The Light Went Out in Time to Save the
Strangers Story from Becoming Tragic.
| a long silence had fallen on the group
around the little stove in the back of the
Oklahoma dry goods store. Each of the
rough citizens had told his story or re-
lated some experience which once befell
him, and the silence that followed an in
credible yarn of the Hon. Jim jerks was
intense.
The stranger from the east had listened
throughout in iistless, wandering man
ner. and yawned exceedingly when the
others laughed. The silence thickened
with the smoke, and as they looked at
one another in the growing darkness for
encouragement to break it Mr.. Mike
Swipes, with slight hem, said;

pleaded ignorance of good story, but
they persisted. They weren't particular
After moments deliberation, during
which all snugly placed themselves in
their favorite attitudes, the stranger
consented and began in a monotonous
and sing-song voice as follows:

heart of the Hartz mountains, in Ger

plundering expedition and were resting
themselves. The camp fire threw flick

captain of the band was standing in the
shadow, leaning against a tree, his hands
resting on gun. His eyes were bent on
the ground and his face bore a troubled
expression. Suddenly he turned, and
walking to where his lieutenant stood

'Scuddy, my boy, tell me thrilling

A u -gedy was enacted within the limits
Sof our city on S tturday evening that has
shocked the inhabitants into speeches.
horror. It is scarcely two months since
Farley McFarlane was sent home by the
grand 'ury of Provo. who chose to ignore a
well substantiated charge Of assault with
intent to kill. Whether it was produced
before the grand jury or not, evidence was
not lacking to prove that he had contem
plated The Killing of our quiet and unas-
suming, vet brave and efficient county
sheriff, Jens p Larson, prior TO the even
. ing on which he did shoot him, while the
officer was trying to arrest him for break
ing a CITY ordinance. That McFarlane did
not kill Larson, was simply good luck. The
ball entered the left shoulder at a point
where bv slight variation in one direction
il would have missed Mr.. Larsen alto
gether, and as little difference on the other
side would have caused instant death.
After the guilty man had time TO sober up,
he said himself that he thought few years
behind prison bars would perhaps do him
good: and had certainly made up his mind
to pay the penalty of his criminal attempt.
and seemed to be as much surprised as
anybody when he was set at liberty.
There was strong feeling of Indignation
among the citizens of Manti and the opin-
ion was openly expressed that private in
fluence had been used in his behalf, but it
was never made quite clear Whoseinfiuence

shooter to Manti. II that man lives who

sured that be We one or twelve, you will
not stand guiltless before the judgment bar
of God. Because of the strong public con-
domination of the mans act, and the course
the grand jury had taken in the matter, the
Sentinel was silent; hot desiring to fan into
a fame the smoulde-iLg feelings of aggres-
sive bravado on the one side, and injury
and injustice on the other, deeming it best
in this case to submit to the decree in
silence, though bitterly unjust.
The man McFarlane is not utterly de-
void of coed, and we hoped, with his
friends, that the lesson would be suffi
GENTLY vivid to prevent such outbreaks in
the future; but hoped, as the sequel proved,
in vain. The shooting of Mormon officer
was not much of a sin in the eyes of those
twelve good men and true" but since his
second escapade has been the shooting of
two employees of powerful corporation,
we feel assured that he will suffer the full
penalty of the law. Better would it have
been for his worse than widowed wife, his
worse than orphaned children, his gray
haired honorable father, for the criminal
himself, if the law had dealt Justly by the
people, and punished Farley McF'arlane for
the July attempt.-HOnC Sentinel.

Il am the finest bird that flies" remarked
one. complacently, land nothing is too
good for me-" So he picked out nice,
soft, springy limb, almost at the top of the
tree. and went contentedly to sleep.
The other one had been brought up to
consider mOdesty a virtue, and humbly re-
marked: IL am content to sleep near our
Mother Earth. Pride goes before fall. ,
and who knows but that storm may come
and blow my ambitious companion to the
ground, thus breaking his vain neck?"
So he took seat on the lower limb.
A storm did not come, but the owner of
the turkeys did. and the one on the lower
limb was caught and on Thanksgiving day
was eaten.
