they didn't like the other Teller much.
So they started right In and they
lected him straight. Tom felt kinder
proud that he was so poplar, and he
thanked everybody. Some of the boys
tried to find out what he would do
when he got the Office. But he told 'em
to wait and see"
Come on over to the joint, boys" he
remarked after talking a moment with
his chief deputy. The "joint" meant
the saloon, and the request seemed an
invitation very welcome to the friends
OF the nsw officer, sworn to enforce the
law. Therefore a willing crowd fol
lowed him to the saloon.
Toms all right, I guess, boys" re-
marked one of the cattlemen. "We'll
have the town by the roots before mid
night, and Tom'n be with us through
the scrimmage. Guess can come in
for this. I'm here for the big show,
and the sooner it starts the better"
Joking and laughing the cowboys
and miners filed into the saloon, the
new sheriff leading. He didn't joke
much, and there yaspaEaeepliar look in
his eye. But the boys Tere intent upon
the prospective celebration and did
not notice. All fled up to the bar and
stood ready to punish the booze"
Suddenly the newY sheriff whirled
about. He faced the men lined up be-
side the bar. In his hands were a pair
OF six-shooters. His skill with the
weapons, well known, made the small
battery an exceedingly dangerous at
5air.
As they glanced at the sheriff with
startled eyes the stupefed cowboys
were shocked by the hasty closing of
the only door. Before 1t, his back
firmly braced against the exit, stood
the sherif's head deputy. In his
hands q pair of weapons matching
those held by the higher officer made
him an equally formidable PROPOSE
ton.
boys, let's all be peaceable like and
not have any trouble" said Tom Turn
er, In the even tone of man devoid of
fear. there's law in this country,
and you've all heard me swear to en-
force It. That's what I'm going to do,
and I'll begin now.
First, TIL take every gun in the
crowd. Then each of you will be fined
$50 for carrying concealed weapons.
You'll pay on the spot and consider
yourselves lucky" Deity the sheriff
went through the men. Each gave up
at least one revolver, some OF them a
pair. Then each gave up $50.
Now, boys, go ahead and have a
good time" said the sheriff, with a
smile, as he took possession of the
weapons and poeketed the cash. sssYou
