never heard from Black Jack.
Before they separted Jasi, gave the
young man some excel ent advice. He
advised him TO go back 10 the cabin
on Muddy Creek and start n cattle
ranch. He told him just how 70 take
up land; how to start n cattle ranch.
Jack seemed TO knew everything. He
particularly advised against a wan

suggested thai he get married a. soon

about him. and with eason Her son

Brooks took Jacks advice about
getting married. On his way west he

daughter named Nary.
For many years these two occupied

Twice since her marriage this Sebras-

They Travelled an over the west
ern country. which Jack knew like
an open book. for he had always lived
on the frontier. He was an expert
trapper. horseman. packer and camp
cook; Brooks says he has never known
another western man VTho could do
50 many things as well. -.
But with all he was a silent man.
Brooks was his partner for a consid-
cradle time. but never knew anything
about him. Brooks came from n big
city. had good folks and was always
talking about them. but though Jack
listened attentiveiy. he never told any
thing nbout himself. He was fSir and
square and did his share IN every
thing. excep. Bis share Of the talking.
He was rather tail and wiry. and peo-
pie were afraid OF him. though he
was never known 10 harm anyone in
hat section. Brooks often feared
that Jack was q drinking man. and
would some day 90 on a big spree and
shoot up some Of the towns they oc-
casionalIy visited. but he never did;
he did not so much as take a drink.
nor did he gamble.
'fon one occasion when they were
in a rough town. a drunken bully at
tempted to shoot Brooks. but Jack
knocked the man down. The bully
had n short pistol called a bulldog,
and when he recovered from the blow.
Brooks called TO his partner:
Look out. Jack. he's coming to.
But Jack stood with his side to
the bully and paid no attention. For
tunaiely the man was a coward and
did not shoot.
That night, IN camp. Brooks talked
TO his partner about the incident. Jack
said he had made up his mind that
the bully couldn't hit him with that
pistol and had resolved TO let him
shoot first; then he would have COM
piete justification for killing him.
They were in a strange. rough town.
and JACK knew the rules OF the
game. He was the best pistol shot
Brooks has known I'm an experience in
the west OF more than forty years.
He was also al expert rifle shot. and
once when they ran across some men
who were shooting 81 some pigeons.
Jack borrowed a shotgun and won
first money.
One day they stopped at a little
post office in Idaho called Alton. Jack
went in and asked for mall. To the
surprise OF Brooks he was given a
letter. Brooks had never known
Jacks name. nor did he near it in
asking for a letter. He does not know
his name to this day.

would say nothing. Finally Brooks
would ask him. and Jack would re
ply:
Il killed nine; I'm going back in
the morning 20 skin them.
and Jack wouldn't even ask how
Brooks came OUT and maybe Brooks
was anxious to tell. being young and
having killed n good many.
In the old days when Brooks lived
alone in the cabin in Deer Greek
Park. probably no young man vcr
had poorer prospects. But he stuck
TO it. improved his fortune as fair
chance offered. and became known on
M range and in the mountains as a
rNiiable man. By slow degrees his r.
ward came. He now Owns eight
thousand acres OF decided land and
controls twenty thousand more under
lease. lie has fifteen thousand head
OF sheep and four or five thousand
head of cattle. Forty TO nifty men
are employed on his ranches the year
round. and the best OF these work un-

and hat the story w=s that a man
called Pat the Trapper" had killed

II uined out that one cc the two
men was Pat the Trapper. and the
other a man called Black Jack.
Brooks realized he had been guilty OF
an indiscretion. but Pat. though III
HUNDRED. only aid he didn't kill the
Frenchman. He admitted the man
had been at the cabin a few weeks
before looking for a stray horse. Pat
made a.good many Inquiries about the
gossip. but finally rolled up his blan-
kets and wen; to sleep. as did the 9th
er two.
Next morning. after Brooks had
started for his cabin in h mountains
the man called Black Jock anne gal
looping after him and said he would

sip about the Frenchman had made
him III at ease. He said he had seen
tbs FrenchmAn At th. cabin and had
heard him quarreiing with Pat about
a horse. That was in the morning.
and Jack recalled that soon after. Pat
asked him TO go into h hills fo4
some pelts they had there. Pat also
suggested that Jack take a ceftain
pack horse OF his. This was unusual,
for though Pat owned a good many
horses, ho had never before suggested
that Jack use on of them. When
Jack returned in the evening the
Frenchman had gone and Pat said
they had reached amicablo settlement
about the horse.
Brooks wanted a Partner. and the
two thereafter trapped and hunted to
gether. rhe cabin where Jack and
Pat lived was on the sito of the pres.
ent w ranch. at h mouth OF
Muddy Creek. and when these two
split up Brooks bought It, as stated,
for six beaver traps and a sack OF
flour. Now 1t commands all the wa
ter Ia three creeks and thousands Of
acres of irrigated land.
For a long time the boy Of TWEEN
ty and Black Jack. who was thirty
five. trapped for beaver as partners.
and frequently made a thousand Col
lars apiece in a few months They
often set forty traps in a day; some
afternoons they would return to the
cabin with sixteen beaver skins, but
this was unusual. Many days they
got none. or two. or four. or half n
dozen. When they caught as many
as a dozen in a day they were com

Keep Our Supreme Court Out Of Politics

The supreme court is one of the separate, distinct
and coordinate branches of the state and national gov
ernments-
The supreme court of the state of Wyoming, as il is
today, came into existence with statehood, modelled
after the supreme court of the United States, at first not
appreciated, but now known as the greatest court in the
civilized world.
The supreme court of Wyoming always has enjoyed
the full confidence of the people and has justified that
confidence throughout its history in that its decisions
have been both able and impartial.
Up to the year 1915 the. members of the court were
elected on the partisan tickets, which to a certain ex-
tent made the court partisan, but be it said to their ever.
lasting credit and honor, their decisions always have
arisen above partisanship.
In 1915 the Legislature, following many other states,
tool an advance step and enacted a non-partisan judi
cial election law, with the purpose of removing our
judiciary entirely from partisan politics. At the first
opportunity thereafter a Democrat was appointed to
serve with the two Republicans on the supreme court,
and at the following election the people ratified this ae-
appointee to serve the unexpired term for which he had
been appointed.
During the present administration. the Democratic
and one Republican member of the court having unfor.
tunately died, the action of the people was reversed and
two, Republicans were appointed to fill the vacancies.

Supreme Court of the United States. and the following day the
news anne that the President "a lvonsiderins the appointment of
a Democrat to succeed him, and thus keep up the policy of hi,
predecessors in maintaining the non-partisan charrcter of the Court,
although there is N o Law on the subject.
Practically the only chance the people have to re-
store, at the November election, the non-partisan char
acter of our supreme court and maintain the spirit of
the non-partisan judicial election law is in the election
