No. 2 Tunnel jumped a mucker with all
force, for not attending to his work. Just
then the Boss Mucker Hostler came jumping
in with a cane, and says, "Hold on till / put
finishing touch to him!" But Tommy did
not get Gaming. The consequences were
that all of the bosses and Straw Bosses, eX-
cepting the Driller Boss, were marched down
to Ironton before the honorable Judge, and
the trial came off in Tommy's favor, and the
honorable Straw Boss had to open his Doodle
and shell out the sum of $3.50. But the
Mucker Hostler got through all right, ex-
cepting few words from Tommy's mother,
which he did not enjoy because the cane
which tine old lady had made too many -four
ishlng motions in front of him. Bnt it is all
over nova cheap enough circus.
