Geor, Sauders (said to be a son of ex- ders), chairman of the Mayor's re committee, undertook to read a list of the invited guests und to make portenously long speech, which was sufliciently amusing in its blunders, but otherwise an afliction which was caleulated to make every person 1n the audience feel a senso of partnership in the sutlerings of the people of Michi- wan. , There remained a further affl - tion, however, to be imposed by Mr. Sanders, which was altogether 1- lous and to be regretted, in that it not only wnnoyed the aadience but embarrassed Mine, Patti. After Mme. Patti had sung the aria from “Di rah,” sho was recalled several times. On the last necasion Mr. Sanders came forward, carrying in one hand a large groen wreath decorated with streamers of red, white, and blue, aud in the othera silk flag. Approaching Mme. Patti, and disrogarding the hisses, Isughter, and jeers of the audience, he eaid, “Tam now ealled upon towdd ono moro to the muny laureisyou have won, and with this wreath, in tho vame of Lis honor, the mayor, to crown you empress of eong of both continents.” This specch ended, Mr | Sanders endeavored to put the wreath over Mue Patti's lead. Bya very natural impulso, for tho wreath was of overwholming proportione, sheavoided him, He persisted, the nudience ro- peating and redoabling its laughter and hisses. At lust, to escapo, Mme, Patti darted off the stage, Mr. Sund- ors started off in hasty pursit, with the s'reamers of hin gayly decorated wreath flying in the air. ~ Mayor Grace ed Sanders frantically by the cont and tried to hold him “fast, but he broke away, and disappoared sudden ly, to the rexpressiblo disgust of the sudience, When Mr. Sanders veap- peared there were hisses all over the hall, and cries of “‘Put tho fool out,’ and © We've had enough of that.” No fashionablo gathering over more plain ly exprossed the annoyance it had felt than did theone which finally succeed- ed in hissing Mr. Sanders down.

James Jameson Shot and Killed by One Henry Coyne Sidney legraph, On Tuesday night at 10:30 o'clock our town was agzain startled by the eharp report of three pistol shots, and our reporter at once hastened to the spot from which they emanated. The shooting affair occurred in the saloon of Jack Haynes on Roso street, James v wd a cheap novel, | Jamenon and Henry Coyne being the participants, Both of them were em- ployed in the cattle business, and worked for Newman, Hunter & Co., on Running water. The circum- stances of the whole affair, as near as wo conld learn, aro aa follows: Both parties, Jameson and Coyne, were under the influence of liquor all day, when in tho evening they et each other in a saloon on Front strect, where they immedintely began wrestling one another, all in a joking manner. Coyne, although, took the mattor seriously, pulled out his six shooter and n!rlch Jameson cn the head, infiicting an awful gash. Upon this, Jameson's friends took him to )r. Solomon to have his wound drosa- od and urged him to go to bed. Jame- son becamo very abusive after this and awore if he met Coyne, he would shoot the son , Jameson rushed to the dopot, where he had his baggage transferred, as he intended to leave or Texns on the evening train, open- cd his trunk, took out his rovolver, loaded it to the muzzle and atarted back in town to find “loyne. In com- pany with another man, he went to the O. K. saloon and while taking a drink at the bar, Coyno stepped in and without saying & word, drew his rovolver and inmediately began firing at Jameson; the concussion of the pistol extinguishing all the lights in tho saloon. Coyne st this ran out of the saloon, when the lights were ro-lit and Jameson was ruumfl,-mg on the floor mortally wounded. Doctors Maple, Kimball, and Solomon wero immediately called and at once pro- oeeded to examine the wounded man. ‘The ball had pussed into the blad- der and is gaid to have lodged in the pelvis. Aftor examining him ho was conveyed to the Metropolitan hotel, where hie expired at 7 o'clock the next ning. No statement could be ob- tained from lhim, owing to his uncon- scious condition. Poov fellow, ha wan going home to Texas to soo his rolatives, whom ho had not seen for sleven years, His old widowed moth- er will be waiting at the door to hear his gentlo foot stups, but alas, he will not como. May God have merey on ay his soul “‘Requiescat in The murderer, after being held by several citizens for about half an hour, was turned loose and escaped. No officers, nor any of the sheriff’s strikers, could bo found in town after the occurrence, which secms very strango for a town of our size. A Jarge posso started out on Friday morning in pursuit of Coyne, and the chances are that if he is caught he will faro very roughly, and probably be treated to a necktie party. Poar on 0il.” L. 1.

The Enterprire says that when the coflin was ready to be re- moved from the graveit was discovered that the body was petrified, and re- quired tho united cfiores of four men to raiso it, and could not have weighed less than four hundred, although in life sho would not have weighed more than 120 pounds. ‘Tho clothing was decayed und resembled a veil-liko texture overthe boay.
