that established an office there in the
early days of the boom. In time he be-
came the custodian of the funds of the
men who had voted to hang him.
When the time was ripe for the estab-

subscription list. He presided at pub

that he was destined to be the chief

AS the hanging was to be the first in
the new county of Cohise the prepare

Judge Lynch held court a committee

Bennett had volunteered to prepare
the rope. and in a clearing on the hill
side two men were digging the grave.
"At what time do make the jump?'
asked the maverick.
AT sundown," replied Bennett. as he
patted the hempen cord in his hands.
NO chance for let up?'
Nope"
Are you going to blind me?'
Just as you wish. Our motto is we
