town before returning. Contrary TO
his program Of the last two days, he
remained downstairs and mixed in the
sports Of his crew, shooting an eHcit-
ing game Of craps on the porch and
presiding as judge at mock trial Tor
the benefit Of the moving picture men.
Judge Johnson opened the trial orig
finally for the purpose OF punishing Two
friends visiting the camp and one OF
his trainers. Walter Monahsn, who
chanced TO spend the night intown. A
number of the camp members have been
laying of every now and then Dave
Mills created the first sensation by
leaving Rick's early one afternoon and
remaining in Reno until late the fol-
lowing day. IN spirit Of fun the big
smoke took him to task, but as yet
the feet footed sparring partner has
been able 20 avoid punishment.
JUDGE SPANKs OFFENDERS
Judge johnson has passed sentence
on nearly every one in camp and takes
It into his own hands 10 mete out the
punishment which has consisted of
sound spanking with a broad snillelah.
Today he could find no excuse for eX-
ereising his strength on the trainers,
who have already received more than
their due, so he picked upon Monahan
and two friendly and unsuspecting
newsps spermen. Doc Furey and Johnny
LOTUS. scarcely waiting to hear the
sentence, procured a rope and securely
bound the victim. The moving picture
men stepped in and the scene OF the
process was shifted to the sunny side
Of the inn. There was lively tussle
and in a few seconds one Of the prison
ers was laid struggling and helpless
across a high stool brought from one
OF the gambling tables.
Judge Johnson, with great show of
glee, grasped his trusty pine stick in
both hands, and, amid shouts Of
laughter, proceeded to soundly chastise
his victim. The big champion was
none too sparing with his blows and
the force behind them. and il didn't
take very much to make the writhing
unfortunate scribe howl with long to
be remembered pain. The second pris-
oner was seized without any trial and
the zoodiy siat was laid on him with
even more success. Monahan then
came before the judge and the rest Of
the amusing rough and tumble was de-
voted to ridiculing him and Jack Geyer.
PICTURE MEN IN CLOVER
The moving picture men were over
sove6 at the excellent exhibition and
kept their cameras buzzing busily all
the while. Finally, after his thirst for
amusement was appeased, the cham
rfor ad iourned the court and sat in his
big chair while the photographers
made many snaps. He then retired TO
his room, where he remained until
after 3 o'clock. BY the time the smoke
came downstairs attired for the road
work quite q number of people had
gathered and before starting he spent
4 few moments in greeting acquaint-
snces. He was full of the usual good
huuaor and amused every one with his
clever banter.
While the champion was putting in
his time on the road a machine
1vhirled past him and in the cloud Of
dust that was raised he failed to recog-
nize its occupant, his less ambitious
rival. James ]. Jehries, who was off
Tor a fishing tour. The champion was
also PASSED by. Sam Langford, who
shouted a few words calculated by their
tone 10 arouse anger, but the smoke
maid absolutely no attention and con-
tinued his work without trace Of vex-
alton. All the way out toward Law
ton Springs the champion was followed
bv autonlObile parties, and when he
appeared over the crest of a hill near
Rick's on the return trip there was a
large crowd to meet him. AS usual
tier. was the scattering Of ANA
