RED GULCH JUSTICE.
Judge Hoke, of Sandy Bend, Rem
 ders Solomonic Decision.
His Honor Expresses His Contempt for a Coward in UnmistaIxabIe Terms and Let's the Crim-
 final on Easy.

"This yere case," began Judge Hoke, of Sandy Bend, as he opened court in the presence of Cincinnati Conner clan Tribune correspondent and a host of cowboys and miners, begun over in Wigwag Gu.ch. Jim Wheeler, who sits over thar and is known to most of you, was lyin' in his cabin over at Wigwag the other day when allat once he felt that he must have whisky sour at any cost. It's 15 miles to Sandy Bend, and an ekal distance to Dead Shot, but Jim kept longin' for that whisky sour till he made up his mind to saddle up and ride over yere. It ain't for this court to either praise or condemn man for riGin' 15 miles over mighty rough trail to git the cotton out of his throat. It's sufficient to say that, once Jim had made up his mind to come, he couldn't git that mewl saddled quick enough, and in his hurry he left his guns behind. He'd got about mile on his way and his old mewl was strikin' gait when he sud- denly found Lew Decker on the trail before him. Lew is that onery-lookin' half-breed over by the door, and he's as mean as he looks. As he stopped Jim in his wild career he sung out:
 "'Fall off!'
 "sWhat for?'
 'Bekase want that mewl.'
 But it'll be robbery
 "sDurn the difference'
 "Jim wanted to palaver, but the half-breed drew down on him and made him hop off. Then he hopped on and started for Jim's shanty. He cleaned it out of everything he wanted and made a bee-line for Dawson's Bend. Did Jim foller in hopes that luck might turn? Not foller. When stranger come along with two guns and offered to lend him one of them, did he grab

at all. When a second stranger come along and offered him both a gun and mew1 to foller up the half-breed, did he forgits the whisky sour and gallop off like vengeful tornado? He didn't. The durned fishworm simply picked up his legs and walked the other IA miles, and when he arrived here he come to me with tears in his eyes and said:
 "'Jedge Hoke, I'm a-callin' fer jes- tice'
 "'What d'you want of it?' said I.
 To git back my own from Lew Decker, the half-breed.'
 "He didn't gin me straight story. He twisted it to make me believe he had no show. I issued the warrant, and the half-breed was brung in last night. The constable found him in a cave in the Blue Hills. and it took about 50 shots to drive him out. That's the case. as it stands, and Jim Wheeler will rise up while l, call him a knock-kneed, slab-sided ishworm, without any spinal column, I ain't sayin' that Lew didn't have the bulge on him at the start, but it ain't intended that the law is goin' to step in while feller has any cartridges left.

 'Lew Decker, stand up. This yere court as court and as the owner of the Red Dog saloon, never put you down for anything beyand fresh Nobody kin skassly believe that you held Jim up and cleaned him out, and it's sort of record to be proud of. If you keep on the way you have begun, you might git up the courage to run off bunch of cattle or shoot Chinyman. Howsumever, it is the dooty of this court to see that you don't step too high nor jump too far at the beginnin', and you'll pay a fine of $11 and $6 costs or git vacation in the jail. I un- derstand that Jim has got his prop erty back, and I ain't warnin' you ag'in tryin' the same game on him ag'in if you feel like it. I'm simply sayin' that if you do and fall by the wayside you'll git shaller grave at public expense. If you don't fall and Jim comes whining around we're for more jestice, he'll git jumped out of this jurisdiction, and every jump will kiver thirteen feet.

Without raising the discussion as to

Without raising the discussion as to whether la grippe is produced by a specific microbe or not, at least this much is certain and admitted by all, that will produce chronic catarrh if not promptly and properly cured. Itleaves person haggard, weak, sallow, fraz- zled-out, mucous membranes all con- gested, appetite changeable, digestion capricious, and just about empties life of all meaning or desirability.
 There is no remedy in the world that meets the conditions produced by Ia grippe better than the remedy, Peruna. Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates. Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic, or sedative, or stimulant, nor vegetable or mineral poison. 1t reaches the source of all diseases of the mucous membranes by it's action on the vaso-motor system of nerves.
 )Every person who has had la grippe during the last year should take course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they dc so. The grip

A great many reme- dies have been suggested for this con- dition from time to time, but Peruna appears to be the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases.
