in this manner:

BUTLER WANTED THE BRIEF

While E. G. Carrigan was in Gen.
B. F. Buffers law Office lady came
in to ask some advice. AS the gen
eral was not in, Mr.. Carrigan ques-
toned her, and told her he would
submit her case to the general, which
he did.
The general was to leave the next
day for Washington, and told Mr..
Carrigan to prepare brief of the
lady's case and show it to him the
next day.
Mr. Carrigan sat up half of the
night writing his brief. The next
morning, about fifteen minutes before
Butler was to take his carriage for
the train, he told Mr.. Carrigan he
would look at his brief and give his
opinion.

of it's money, made arrangements with
a band Of pirates that they should

The earl. however heard of the ar

large number of the crew were not
made up from the pirate band; so he

his retainers, refusing to go to Pc
