WHERE IS EVANS?
SHERIFF OF KANGAROO COURT
ACCUSED OF DEPARTING WITH
THE FUNDS DISTRESS AND
ANGER IN THE COUNTY JAIL.

Time-worn sayings sometimes get
an awful jolt. There is honor among
thieves" does not hold good at the
county Jail.
What in Sam Hill are we going to
do for tobacco?" walled the inmates
of the upper bull pen after j. G. Evans
was released.
Evans was the sheriff and treasurer
Of the upper bull pen. He had been
committed to Jail for 64-day sentence
for stealing a saXaphone from the
Brook saloon.
1t is the custom of the officials at
the Jail to allow the prisoners to take
a little money with them into the
cell. The kangaroo court then proceeds
to relieve the newcomer of his cash by
filming him for infringement of their
rules. This money is turned over to
the sheriff of the bull pen. and is used
to keep the inmates supplied with
tobacco and papers. At the time of
Evans release there was $l.40 in the
treasury.
Shortly after his arrival Evans was
elected sheriff. The funds were turned
over to him and disbursed by him.
There was no great sum in his posses
sion but when the amount was convert
ed into Bull Durham it looked like IL
fortune.
Evans was released the other day.
IN oil 10
friends were glad to see him restored
to his liberty and congratulated him.
No one thought of the money. If Evans
thought of it he said nothing.
As the steel bars closed behind the
departing sheriff some one thought
of the money and made rush to over
take him. Alas. it was too late!
eli, der, yonse guy wild de gold
tusks, blow back wild de cash register
and gimme dat sl.40! Don't youse
know dats IA sacks of Bull?''
But Evans was out of hearing.
"And not half sack of tobacco in
the whole crowd" walled the inveter-
ate smoker.

million in silver nckels in here mex

wants is fer de sheriff t. put dat wise

Meanwhile Evans is supposed to be
having a glorious time on the $l.40,
while his erstwhile brothers are smok-
ing excelsior cigarettes.

How much?" interrupts John.
There you go again. You don't
care what kind of hat it is. I don't

much? Well it is cheap, awfully
cheap-only $1S.75."
In spite of the objections Of John
