The great "briStle count" was at
last brought to a close last Friday,
Feb. IS, and all the round table sat
breathless waiting for the judges
report. A great cheer which nearly
removed the great plate window,
arose as Kinney was given the unan-
imous vote Of the three judges,
Kinney attributed his victory to
the fact that domestic tranquility
reigned supreme at his household,
for until "a hours before the close
of the contest, even his staunchest
supporters could see nothing but
defeat. But in the meantime Herm
Ring had a slight alteration with
the better seven-eighths of his
domicile, which resulted in a mark
ed decrease in his hirsute adorn-
ments, and it may be necessary for
him to shave off the balance. Kin
ney thanked the round table for its
loyal support with tears in his voice
and even Vic Medley's face relaxed
and the members marvelled at hav-
ing at last seen him smile.
Kite Metcalf, the squire of Wild
cat Hollow, appeared in person at
the round table last Saturday night.
and held it's members spellbound
for half hour, by "reminiscences
and anecdotes of his romantic life.
Kite affirms that at the time OF his
settlement in that wild and DESC
late region, it was useless to keep
clock in the house as it could not
be heard striking above the sound
of rattlesnakes outside. All his pigs
were carried away by wolves and
he himself was thrice rescued from
Indians by Dave Coulson. He also
recalls when Star tobacco first ap-
peared and shoe strings sold by the
yard.
