OF the editor he secured the Iatter's
keys and entered the office. removing
the liquor.
When Treadwell discovered the loss
OF the whiskey he started a search for
Diggins whom he located in the pool
room of Charles Bills. The editor
charged Diggins with taking the liquor
and demanded the keys. Diggins de-
MED possession of the booze and also
that he had the keys.
Treadwell then endeavored to take
the keys away from Diggins by force.
After struggling few minutes they
were separated by Bills.
This so enraged Treadwell that he
drew a 3S cali1bre revolver and fired
at Diggins. The bullet missed the
latter and lodged in the neck of Bills.
Treadwelrs next shot was more ac-
curate and the bullet tore through
Diggins lungs.
While both men are seriously hurt

No inscription CT any sort is to be

Many years ago, in consequence of
commercial panic, there was a severe
run on bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse. when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him OF an expedient. By his
directions, clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in frying pan. paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. Why, they're quite hot,' said
the latter as he took them up "Of
course was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them." thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
