the COWBOYS PROOF.
His Mafksmanship showed That Ne
Had Not shot to Kill.

Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch
of the Butte Greek Cattle company, was
on trial ut Alliance, Neb., on charge Of
shooting at q brakeman on the Burling-
ton railroad with intent to kill him. He
had received his pay a few dayC 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 prearranged sig
nal. He and friend had been down the
road few miles and wanted to ride back
tn the nearest station to the ranch. Real
tzing that If they We're 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 he
firmly believed was Il narrow escape from
death, shook his head. and the judge
looked unbelieving Nance's cowboy
friend corroborateG the story. but, seeing
that his tale failed TO receive crelence,
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 n
spectator to suspend q hickory nut from
a thread. Walking off so fleet lie wheeled
aud at the first shot cut the thread. TAX
ing six tacks he placed them loosely in a
piece Of wood. This he placed against a
post % yards AWAY. Borrowing n watch
from bystander, he opened the case for
a mirror. shot with his back to the mark
and drove each tack into the wood with
ont n miss.
The brakeman had been looking on in

Guided the brakeman stepped up to the
Judge and, tapping him on the arm, said:

The Eject Wa, the same.

John Rnskn was a fearless critic and
made meny enemies by his radical
views. He never considered the man or

work itself tina; concerned him. He once
criticised, in his fearless way. the work
of we'll known painter, who was much
grieved at the effect. On hearing of the
sorrow he had caused he wrote to the
artist that b. regretted he could not
speak more fnvorably Of the picture, hut
hoped it would make no difference in
their friendship. 1t is said the artist
wrote in reply:
