Sam Henderson high sheriff of the
county from the co seat. Sam and Seth
wouldn't say nothin as to what their
bizness was. They put up Seths horse
and snatched a bite to eat then left
town afoot for Wesses cabin.
The rest of the story we got from
Yves hisself. 1t seems that Yves was en-
gagged in maxim corn whisl1ey when all
to onct the door of the cabin was dark
ened by shadder and Yves looked up
and there stood Sheriff Sam and Seth
in the door, each one of en- pointing a
pistol at Wesses head.
Hands up or you're dead man"
says Sam. Eyes" says Seth, 1T amt

Yves. If you use Whence and make me

Of course there wassent ennythink
for Yves to do but to hold up his hands
and surrender which he done--Wes said
he held up his hands so high that his
pants didn't no moren reach to his knees
and his arms ached him somethink aw-

Sam he stepd forrard and eiapped
pr of handouts on Yves & told him he
was charged with maxim whiskey IL
legitimate. Yves seen that the jig was
up so he said, "Well, Sam, ] calkilate
I'm guilty, but what beats me is how

Sam & Yves throwd out their chests &
was good cal pleased with SIGH conf
pliment acoming from Yves hisself. Yves
seen that they was both flattered, so he
went on: Il tell you it's purity hard
fer a desprit criminal to excape the
eagle eye of two SIGH arms of the law

hands & broke down & wep like child,
or pretended to, but as a matter of
fsckt he diddent shed a tear-what he
done. was to peek through his fingers to
see what efeckt. if emmy, this would
have on Sam & Seth.
They seemed to be turrible sorry for
Yves and told him not to take on so,
for goodness sakes, being as it made EN-
both nervous. "Praps you won't git
moren five yrs in Jail, Wes," says Seth.
Yes" says Sam, "I'll do what I kin to
have your sentence cut down for YOU"

that jug over there in the corner and
take sniff and tell me wot you think
OF it."
Sam he done as Yves askd him to and
says he. by grachious, that does smell
good-don't it, Seth?" and he held the
jug for Seth to smell. Seth said it
smeId to him like otter of roses or some
perfoom like that.
"You fellers must be turrible tired
