SHORT SHRIFT FOR BOREs

A japanese engineer named

silencing parliamentary bores, and
from his invention he is entitled to
be considered a benefactor to the
human race.
Attached to each seat in the
house of parliment he proposes to
have a metal tube. the top being
about the size of franc piece or
shilling. Each member of the
house is to receive a Ieaden ball
or bullet on entering. These balls
can be easily passed into the tube
which, carried under the floor,
leads to receptacle Immediately
under the place where a member
stands when addressing the
assembly.
This spot is like the traps on the
stage of theater. The Trap is so
arranged that when a certain
number OF balls--not less than
one-half the number of members
of a full house-have reached
their receptacle the trap is made
to descend automatically, carrying
with 1T the garrulous speaker or
bore as the case may be.
No points of order have to be
raised. The displeasurse of the
house is manifest in silence. Away
goes the bore and another speaker

CATTLE Thief IS SLAIN
BY DEPUTY SHERIFFs

A dispatch from Austin says
that in running fight with three
mounted deputy sheriffs, C. F.
Flash. an alleged cattle thief, was
slot to death late last Thursday
afternoon in the low foothills of
Lander county, forty miles from
Austin. His dead body was found
early Friday morning by Bob
Dixon, rancher. In a wagon
that had been driven by Flash
many articles recently reported by
farmers to have been stolen, were
recovered. One of the horse driven
by Flash was killed by the hail of
bullets.
Flash has been suspected of
cattle stealing and was tracked by
Deputy Sheriffs Louis Lees. Albert
La Boud and John Bryant, who
crossed his track on the main road
near the hills. A fight ensued that
lasted throughout the afternoon.
When darkness came the officres
retired for more ammunition in
tending to resume the battle in the
morning. Some of their shots had
taken effect. however, and Flash
died alone on the trail during the
night.
