There were portions of the wild and
woolly weston what was formerly
the wild and woolly west--for the
sillsen mantle Of civilization is fast
spreading over the whole landowners
the dividing line between honesty and
dishonesty was not distinctly marked.
The privations were great, and many
of the people found 1t difficult to make
a living. There was no law to keep
the honest separated from the dishon.
est. and this alone tended to obliterate
the dividing line.
One day two plainsmen went to a
land Office to enter some land. While
there one Of them told the following
story:
Last week." he said, "me and Josh
was movin' toward the mountings on
a prospecting trip. We had two good
rldin bosses and a pack boss. One
day we found fine campin' ground
beside a stream whar the trout was
list jumpin' outen the water TO be
ketched. and we concluded to rest thar
couple o. days. So we pitched our
tent anG got out our cookin' kit and
calc'lated to spend the time like ma
hobs.
1.-THE next afternoon, when we was
layin' of smokin' our pipes, we saw a
couple o. men comm outen the timber
on the criclE. Ketchin' sight of us. they

was youngish chaps, neither ov 'em
havin' yit growed a beard. We Of
fered 'sm the demijohn, but they didn't
seem to relish liquor much; mebby
they wasn't old enough TO have
learned We offered 'em pipes, but
they didn't seem inclined to smoke
neither.
They told us they was in camp in
q patch of timber ways down the
crick, and after stayin' awhile with us
they went away.

was gone.
They're boss thieves says.
'Hoss thieves. They don't look
nuthin' like boss thieves
Like enough they belong to some
family as is mighty hard up. and the
only way for SIGH In this we're country

awakened by hearin' the stock rushin'
this way and that way tryin to break
the ropes, and we heard whoops like
Indians, only they was more like
squaws and papooses than bucks.
Then come shots. The bosses was
nigh crazy with fright, but we had tied
'em so strong they couldn't get away.
JOSH says, says /, them young
