Charles Lee of Revolution- ary war fame, was a man of wild temper, and one of the most chronic users of oaths the army knew. Judge Breckenridge of Philadelphia print- ed some paragraphs one day that were very offensive to the general, and he promptly issued a challenge, which the judge, a man with a keen sense of humor, refused to recognize Lee secured a horse whip and start- ed to find the judicial enemy. The | judge, however, saw him coming, and ran into a public house and barred the door. Lee paced back and forth outside, screaming oaths and designating the judge as a cow- ard and poltroon. “If you are afraid to be shot, you blankety blank, come out and get whipped,” roared the general. “I never cared for being whipped =| even when I was a boy,” yelled back | the judge, “and, by Jupiter, I ¢| haven’t acquired a taste for it even -| yet.” *| The crowd that had gathered | burst into a roar of laughter, and | the general, seeing he was making ?| himeelf absurd, departed, where- upon the judge came out and calm- ly went his way.

Alcorn, until last summer a_ practicing physician in Grangeville, was here last Saturday from Breckenridge, Texas. The doctor has been practicing medicine at Brecken- ridge, which is in the heart of the oil country. Although Breck- enridge had been booming, Dr. Alcorn said the decline in the price of crude oil, a few months ago, did much to reduce business activity in the town. J. Loyal Adkison, of this city, summoned as a juror in district court last Monday in the case of the state vs. Tipton and Talbott, was fined $10 by Judge Scales for failure to report to the court at the time specified in the sub- poena.
