Talk about highway robbery; there is no place where they do it up in as good shape as they do here, in our quiet little village. Why, just the other day I walked over to the court house to have little chat with some of the legal lights, and on entering the house, 1 was asked by some of the slug singers if l wanted anything done, and as there was no one that wanted the green grass to grow on, I answered in the negative. They said it was against the rule for any one to enter that house unless they had some special business of the grass grow ing nature; and they began to look at each other with 3 knowing look, and I began to think that had got in to the wrong place, so began to fish around in my watch pocket for my bull dog and tooth-pick. But before 1 could draw my tooth-pick and advance to the door, one of tho parties went down under his desk for his charm, in the shape of forty-fve six. shooter, and after fastening his talons on it, he covered me with the handsome little toy, and was com pelled to stand still and see the salvation of the court house slug slinger. One of them, tall and handsome fellow,
 who looked as if he had just had his
 cranium polished over with sand paper, advanced toward me and began to en- quire of each of my pockets if they contained anything, and as the pockets could not answer for themselves, and the handsome and heavenly looking headed man would not allow me to ans wer for them, he had to go through them and satisfy-lustful desire for gain himself that they did not contain any valuables, only heirloom, in the form of a tooth-pick, which was willed to me by my former one hundredth great grandfather; so I explained to them how came by the tooth-pick ,and one of the party, very sympathizing fellow, had been in former times placed under just such trying circumstances. so he at once took in my situation, for he saw the big drops of precipitation standing on my marble brow and the tear drops as large as birds eggs rolling down my rosy cheeks, then he, with the eloquence of Henry Ward Beecher, arose and defended me. I promised them that the first time meet them in New York I would treat them to some ice cream and lemonade. After making me bow down and kiss the red cross and make solemn VOW to the photo- graph of a pretty little miss, they blind folded and led me through an under ground passage to what I suppose was the blue chamber, and made me dip my fingers in warm blood and make cross on my hand. They then led me out in to the beautiful sunlight and took the blind off and told me to skip, and I skipped. I am not in the habit of run ring from every noise I hear, but when l see men with red crosses on their breasts and black veils on their heads and about twenty-five feet of rope

That was n fiimsy, silly dodge, or play, of the Thomas troupe to make heroes of themselves and to simply blackguard the good people of Coolidge, in New Mexico. They have published far and near, that at the point of the blade and muzzie of the pistol, they were compelled to give free music to a lot of COW boys, at Coolidge. They seem to be sticking to the same false representation as is established by the illustration in one of the rose coIored weekles: How can the people of Cool idge stand such reflections. Would it not be well to call public meeting and pass resolutions demanding of Theo. dore Thomas to publicly deny the scandalons report.
