Lumberjack Had a Hot Time
While 1t Lasted.
BOOZE UP TO THE LIMIT
He Was Rolled Just After He Struck
Town and Lost His Wad-He Then
Hunted for the Roller With
a Ready Winchester.

Missoula, March 9.-For two hours
to-day a youthful fumberjack had all
the drinks he wanted and lot of fun
ON the side. He wound up in the cooler
but while he was on deck he had hot
time. He made his appearance on the
street a little while before noon and
carried an old-time Winchester over
his shoulder. with the muzzle pointed
forward. He stated that he was look
ing for a man who had rolled him and
had taken all of his winter earnings,
and when he found him there would be
a dead roller in the town. He wander
ed from one saloon to another and
wherever he asked for a drink he got
one. As the drinks came so easily he
took plenty of them, and by the time
that the chief of police ran against him
he had been reduced by the booze to a
state of comparative quiet and was
controlled without any difficulty.
He is now meditating on the misfor-
tunes that befall a lumberman when
he gets out of the woods. He came
down from the timber and before he
had had any fun somebody else took
his wad away from him and he is now
in the calaboose.
