place for a room mate. Our apartment
was over a saloon and we were never
surprised when a few shots were fred

were two or three other men in the
room Never mind, kid said the
doctor as 1 started to get up. Just go
to sleep again. We don't need you"

bed. 1 inquired into the matter and
I found the fellow had been shot during
a fight in the saloon below. That cold

up and put in bed with me, because it
was the most convenient place. and
what awakened me during the night
was the doctor probing for the bullet.

ing together that very day and ii was
several weeks before he got things fixed
with me again"
