A Muscular Magistrate.

Judge Coleman, of Butte, may moi
be very large man, says the Butte
(Montana) Bystander, but when it
comes to upholding the supreme power
of the law he looks as large as an elc.

officer being present Mt the time the
Judge concluded to make the arrest
himself. Vago went out with him and
pointed out the man wanted and then
skipped out.
The Judge called Reski outside and
told him he had u warrant for his arrest.
In response tho Hungarian pulled ont a
pistol, but before he could use it he re-
ceived "habcas corpus" under the ear,
was disarmed and marched up to court
in double-quick time. AS they were
going up the stairs which led to the
court Reski pulled another pistol, a

now," attempted to shoot, but again
the judge was too quick for him, and,
knocking him down, took the second
gun away from him., and besides Civ
ing him good humping, read him a
lecture on tue evils of attempting to
obstruct tho course of justice, after
which he was escorted to the court
room, his case set for trinl and then
marched down to tho city Jail. Upon

But it is we'll recognized and adj
