SANDY BEND JUSTICE.
Judge Hoke Holds That Country Comes
FIRST.

"Feller patriots" said Judge Hol1e,
of Sandy Bend, after court had been
called to order, the only case ON the
docket this morning is that of Pete
Simmonds VS.. Thomas ShOtwell.
This case not only appeals to our
sense of justice, but to our patriotism
as well. In fact, it appears to be one
of the foundation stones of the base of
American liberty. If decided one way
American manhood and American lib
erty may be considered safe for an
other hun1red years; decided another.
and that goddess erected by our fore
fathers at Bunker Hill will totter from
her pedestal and crash to earth and
break her back in the doing of it.
While l feel the responsibility rest
in on me as the only Justice Of the
peace for forty miles in any direction,
l also feel that [ am competent to han
die and decide the case as We'll or bet
ter, than any other human hyena in
the commonwealth.
Constable Blithers, turn them three
dogs and four Cinnamon out of court
and make things look respectable, and
then let me say that the facts in this
case are as fOllers, to-Wit:
Thomas ShOtweH is a tenderfoOt
from Massachusetts. He is also an in
valid. He comes out to this wild and
WOOlly climate to be restored to rug
gedness. He strikes Sunday Bend with
a cough on him a rod long. and is adj
Vised to go up among the hills and

can citizen he is advised to take a

rary citizen of Wyoming he is advised
of all his rights and warned to shoot
first and ask what it is all about after
ward He was told in particular that
the glorious constitution of this com
monwealth held that when a man in
a poker game held tours for three
hands running, it was deemed as bad
as assassination, and that he could be
shot on the spot.
The tenderfoot goes up among the
hills to live a tent life One day, after
he had been there a week, along comes
Pete Simmonds. You all know Pete
Thar he sits, over thar. He's a kuss
that looks to be all humility. and more
than one stranger has been taken in by

poker game as softly as if his mother
had jest expired, and he maintains {
sorrowful expression of countenanct
even when shown down a straigh

door of his tent he is saluted with:
'Mornin', nger@how does i

THE GRAND PROMOTER.
His Landlady Knits and Forces a Set
Element.

Major CrofOOt. Grand Promoter and
generally hard-up man, was sitting in
his Office at 10 o'clock the other fore
noon and wondering what had become
of all the suckers in town, when the
door quietly opened and a woman en-
tered. The major had forgotten to lock
the door, and he gave start Of
surprise and turned pale. The woman
advanced into the room, removed her
bonnet and cloak and sat down. There
was but little fire in the stove and the
room was chilly. After sitting for a
moment she rose up and dumped into
the stove the bod of coal which the
major had just borrowed of the shoe
maker up stairs, and which he meant
to last him a whole week.
Great heavens. but what are you do
ing2" he shouted at her IS he saw
black ruin staring him in the face.
She turned from the stove and sat
down and said:
Major. 1 have come visiting. and I
want to be comfortable. Y GU remem-
Der me, of cOurse2"
To do the major justice, he didn't. It
had been five years since he saw her.
He peered at her for a while and then
a smile of recognition came to his face
and he exclaimed:
1T can't be, and yet it must be my
old landlady, Mrs. Pillsbury!"
Just So" she replied, as she took
her knitting out of bag and began to
knit.
But let US shake hands" said the
major as he rose up and offered his.
Why my dear, dear woman, I sup
posed you were under the sod long ago.
I can't think it possible that see you
here alive
Never mind the handshake, major.
Shake hands with yourself, if you feel
like shaking. You should have had a
better fire this morning. How is the
dead-beat business p
''Ah. I see what you are driving at
and I am glad you called and gave me
a chance to explain. Mrs. Pillsbury-
my dear old landlady-when I left your
boarding house a few months ago was
owing you about dollar, I believe %
when you left my boarding house,
over four years ago, you owed me sew
enteen dollars she corrected.
over four years ago and seventeen
dollars. 1t doesn't seem possible, and
yet I will take your word for it. How
time flies? How the exact amount of
our debts escapes u.s. Well, well we'll,
/ but 7 am rejoiced to see you once more
and in the flesh. You must have re-
