THineburgh was about two miles
across the valley beyond Sidington. 1t
was lively little place, of about 1000
inhabitants. One of the great trunk
lines of railroad ran through the town.
The road to Twineburgh crossed the
track at Sidington station, near the
depot. ..-:-.. ....-
AS reined up my horse to walk
and glanced up and down the track
before crossing, I saw the station agent
standing on the edge of the platform.
I nodded to the fellow and he an.
swered with a grin. Then, as he slowly
came toward me, stopped the horse
and waited.
"You took the trunk, didn't you?" he
asked.
"Mr. Hunsicker came for it," re-
piled. '....

I replied.
''Then there's another feller comes up
from the city. Let's see-what's his

or so from here, and comes up to hunt
and fish. Guess he don't shoot very

I started in surprise and became a
little more interested.
"What? Not Horace Jackson?"
asked.

"Seems to be a nice fellow" the agent
remarked, refectively.
"A very pleasant gentleman. Oh, by

''To be sure.''
'And I could send message when

Il live up the track about a mile." he
replied.
''This direction?'
Eyes. The house is right by the
track, just where the switch begins"
"And what's your name?"
"Ask for Hunter"
It appeared to me that the fellow did
not relish my questioning. He seemed
to be i'll at ease under it.
"Does Jackson go to Mr.. Morley's
house when he comes up here ?" I asked.
II guess he does, sometimes. He amt
been up lately; not for five or six weeks.
At least haven seen him."
''Does Mr.. Morley stay at Nelsonville
all the time?' asked. "Or does he 90

He goes to the city three days in the

THE COWBOYS PROOF.
His Fundamentally Showed That he
Had Not Shot to XIII.


Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch
If the Butte Greek Cattle company, was
on trial at Alliance, Neb, on q charge of
shooting at a brakeman on the Burling-
ton railroad with intent to kill him. He
had received his pay a few days before
and was engaged at the time of the
shooting in the picturesque pastime Of
painting the county red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent to
perforate the brakeman. He told the
court that, while it was true that he did
take out his revolver and shoot after the
brakeman had pushed him off the train,
he was merely giving a prearranged sig
nal. He and a friend had been down the
road a few miles and wanted to ride back
to the nearest station to the ranch. Real
izing that if they were found by any Of
the train crew they would be put off, they
had arranged that if one was put off the
train he should notify his partner by fir
ing his revolver once.
The trainman, with visions of what be
firmly believed was a narrow escape from
death, shook his head, and the Judge
looked unbelieving. Vance's cowboy
friend corroborated the story, but, seeing
that his tale failed to receive credence,
the defendant asked the court to please
step outside. The judge asked what for.
III prove my innocence, your honor"
Vance said.
The court was curious and went out
side. So did the sheriff, lawyers and
spectators. Vance pulled out his revolver
and, holding postage stamp between the
fingers of his left hand, clipped off each
corner in succession. Next he asked
spectator to suspend hickory nut from
a thread. Walking off 80 feet he wheeled
and at the first shot cut the thread. TAX
ing six tacls he placed them loosely in
piece Of wood. This he placed against
post % yards away. Borrowing a watch
from a bystander, he opened the case for
mirror, shot with his back to the mark
and drove each tack into the wood with
out a miss.
The brakeman had been looking on in
open mouthed wonder. AS Vance con-
Guided the brakeman stepped up to the
Judge and, tapping him on the arm, said:
Yes, you honor, l guess I was mis-
taken. That man wasn't shooting at
me."-Denver Times.
