HAUNTS oF.THE COWBOY.
This is the native haunt of his majesty,
the cowboy, with his high-heeled boots and
his gorgeous s. neckerchief.
One sultry afternoon day or two past,
as a timid female sat stitching away in the
solitude of her cabin, she was reused by
the sound of an approaching footstep and,
turning, beheld an august knight of the or
der of Las-so. He looked as if he might be
three ordinary sized men moulded into one.
He seemed to the woman IN her rocking
chair to ill the whole kitchen, with his
sombrero and spurs, his revolver and
cartridge belt.
He asked with grave politeness for a
drink of water, and eSpylng the bucket and
dipper, walked across the room and helped
himself. Then, without another word, he
strobe with majestic step across the
creaking floor, bent his head under the
door frame and was gone.
The writer was all amused spectator at a
sitting, week or two ago, OF the Justices
court in this county.
INTHE COURTS.
The court house is log cabin containing
one room of perhaps eighteen or twenty
feet. At one side of the room IS a safe, in
which are deposited the county papers, and
near it stands table at which the Judge,
prosecuting attorney and various other
people take positions OF dignlfied dlstinc-
ton.
Four or five chairs are scattered about
the other side of the room, but the larger
number of spectators lounge in cosy aiti-
tudes on the floor, with their hats
perched on one knee. Then with piece of
wood to whittle and four-bit jack knife,
the average man of Uintah county is con-
| tent.
The case which was in progress was one
of assault with intent to kill
1t had stirred up considerable feeling on
both sides, and a goodly number were as
sembled to hear the testimony.
| 1t seemed to be the privilege of any one
present to rise up and tell the Judge, who
was also reporter, that he'd got question
down wrong; or to call the prosecuting at
torney across the room and give him
pointers; both prerogatives being in
dulged in with growing frequency as the
case advanced
1t was warm, languid afternoon, and
toward its close there was perceptlble
dying out of interest In the oft repeated
story as narrated by the numerous wit
nesses.
A big, fat lazy humble bee had been

| He finally settled himself down on the win
dow, scolding spitefully at the panes of
glass
The man who had leaned back in his
chair for nap, reached forward and
stopped the striped grumbler with his hat.
But if he had any idea that was coup de
grace, the bundle bee differed from him.
He threw himself with wild fury, and not
the least discrimination, against his enemy
the public.
The case of Thorne VS.. Ball was then
postponed in favor of the Court VS.. Bundle
Bee.
AS is usual in such encounters, the court
came out second best.
Sinking down under weight of exhaus-
ton and chagrin, the judge quieted his
nerves with plug of ''Old navy and then
resumed the case.
