A CONVICTED LTAn- The web-footedy

ary cattle drive across the street
charges US with trying to lord it over
this community because we have occa-
sionally appeared in a white shirt and
hfty-cent suspenders. Those who know
us best know how humble and lowly
we feel, even when having the only pa
per collar in the crowd which has not
been turned and sand-papered. We
shall occasionally put on white shirt
not to humiliate our fellow-citizens
or boost ourselves above the herd, but
in order to connect us temporarily with
outside civilization. Now and then we
shall replace the horse-hide strap
around our waist with the suspenders
spoken of, but it will not be in any
spirit of elf-aggrandizement, such as

APoLoGETICALLY.-I the haste OF
getting to press last week we did a
worthy citizen injustice in the item
about shooting affrsty on Jackass Hill.
We stated that Cinnamon Tom was the
man who killed old Rutger, and that it
would be a great moral lesson to him
to draw him up to a limb and fire about
fifty bullets into his carcass. We now
take pleasure in announcing that G.
Tom was not the guilty party. He did
not even 'draw" on the old man. At
the time the latter threw up his hands
and exclaimed: Boys! Pm downed.
See that my grave is kept greenP Tom
was further down the hill, chewing
away at Colonel Sockets left ear, and
having all he could do to hold it. The
ceqsurable party is Wildercat Joe, who
left town that same evening for purer
atmosphere, while Cinnamon Tom is as
innocent as a young gopher. We found
him behind the bar of the Red Front
saloon yesterday, genial as ever to all
comers, but injured in his finer feelings
BY our hasty conclusion. We mako
this apology of our own free will, and
hope it will re-instate him in the esteem
Of our citizens. -Dstrot Free Press.
