CY LAMBASTED!
Cy Hoskins Gets Considerably
Bunged Up by a Party of Otto
mObeeIers Bekause He Won't Get
0uten the Road. Serves Him
Right, Says Some, but Read 1t
Yourselfs:

Cy Hos1<ins, known throughout the
Co. as the highest man in Bingville,
give an exibishion of his nighness at a
inoppertune time tother afternoon, and
in consekwence got a hammering that
filled i'm with sickness and disgust from
parties that some people choose to refer
to as fiends in human form and that
other people refer to as publick bene-
fackters.
The parties that lambasted Cy was in
ottomobeel that come afluking down
the road that leads through the Hollow.
We amt overparshial to ottomobeels
ourselfs, being as how they raise the
dust dretful, and don't have no more
respecht for a boddy's feelings than all
get out, and we don't hesitate to say
So Jest the same, we don't know but
what the parties in this ottomobeel done
just right, as we have often felt the
same way towards Cy as they must of
felt
Well, anyway, Cy was driving down
the Hollow road, settin straight up in
the middel of his seat as he always
does on acct of being afraid that some
one will ask him for a ride If be sets
to one side, when all of suddint a
ottomobeel come scooting around the
corner behind Cy and commenced to
foot and toot its horn.
Of course Cy heard the ottomobeel
before it begun to toot, but he was
feeling sorta mean, the way he always
does, and he druv right on occupying
the egsackt center of the road, so as to
prevent the ottomobeel from gettin' by,
there being no reason for said acktions
on the part of Cy, but he jest being
annoid bekause the people in the otto
nobel was able and willin' to scoot
past him in a second and make him
chaw dust for spell
The people in the ottomobeel they
footed and footed continuous, but Cy he
woldn't look round and kept right on
film up the middel of the road.
All of a sudden the ottomobeel
stopped tootin, and the first thing Cy
knew, a littel Teller with spandy spick
cloes, had Topped up en- the step of his
earridge, and had grabbed the rains.
Hey, you old fool, yelled the littel fell
Ter, why in thunderashion don't you
behave like growed up teller instead
of a ittel child, and git over to one
side of the road SOS we can git byl
And so saying he give the rains yanl,
and the boss turned out
Cy, he was white mad Dog-rat your
gol-blamed hide, he yelled to the littel
Teller in his meanest voice, I'll learn
you to come around here with your
nasty ottomobeels And with that Cy he
made grab for the whip and started to
give the teller a cut But all of a
suddint, befoar Cy could bring the whip
down, the little Teller seem to rig right
UP in the air. He grabbed Cy by the
coat and yanked him outen the seat OF
his carridge and broke his whip and
busted Cy up and down in the road and
pulled his whiskcrs and then Slated him
back in his earridge seat with such :
slam that Cy's false teeth dropped out
of his mouth and fell into the road.
There, you blamed old rip he said |
guess thatn teach you to ackt like a
man instead of q mewl
And the next minnit, Cy heard the
ottomobeel scoot by and in another min
nit they wasn't anything in sight Elk
sept Iittel dust hanging low on the
HORIZON. so to speak
