response to a message. and, after taxing
a look at the tooth. which was double
one on the upper jaw, the cowboy said:
.Kurnel, I kin shoot that tooth out az

TERRIBLE CONFLICT
But 1t Didn't Come Off According to Schedule

At Rawson Junction we found a man
with a biz black bear in cage on the
platform. He explained that Bruin had
been taken in trap three days before.
and that he was going to take him down
20 Silver City to sell him to a saloon
keeper for $50 While we were surveying
the captive an old man rode up on a
cayuSc. followed by about the meanest
looking dog ever seen in the glorious
West. The canine was squint-eyed. bob

The doubter had nothing to say. He
didn't believe the statement, but he was

The old man waited a moment, and
then lounEed over to the cage and took

Mr. Bowser had broken out again. and
Mrs. BOwser could see a family row not
an hour away. During the dinner he sat
with his shoulders squared and a stern

There was a man about forty years old
