Archie Urabatap, the somewhat eccentric actor who sojourned in this city during the spring and winter just past, left for Pueblo, Colo., Friday evening, where he joined the Si Perkins Per-kins company. To say that Archie's farewell appearance ap-pearance here was greeted by a flash and a roar of a detonating cap would not be far from the truth. To say that, but for the interposition of a kindly Fate, Archie might have been wafted hence in a highly atomized state, and that as a consequence Si Perkins would have had some difficulty difficul-ty in materializing his Irishman, would also be in close proximity to the truth. Archie had been carrying in his vest pocket for some time past a little copj er-colored dynamite cap, aminu-turti aminu-turti infernal machine as big around as a lead pencil and an inch long. Most people would consider a scorpion as pleasant a pocket piece as that cap, but Archie's fondness for the society of the latter must be listed as one more, of his little eccentricities. On the occasion under discussion. Mr. Grahatr.e was at the R. G. W. depot and was attending to some formalities for-malities necessitated by the transfer of a ticket from the possession of the railway company to himself, ile bad just, signed the ticket, and in the act of dropping his arm to its natural position placed it in cl se proximity to that vest pocket wherein dwelt the cap. Perhaps he smote Hi'.' pocket lightly, just to see if the cap wiis there. It was, but didn't stay long. It departed, after a very explosive and evidently profane remark, for the open air in the direction of the least resistence, rending in its hasty journey Archie's vest, coat, coat sleeve and arm. This little scene caused quite a ripple of excitement at the depot), A shadow of annoyance stole ovec Agent Thompson's placid countenance, counten-ance, and .tbbaggagaipiasher about their duties on the far side of the building until Mr. Grahame had left. The wound in his arm was slight and Archie soon patched i' up, a tailor patched up the rest of him, and he departed for Pueblo that night as per schedule. Archie will be missed around town. He had a certain ability as an actor, and certainly did his best to amuse people while he was hen?. Perhaps he did not always meet with the success suc-cess he deserved. At any rate, no one will wish liini ill. and many wish him success with Si Perkins. Vale! A Barrel of W hisky.
