listening group a drunken man stag
gered uncertainty through the wide
doors of the saloon and, gaining sight
OF the tall stranger, blinked, then APP
preached him, speaking with a loud
voice:
swell, If faint ole Alec Mcnamara!
How do. We ole plrateY
Mcnamara nodded and turned his
back coolly upon the newcomer.
"Don't turn your dorsal fin to me.
wan to talk to ye."
Mcnamara continued his calm dis
course till he received a vicious whack
on the shoulder. Then he turned for a
moment to interrupt his assailant's
garrulous profanity:
"Don't bother me. I am engaged"
aye won talk to me, eh? Well, I'm
goin' to talk to you, see. guess you'd
listen If told these people all know
about you. Turn around here"
His voice was menacing and attract
ed general notice. Observing this, Nc
Namara addressed him, his words
dropping clear, concise and cold:
Don't talk to me. You are q drunk
en- nuisance. Go away before some
thing happens to you"
Again he turned away, but the
drunken man seized and whirled him
about, repeating his abuse, encouraged
by this apparent patience.
"Your pardon for an instant. gentle
men," Mcnamara laid a large white
and manicured hand upon the flannel
sleeve Of the miner and gently escorted
him through the entrance to the side
walk, while the crowd smiled.
AS they cleared the threshold, how.
ever, he clinched his fist without a
word and, raising II, struck the sot
fully and cruelty upon the jaw. His
victim fell silently, the back of his
head striking the boards with hollow
thump; then, without even observing
how he lay, Mcnamara re-entered the
saloon and took up his conversation
where he had been interrupted. His
voice was as evenly regulated as his
movements, betraying not a sign of
anger, excitement or bravado. He lit
cigarette, extracted a notebook and
jotted down certain memoranda sup
piled him by Mexico Mullins.
All this time the body lay across the
threshold without a sign of life. The
buzz Of the roulette wheel was re-
sumed, and the crap dealer began his
monotonous routine. Every eye was
fixed on the nonchalant man at the
bar, but the unconscious creature out
side the threshold lay unheeded, for
in these mems code II behooves the
most humane to practice a certain
aloofness in the matter Of private
brawls.
Having completed his notes, McNa-
mara shook hands gravely with his
companions and strobe out through the
door, past the bulk that sprawled
across his path and without pause or
glance disappeared.
A dozen willing, though unsympa-
thetic, hands laid the drunkard on the
roulette table, where the bartender
poured pitcher upon pitcher of water
over him.
HE amt hurt none to speak Of"
laid bystander; then added, with en-
husiasm:

There are no clubs nor marts where
men foregather for business in the
north-nothlng but the saloon, and this
Is all and more than club. Here men
congregate to drink, to gamble and to
traffic.
IT was late in the evening when
Glenister entered the Northern and
passed idly down the row Of games,
pausing at the crap table, where; he
rolled the dice when his turn came.
Moving to the roulette wheel, he lost a
stack of whites, but at the faro "lay-
OUT his luck was better, and he won a
gold coin on the high card. whereupon
he promptly ordered round Of drinks
for the men grouped about him, a for
mality always precedent to overtures
of general friendship.
AS he paused, glass In hand, his eyes
were drawn to a man who stood close
by, talking earnestly. The aspect Of
the stranger challenged notice. for he
stood high above his companions with
a peculiar grace of attitude In place of
the awkwardness common In men Of
great stature Among those who were
listening intently to the mans care

what after the manner of the western
'rustler," was sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the County Work

his arrest followed.

surprise of the court auditors. he en-
tered plea of guilty TO the charge
against him. Mr.. Hayes then begged
the court to be leniest in it's sentence.

Iputation, but insisted that the sentence
should the crime, the rst of the kind

court, imposed the sentence.
/ Mrs Hackendorn accompanied by

/ old son. sat just outside the prisoners
lpen until her husband was called for
sentence Then the little family left
the court room. ON the way to the
cell they intercepted the father, mother
and children throwing their arms about
his neck and weeping bitterly The
sorrowful scene was repeated I'm the

ed prison keepers admitted the broken
hearted family.

BUMPS FOR THE
CITY ASSESSORS
Levy Court Tells Officials
They Must Make Legal
Assessment

The city assessors came in for a
liberal amount of bumps" at the
hands OF TIE Levy Court this morning
The shocks followed the swearing Of
all the city and rural assessors to
make correct assessment during the
terms Of their office. and were sug-
gested by the statement from one of
the officials that his assessment was
rotten.
Commissioner Scott severely censur-
ed the official for his statement, dc
claring that if his assessment was
rotten" it was because the assessor
had failed to observe .he law govern
ing his office 1t then came out that
the city assessment. in almost every
particular, Is inaccurate because the as
SCISSORS have copied their work from
antiquatei assessment records instead
of making house to house assessments
every year, as is provided for by law.
AS though i'm one voice, many of the
assessors shouted to Mr. Scott: MY
assessment is not rotten" Then all of
them tried to declare at the same time
that they had made a house to house
assessment, as provided by law, and
that their books show an honest as

Tbs Red Death.

II VIII be remembered that Edgar
Allan Poe in his 'Nlasque Of the Red
Death" described a plague, the main
symptom of which was a bleeding
from the pores of the body.
In Central America the red death is
personined in the blood snake. or, as
the Spaniards call it, vivora sangre.
This snake is Of red tinged black on
the back, while underneath it is Of a
bright vermilion. It's deadly work is
easily recognizable in the condition Of
the victim. An Indian cattleman, find-
ing a COW bleeding at the nose, eyes
and ears and perspiring blood at every
pore, does not hesitate to blame 1t on
vlyora sangre. Unfortunately the ef-
feet upon the human being is the same,
and our Indian friend quite realizes it

blanket around him and stoically SITS
