day and made to apologize to a shyster
Yes. that's what we did. He
had a gun to our ear before we knew
of his presence, and the thing didn't
look at all good to us. Any time that
an apology will save our brains we
shall do it.
We learn that William Jackson, who
used to be something of a terror in
this gulch, was killed at Santa Fe the
other day while shooting up a saloon.
He was slow on the draw.

day, and after twenty-four shots had

It's a sin to waste cartridges that way.
Major White, whom we characterized
as a deadbeat the other week. has sent
us word that he will shoot us on sight.
Bet he won't do it. Bet he can't do it.
Bet he can't hit a barn door across the
street. Come and pop away, major.
Mr.. Parker Of Blue Hill came over
to this gulch the other day to shoot
Mr.. Stebbins for some reason or other
and returned home with a bullet in his
leg. He was probably hit by accident,
but he feels as bad about it as If it had
been the real thing.
A stranger named Albright entered
the p%ostofice the other day and began
shooting right and left to make things
hustle. He was removed to the hos
pital with a bullet in his side and has
rendered ample apology. He says it
was temporary insanity and that he'll
have no more Of it.
We understand that a Mr.. Felix of
Wolf Creek. while on his way over
here three or four days ago to call our
city marshal a liar, had the misfortune
to drop his gun and wound himself In
the foot. It's risky playing with weap-
ons you know nothing about.

day said every woman in Giyeadam

went shopping and did not hesitate to
use it If prices were too high. We
