PAT. MIKE IN ONE PERSON.:
 H|S COMEDY

Pat Michael O'Brien is one Harp who enjoys a good joke, even though he is the central and ridiculous figure of it.
 Arrested at Seligman for sporting deputy sheriff's badge, he embark ed on a career as a prisoner that is fit only to be embalmed in the vaudeville skits that Pat makes a liv- ing by writing. Now that he is out of jail, and once more a free man he is negotiating with local theatrical talent for the production of one of his short comedies for the benefit of the Red Cross.
 Pat was entertaining when he got i into this mess. He was the Sheriff in the Shooting of Dan McGrew. He then became a prisoner. Being known in Seligman, he was not locked ir the jail with the two thieves" He was left in the unlocked office. Just over the door of the jail room was the key thereto.
 In the course of the evening a railroad officer came in and left his six-shooter. Don't leave that with me-" stated MT. O'Brien. The of ficer looked him over scornfully ana guessed he could trust his AS with O'Brien, and walked out.
 The two prisoners then began i'm portuning O'Brien to let them out They pointed out that he would gel two years in jail and a fine of $5,0OC for impersonating an officer, and he might as well join with them, grat the gun and take it on the run. Coming down to Prescott, O'Brier enjoyed the trip, as he told an inter ested lady passenger, flor his health. He was not hand-cuffed as the other two were.
 Once in the jail, Pat saw the frs workings of the prison. He was tip ped off by a former flying corp: man, fellow aviator, who is serving term for white slavery, about this kangaroo court, and when his time came to be sentenced for breaking into the jail, he cheerfully planked down an order for his fine.
 The eats were good, and Thanks. giving dinner was enlivened by . general debate over the outlook foi Thomas Burge, whose jury was out at that time.
 Exercise in the county jail is taker by means of the morning and after noon walk. Around the table i'll the tank 83 times is one mile, and the prisoners, led by Frank LaGrang' and including as Pat says, murder CTS, would-be murderers, white slavers, burglars and bootleggers take up the tramp and go wheeling around the tank until "this Mick haC to join in or go playhouse"
 When confronting the county at Itorney with his story-having beer in jail long enough to enjoy the ex perience-the prisoner was asked hi Iname.

RADICALISM

It required all day Friday for the selection of the jury that is to try D. O. Dunn on a charge of attempt ed bribery of a witness. Judge Sweeney, who had listened to the in terrogatories of the state and de- fense for some hours, and noted repetition of questions, was moved to remark that it had required unusually long to arrive at the point where the jury could be struck by the two sides. He then announced that court would open the next day an hour earlier, so that this morning the case will be resumed with the taking of the first testimony at the hour of 8, which, in the opinion of some court attaches should be classed as "unearthly.'
