Mark OF Eeotlsm.

Boastfuless Is by no means the only
way in which egotism Is revealed,
There are numerous little telltale
signs, knowledge of which is distinct
" useful in social and business re-
lations.
An egotist, for example, Is commonly
poor listener in a conversation.
Because of undue eagerness to ex-
press his ideas he Is prone to interrupt
Anybody who may be speaking
Whether he assent or dissent from
what Is being said, he finds 1t hard
to let the speaker finish.
Often this Is charitably ascribed to
mere lack of good manners, overen-
thusiasm or nervous uneasness. But
nine times out Of ten egotisn is at the
bottom Of it.

SHOOTING AT ISOLINE
Deputy Houston Henry Shoots Man and
Woman While Anesting Them.

Friday shooting scrape took place
at lsoline which resulted in Herbert
Whitaker and Margaret Neeley both
being shot with fine shot by Deputy
Houston Henry, when they resisted
arrest.
1t seems that Whitaker and the wo-
man came to Isollse from Monterey
and as Whitaker wss drunk and rowdy
he began shooting up ings generally.
He fred one or mere snots in the post
Office and run most of those present
away.
Deputy Sheriff Henry gave his pistol
to Whitaker by mistak king him fer An
officer, when Whitt-ker came out of
the store and remarked: "He is in
there, give me your lIstul and l will
bring nm out. Dep4ts Henry quick.
ty saw his mistake al, tried to get the
pistol rom Whitaker, ut he refused
to give it up and started toward the
mine tipple quarter or half mile
away.
Deputy Henry secured a bouble-bar-
relied shotgun which was loaded with
fine shot. He summoned James Tabor
to assist him in arresting Whitaker
and the W womaD. MIR Tabor had buck
shot in his gun. AS they neared the
tipple the Neeley woman saw them and
spoke to Whitaker, who at once
opened fire on the officers. Deputy
Henry fired and staggered Whitaker
who was shooting at him with pistol.
He fired second time and knocked
Whitaker down, the shot hitting him
in the face and breast. The woman
attempted to protect Whitaker by
getting in front of him and was hit
in the right arm with the shot, but
not seriously burt. She afterwards
stated that had she not been shot in the
right arm she would have taken hand
in the shooting also, which she doubt
less would have done as she was found
to have 32-calibre pistol when
searched.
James Tabor snapped both barrels of
his gun at Whitaker, but neither fired
had the gun fired Whitaker would al
most surely have been killed As it
was MIR. Tabor finally made Viii; taker
cease trying to shoot by presentit the
gun at him and 1T threatening instant
death unless Whitaker ceased shoot
ing.
They were both brought to town Fri
day night and were tried before ESQ.
o. B. Rector Saturday. Whitaker
was bound to court In the sum of S., $50
and the woman $3.50. Neither will
likely be able to make bond.
1t seems that Whitaker is bad
character of several years standing.
1t is charged that he killed the mar
shal at Monterey two or three years
ago and that he is now wanted on
ponds that he has forfeited in Putnam
county.
The woman is said to be a very bad
character. She is about "a years of I
age and seems thoroughly hardened S
and lost to all sense of good behavior. {
