 How the Trouble Started.
 "'Nhat wantee:' asks the heathen in that nolasses way oi his.
 'Washee..' wells Jim.
 :" No clean Washee'
 "'Washec, and washee like bla2es. or you won't live five minutes''
 Teller critters, you know Ching Ling. You know his humility. You know that his Ways are ways of peace. On one occasion, when tllis we're court damn2i his eyes for washing most of the tail off a shirt, he fell on his knees and &nc,) tears
 When threatened by Fcrocious Jim he picked up the bundle and tossed ii out of the window It was hard to credit this, but several good men and true went up there and found the shirt in snow bank.
 ''Then Jim whooped.
 "He jumped up and down and crack ed his heels together.
 His eyes glared like those of d tiger wounded unto death.
 Il the mouth aAd screamed out.
 Ut was an awful sight to witness, but Ching Ling stood there on the burn ing deck and never gave the fact away that he held four aces. 1t was only when Ferocious Jim started to pull his guns that the heathen moved, and then he moved like cyclone fifteen minutes q fp i'm Enn1,inp tInn J. F. Morgan. He took Jim's guns away. He elnptied out the cartridges: He tossed guns and fodder out of the window after the shirt He didn't get the red eye. and he didn't froth and whoop. He just turned Jim around aad gave him the boot, and then th.5 enter prising town of Sandy Bend was treat ed to spectacle that our grandcllil dren will blush over That spectacle dropped the price of real estate 50 per cent in five minutes, and such was the general emotion that the Red Dog s;l- loon had t9 tap a fresh barrel of Whis- ky and dilute it With a little more than the usual quantity of water.
 What did We, the poPaiace. and the
  behold: We saw and rubbed our eyeS and saw again. We asked each othei if we were dreaming. We asked our selves if We had passed in our chip. and were looking at moving pictures Ii. that other land. II we was to live thousand years We could never forge it. Ii was the spectacle of EeroeioaN Ri 4, man at his heels. Think of it. Dwell on it. Keep the vision before yoGl' eyes. Zero eious Jim fleeing before Ching Ling and lis hair standing up In alright.
 Sunthn' Else Had to Follow.
 ..If it had been only that We might have recovered in time and corner lot. regained their usual price. but sunt llia' else was to foller. When Jim has out run the heathen he comes to me and demands justice. He wants a warrant for assault and battery. Think of Il. A white man, and holy terror al that wanting a warrant for assault and bat tery agin q heathen weighing hun dred pounds. 1 talked I argued I appealed. It was no good. I had to l. sue the warrant and bring the Chiny man into court but when the facts in the case came out what did this court do? He discharged the prisoner With words of praise, and after making |, speech to Iorocious Jim the miserable kyote was sentenced to state prison fo,' five years.
 1t wasn't law, but this court was looking more at the square deal. Tlla higher court has reversed on me- and have got to crawtish. do crawfish Jim sits over thar looking as moan az he knows how, and l have got to SC. him at liberty. I do so. He can go This we're court as a court has nuthin' further to do with him. Constable. throw open that door, Now, feller critters, step out and form Gou- ble line, and if any one of you misse giving Jim a kick to help him on his way out of town it will be in vain Co. you to drop in to the Red Dog in flu ture and take a drink and ask me to chalk it down.
