HE went to work and there was a SEN
sation the next day when it became known
that Big Tim was on my staff. The re-

big empty house was fired three times the

business done by the saloons helped us
out with three first-class shooting scrapes.
Before these sensations We're stale some
one shot through my sanctum window,
perforatng the crown of my office hat
and lodging a bullet as big as birds egg
in the ceiling. You never saw anyone more
excited than Tim seemed TO be over that

This dastardly attempt at assassination
was bonanza, and, with posse securing
the country for the offender, stock in our
town began to look up. Some shark who
appeared to be a friend of Tim swooped
down on the place and opened a big game.
We had a report of at least two prize fights
a week that my tireless assistant had come
off in some retired spot, and the sports
from our rival down the valley came troop
ing back to get the benefit of such action.
Tenderfeet were held up; an occasional
burglary varied the excitement, and my
papers went off like free tickets to horse
