forthwith discharged the prisoner.
The prosecuting attorney was white

In pursuance of this threat Hutchins
brought the matter before the Federal
grand jury, secured an indictment and
the arrest Of Gutierrez by a Federal
marshal Hutchins was so hopping
mad at the absurd manner in which
he had been bowled over by a gust of
windy sophistry that he split the creed

fragments, and rushed his case
through with>a velocity that could not

those tactics in the United States Dis

made for the only possible avenue Of

All Lees pistol he went gallOping

Why Ramon was a good runner and
the Chinaman was not, but when All
Lee heard the flying steps Of his Dur
suer and then a chorus Of yells from
the herdeTs. who were tiocking in from

meant. he pelted down the wharf Ike

When All Lee reached the string

were behind him, and with another

too. that the sheep wandering up

while they nosed for this green
