few intermissions, when he lodged behind
q cloud for a rest, until about p. IN. when
black clouds gathered and yelled his face
and they gathered thicker and thicker until
about o'clock when it began to rain which

in charge goes by the name of c. Tull and
is charged with stealing cattle in the nation,
which brings him into the jurisdiction of the
Federal authorities. II looks tough that
these poor horse and cattle thieves are not
allowed life. liberty ard the pursuit of hap
piness. We Americans blow good deal

The conversation driffed on buying tickets
