Deputy George when he landed
in Portal, swore ont the war

piggers and nahbed them easily.
He cOnfiscated five cases of beer
and when the east bound passen-
ger appeared the next morning
they were placed on the train in
the smoking car. No sooner had
the officers and piggers been
seated than the gang OF Cana
dams entered the car and armed
with a Canadian warrant of ar

a board bill across the line, de-
manded that the United States
officers give up their charges.
This they refused to do fatty.
Corporal Dunning then took out
his gun and began to beat the
American officers over the heads
with it. He yelled out, "I'llshoot

No one interfered.

by the name OF Sandbagger, o.
Sandager, or something Of the
kind, from Ransom county, who
introduced a hill in the legisla-
ture some years ago authorizing
the Louisiana lottery to do bust

the man who is going to handle

Is Mr.. Sandager's appointment

When Animals Go Bad.

An animal trainer says that M man

more than a very little about them.

professional term for this. Rarely do

work there which in a majority
of the cases necessitated their
being shipped through this city
