it,”  said  the  soldier.  “I  want  ’em 
green.”

“Why  do  you  eat  green  ’simmons?”  said 
old  Blue  Light.

“To  draw  my  stomach  up  to  fit  my  rations,”

Doctor  Mary  Walker  has  been  detained  by

endurance  in  that  state.  No  specific  charges 
have  been  preferred  against  her.  Mary  wears

The  Cottage  saloon  was  burglarized  Thurs- 
day night.  Fred  Shelton  had  fortunately  clean- 
ed up  the  cash  drawer  before  leaving  for  the 
night,  and  but  $2  in  change  was  secured  by 
the  thieves,  besides  all  the  whiskey  and  cigars 
they  required.  The  front  door  was  forced  open, 
after  an  attempt  to  enter  the  saloon  from  the 
side  entrance  had  proven  a failure.  There  is 
no  clue  to  the  thieves.
