Since Wyatt carp, once famous as
gun lighter in Arizona and California,
went up into the Klondike very little

could easily be tanned, consequently
story told of his suppression few
weeks ago by diminutive cockney
member of the Canada mounted police
VIII be interesting to some of his
friends here.
carp drlfted into Dawson several
months ago full of determination to
get action said a San Francisco man
10 some of Earp's old Western friends
tne other night. He discarded his
store clothes, got himself a flannel
shirt, pair of leather trousers and
sombrero, stuck a gun in his belt,
loaded up on bad whisky and went
around the saloons and faro banks
OallyraGglng everybody who would
stand for his game, and taking a few
shots at some men who resented 1t.
We'll, the fact that carp was hit
ting 1t up got to the ears of little
nve-foot cockney member of the Can
ada mounted police, one of whose
duties 1t was to see that Dawson be-
haved itself. Now, carp didn't know
much about the Canada mounted
police and the manner of men who
compose it.
therefore when he was interrupted
IN the gentle amusement of cleaning
out faro bank in Dawson one night
by this little chap coming up to him
With a request that he give him his
gun, he opened his mouth and his
eyes very wide, swore mighty round
OF oaths and asked the little fellow in
riding boots and cap if he wanted to
visit haGes at once or wait few
hours
carp was somewhat surprised
when the little fellow simply smiled
politely and said
You must give me the gun or
bury it, Sir and extended his hand for
the weapon.
carp swore some more, but not
quite so eloquently, for all the while
the little man was smiling calmly in
his face. Finally, carp, clean fiustered
by the situation pulled his gun from
his belt and fired it three times into
the ceiling whereupon the little man.
, still smiling said;
Now, you'll have to bury it or I'll
have to take it away from you, sir.
Take my gun away from met
, roared carp
) Exactly said the little man. May
be you doubt I'll do it. sir?'
| "The witnesses of this colloquy did
t not know what to expect from carp
| but they knew what would happen
pretty soon if carp became defiant
because in Dawson people know what
: to expect from the Canadian mounted
police. They knew, too, that this lit
! tie cockney had squelched every bad
man who had ever come into Dawson
and they didn't doubt that he would
attend to carp.
However, a crisis was averted by
= Earp's putting his gun back into his
belt and starting to leave the place
Just as he got to the door the police
\ man walked over and tapped him on
the shoulder.

j, but if you come out with gun in
sight tomorrow, shall have to take il

he had no nerve left when he con

went to the Golden Lion saloon, where
