He Changed His
Mind Quickly

Because John Hanson, a rancher
living several miles out in the
country, got the long-handled
shovel of NJ. j. Morse, Contable
George Ashby had to make a trir
out with a search warrant running
up expense enough to buy half q
dozen shovels.
Morse went along. While Ash.
by was in the house looking for
Hanson, Morse located the shovel
The warrant said if the shovel
was found the possessor must be
brought with the shovel to court
"Yesus Christ! tank l not
go said Hanson, who was lying
on the floor drunk.
He was a little fellow weighing
about 1876. Ashby is an old wres-
tier of the Tom Jenkins class
weighing 230.
We'll, this paper says I must
bring you, and | know where l can
get six men as big as ! am, so
maybe we can take you," said
Ashby.
We'll, by tam, den / tank I go. "
So Ashby, the long-handled
shovel, Hanson and Morse all
trapsed into court.
Justice Evans looked at the cul-
prit. Then he looked at the
shovel.
Dismissed" snorted the court,
and the case was over.
