HORSE ALIENS FIRST COURT.

Judge Allen, or as he is commonly called,
"Horse AIlen,' soon after his appointment as
Judge, visited the court seat in Gasconade,
Missouri. There had been several violations
Of the law in the section, and the " horse u
was determined that punishment should be in
flicted. Accordingly, upon his arrival, after
sheriff, jury and witnesses had assembled, the
first order of the court was that each and all
should strip themselves and go to work and
raise suitable tenement in which 10 hold It's
meetings. This was the first building erected
for such purposes in the country. Well, after
hard work, anumber of logs piled up together
were made to answer the purpose desired
The court had come to order, and was pro-
ceeding with its legitimate business, when
some evil-disposed person interrupted the pro-
ceeIings, and insultcd his " honor" by the ut
terance of some broad and ungentlemanly re-
marks. The sheriff was going on with his
business, calling the names of the Jury, when
he was interrupted by the Judge, with the Or
der to adjourn the court for fifteen minutes,
sageIy observing :: that he thought it would
take about that time to complete the joJ."
The court adjourned, the Judge descended
from the bench, at the same time drawing his
bowie knife, and advancing upon The fellow
who interrupted the business OF the law. The
Judge, however, found that his antagonist was
not the man for him, armed as be was; SO
throwing aside his weapon, he pulled off his
coat, and, to use his own words, gave him,
perhaps, the d---st licking he hal in his
life. Putting and blowing with the exercise,
the Judge returned TO the bench, at the eXpira-
ton of the time, and ordered the sheriff to con-
vene the court again. 1t was done; where
