During the course of a trial at Woodward Oklahoma, one day last week a witness admitted to the presiding judge that he had a revolver in his pocket, and the court fined him $25. The local paper says : “When the judge fined Tom Word for carrying a gun every other man in the court roqm sat erect and smooth ed his coat tails down to hide his armument. When a recess was taken every man made for the nearest outlet and “hid out” his battery. Best estimates place the number of guns in the court room at the time at about two wagon loads.” While secretary of the Prus sian legation as Frankfort, Bis mark a tended a ball at which was present a certain Mr, De Clancy, a noted duelist, of pom pous and self sufficient manners, who in dancing held his hat at arm’s length. The spectacle had for Bismark a comic side of the dancing evolutions he dropped a coin m the hat. The next day he was called out and a duel with pistols followed, Bismark remaining unhurt while his ad versary was wounded. The white-washing committee excludes reporters on the flimsy pretext that the room in which its sessions are held is teo small.
