counts Of an exploit by Comanchie
Bill, border character who swag-
gers about Colorado mining camps in
broad brimmed hat, long hair and a
bnckskin suit. Seeing clerk in a
store insult girl, he made her sit OH
the counter while the insulter, coerced
with the proximity Of . six.shooter,
did penance by kissing the soles Of
her shoes. A few days afterwards a
sequel TO this story was printed. The
clerk came across Bill in saloon,
where both were unarmed and the
spectators we're impartial, and coolly
gave him his choice between an apol.
ogy and fight. The desperate tried
in vain to escape, and received
sound thrashing, to which he offered
but feeble resistance.
