as banker. l had fair run of luck while
the judge invariably held those tantalizing
hands that are too big to lay down and
not big enough to win on.
When it came to cashing in mine was
the last stack of chips to be presented, and
tossed blue chip to him, told him to place
his private mark on it, and that he could
redeem it upon presentation. Ny friend
kicked me under the table, but 1 didn't
look upon the venture as half bad, even If
l lost.
The very next day I got mixed up with
the lawyer on the other side. and told him
in rather direct way that he was ras-
cally enough to want me to perjure myself.
The judge rebuked me. and 1 was rash
enough to tell him that in the east the
judges had sand enough to protect a wit

Fort Sill, where they we're taken by Gen.
Miles in 1856, / made some such statement
as the above. when he related the fact that
coyotes. look upon them as their kin. Their
tradition teaches them that. far back in
their early history, the Evil Spirit being
angry at some of their people, turned
them into coyotes. Today this is firmly be-
lieved by this tribe of Apaches. and for one
of them to kill a coyote would bring ruin
on the rest of the tribe. Thus the coyote
is not considered an intruder but is a well

we're baffled In all their efforts to trace the
goods OF discover the thieves.
This state of affairs continued until one
morning Immediately after robbery two
strange negroes were seen on the streets.
each wearing a suit of clothes stolen the
night previously from this much-burgiar-
lied store. The negroes were duly arrested
and imprisoned. When questioned as to
how they came into possession OF the clothes
they said that tn y had been trAmping, and
came into town the night before very late.
They saw light in building and some
men moving around inside. and they ap-
preached with the hope that they might
be given food. The men in the house upon
their applicat ton for food expressed their
regret that they could not feed them, but
they could and did give each of them a
nice new suit of clothes. The negroes
were very grateful and thought they had
struck job lot of amateur philanthropists.
and they were sent to the penitentiary, and
they are there to this day.
Subsequent events, however, indicate
that the negroes told the truth as to their
possession of the clothes. and that they are
guiltless Of crime. 1t seems that the mer-
chant who had been so adroitly robbed had
sor who had fallen in with two very I'M
scru ulous scoundrels and became their
Wilt G tool and confederate in many shady
trans actions. Finally, he was induced to
lend hand il. the robbery of his father.
This he did by admitting them to the store
at late hours in the night, and also help
ing to take away the stolen wares. The
goods thus obtained were secreted in an
unused building In remote part of the
town. and surreptitiously disposed Of to
'moonshiners' from the neiGhboring noun
tains. and to small country dealers.
Continued success made them holder and
less cautious. and this led to their detec-
ton and capture.
They are now out of Jail under a heavy
bail bond awaiting their trial, and the in
dications are that they will shortly wear
stripes
just here the gong sounded and the crowd
went to supper.
