Show BagqaqeSmasuinq. A revengeful tiave;cr on a certain raiiroad in this State packed a carp, t-bag full of revolvers re-volvers and gave it to a gentlemanly baggage smasher, who had ruined three or four trunks for him already. The smasher flung the bag up against the wall savagely, and then threw it on the floor and stamped upon it and jumped up and down upon it as uiUal. About the fourth jump firing began along the whole line. Forty-six revolvers re-volvers went off in rapid succession, distributing bullets along the car with disgusting carelessness, hitting the legs of the smasher, who was shot in six places before he could get out of the car. He rode upon the platform during dur-ing the whole of the trip, and when he did enter the car he encased his leg in a stovepipe, and run an iron-clad snow plow iu front of him to push the baggage bag-gage out with. He smashes, perhaps, lower carpet bag-t now than he did in the pa-t much fewer and he is filled with horror. The only boon he craves is that be may be present when the carpet-bag owuer calls with his check. He says there will be a conflict which will make the European war appear ridiculous. S F- Figaro. |
