piles of men in iris camp what knows
more law than you"
Bill waited till the justice exhausted
himself and sank back in his chair.
Putting away at his cigar so he
wouldn't have to waste more time and
matches on it when ready to resume
his smoking, he exclaimed:
"You see it was this way: Jim come
to me and wanted me to take this case.
l told him didn't want to take his
money for nothing, but just to humor
him said he could give me a hundred
If got him off. i knew there was no
tlse trying case before this court and
didn't fool away my time fixing for 1t.
It's just like told Jim-a man can't
get justice in this camp till were rid
of the duffer what thinks he knows
law and don't know little bit"
"You did, did your howled the JUS
tice.
"That's what did," blandly remark
ed Bill
$50 you go round telling the boys l
don't know nothing bout law, do you?
The crowd guffawed in chorus, either
because Bills estimate was common
property or the expression of it by the
justice himself gave them chance to
concur Herewith. Here the temper of
the justice boiled over. He thumped
his desk and yelled out, did you tell
this prisoner he couldn't get justice in
this court?'
'1'hiS is no court" was the comment.
Without seeming to notice the sar-
casm or implied insult, the justice re-
peated his question. 1t called forth
this response: Eyes, 1 said just that,
and, what's more, believe it, too, and
so does everybody in this camp. A
man can't get justice while
Gasping with rage, the justice threw
himself on top of the desk, whacking it
with his fists till the boards cracked
and delivered this decision: "I'll show
you, you clubfoot duffer, that man
can get justice in this court; I'll show
this camp what a liar you are, Bill
Hooper-the prisoners discharged"
Outside the Office the man who was
released from custody paid Bill 500,
as he had promised, and then took the
next stage out of Deadwood, for he was
afraid of vigilantes.

courage trade. That was no excuse,
for while human anatomy might be
carved with impunity or any sharp in
strument, prices couldn't be cut. Bill
expressed the opinion that his client
was fool for employing lawyer any
way, for he didn't have a ghost of a
show of winning his case and to take
his gold was just like finding it. These
were also trivial matters, he was in
formed. AS for finding gold, wasn't
that what brought them all to the
camp? No one expected to work for it.
Bill wanted to stand well with his
partner, who had kith or kin some
where from whom he thought he could
borrow money if it came to the pinch.
Bill was lame. AS the roads to Chey-
enne and Sidney were both long and
dusty, he preferred to ride on stage
rather than walk out Of camp. From
the looks of things, unless business
picked up one means or the other
would have to be resorted to before
long. 1t was policy for Bill to humor
his partner. He went to the saloon
keeper who had mashed the head of
man with bottle and told him he
would have to charge him 500 instead
Of $25 to take charge of his case. When
the client remarked something about
1t being holdup game and declined
to be robbed, the lawyer told him there
was no defense, for the assault had
been unprovoked and 500 would be
dirt cheap to get him off. Bill pointed
out that the victim was likely to die,
in which event the place to which the
ginmill man would go was not noted
for laying up treasures. Finally bar
gain was made, with the understand
ing that hundred dollar fee would be
paid if the case was dismissed or the
accused went free; otherwise no charge
was to be made by Bill.
The trial was held in the Office of the
justice Of the peace, and the room was
packed. Preliminaries over. the JUS
tice asked who appeared for the de-
Tense. No one answered. Everybody
looked at Bill. who was standing in the
doorway. He continued smoking, but
made no other sign When questioned,
the prisoner said Bill was his counsel.
'Do you appear for the defense,
Counselor Hooper" asked the justice.
''Nop"
'The prisoner says you agreed to-" &
Hes mistaken"
''Do you intend to take part in this
case?"
'Nop."
'Do you refuse to appear in this

"Yep." ~

MIXED FEEDING sTUFFs.

Farmers Can Educate Their Eyes to
Detect Inferior Mixtures.
Conn., e!.,.:!s ton a class of feeding
stuffs bearing such brand names as
chop feed" corn and oat feed"
/ linked feed" ETC.. which lead the pur-
chaser to conclude that the mixtures
are made up of corn and oats, Messrs.
Jordan and Jenter Of the Geneva IN.
" station say:
They have the appearance of being
corn and oats because cornmeal or
hominy feed and Dat hulls are present.
The prominence of oat hulls in some
of these mix lures is seen in the large
proportion of fiber which they carry.
The only grain product which supplies
fiber generously is oat bulls, and when
mixture containing considerable
proportion of cornmeal or hominy feed
shows IL per cent of fiber and upward
it is safe to conclude that oat hulls
have been introduced. The same is
true often when the fiber is less than
IL per cent.
Many genuine mixtures Of corn and
oats are sold. These seem to be more
abundant that is, they constitute a
larger proportion of the "chop feeds"
found in the market than was the case
when the station first began to collect
samples of this class Of goods. The
genuineness Of these mixtures is seen
in part in the low proportion Of fiber.
which ranges between 3 and per
cent, and in part in their general ap-
pearance. sa
The presence OF ground oats bulls is
made evident by characteristic me-
chanical condition and negatively BY
the absence Of the crushed oat grains.
1t would not be difficult for farmers to
so educate their eyes as to easily de.
tect inferior oat hull mixtures.
Cornneal and hominy mixtures are
lighter Ia color than pure yellow corn

Island Curio Store, near one OF the

That said fire was, from the evil
dence produced, iucendiary in its
origin, being started by some person
or persons to this jury unknown,
from a pile OF sticks and shavings in
the rear portion OF said store, said
sticks and shaviugs being saturated
