Col. Dawson, who lives on the Red
Clay road, is good-hearted man, but
crank. He sent US in for publication
few days ago a bitter attack on Judas
Iscariot. We thought Judas had been
pitched into quite enough during the last
eighteen hundred years, and therefore re-
fused to publish the coloners article He
at once stopped his paper and threatened
10 shoot us. We rode out to his home
yesterday and had it out with him. That
is we drove him under cover, fired twen-
ty-six bullets around his ears, and reeeiY-
ed his surrender and a new subscription.
We have TO do this twice a year but we
do it eheerfully, and should be real sorry
TO hear of the colonePs death.

We have always been proud Of the fine

pleases us to know that most of cur citi-

rectiOn. AS a test of the matter We put on
a plug hat the ether day and started down
Apache avenue. Before we had gone two
blocks the hat was cut off our head with
bullets, leaving only the rim on our hair.
