But in these later days of improved
transportation facilities W. come across
tho Western Spirit more often in story
books than elsewhere. Perhaps this is
because we move faster now than they
did in the good old days Of the west
when the OK team WAS the principal
method of locOmotion. People don't
stay in no place long enough at u time
now to think Of anything hut how 10

Round Mountain after the fire last Sat.

A New Scheme For Revenue.

A new scheme of government
revenue has been devised by Rep
resentative Sisson, of Mississippi,
and he feels confident that its
adoption wOeld bring millions in
to the treasury. He believes also
that it would add materially to
the average length of human life
in this country. His scheme is to
levy tax Of 81 and % per cent
advalorem oh every revolver, dirk,
stiletto, bow se knife or a pair of
metal knuckles manufactured in
OF imported snto this county. He
proposes th$t there be tax of
one-fifth a cent each on cartridges
according to:sIze.
81 estimate" he says, "that the
tax on wed pons would produce
about 81, 100000 and on cartridges
100000 year.
There's np use for a pistol OF
stileNo but Ito kill. Those who
use them cause the government
much expense and there is no
reason why they should not con-
tribute to the treasury. Tobacco,
whisky and cards are subject to
taxation and it would be we'll
enough to add an assessment on
the owners o. deadly weapons. 1t
would be better to tax pistols and
not plows, cartridges and not corn
planters. |

JURY ExoNERATES
s.. CHICAGO! IL! SLAYER
Killed Man " Who Used Foul
Language to Women.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-In one of the
most remarkable verdicts ever rem
-dered in, criminal case. a jury in
Judge Groves branch of the munfc.
pal court found Valentine B. Caugh
not guilty in connection with the
death Of John A. Sjostadt, who died
Oct. q, following a blow struck by
Caugh in defense of several girls.
The jury commended Caugh's gal
lantry and in unusual terms declared
that he had asserted his manhood by
acting as he did, The verdict says:
From the evidence offered the
jury are ofIsthe opinion that the de-
ceased was intoxicated and that he
used foul and unseemly language to
various young women and girls in the
vicinity and finally directed his vile
epithets and evil abuse against the
said Valentine B. Caugh, who was hav-
ing his shoes shined at the time and
whose manhood being .assailed and
the character of his maternal ancestor
brought into question in manner vile
in the extreme naturally resented the
same by mixing up with the deceased.
The jury are of the opinion that he
was justified in resenting the insult
offered.''"
Caugh, who is thirty-six years old,
wept in court when Judge Grove dis
charged him following the reading of
the verdict
