 As the Judge continued his ob- structive tactics during the speakers s explanation, insisting that it was beg ging the question, the audience in his vicinity took a hand, and told him to go away. He may have been pushed, yea even jostled, by the "crowd he had won over to his side,'' as your informant ayers: but there was no punching" or "slapping of faces" on the street at least, and if the incident reported, by said informant, in Harry Taylor's saloon, was as truthful as the rest of his statement, there are a thousand people ready to declare him vice-president of the Annanias club with good chance of becoming president when the "crazy-horse colonep' ceases to hold down the chair One fellow who makes 1t his business to disturb, otherwise peace full, assemblages, was taken out or the audience by an officer and told to go and not come back unless he wanted to be arrested.
