Turned Dog Right into Hearfy Laugh.

Platteyille Witness.
Two dogs began fighting on Main
street Saturday afternoon. They belong
TO two different men Efforts were made
TO separate the dogs and they were fl
nally successful. When the dogs were
parted, the owners took turn at it,
one grabbing the other by the neck at
an unwatchful moment. And then there
is where the fun came in. Platteville
has an athletic parson in the parsonage
Of Rev. Hardcastle He happened along,
took in the situation and bracing up to
the game, stepped in between the two
men and parted them, giving them a
good natured laugh while he was doing
it. A friend Of one Of the men attempt
ed to "butt in" whereupon the parson
grabbed him around the waist, picked
him up from the ground, and carried
him bodily away from the scene, the
fellow struggling the meantime to free
himself. Rev. Hardcastle kept up his
good-natured talk and soon had the
crowd in good humor, even the men
who were fighting. The occasion was
one where a good man with good ma
ture, backed up with athletic build,
acted az a peacemaker and succeeded.

A Tallahassee correspondent, or tele-
gram, dated July 3lst, TO the Jackson
Vile Metropolis, supposedly sent out or
authorized ~ coming from headquar-
tiers IN this city, proves whom Governor
BFoWard stands sponsor tor as judge.
There are many Democrats who ike
Sheppard personally. but who prefer

for this appointment:

''It is shown that Hodges Is the Gov.
ernor's personal counsel and pointed
out as a plausible plea for the Gov
eFnor's support. The fact Of the mat
ter Is, the Governor Endorsed District
Attorney Sheppard very strongly for
the appointment, and there Is every in
dIcation that Sheppard will be Swayne'a
successor.
"Mr. Sheppard was here few days
ago, and IL confident of his appoint
