Shuford made all manner of
statements. Henderson pinned him
down and showed where he was
wronsr, then asked him if he knew
better why he did not tell the peo-
pie, and if he didn't know any bet
ter he was too ignorant to repersent
any intelligent people any where. It
is said that Shuford was hacked un
to death. And it is reasonable too.
for he's a weak piece of flesh. In the
sight of some people he is an angel,
so to speak.

were evidently striving to get a mors

The ordinanc prohibiting hotel

nuisance at the depot in feshing up
to the cars when, a train . co:n33 io
and soliciting patronage in' a boister
ous, hurrylike fashion, has for some
time been violated to no little ex
tent, but Chief Boger has put a stop
to it for a time at least.
Friday night while beating areund
the depot he witnessed ' this great
nusiance and told the" boys to ap
pear at the Mayor's ""court, .his,
Saturday: morning. Four of the.
porters 'appeared and submitted,
paying a fine of $5.35 each.
The deauline is there and when' it
iTcrosseby the porters, they con-r
fuse and worry the passengers no
little, and we approve of the efforts,
being made to stop it.
