at the corner of Seventeenth and Fergu

that instantly fell from the lips of Joe
Fisher. What was the astonished ex-
clamation of half a dozen. Its either
God or John w. Hoyt," answered Joe.
Then he looked again and announced that
it was Mr.. Hovt.
sas-Marshal Pickering. the executive
officer of the town of Rock
Springs is about sas plucky an in
dividual as sports a toga in this wide apart

man who is always willing to fight any
style. He sails right up to the muzzle OF
a believing rifle or barking six-shooter.

rest of the story thusly: George was
standing about the middle of the bar with
a couple of six-shooters covering the
door and two more skies with men be-
hind them were in sight. After looking
in the door a minute | concluded that I'd
been mistaken about George clogging the
wheels of justice and went up own to
look for horse thieves or some other
easy game"

which Louis Harrison and his erratic sis
ter made such a great hit.

treatment from these officials.

Ohio. where they practiced law in the
same courts. Are you still at the bar,
colonel2" inquired the president. "Oh,
yes sir, still at the bar" responded Mr..
Murrin in hat winning brogue of his.
Members of the Iarty who had left Col.
Luke's saloon on Seventeenth street only
a few minutes before were willing to
swear that his confession was absolutely
correct.
