1 in the saloon So Doc kind of made the saloon his headquarters.
 "The first day he was there, several of us asked him to have drink He wouldn't drink; though he bought the drinks several times, taking cigars for his. That night a few of us go; our heads together, and next day when Doc showed up we told him about a shooting affray we had had there the night before. We talked pretty mean about it too. Then one of us asked him to have drink. Doc | refused.
 Then, according to program, /the bartender came out from behind the bar. In one hand he had tray, with three glasses of whiskey on it. In the other he had his six-shooter. He walked up to Doc, holding the gun on him, and said.
 "'When you're asked to drink around here, young feller, you'd bet ter drink. You'll be a d- whole lot safer. Now drink this.'
 q never saw anyone move quicker than Doc did. Up shot one foot and souse! went the booze, all over the barkeep. At the same time Doc pulled nine-millimetre Luger, loaded to the gills, on the barkeep, and said:
 "'Drop that gun of yours, d. you! Loosen up on it and drop it right on the floor!'
 "The barkeep dropped the gun. He looked as if he was about ready to drop himself
 "'Now pick your gun up and throw it over the bar" Doc ordered. The barkeep obeyed Now just let me say to the rest of you fellows, you can't pull any d-- fool bluff over on me. 1 was born and raised right in Arizona and l am on the curves of all you tin horns.'
 Docs remarks didn't reach all of the fellows who were in the saloon when he pulled his gun. Three fourths of them had faded out through the doors and windows. But two or three were in a corner under a table, so he soon had some one to talk to be- sides the bartender.
 "You see, they all thought Doc was tenderfoot and wouldn't know enough not to shoot. So they were all pretty scared and especially the barkeep, who said he thought for a moment he was a dead man, and real ized afterward that he almost was, because he almost died from fright.
 A. F. Grimmell, assistant cashier of the First National bank, tells the following story, which he says some one told him a few days ago. He doesn't believe the story is true, but says that if it is, it's mighty good example of quick thinking:

HUN U-BOATS
PLAN FO|LED

LONDON, Oct. 2.-German U
boats tried to bottle up the British
grand fleet in the Firth of Forth
during the latter part of the war
says London paper, which de-
scribes this as the most ambitious
tactical operation undertaken by en-,
emy undersea craft.
The scheme aimed at the block
ing off cf the entrance to the Forth
by the sowing of big mine field.
Three months of hard work were de-
voted to the task by a considerable
fleet of submarines, the mines be
ing laid in the shape Of a half
moon. But mine sweepers had dis
covered the plan and, as fast as the
mines were planted, were cleared
away.
It is recalled that other similar
attempts to trap the fleet were made
in 1915 in Moray Firth, when over
400 mines were laid, and in 1916,
at the Orkueys. In round numbers,
on these occasions. the Germans
laid HOO mines at cost OF $1,000
each. The King Edward was the
only lighting ship that fell victim in
hese operations.
Numerous numbers 6f mines were
aid by the Germans OFF Harwich. .
t was found that these fields were
spread regularly at ten-day inter !
ais, so British sweepers occasion !

Inswept so that when the next batch .

foul of their own mines.
