he went ut them with club. His wife
brought the clothes line, and together
they bound the tramps, sat down and

Lockabell asked them which they

placed in jail. where they stood the chance
Of several years in the psnitentiary, or to
be led out, one ut a time, and receive such
whipping as he would administer. They
chose the latter, and the farmer took them
out, scverday, tied them to the gate post,

huge welt on the back of the tramp, and
when the operation was completed pool
