He Got His Man.

Deputy Sheriff s. NJ. LaCroix return
ed Wednesday night from Jasper
county. Texas, having in charge w.
H. Baucum, wanted for stealing u
couple of wagons and four mules last
November from Contractor Mitchell,
who has a force of men getting out
railroad ties north of COlfax about
five miles. Deputy Sam ia an old
hand at the business, having served
at running down criminals for more
than twenty years, but he says his
late experience In Jasper county was
just a little ''beyant" anything in the
half dozen other States he has visited
on this kind of business. He arrived
in Jasper county with requisition pa
pers from the governor Of Louisiana,
all duly honored by the governor OF
Texas, only to find that a Justice of
the peace had already tried Baucum
for horse stealing i'm Louisiana. and
turned him loose! Deputy LaCroix
demanded of the sheriff of Jasper
county that he honor the requisitiOn
by producing the prisoner. The sher-
ii, finding he had committed faux
pas by turning the man loose. at once
hustled into the country ten or twelve
miles and returned with his prisoner,
and Mr.. LaCrOix lost no time in start
ing for home with him, saying he
feared to take any further chances in
Jasper county, as there was no tell
ing what those folks might do.
Something of a sensation was Gre
ated by the Louisiana Deputy's two
or three days stay. and the District
Judge, the sheriff and the fresh mag
istrate had some pretty breezy con-
ferences, in which useful Information
wasimparted to the last named indi-
vidual regarding Interstate law and
horse sense.

murmur OF an objection.

In Mikes ear. II was Ala Porter who
had spoken.
Mike pushed his way to the small gate,
even through it, that led up to the stew

back down the steps.

quick eyes, saw Mike, and beckoned with
a finger.

Langdon says Alan Porter rode the horse
