There are about a half dozen such characters about town, who are would be toughs and who should be given a few just such lessons as Funk gave Love.

Sam Mitchell deputy marshal of Empire, is playing in hard luck.

About a week ago he attempted to arrest a fellow and the individual objected to the process, and after disarming the officer, gave him a few lessons in the pugilistic art. This was humiliatiner. but not near so agonizing as an occurrence that took place Saturday night. On this occasion Mitchell attempted to arrest John Norton, and the latter dissentcJ, using a gun to make his argument good. Mitchell evidently didn't believe that Norton would shoot, but he learned different when a bullet kissed his cheek and plow ed a furrow, lodging in his neck.

It was a close call, and Mitchell undoubtedly imagined that he heard the napping of angel wings. fm 1 nere are certain people not "very far about here who are making a 'bi racket" about what they are doing in the jewelery line. Judging from the prices they quote on alarm clocks they make them from the "wheels in their head," and the time they keep is just about as reliable. You can't get a good article for nothing. You can't get good clock for nothing you can't get good jewelery for -nothing.

I COULD sell you trash as cheap as any man on earth. I know iust where thev make trash, but can't afford to buy it. Trashy competition always builds up trade for better goods. You get disgusted with cheap, clap trap goods and then you are ready to let me sell you something good My goods are warranted. Mack, the Jeweler.
