A Rnd Itr«'«l4 for a Railroa^pr.
An affair occurred upon the streets
of Lexington the early part of the
week which at first seemed to be of
a serious nature, but in a few min- ;
utes showed its comical side. It
seems that a man who has for some
time been employed at railway work
in the Indian Territory came to the
conclusion that he needed a brief re-
spite from his incessant toil, and ia
order to enjoy his vacation to the
best possiblo advantage came and con-
cluded to tarry in our city. Lexing-
ton has a great reputation among tho
people across the river as a health re-
sort. as is daily evidenced by the
largo number that is constantly pass-
ing to and fro. Our hero, being short
