Bud on the
Rampage Agin
Bud RinckIey Who Amt Quite
Right in His Head Cut Up Some
TurribIe Capers Last M.-
Several of Our Most Respeck-
ted Citizens vicktims of Buds
Underhandedness!

Bud HinckIey, who amt quite right
in his head, never was, and probably
never will be, has got hisself a great
deal disliked by certain Bingville folks
from his actions on last Friday night.
Just after dusk had fell in Bingville,
Bud, who probably didn't know what
else to do, snuk into the woodshed and
got his mothers clothes line. Then he
tied one end of the clothes line to a
cherry tree in front of the house about +
inches above the ground, then carried
the line acrost the sidewalk through the
front yard palings, under lilac bush,
where he hid hisself in concealment and
waited.
By and by Cy Hoskins, one of our
most respected citizens, approached
down the sidewalk on his way to the
P. o. to inquire if there was any mail
for him, being as Cy has been looking
for the last month or so for letter
from his brother Abner Hoskins, who
lives way out in Nebraska somewheres,
from who Cy amt heard from now
goin on nearly 3 months, which is I'M
usual, and Cy figures Abner may be
sick or somethink.
Well, as Cy approached the clothes
line Bud held it tight. AS a result Cy
was tripped up and fell with dull and
sickening thud on the board sidewalk
that knocked the wind outen him, and
then poor Cy rose often the sidewalk
and into the road, where he laid moanln
and groanin and takin on turrible. Cy
could hardly git onto his feet agin, but

O., wonderin what in tarnash1on had
tripped him UP to such an extent.
The next person to approach was
Deacon Butterworth on his way to Hen
Weathersby's store, where he calkilated
to spend the evg. in company with 9TH
ers of our most respeckted citizens,
there to smoke his pipe and discuss the
tariff and how the guvverment ort to be
run When the Deacon's foot struck the
clothes line he was walking along purity
brisk, so he got turrible flop, coming
down on the side of his head and one
shoulder very violent indeed. The Dea-
con scrambled on to his feet and stayed
there in the dark saying languidge not |
becoming not only Deacon but a
stanch piller of the Bingville church.
Mrs Hinckley, Buds mother, said the |
languidge the Deacon used was turrib1e. |
She heard it clean inside the house and |
come to the door and told the Deacon
to kindly not use such 1anguidge in |
front of her residence, being as her |
son Bud might hear it and she didn't |
never want him to use words such as |
them.
The Deacon told Mrs. Hinckley to
mind her own business and when she |
got round to it she'd better repair her
sidewalk Then he went on down street /
grumbling to hisself.
The next person to come along was
Bill Hepburn, our artistick blacksmith.
Bill was clumpin along tired with his
hard days work and out of humor.
When Bill struck the clothes line he
