Constable George Launder was called
to Gilpin Friday evening to quell dis
turbance created by Henry Irwin, who
had inbibed too freely in corn juice and
was initiating George Washington or
Carrie Nation in destroying everything
he came to with an axe. He was placed
under arrest and Saturday was tried be-
fore Justice of the Peace Mccullough.
A fine of $500 was imposed with the
costs added, making the total amount
$2s.00. Quite an outlay for a little fun!

Colonel Watterson wrote an editorial the
other day in The Louisville Courier Journal
entitled Shall They Buy It," That deliver
ance was described "a plain tale putting
AL Republican professions of integrity to rout'

certain collectors OF tribute for the Republican
campaign fund, which the colonel thus outlined:

have returned that S500H69 fund, had it ever
been collected on noticing that Mr.. Chaner
had finally announced his opposition 10 the

confident that the sums collected in Colonel
