nett sitting on the ground nearby. The sight maddened him and drawing a re- volver he shot and killed him. He was exonerated probably not on the ground that there had been sufficient provo cation for the killing for that has nev- CT vet been determined, but on the ground that Col. Greene believed that he had sufficient provocatiOn.
 Col. Greene was about sixty years of age He was understood to be native of New York, though dispatch from Cananea states that he was born in Wisconsin. He came into the west at the age of seventeen. He was a gov ernment contractor in Kansas and later in Colorado. Then he engaged in min ing and prospecting in Yavapai county with indifferent success and in the eighties went to COchise county and settled along the San Pedro.
 It is said of him that no man who had ever been his friend, either as partner. companion or employe. ever ceased to be his friend. His sudden and great wealth made no change in him but he diffused it freely in be- half of those who had known him in humber days.

STILL HE WASN'T ANGRY.

How to pursuade the blonde della tessen store clerk to remove her hand from the scales when weighing his cheese and bologna. so he could get sixteen ounces to the pound instead or twelve or thirteen, was the problem confronting the man who lunches late at night in his own room, says the New York Times.
 ..Trv a few affectionate little pecks at hoy hand with accompanying compli- mentary remarks and she will let go all right" said an experienced friend.
 The night after receiving that advice inc man asked for a pound of smoked nork tenderloin. AS usual, the blonde roune woman rested her hand on the scales to steady them. and. hesitatingly' the man laid his palm on her stupoy finpers. When he got home half an t,onr later and weighed the pork ten- derloin on his own scales he found that ,o ,ad eleven ounces instead of the GUS ,o,narv thirteen. But. strange to say he was not angry.

ADJUSTMENTS
COLISEUM.

That Canora male quartet helps out a lot at the Coliseum. This is a local organization but it is not to be chased with ordinary home tal- ent." If the young men meet with anything like the reception they have received here, when they go on tour. their fortunes are made.
 Last night they made their second ppearance at the Coliseum. They had some new songs which brought down the house. the applause being greater than they received the night before. They will be on the bill for Sunday and Monday night
 "Paddy's Handcar and Schnitzel- butz' is the principal laugh producer at the Coliseum now. It is the new act of 'Sshady X Schad." put on last evening. and is big improvement over their performance of earlier in the week.
 Manager Reeves has adopted a pol icy of offering something special for each Sunday and Monday evening Not only will he have the Canora quartet tonight and tomorrow night but he will have a famous Nick Carter detective picture entitled The Great Bank Robbery" The special feature he announced for last Sunday night was not presented until an evening or two later. owing to the nOn-arrival of the film. but this time the film is on hand before the an- rouncement is made. so there can be no hitch.
 An act imported from Australia is on the bill for next week. It isn't often that an English or Australian team is so good as to receive offers from American vaudeville managers. King and Lowell took their own country by storm and are scoring a tremendous success in this country Their songs and jokes are so differ ent from those used by American actors that they are indeed a nov city.
 LaFarge & Wilder will be on hand Tuesday evening. with another act that is distinctly out of the ordinary. It Is a tramp act. both the young men being dressed as knights of the road. One draws cartoons while the other lays in a box-car and sings.
 The third attraction is Art Former. an equilibrist. The bill promises to be a top-notcher

His face was furrowed, his skin was scared, and his back was bent. An swers relates. But he chipped away by the roadside with a cherry pla- cidity that attracted the attention of passing tourist.
 How old are you, Methusalah ?" inquired the traveller.
 'I dunno replied the stonebreaker. pausing in his work But I know I be a fearful age"
 Surely you have some idea?"
 The old man shook his head and repeated:
 'I know I be a fearful age"
 Come, we'll reckon it out" said How old were you when you left school?"
 Thirteen"
 Well, and then?"
 Then" replied the veteran, "T worked wi Farmer Giles for eighteen year. Then I wer' waggoner for Squire Tupman for thirty year, an I 'ad a small shop for twenty five year after that. Then I wer wi MT Soones for forty-two year and nine mons, and then wer' barman at the Blue Dragon for twenty-seven year"
 Presently the tourist stopped him. Do you know" he said sarcasti- cally. that, according to your own reckoning. you must be 3s2?"
