MAYOR HARRIS
ACTS As JUDGE
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF SLIP.
Perry 6uLcH LAST NIGHT.
Revelry Reached Its Heipht-Elk's
Big Fun Show Wonderful
Success.

In the supreme court OF Slippery
Gulch Mayor Harris was Chief Justice
skinner" last evening and made a
very capable official. He was kept
quite busy. as there were numerous OF.
tenders. To Offend" and break a
Slippery Gulch law is not hard task.
sveral of the tenderfeet were charged
with having too much money" be
ing too proficient as gamblers" being
chicken" laughing too heartily"
having too much fun" The feminine
sex furnishes the greatest number Of
victims and some OF them actually
broke into jail" by being too charm.
ing. Not that this is a serious charge
according 10 Gulch laws. but as II Is
only natural for busy" sheriffs to
want 10 escort good looking women to
jail and make them prisoners. They
seem 10 be the ones that are contin.
ually getting into the most trouble.
There Is a rumor afloat that some
night this week there will be WON
an Judge" and woman sheriff" and
II such Is the case. we feel that they
will make Il very hard on some OF the
Gulch's most prominent bad men"
The old fashioned quadrille was
staged in Calamity James dance hall
last night as an additional feature and
II proved a hit with all OF the dancers.
in fact the audience was astounded TO
see so many 'jiggers" and Swing
your partner" experts. This feature
proved no end Of amusement. and Il
will probably be repeated once every
evening throughout the balance OF the
week.
That there are a great number Of
real crap shooters" in this communi-
~ Is proved by the fact that the
gamblers who conduct these two
tables have never showed a profit
similar to other devices in the Gulch.
One OF the tables showed a loss Of
over 10000 bucks last night This
fact has riled the officials TO an ex.
tent that they threaten TO prosecute
any patron that makes more than five
passes. so II will behoove the lucky
experts" TO watch their shoots" or
the sheriff will surely get them.
The stock OF the general store was
nearly depleted again last night. The
committee had TO pay 10
wholesale houses visit this morning
and have replenished the supply. and
a full and varied stock win adorn the
shelves tonight.
