A DIFFICULTY IN WHICH KNUCKLEs
A N D PTCHFoRKs PREDoMINATE..-
kNUCKLEs AHEAD Last Monday
night Mr.. Moore, one of Fairbanks
hands, returned home from a brief alb
sence and got permission from head
quarters to put his horse into barn
occupied by Mr.. Livingston. the out
door boss of the scale works. Very
innocently Mr. Moore put up his horse
and left the barn. A while after
wards, as he happened to pass the
barn in company with one Mr. Chubb,
he discovered bis horse hitched out
side, and his wagon run out from the
she'd. They entered to replace things,
when Mr.. Livingston. who is "a pom
derous body, stepped out Of the house
and after brief Introduction gently
led Chubb out of the yard and re-
turned to profer Mr.. Moore similar
assistance. But Moore not being well
halter broke, would not lead but rear
ed up and frisked round generally, to
the great bewilderment of the out
door boss, who now proceeded, u ct
arms in real earnest to heave the in
subordinate Moore out of the yard.
A clinch followed and both parties
came to the ground, Mr.. Livingston
selecting a very firm position directly
underneath Mr.. Moore. Livingston
then introduced the second act III the
drama by rushing into the barn and
returning with a pitchfork with the
apparent intent of pitching Moore
over the fence into the street This
method of transportation seemed ir-
regular and disagreeable to Moore,
who put a veto on it by letting fly
simultaneously his right and left into
Livingston'8 peppers, closing one and
considerably blurring vision in the
other. While Livingston was medi-
tating on the points of compass, Moore
left the stage, and the curtain fell
leaving the "out-door boss" to contem-
plate the fearful consequences of coun-
teracting permit from headquarters.
