volver which he held in his hand and

it several times. Tho singular part of
the encounter was that Williams gun
also refused TO work.
Earlier in the night Williams found
Uranium in which he said was a half
drunken condition. Ho warned him
that 1t would be best for him TO go
homo. ana Uranium promised to do so.
However. he did not. and was later
seen by tho officer behaving in dis
orderly manner AS he approached
Uranium muttercd an oath and swore
TINT he would Kill him. Mt the same
time drawing his pistol, and tanning
it against Wnliams breast. attempted
TO fire it, Williams was equally as
quick In covering Uranium. and the
fact that aoth weapons failed TO shoot
no doub, saved both from being mort
ally wounded.
When he found his gun would not
work. Uranium took to his heels and
outdistanced the officer. The. latter
went to tho First Police Station and
sworo out n warrant for his arrest

If you can think and not make

If you can meet with Triumph and

And treat these two imposters Just

If you can bear to hear the truth

Twisted by knaves to make trap

Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn out tools;
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the

If neither foes nor loving friends
can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none

if you can fill the unforgiving min

Yours is the Earth and everything

And, what is more, you'll be Man,
