To this end they are organizing them

of a quasi political character combining

the departure of Red river steamer

into his pocket, hired the fastest

found a crowd under a tree, and
in the circle was the prisoner

mitted a heinous offense. The
crowd had started to hang him,
but several citizens had advanced
such arguments in favor of per-
hitting the law to take its course
that it had been decided to take
the rascal back to Jail. Williams
drove up, jumped down, and in a
minute or two learned that the
affair was off. He had driven

She is the daughter of Mr.. John

all decided was dude. Once

and the almost black OF the for

interest. "No paintah, aw, could

The language of the dude was net

was level. However he got
knocked completely out of time
further on. The train stopped at
a neat cottage painted brown.
In the door was rosy-cheeked
maiden, leaning in uuconcious
grace upon her broom
"Aw, me guhr., don't ye get
lonesome, We know, aw, way up

that trespassed on the tack Of his

shrink, and nothing could induce
him to open his mouth from that
point to the journeys end.
