The "Smallest Baby" Dead.

"Tiny Tins" battle for life ended at 5
p. m. yesterday, and the smallest baby in
the world ceased to breathe.
"The poor little mite died for lack of
nourishment," said DR.. Jacob Glass, "and
it was like losing one of hy own children,
80 deeply had I become interested in him.
On Saturday the infant stopped taking
the few drops of warm water which con-
stituted his meals, and from that time
grew weaker until he died. I tried to re-
vive him but could not.
"His mother is improving steadily and
will be we'll in a few days. Tiny Tins
little body is still in the incubator in my
Offices"
Seldom has greater interest been
aroused in baby's life. The child weigh
ed Just 10 ounces when born. DR.. Glass,
the physician attending the mother, Mrs.
Dora Falk, of No. "a Eleventh street, at
once removed the baby to his Offices
where an incubator was secured and an
effort made to sustain life. The infants
little heart and immature lungs were un-
developed and death was hard to ward off.
DR.. Glass regards it as triumph in the
medical world that the baby was kept
alive three days.-New York American.

A True Story.

Ex-Judge Thomas F. Noonan, of Jer~
sey City, was describing his experiences,
while travelling across country to his
mining property in Arizona and told
how the party, while on one Of the lecges
of canyon, deserted three wild ducks
wadd!ing along shoulder to shoulder.
"We'll have those for breakfast" said
Joe Ray, famous cracksman Of the from
tier, and Aquila Nebeker, president of
the Utah State Senate, who is equally
handy with gun, seized his repeater to
take aim at them.
EYou don't intend to kill 'em one by
one? ?" Ray objected. Bring 'em all down
with one shot,"
Nebeker waited till all three necks
were in one range and let fly.
"And would you believe" Judge Noon
an asked his friends, "that he cut off all
three heads with one bullet ?"
"Well," returned ex-Judge Al Dayton
hesitatingly, if you say so"
"Well," Noonan concluded, II won't
say it. This is true story. He missed
all New York Times.

ANDERSON, Nov. 1S.-Victor B. Chesh-
ire, well-known young man and rural
mail carrier on one of the routes leading
out from the city, was shot in the face and
painfully wounded this morning about II
o'clock by Thomas King. The shooting
occurred on the public square when there
was crowd on the site and caused a
great deal of excitement.
It seems that Cheshire was leaning
against post on the square when King
approached, but Cheshire did not see the
latter until he was upon him. As he turn.
ed King fired. The ball entered the left
cheek, ranging across and coming out on
the right side under the eye. I. D. King,
a brother of Thos. King, then came up
and threw rock striking Cheshire on the
body. Cheshire drew his pistol, but did
not fire. The cause of the difficulty as
alleged by the Kings was an insult said
to have been offered by Cheshire to Mrs.
King, their mother, woman of 60 years.
This occurred several days ago and par
ties on both sides have been trying to ad-
just the matter. Cheshire stoutly denied
the charge.
The sons did not hear of it until yester-
day and they came at once to the city in
search of Cheshire. The Kings were ad-
mitted to bail this afternoon in the sum
of $500.

known as such to so great an extent that
the occupants of the car began to make
sarcastic remarks about them.
"The bride and groom stood the remarks
for some time, but finally the latter, who
was of tremendous size, broke in in the
following language at his tormentors:
"'Yes, we are married-just married.
We are going 100 miles further and We
