The Rescue Of Miss Spencer.

The Rescue Of Miss Spencer.
While Hampton fingered between
life and death, assiduously waited
upon by both MAZDA and Mrs. Guffy.
Brant nursed his burns, far more so
rious than he had at first supposed,
within the sanctity Of his tent. Glen
caid meanwhile recovered from Its
mania Of lynch law, and even began
exhibiting some faint evidences Of
shame over what vas SO plainly a
mistake And the popuIace were also
beginning TO exhibit NO small degree
OF interest in the weighty matters
which concerned the discriminating
love affairs of Miss Spencer.
Almost from her earliest arrival che
extensive cattle and mining interests
of the neighborhood became aggres
slvely arrayed against each other; and
now, as the fierce personal rivalry be
tween Messrs. Moffat and Mcneil
grew more intense, the breach per-
ceptibly widened. While the infatua-
ton Of Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop for this
same fascinating young lady was
plainly to be seen, HIS chances in the
race were not seriously regarded by
the more active partlsans upon either
side.
The regular patrons Of the Miners
Retreat were backing Mr.. Moffat to a
man, while those claiming headquar.
tiers at the Occidental were equally
ardent In their support Of the pros
poets Of Mr.. Mcneil. 1t must be con.
fessed that Miss Spencer fllrted out
rageously and enjoyed life as she
never had done In the effete east.
The Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop always felt
serenely confident of an uninterrupted
welcome upon Sunday evenings after
service, while the other nights OF the
week we're evenly apportioned be-
tween the two more ardent aspirants,
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings the Miners Retreat was
scene Of wild hilarity, for twas then
that Mr.. Moffat was known, to be COM
fortably seated in the Herndon parlor,
relating grnesome tales of wild noun
tain adventure which paled the cheeks
of his fair and entranced listener, Then
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
nights, when Mr.. Mcneil rode gallant
" in on his yellow bronco, bedecked
in all the picturesque paraphernalia Of
the boundless plains, revolver swing.

owing bis daredevil eyes, the front Of

and became crowded to the doors with

THE HOUR
1rinraeId RepubIIcan.

Springfield Republican,
There has been much heartrending
talk about the unspeakable outrages
being committed by the people and
The government, State and Federal,
upon the defenseless corporations Of
the land. Ifone did not appreciate its
true significance, he would stand ap.
palled. Our institutions must be on
the brink of-rtin, the republics final
smash must be at hand, Il 1t he true
that our government and courts have
become ssavagely and wantonly vim.
dIctiye in the pursuit of the unotfend-
ing. vIrtuous-minded transportation
companies and the fat industrial
trusts. So grave is the situation that
every dip and lurch Of the stock mar,
ket is regarded as convincing evil
dence that the "lynchers' of the great
interests are assallIng the foundations
Of society itself.
The -poppycock of this can be dis.
cerned a mile OF. Nothing that could
speak, think and gyrate for itself ever
got the equal protection of "the laws"
to the extent the corporations have.
The country luxuriates in sleek, we'll
fed attorneys who have made their
bile giving the great interests all tae
protection that could be squeezed out
Of the law and the Constitution. They
enjoy the benefit of an entire step.
ladder of appeals in the courts and
IN tbe,last resort not one, of them ever
failed to get from the Supreme Court
OF the United States a final decision
that sateguarfed, as only our Supreme
Court can, the sacred rights Of prop.
erty. The Supreme Court is still
there. II is not infected with "hys'
terra" Battalions of corporation law
yers have the august privilege of ar
r,ting ibefore THAT bench the question
Of the alleged wrongs of their clients
anu acknowledgement upon the points
mooted, the ridiculous oddly Of the
tank that corporations are being
'lyucheda is the conspicuous aspect
OF the contemporary scene.
