the river, thus appropriating all the water

the Arkansas valley. Mr. West claimed

are deprived of the waters of the Arkansas

An oldcrly woman, reserved and dlpnl
ucd, her snow white hair crowned with a
little black bonnet, rushed into the olbce
or the Schlltr hotel yesterday morning, fol
lowed by her two daughters. She leaned
feebly against the counter and. as she In
quired for the manager, It was seen that
she was ghastly pale.
"I am the mauugor. madam. What can
I do for you?" asked Mr. Cllne, standing to
attention.
The woman made a suddon grab for her
skirts.
"Oh. it's alive! It's alive!" she gasped.
The two younRer women moved toward
her as If to offer assistance, then thought
better of It and withdrew to u safe distance,
whence they screamed the Information that
a horrid mouse had crawled up under their
mother's skirts.
Manager Cllne was equal to the emerg
ency. He set about the task as though he
had nerved an apprenticeship at extracting
mice from women's garments. Stepping
from behind the counter, he asked the
woman to locate the trouble.
"It's crawled up here now," she faltered,
Indicating a point in the cardiac region.
Manager Cllne waited until be detected

waist, then aolrod the animated fubric and
worked the soft, squirming bunch toward
the buttons in the front of the garment.
A moment later he was whirling the rodent

fainted.
It was afterwards explained that the
mouse bad takon refuge under the bklrts of
the estimable old woman while she and her
daughters were eatliifr breakfast in the

The first day of the trial he repeatedly
interrupted the lawyers, talked back to
the Judge and refused to sit down until
forced to do so by the bailiff. He was
plainly annoyed by the authority and su
perior force of the bailiff, and bethought
himself of a plun to overcome what he
considered a handlcup.
The second morning of the trial Nagel
appeared with a hickory club at big as a
ball hat and walked about the court room
with the air of a man with a chip on his
shoulder, eyeing the bailiff closely und ex
pressing without words what appeared to
be a challenge to the ofheer to attack him.
As the trial proceeded Nagel Interrupted
repeatedly, and presently ho was warned
by the Judge to keep quiet or he would
be ejected from the room

proceedings again. Judge Dickinson made
good his promise, by directing the bailiff
to put the plaintiff out of the room.
