HELD IN CHECK.

In 1888 a man named Tappan moved
with his family from New York to the
remote west, He had failed in bust
ness; was broken in spirit; his chill
dren, he thought, needed fresh air; 30
he accepted as gift from his brother q
large tract of land upon the edge OF the
wilderness and settled thereon.
Very soon enterprising people began
to settle beyond him, and there came
to be much travel past his door, and,
as an act of humanity, he frequently
entertained wayfarers. As these calls
upon his hospitality became more and
more frequent he enlarged his house
and put up an innkeeper's sign.
Not long after this a party OF young
men. eight or ten In number well
mounted. were returning by round
about way from an electioneering ex-
petition. Toward the middle OF the
afternoon they refined up before Tap
pans door, pretty well under the In
huence of various kinds OF fiery fluid,
and. having dismounted and secured
their horses, they entered the house
and noislly demanded whiskey.
