arrest of James Hodges, accusing him Of
the theft of Winchester rife from that

sheriff until paid or worked out at the rate
of 81 per day. He preferred to work it out
and was therefore sent to Jail. His bedding

willows as if intending to skip with the gun,
but was detected and held till the deputy
arrived and served the warrant on him.

ported himself sick and was sent to the

sharp for them. One day the doctor
determined to try him by firing pistol
off just behind him, but he got to hear
of the experiment and of course was
prepared for it. AS he and his chum
were sitting on their cots opposite each
other smoking the doctor stole into the
room unawares as he thought, and fired
the pistol close to his ear. He, how
ever, took no notice of the report, but
on seeing the smoke he turned to his
chum and said: Put your pipe out,
you fool, the doctor will be round di-
