THE LAST TRAIL OF
JESSE BOLANDE

Of picturesque but inwholesome
The incumbent of the marshalcy OF
Rapid City had won his exalted posi-.
ton solely because no one could recal
a time when he had been either aila'
tory for fatal moment, or Inaccurate
for an effective hair's-breadth.
So when he issued an edict against
CARRYING guns inside the city hihi's
the cowpunchers took out lhelr re'
yenge in oaths and threats against the
next election; and, from the very DAY
after the edict, the place OF the piston
knew it no more.
RAND CITY had managed to survive
ahout A week Of this uncomiortaDie'
negative virtue, when Jesse Bolahde
rode into town at about four IN the
afternoon. He had been on his range
all week, and as he stood at the uii
mifrorcd bar of Keno Jims place,
he listened to the new state of affairs
with many an oath of incredulous
amaze.
The marshal and Bolande were ola
friends. They had once moiled on
ragged claim upon the mountains To-
gether; they had stood back to PACK
in sliirmishes with sayages
When the marshal entfed me Sd,
