. - Captured a Cowboy. .
-An amusing incklent U reported
from Union avenue Bays the Kansas
City Globe, which illustrates the de
generacy .of thu cowboy, and what a
ittle man may accomplish if he has
his lerve with him. A bont2 o'clock
in the afternoon some time ago Sam
Frank waa" sitting' in front of his
place of business eating an apple.
Sam' was voting man,; twentytwa
Tears of age, ami weighs 105 pounds.
tie was evidently feeling unusually
frisky, and, casting his eye down the
?treef, ho noticed the cowboy ap
proaching. The 6tranger was 6 feet
tall, weighed at least 200 . pounds,
and was clad in full cowboy regalia.
Consisting of a wide-brimmed white
hat, somewhat the worse for wear, a
blue 6hrt, which was tucked under
his pants at the waist, aronnd which
was a belt holding tw.o murderous-
looking revolvers.
The guns were - fctnek into the
stranger's leather belt, giving him
the appearance of a walking arsenal.
Corduroy pants and high topped
boots .completed the cowboy's outfit
As the native of the plains swaggered
past the little man, the latter sud
denly fired the apple at him, striking
him sharply on the left ear. "The
cowboy turned toward his assailant,
who sprang from the Feaf, and, seiz
ing the two revo:vcrs,-gnatched them
from the astouiched stranger' belt
' Didn't I. warn yu never to come
to Kansas City again carrying cod
realed weapons ?" angrily asked
Frank. "1 am a United States officer.
Oome with me; you are my pris
oner.'1 "
To the surprise of ajlpxen listen
ers, the apparently thoroughly scjared
cowboy allowed himself to be led
into asaloonNand to be cast into a
back room, which his captor an
nounced was a cell. A few minuteB
later when search was made for the
stranger, he could not be found. lie
ha' escaped dpwni?t. Louis avenue
through a window. A strange fea
ture of the story is that the cowboy
was perfectly Bober, having just ar
rived, in the citv. . The revolvers are
of Colt and Smith & Wesson manu
facture and of 44 calibre. The
owner may recover his property by
caJlin? utton the little man who s
snccssfully canied out, the
practical joke of the peaton.

Time For Reform.
When a human-being has debased
himself to the extent that a bird of
prey mistakes him for a dead body, it
is time for reform to begin in his plau
of life. A man in a beastly state of
ntoxication was lying, in a fence
corner, wuen a buzzard X
when a buzzard ihat
W8

sight of him and drew near, to take
observatioL8. X
