HE WAS ExcusABLE.


The Bitter Rivalry Between Two Rud-
ding Towns In tho Iar west.
In the former days OF the South
west, when there was bitter and
bloody rivalry between the bidding
towns OF jacks Valley ana heyel Plain.
fifteen miles up the river, there was u
man arrested for stealing horses, says
the Detroit Free Press. Not exactly
stealing either, for under those cir
cumstancos the arrest would hardly
have been made. The evidence was
not at all conclusive; it was so weak
that even in this section it was thought
only fair to give the man chance.
He was before the court, and the
Judge was sounding him.
you say" said the judge, that
you never stole u horsePn
"Never in my life, jedge.n
and you wouldn'tdo such a thingPn
The prisoner hesitated a moment.
He was an entire stranger, and i%l
they knew OF him was that he had
been seen in Level Plain, which was
of course against him.
"Well, yer onner," he responded,
that depends
This was poser.
Boys" exclaimed the judge, "ain't
that evidence enoughP Go and git
the rope"
A rush was made for the hemp, and
the prisoner began to get scared.
"Hold on, yer onner," he yelled.
"Let me explain that"
The judge succeeded in getting
order among those who had gone for
the rope.
you've got q minute and half to
do it in," said the Judge politely.
II said, yer onner,n proceeded the
prisoner, "that 1t depended whether
I'd steal hosSr Or not, AMI it does.
Now, eff l was in the town of Level
Plain and coYldn't git outen it no
other way than by stealth boss to
ride, III be deemed ef l wouldn't steal

Then gEhat shout went up, the
Judge cams OFF the barrel he wa,
benching on and shook hands with the
prisoner, and they took him out and
! gave him the best entertainment the
town afforded.

Only Mountain Lion, hut lie owned
tho whole hing for IA While.
Last wintor when the snowstorms
were so fearful throughout the noun.
tains in Utah and the earth was COW
cred with snow to the depth Of five to
ten feet, and remained hidden so long
the animals were forced to despera-
ton The wolves wore starved and
weak, and what is known as the
mountain lion almost persisted from
starvation, says tho Chicago Record.
It's great strength failed it, and a man
with knife could soon take the life
of an animal that short time before
could hold powerful OK or horse and
ma Ike meal of his flesh.
The hur~ry animals after while
discovered that fool was to be had
along the railroad track, where pas
sengers threw bones and scraps of
victuals from passing trains, Often
two starving coyotes would engage in
deadly combat over a chicken bone
that had a short time before been rid
den of its last vestige of nourishmcnt
by some economical person who did
not care to pay 10 cents for meal
This was the condition of things.
Engineer Cast had charge of en-
CINE No. 151, which was known as
''the HELPER from the fact that it
helped trains up the mountain and
when at the summit cut off and
dropped back down to the bottom
ready to help another. One night
when business on the road was SLACK
Cast noticed something wrong with
the gearing under the tender, and re-
marked to the fireman that they would
get Off and repair It. When half way
down the mountain side he brought
the engine to a standstill and the two
men went TO work on what proved to
be a twenty minutes job packing a
hot box on the tender. The tallow
pot was left at the boilers head.
After completing the repairs the
men were mounting the engine again
only to see huge mountain lion de-
vourlng the tallow and holding full
possession of the engine cab. 1t was
q cold night and the snow drifting.
The men had already remained out
side until they were very cold and
the chances of dispossessing Mr.. Lion
were very meager, as he snapped his
teeth and flashed his eyes and fast
stored the tallow out of sight. The
only consolation the men had was that
the tallow would not last long at that
rate, and even this thought was not
entirely satisfying, as they had no way
of determining that one Of them would
