wife button hook, several skeleton keys, a file, and some candles.
One !f theni also carried a hew testament filorig with him to cheer

McNutt had a receipt for a registered letter sent from Carlton,'
but he denies that he was ever there. He was hot aware, howev
er; that the officials had his receipt from the pobtoffice for a pack

the handle hit the top of the chopping block, causing the blade to
fly wide of its mark and hit his thumb. Dr. Robinson dressed the
wound, and Mr. Poison is getting better. He states he has been
in many very dangerous places for 20 years in the mines, and nevT
er had an accident, but he is grateful that the ax didn't strike hip
wrist!
