to us. were I've told this porverse
sport that Glidden's done cashed in
an quit, an now he lays for me with
them indebtedncsses. 1t shorely
wearies me-"
1t don't take the Wig lance COM
mittee no time to agree it aim got
nothin to say in the case.
"'"It's only on killin's an boss
hustlin's an sim lar breaks" ex-
plains old Monroe, who's chief of
the Paloduro strangers, where we
all gets kyards. We amt in on
whats a mere open an shet case of
debt"
But this Dallas sharp stays
right with Gmmaron. He gives it
out cold he's goin to collect. He
puts it up he'll shore sue Cimma-
ron a lot.
"'"You all don't mean to say
thar amt no jedgo yeref" remarks
the Dallas sharp, whom old Monroe
explains we ain t organized none for
seCh games as law cases. well,
! this ycre Plaza Paloduro is for Ger
tain the locoedest camp of which l
ever cuts the trail. You all better
get Il hustle on right now an 'lect
jodge. If l goes back to Dallas an
tells this story Of how you all amt
got no jedge nor no law yere, they
won't let this Plaza Paloduro got
! ClOSt enough to en- III business to
hand 'em II ripe peach. If thar's
enough sense in this camp to make
bakin powder biscuit, you all will
have n jedge 'lected ready for me
to have law cases with by third
drink time tomorTy noruin."
AFTER hangiu up his bluff the
Dallas sharp, putin on heap of
hauteur an dog, walks over to the
tavern ag'i in an leaves us 10 size up
the play at our leisure
What this ODD rate party from
Dallas says finally remarks old
Monroe, lis not without what the
Comanches calls tum-tum. Thar
savoy and jestice in them Observa-
tiOns. It's my idee that thar bein
no jedge yere that away to make n
money round up for gent when
another don't make good is like
a palm off our fences. / think we
better rectify sech omissions an
'lect jedge at once"
"'"Which I'm opposed to these
proceedin's, interrupts Cimme-
ron. I'm plumb adverse to courts.
These law sharps gets into 'em, IN
when they can't find no gate to
come at you they ups an pushes
down n panel of fence an lays for
you cross lots. I'm dead ag' in these
proceedings.
"'"See yere," says old Monroe,
turnin on this Cimmaron, you
are becomin too apparent in this
camp, what 1 might describe as a
heap too obvious. Now, if you gets
your stack i'll again when it ain t
your turn or picks up anybody
hand but your own I'll find a short
way of knockin your horns off. You
don't seem gifted enough to realize
that you're lucky to be alive right
now
Bar Cimmaron, who lapses in
to silence after old Monroe gives
him notice, the whole camp lines
up fav' rable on the idee to 'lect a
jedge. They sends over to the cor
raj an gets nosebag for ballot
box, an it s decided that old Monroe
an Cross party named Randall
has got to do the runnin. Randall
is plenty p'lite an allows he don t
want to be jedge mono nohow, an
says give it to old Monroe, but the
latter gent, who is organizin the
play, insists that it wouldn't be le-
gal.
"'"Thar's got to be two gents to
do the runnin," SO old Monroe
says, "or it don't go. The lection
amt legal that away onless thar's
two candidates.
They puts Broncho Charlie an a
sport named Ormsby in to be the
lection supervisors They was to
hold the nosebag, an as votes IS
dropped in they're to count 'em out
accordin to Hoyle, 30 we all can
tell where the play Is headin. Bron.
cho Charlie is jedge for Randall an
Ormsby fronts up all sim lar for old
Monroe. The lection we decides to
hold in the Lone Star s'loon, SOS to
be conducted with comfort
"'"Make your game now, gents, "
says old Monroe when everything's
shorely ready. "Get in your votes.
These yere polls is open for one
hour"
leone for Randall" says Bron
chic Charlie as old Monroe votes.
'''"An one for old Monroe, re
marks Ormsby when Randall votes
next.
This gives the deal tone to have
Randall an old Monro,. pint out by
votin for each other that away, an
thar amt one of us who don't deal
more respectable by it.
is my opinion even yet that the
Plaza PalOduro could have pulled
off this lection an got plumb away
an never had no friction if it ain't
for greaser from San Antonio who
tries to ring in on us. Thar's 81 OF
us has voted, an it stands 9 for Ran.
