manding a view of a considerable
stretch from every side. He did not
venture to the town, but allowed his
companion considerable freedom that
he might be informed of the situa-
tion. This companion was a young
man who Immediately sought the So
ciety of the scarlet sisterhood and
this led to his undoing. The Off
GERS made arrangements with a fe-
male known as "Beavertooth," who
was on calling terms with the woman
living with Jack Shinnick, at whose
place the outlaw was in retirement.
Beavertooth" made frequent visits
to Shinnick's and reported the situa-
ton fully, and SO it was that Schmal-
sic one morning deliberately crossed
the pasture, entered the corral and
began to intently examine the horses.
Schmaisle was apparently so engros-
sed with the examination that he did
not note the approach of the desper-
ado, accompanied by his ever faithful
rifle. Schmalsle, who had been a
government packer, was a man of
nerve, and firm of purpose, but "Big
Nose" saw in him only a prospective

STOPPING to examine a horses hoof,
that big Nose" approached without
his rifle. Schmalsle Strengthened up,
whipped out a gun hidden from view,
took cool and deliberate aim at the
outlaws head and quietly ordered
him to throw up his hands," For
one moment big Nose" hesitated,
but he saw that he had to do with
a man fully his equal in GOODNESS, so,
with an oath at his stupidity in not
being armed, he acquiesced No time
was lost in marching the prisoner to
the outside of the corral, where at
signal from Schmalsle officers ran
up and manacled the prisoner. At
the jail a blacksmith riveted irons
to the felon, and guard of citizens
stood ever ready to repel any at
tempts at rescue, it being confident
ly believed by big Nose" that his
friends would accomplish his escape.
In the meanwhile, the outlaws
companion, unaware of the arrest of
his chief, was talking to his fair be-
trayer, in Recess saloon. AS he was
about to lift a glass of liquor to his
mouth, deputy sheriff stuck a six
shooter under his chin and easily af-
fected his capture. Manacled hand
and foot, big Nose" was escorted to
a boat by a number of mounted citi-
zens and there turned over to govern

The cheerful company that had

a hard luck story to pour into the
irritated ears of the bartender in the
hope of wheedling drink out of

odd twist. He breezed up to the end
of the bar and clapping down gold

Dan was relieved the next morn

business for after directing the
"swamper," a homeless and hopeless
bum, to sweep up, a thousand
glasses, more or less, were found to
be in need of laundering. 1t was the
custom, then at least, for the day
shift man to clean up after the night
man and also to leave everything
clean for the night man to start in
with. 1t began to look as though
there might be a slight measure of
labor connected with the job. Then
it was discovered that about all the
