not yet closed. From the machina vhich

Some idea of the number of matches used

right in the midst Of the trial of 4
cause, he asked the attorneys 70 %
pend few moments, and told the sheriff "a
lock the court house door and let no man
pass out without permission from him. Then
said the judge, in his firm, decided way:
Gentlemen, I sew pistol on man in this
room few moments ago, and cannot
reconcile it to my sense Of duty as peace
officer to let such violotion Of the law pass
unnoticed. It may be that it is my duty to
go before the grand jury and indict him, but
II that man will walk up to { his stand and
lay his pistol and fine of one dollar down
here will let him off this time, otherwise l
will go before the grand jury and testify
against him.
The judge paused, and an attorney who
was sitting down Just before the stand, got
up, slipped his hand in his hip pocket. drew
out neat, ivory handled Smith & Wesson
slx-shooter, and laid 81 down before the
judge.
This is all right remarked the Judge:
but you are not the man saw with tho
pistol.'' - '' ~
At this another attorney, sitting immedi-
ately IN front of the Judge, got up, and.
drawing out small Colts revolver, laid it
ana VI bill upon the stand.
"Ihls is right again" said the judge; t'but
You are not the man speak off,
Ihereupon large man Just outside of the
bar walked around, ran his hand into his
bosom, and, drawing out huge old army
pistol, laid it and one dollar on the stand.'''

don't beat all; you have done RIGHT, nv
TREND; out you are not the man saw with
This process went on until nineteen pistols
and nineteen dollars were lying on the
Judges stand. Then there was pause, and
it appeared as if the crowd were pretty well
dlsarmed; at least, if there were any more
pistols in the house their owners did not
seem disposed to give them up.
"Gentlemen," resumed the Judge. "here
are nineteen persons who have acted like
men in this business, but the man that
saw with the pistol has not come up vet;
and now, continued he, pulling out his
watch and looking toward the far side of the
court house, II will give him one minute to
accept my proposition, and if he does not do
1t IN that time, will point him out to the
sheriff and order him to take him into
CUSTODY '~
Immediately two men from the back part
OF the house began to move toward the
Judges stand. Once they stopped and
looked at each other, and then, COM
ing slowly forward, laid down
their pistols and their dollars. As they turn
ed to leave the judge said; ''This man with
the black whiskers is the one that 1 saw
with the pistol.''
Then Judge Lester gave a short lecture
upon the cowardly, foolish and wicked habit
OF carrying concealed weapons, and assured
his audience that in the future the law would
be strictly enforced. The court proceeded
with its regular business, and it is needless
to add that in that county the habit of car
rying pistols was broken up.
