Kangaroo Court
Has No Terrors
For Kid Abbott

Christy II. Abbott, 90 years old,
over six feet tall, and weighing
248 pounds. a deaf mute, is held
at the county Jail on a charge Of
forgery, following his arrest in Ca
lrXico yesterday.
Abbott has other prisoners in his
tank buffalocd,' to use, an cx-
preston Of Jailcr Sharp, and refuses
to take anv orders from the
I" Judge Of the "kangaroo court.
Who is boss Of the tank. ut least
as far as ordinary prisoners are CON
cerned.
But Abbott is no ordinary pris-
oner. AS Il ncwcomc rhc was or
dcrcd by the " Judge to mop up
the tank floor. Instead he proceed
ed TO write out II s"a,hiug opiuion
Of the "iudg".' iail and all man
kind. also informing the world at
large what would happen to the
other prisoners in the tank if anv
attempt was made TO force him to
work.
With plenty Of bulk to back him
up. coupled with the queer gurg-
ling noises he makes in his throat,
Abbott won his point, aud the other
prisoners are scared to death of
him. According to the .iaiIcrs, all
Abbott has to do is make his queer
noises and stretch himself Il few
times in order to be given plenty
Of room.
