clothes belonging to another man,
He was followed and captured a
Schell City. When taken back to
Rockville the charge against him
was dismissed upon his paying for
the garments and he was discharged.
But his troubles were not yet over.
Before he could get out of town
some, irate citizens caught him and
administered a severe flaggelation
with cowhides because of slanderous
utterances it. was alleged be had
made against the character of a
young lady living in that town.

The gratifying news corueB from
Texas that the managers of the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmons
fight have meta
phorically thrown up their hands to
the Texas authorities. Gov. Cul
bersou settled the matter by telling
the Dallas County Sheriff to shoot if
necessary. The thugs do not fancy
facing "Winchesters with Texans be
hind them and have concluded that
Texa soil is not suitable for prize
rings.
As the first newspaper to make a
vigorous protest against the propo
sition to bring Texas into discredit
by making it the rendezvous of
prize-fighters and blacklegs, the
Post-Dispatch applauds the vigor of
the Texas authorities and congratu
lates the Texas people. The con
clusion of the affair is honorable to
the State and will enhance its repu
tation among decent people every
where. But the fight against puggism is
not yet closed. It is announced that
the prize-fighters and their gang will
slip into Indian Territory and hold
the slugging match there. What
have the United States authorities
to say to this proposition? Is Indian
Territory to be made the convenient
resort of the prize-ring fraternity
now that the states are closed against
thee! Are the Indians to be taught
the ways of civilization by sluggers,
toughs and blackguards?
Indian Territory is bad enough
now. It is the lust refuge of des
peradoes, and if it is to be turned
into a resort of pugs we would just
as well quit try is g to civilize the In
dians and fenoe off the Territory aa
a damping place for the scorn of the
country.

She Curt-' Him of Poker-
New York Herald: Let me tell
you how I cured Osy of poker play
ing," said the garrulous little joker
tapping the piazza steps with httr
daintily 6hod foot.
"It was shortly after marriage
that poker habit developed, and
night after night 1 waB left alone
until unearthly hours. One night I
lay awake counting the clock strike
one, two, three, and no Osy in sight.
" 'This thing has got to stop, I
said. In the bureau drawer was a
roll of prepared mustard plaster. I
cut off a big square, moistened it
and laid it under the sheet on Osys
side of the bed.
" 'If he hasn't been drinking too
much,' I reasoned, 'he will discover
it and the joke will be on me. If
he has imbibed too freely, be will
roll into bed and fall asleep.'
"At a quarter of four hia roval
, highness appeared, much the worse
for the night's game. He was scon
fast asleep, while I waited, delighted
at the success of the ruse until con
science began to prick.
"The next mornincr I was awaken
ed by a piteous cry, 'O, my back,my
back: I never had such a pain.
How in the d I did I get it?'
"Poor Osy pranced about like an
infurated lion. His back was one
huge, red blister."
"Did he play poker again?'
"No,"' said the little joker. "Not
for two weeks."

Released After 3Iany Yearn.
Denver Col., Aug. 31 Henry J.
Tyson, who, in July, 1889, was sen
tenced to death for killing John
King in May of that year, was to
day released from custody after one
of the most remarkable legal wars
eyer waged for a condemed man.
Both men lived in Omaha, whence
King and Mrs. Tyson eloped to
Denver. Tyson followed and killed
King.
He was convicted of murder and
twice sentenced to be hanged, twice
tried for sanity, and for three yean
he lay in solitary confinement in the
cell for the condemned at the Canon
City penitentiary, having been de
clared insane. To-day Judge Butler
accepted a plea of involuntary "man
slaughter, and sentenced Tyson to
one day's imprisonment.
