TIE WILD AND wooLLY EAST.

The center of population is, according
TO recent statistics, slowly drifting
westward And as the population cen

of the west seems to be moving east.
Regsrd for a moment the story that
comes from Richmond, Va, the one
time capital of the southern cOnfeder-
acy. a seat and center Of culture and
learning. Near Richmond the other
might a tired wayfarer went to bed in
a combined hotel, gambling house and
saloon. Though the wayfarer was tired
he remembered to put his trusty re-
volver under his pillow, where it would
DE ready for any and all emergencies.
One emergency was very near. At
beast 1t seemed an emergency to the
tired one After he had comfortably
stretched himself out between the
sheets he noticed that he had forgotten
TO put out the lamp. Too much effort
would have been involved in rising and
turning the wick down or blowing out
the flame. There was another, and ap-
parently an easier way. The traveller
merely drew his revolver from under
the pillow and attempted to shoot out
the light. His aim was bad. The bull
let shattered the glass and scattered
burning oil in every direction. Natu-
rally a conhagration followed. Before
It could be suppressed it caused a loss
estimated at some $40. 900.
How long is it since you heard of a
westerner shooting out any lights? Ger
tainIy not for number Of years. Be
sides, no westerner would ever have
attempted to shoot out a light from mo-
tives Of pure laziness. Time was when
the shooting out Of lights in the great
country west of the Missouri river from
the Rio Grande to the British Columbia
line was considered a pleasant pastime
Many an exhilarated- cowman has in
dulged in it and during the process
some of them have had their own lights

Sheriff c. Frank Emery has notified
his friends that he will not be can

has served two terms, and will not
