Yesterday a man boarded an Illi- nois Central passenger train atGrand Rivers, and soon attracted the atten- tion of all the passengers aboard. This was not because of his appear- ance, nor of any peculiarity of de- meanor or action but because he car- ried with him a cradely constructed wooden cage containing six coal black cats and several felines almost sable in hue. This man lidn’t belie looked mad, and he his looks, for he was } mad. His feelings just then were any- thing but pleasant, anything but to trifle with, and when Conductor Bud O'Bryan questioned him the story was Soon out. The man’s name is Herman Gla- zier, and he buys up hides, poultry. eggs, and such products of the agri- cultural regions. He struck Grand Rivers day be- fore yesterday, and after making a number of purchases announced to a crowd of farmers that he wanted fifty black cats, and would pay $2 cash for them, When asked him what he with them, as what nine men out of every ten would invariably do, he aughingly replied that he ‘wanted hem to teh McKinley's back.’’ old fellow took it seriously, however. His name was M. Gray, and after scouring the country for about a dozen mile he succeeded in finding but six perfectly black ones. He came across several others with but few white hairs on their anato- mies, however, and took the too, thinking that perbaps th lo as well. When Farmer Gray brought in the cats, Huckster Glazier was over- whelmed with surprise, and tried to explain that he was only joking, but the old fellow would listen to nothing of the kind. He got rip-snorting mad and attempted to get out a war- rant against Glazier. ‘The matter was compromised by the huckster paying $12 for the six lines, and then the people of nd Rivers, who sided with the honest, unsuspecting old farmer in the affair, made him take them out of town with him. He had them when he got on the train, and took them away with him when the train reached Kuttawa, He confidentially told Lineman O,Bryan, of the Postal Telegraph Company, that he would never try to get that cat joke again, never— especially around Grand Rivers.

The authorities did not know how to proceed, however, as the sick man was too ill to come to court, and the court could not legally come to him. But finally the emaciated form was wrapped in bed clothing and brought into court to speak the words that would send his own father to the penitentiary. Without his evidence there was no proof that any money had been stolen. When Smith was brought in, bow- ever, Judge Campbell, the defend- ant’s lawyer, quickly woived exami- nation, which legally precluded the hearing of Smith’s testimony. The technicality was dispensed with, ho w- ever, and Smith’s testimony was beard.

If he were ‘Kid, Kid was on the “hog.’” He perambulated the platform with a pugilistic swagger, and struck sev- eral people for the price of a meal, and wanted a conductor or two to give him a ticket on the ‘blind bag- gage,”’ but the slugger didn’t even a pleasant look.
