UP at st. Johns recently a man was ar
rested for pulling a SIX shooter. When
brought before the justice he explained
that he went down in TO his hip pocket,
but instead OF drawing a gun he pulled
4 briar root pipe and vent to smoking.
The Justice said that he was determined
TO break up the pernicious habit which
was becoming prevalent of carrying va
rious articles Of bric-a-brac IN the pocket
which was primarily intended for the pis-
toll. It was but a few weeks since he had
been called on in his official capacity to
hold al inquest over the remains of a man
who had reached into his hip pocket for a
handkerchief, but it was not known it was
pocket handkerchief instead OF a gun he
was after until after he died. SO in this
case as the prisoner admitted that he had
reached into his hip pocket be would rule
that it was ummaterial, incompetent and
irrelvent to testify as to what he went af-
ter. so he would consider that the prisoner
had plead guilty aud be would give him
the extent of the law, which in this case
was a fine Of 50 40, together with costs Of
Sl7.60 which would make a sum total oil
one twenty dollar gold piece, which the
sheriff reported was all the money be had
found on the prisoner.

UP in Bornalillo county recently a jus

a power Of attorney authorizing the law
yer TO act as the justice during bis alb
sence. The lawyer accepted the appoint
ment in good faith, put out a sign an
%nounclng his new business and proceeded
to administer justice after the most APP
proved New Mexico style.
