. The "BuckfoOt" Gang.


The fact becomes palmer every
day that the "BuckfJot" gang of
swindlers which has been opera
ting with u "high haud' at Webb
City will not be "downed" until
the people Of the county enter such
II protest that the officers are COM
PEELED to act. 1t is true, that the
leaders of the gang have been ar.
rested, but for some cause or other
it has been impossible to convict.
Two Of them where to be tried last
Tuesday before Judge Woiforl of
Kansas City, but w. |. Luughlin,
who was the principal witness,
wrote the Judge that he would not
appear as he considered that,to up-
pear as witness against them
would be to invite personal as
sault upon himself,
As reason for this determina-
tion, Mr., Laughlin submitted the
following;
"rhat the state of Missouri. has

TRICK OF VOICE.

Aow One Lawyer Keeps the judge Eros
.-r.rgssg Sleeping.
There Is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses trick OF the
voice to which certain measure Of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking a judge Whether it is a COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in q nap in the course Of long
and tedious argument. such happen
tngs are not unknown. and it is we'll
for an able logician Of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current Of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-.
planned as purely matter Of sound
Involved In the skillful control of the
voice. It II said that barristes' prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric OF address
Ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into a focus
and deposit it in the ortfice Of the
Judges ear with the general effect Of q
bomb. The trick, however 1t Is ac-3
complished,is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit OF going
to sleep on the bench was once mo-
sortous subject Of comment in the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick OF the voice,
while It IS said to be the peculiar prop
erty OF one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attensp pied often with varying sue
