will bo held, as tho County Com t or
dered tlio Sheritr to provido rooms.
Sheriff Frame says that it is utterly Im
possible to secure suitablo rooms for
tlio Circuit Court. Now if tho County
Court was unable to secure ti ro.ims,
how could tho sheriff do so? It is our

She Got tho ''Drop" on Him.
Quito mi amusing scene took place at
Sheriff Frame's rosidimco Friday night
which illicit have resulted In something
more serious. The circumstance of
tliu affair iu detail aro about us follows:
It seems that the Sheriff had business
nt Muitlaud on last Friday which would
detain him there until the next day,
(Saturday) and consequently told Mrs.
Fraino that she would have to remain at
homo nlouo until lie got back, uud for
her in tlio moaiitiino to keep a watch
for thieves or burglars who might
give her call nud take advantage of his
absence. Everything went well until
12 o'clock Friday night whon Sheriff
Frame having finished his business in
MaltlaHd sooner than lie expected-returned
homo, and not wIMiiug to dis
turb his wife's slumbers, procweded
cautiously to creep around the back
way, when ho was detected by his wife,
who immediately reached under her pil- J
low, pulled forth a pistol and taking
dclihcrato aim at tlio .supposed burglar, .
sho fired. If a cyclono had btruck Hilly
bo couldn't have been more biirpiisi'd,
Without Hiylii!! a word ho Immediately j
started in tlio direction of tlio shot. Hut
ho hadn't gone far before liu saw tlio
glittering barrel ot a pistol through tho
window of his wife's bod room. Sho
was just preparing to draw unolhev
"bead" on him, nud Hilly hearing tho
suggestive click, click, of tho pistol,
thought it was about tiino ho wns defin
ing himself, which ho Old ituiiicdhtoly
and In a very satisfactory manner,
Sho soon recognized his voice nnd think
ing sho had surely hit her husband, foil
back on her bed iu iv fainting condition,
Ho soon restored hor to consciousness,
howover, nnd n mutual explanation
took place ; but It was hard to toll for n
while who was tho worst soared, hus
band or wife Hilly says his wife got
the "drop'' on him for once and that
hereafter ho will ring tho front door bell
when coming homo of nights.
