathered about. Then the
flutter of dress and a female figure
in an apple tree and another in a
big cherry tree caught his eye.
The first lady was Mrs. Cooper
and the other his daughter, Mrs.
Newton. The bull had a reputation,
and when he showed signs of an at
tack, the ladies saved themselves
by climbing the trees, where they
were besieged until Mr.. Cooper ar
rived. 1t took but little time for
bull and his band to be scattered
when the besieged women came back
to earth again, thoroughly DISCUS
ted with the monarch of the Cooper
pastures.
