MAKES
 TWO ARRESTS BIngvlIIe VissitOrs Full as Goats

Seth Dewberry. our brave town consta- ble, had a unusual experIents last week when he arrested men in one day; but then Seth is so used to unusual experi- ents with desperate criminals that he says it don't amount to nothink. altho ennybuddy whot witnessed 1t could see that he felt his oats in his ofnishal capas- sity.
 Last Tuesday morning. our erstwhile quiet naberhood was disturbed by the vissit of two young fellers from the O. seat who druv to Bingville greatly under the inflooence of Ticker and who perceed- ed to make the welkin ring. as you might say. Arrivin in town they put their out fit up at Bill Hepburn's blacksmith shop and give Bill nip of Ticker and job of sharpInE up the horses shoes while t&ey went out to git a bite to eat. On the street they met old Dad Henderson shuf- fling eriong and ruther than git outen the path they jest showed Dad head over heels into the snow and walked erlong lords the P. O. where Eph Higgins, our accommodatin postmaster, was standing up on a box putting a new pane of glass fin the sash for the one broke by Jimmy Cooper while snowballing When they come up to Eph they hauled off and give the box sich a kick that 1t sent Eph fly ing into big drift almost smothering
 
 fist at them and loolSt around for Seth Dewberry who in some way or ruther, alIus seems to be missing when enny- think happens and he Is wanted in a hurry. Then they went into Hen Weath- ersbys store and bought some crackers and cheese and started to drink some Ticker when Hen objected and told them to get out while they was able to walk, but they jest laffed at Hen and took sew eral nips and treated all hands saying they had plenty more in the sleigh. After a short spell they got feelin purity hilari- ous and upset a pair of scales and throwd box of salt mackerel on the floor, and when Hen called their attenshion to 1t they ast Hen how much damage was did and Hen said a quarter. wich they paid and then staggered out onto the street arm in arm singing Comrades" They couldn't go very fast cuz they was too all-hred drunk. but everybuddy heerd them coming and rusht out into the street to see whot was up. When they got down by Harve Hinese's barber shop they climbed upon the fence and sit down and tride to focus their gaze orf the crowd wich had collected, When one of them went to shift his possishion he lost his balance and grabbed at the other felIer and both of them went over backwards where they laid and went to sleep happy and contented
 Meanwhile Somebuddy told seth erbouC the skandalous ackshions of the vissiters i and Seth went home and put on his badge and started for the seen. Lookin over the fence Seth saw they was asleep. so over he jumps and puts the handcuffs on them before they know whot's happened. [ Then Seth he tride to git them up on their feet but he couldn't budge them, i strong man that he is, and called for as- sistants. Lem Brown and Snide Peters , then stept forward and assisted Seth and the prisoners was then taken to the lock- up follered by the whole populashion, who don't get chance to enjoy seeing a arrest every day.
 After building fire and getting the lock up het up. Seth was kept busy open ing and shetting the door to let the in- habitants see the prisoners, until erIong about o'clock when Anne Hillyer called the men seemed to be purity well sobered up and sed they was reddy for trial
 Seth then unlocked the cell door and put l the handcufs on again and marched them up to the law ofiis where they waa | tried by Judge Hillyer and sentenced to pay a fine of S3 piece. wich they did and was released. On gitting their horse from Bill Hepburn's shop they left Bil
 a gal. jug of XXX for his pay and Bill has kept purty well nckered up ever ninst
