Now that I waa bera and my heart

many time and on each occasion tbey
bad been daaued from me tbat I np
Does I feared to be told by Corufnky
tbat all tbis wbicb uiy student bad told
me was mere boncombe: tbat be bad
takra me in, and tbers waa not a word
of trntb in bii story.
"You U probably aay it all s tisane
of lies." I blurted at length, witb diffi

Corufaky, who bad been soared of lute
by bis ill surceases and was not in tbe
beat of bnniors. .
"At any rate, old man, we'll con

"Three bcada ars better tban one,

"I think it is a real cltw, and tbat I
now know what became of my poor fa

couldn't have known tbat we"
"titopl Von forget that we should

Uorofsky.
Then I told them as clearly as I con Id,
and witbont tbs circumlocution that

with, how father had been cruelly

to live in luxury and freedom.

there T"
I reflected a moment "Xo," I said.
"I don't think I did. I'm sore I didn't."

It would be uo trouble to get 10,(Mmj

would bet their last dollar that Bill
Tilghman would tint run from any

He arrested the notorious Bill Doolin.
He was the first Chief of Police of
Perry and Dodge City, Kan. It hap
pened last week that Tilghman ran
for his first time and this is the way
It happened.
He wanted some fish, and took a
stick of dynamite, went V) the creek
lit the fuse threw it into a deep pool
of water where a big school of fish
waa located, ihe family dog' a
small simniet, accompanied him.
One of Fido's accomplishments was
to chase and bring back anything
that bas been thrown into the water,
and perceiving a chance to disting-
ish himself h j r edied Into the water
grabbed, the smoking piece of
dynamite and proceeded as he
had been tauphf, to bring it to his

Tilghman retreated for the first time

Fido; go away!" while Fido frisked
airily ai mg after him, carrying the
dynamite with the spluttering fuse
trailing out behind.

The report of tte grand Jury of
Curry county filed August &, had
this to say of the county treasurer:
"We find said office carelinsly con

the funds collected by the sheriff and
clerk. We believe that the county
court should at the Sep tern l-r term,
take such action as Is necessary in
order that said office should be reg

that the office of orunty treasurer
should be kept open for the transac

I We have lastn bld by reliable
parties that hundreds of pounds of
trout were caught and burn el this
summer at Pelican bay. Tourists
that were stopping there would go
OJt and catch bout-loads of fine trout
when they could not use thorn, and
as tho weather was warm, the fl-h
would soon spoil after Is-ing taken
from the cold water. The only way
they could gel rid of Ihe fish then
was to build large fires and burn

publican. Why is this allowed,
when at the rale fish are being tak
en from Ihe atreams in Klamath
county, it will only ls a matter of
time until there will not be any got

of pounds every day, and throw them
