lars to cents that he is arrested and taken
east within two weeks Should the alder
man come rushing over here, eyes bullying
out and hair standing up, to square him
self, he will discover an agricultural editor
dead to the call OF mercy. He will open the
door To find that shotgun looking into his
left eye
