This Is not the time or place to es-
innate General Johnson's achievements
as administrator of the MIRA which
was largely his own creation. He GER
tainly worked hard and accomplished
much, whether for good or evils His
mistakes were admittedly glaring. and
not the least of them was his recent
assertion that during his administers
ton he had been In close touch with
Justice Brandeis of the Supreme court.
AS that tribunal Will have to pass on
the constitutionality of MIRA before

ton and was dismaying to the friends
of Justice Brandels. or course. the

did consult the Justice when he was
formulating the NRA and received
some informal advice which he dis
regarded, and that later Mr.. Brandeis
told him he had better resign.

Why
Liquid Laxatves
are Back in Favor
~

The public is fast returning to the use
Of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a more natural movement with
out any discomfort at the time. Or
after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs of the in
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you SO thirsty. DIR.
CaldwclPs Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the
average persons constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pcpsin at any drug store, ready
for use.

had reported shortcomings in Salmon's
work.
There was a sharp argument, that
Salmon, concluded with a Derringer
pistol, leaving O'Connor with a bullet
in his body. He made no strenuous at
tempt to escape and within a few hours
he had been arrested by the sheriff, on
a warrant issued by C.. F. Oliver, justice
of the peace.
They liked O'Connor. When he died
the next morning there was anger in
Red Lodge against the man who had
killed him. While a mob movement
was under way downtown, Sheriff Dunn
and Deputy Mike j. Kerringan took
Salmon out OF the Jail, loaded him in
to a blackboard, and drove down a back
street out of town, not before many of
the t~ownspeople had seen them.
Within two hours of their departure
a gang Of men on some Of the best sad
die horses that could be picked up
around town set out after them down
the Rock creek road. Dunn and Ker-
rigan ran their team Iell-f, r-leather
most of the % miles between Red Lodge
and Joliet. They pulled in with the
wheel spokeS rafting and the horses
in a lather. Dunn called for a fresh
team. hooked up to the blackboard again
and drove out north. Sam Oliver, then
a Joliet resident, concealed the wet and
heaving team in Harry Duffield's barn,
just a few minutes before the pursuing
party rode In. The pursuers could get
no information concerning the officers,
and seeing no spent horses at Joliet,
decided that Dunn had taken one Of
the trails over the west side to Col
umbus. Dunn and Kerrigan made it
in safety to the Yellowstone river fer
ry near Laurel, and took their man on
down to Billings for safe keeping.
When the ranccr at Red Lodge sub
sided, Salmon was brought back for
trial. He pleaded not guilty to the in
formation filed by County Attorney L.
B. Reno, and as his counsels George

CAREER OF JOHN DUNN, FIRST ELECTED SHERIFF OF CARBON
COUNTY, WAS FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT AND ADVENTURE; HIS
FIGHT wrTH WANTED MAN 40 YEARS AGO is STILL REMEMBERED

mot the sheriff., George Jones and
James: Dick. A statement, as to the
circumstances of the shooting, above
O'Connor's weakly scrawled signature,
was n of the most effective exhibits
by the state.
The verdict was returned on the SEQ
ond day, the sentence passed soon after,
and the death warrant filed by j. E.
MuShback, clerk of the court. The first,
and so far, the last execution in Car
bon county was held on a Friday
morning, Jan. 81, 1899, in the yard Of
the stone Jail THAT used to stand near
the present location of the Carbon
county high school. The wooden gal
lows, dismantled, lay for months in the
Jail yard. And for months afterward,
although Salmon had no kin of any
sort in Red Lodge, some person or per-
sons unknown carefully tended his
grave, in the potter's field on the bench
above the town.
John Dunn served two terms as sher-
iff before returning to the cattle bust
ness, in which he was associated with
various men. His cattle at different
times ranged the whole country, and
carried the reversed brand down into
Wyoming. For 10 years he operated the
big Sunlight ranch, now owned by Jess
Simington, with DR.. George Dilworth
of Red Lodge.
Later he acquired the old Smeth-
hurst property in the Rock creek an
yon, which he occupied until his death
While living in and neal Red Lodge
he was active in affairs of the town.
He served on the city council, and was
postmaster during the years of the
World war. He was chairman of the
county Democratic committee in 1912
and 1880, and again during the year
preceding his DEATH. ,
At the age of 10 he carried on his
work at the ranch in the canyon south
of Red Lodge until a few weeks before
his death, which came to him Jan. "a,
1888. He left his widow, a son., Frank,
and two daughters, Mrs. Mary E. Lind
quist and Mrs. c.. j. Pelo, besides his
friends in the communicated he had
many of them.

didn't shoot him, but knocked off chips
of rock S 10 close to Simpsons fingers
and toes that the young man decided
to come down and be taken back to
town.
Among the saddle hardened cattle
men in the county, there was none who
could outride Dunn. A rider expecting
to keep ahead of him needed at least
a days start, because Dunn was n of
those who could stay in the saddle
hours without end, sleep on horse back
if necessary, and keep the horse going
to its utmost. One trip he made, from
Red Lodge to M%eeteetse, Wyo., around
to Columbus, Mont. and back to Red
Lodge, was ridden in three days. He
made that ride on Old PAGER, a huge
bay that he used to swear by. He often
rode this PAGER to Columbus and back
in a single day. Another of his horses
was called Rabbit, or "Old Spot"-a big
gray with a red dappled rump, that
Dunn claimed was good for 100 miles
without feed or water almost any day.
Few men but John ever rode Rabbit,
because the gray was inclined to be re-
sentful if a stranger swung up on his
back.
Those who used to ride with him say
that he was a powerful, but alert sleep
er. At the end of a days ride he could
unsaddle, shake out his bedroll and go
to sleep before the horse had rolled
once, but he could come alive" just as
quickly. He not only had the range
mans ability to hear" things while
asleep, but he could "see'' as we'll. Lit
orally, he slept with n eye open. A
stitch in one Of his eyelids made it i'm
possible for him to keep the eye closed
for any length of time, and it stayed
open when he slept. The story is told
Of a rattlesnake that happened into a
group Of men sleeping out on the
ground. and how John promptly ap-
pretended the snake with his all-see-
ing and sleepless eye.
It was one of John Dunn's unpleasant
duties to execute the only man who was
hanged in Carbon county, after he had
defended that mans life from the an
ger Of a mob that would have killed
him.
On the morning of Sept. 10, 1898,
William O'Connor, superintendent for
the Rocky Fork Coal company, was
standing in the doorway of the mine
office. Thomas Salmon, q miner with
radical tendencies, walked up to the
superintendent and angrily demanded
the reason for his recent discharge
from the mine. O'Connor, who had al
ways been on friendly terms with Sal
mon, replied that n Of the foremen

over to the Belle Fourche authorities,
escaped from the hands of the law.
Gun play in the line of duty, how
ever, was the exception rather than the
rule with Sheriff Dunn, as most of his
captures were effected without the use,
and often without display of guns.
Those who knew him best say that he
was absolutely fearless, and that his
Ifearlessness was the reason for his
bloodless captures. His calm, nerveless
manner was disarming in itself.
His appearance wa not imposing. He
was just tall enough to escape the
short-man class, and he weighed, in
his prime, not than 100 pounds.
But most of his weight seemed to be
punched in his heavy, rounded should
ers, and in lifting, hitting, pulling, he
could do the work Of most any two
men. When he talked, which was sell
dom, it was in a thin, heightened voice.
This, with his blue eyes, and light color
ed hair, was rather deceivtng, but those
who knew him were not deceived.
Most of the offenders against the law
knew him, or had heard of him, and
some of those who practiced horse
thievery and robbery were his friends.
But when he came for them" they
knew that, despite his casual demeanor,
he was as alert and ready as a steel
trap-that he could and would plug the
life out of man before that man could
raise a gun or swing up a rifle barrel.
When he rode out of town, with a rifle
under his leg and a pistol or two swing
ing alongside, he was not making a
mere show of arms. He carried them
to use, and he could use them, though
he seldom had to.
He used to practice on nail heads
and dimes, at Is feet with pistols. Once
he gave a more practical demonstration
Of his craftsmanship. Judge Sidney
Fox of the district court had commit
ted q youth, Earl Simpson, to a state
reform institution. When released the
boy retaliated by stealing the judges
favorite saddle horse. Mounted on the
horse, he rode out the old Foster road
south Of Red Lodge, with the sheriff
coming about a quarter of a mile be-
hind him. Reaching the base of the
limestone needles" on the east side
of Mount Maurice, Simpson noticed
that Sheriff Dunn was gaining, so he
left his horse, and started climbing to-
ward the timber up the face OF rock
that rises from the bench above the
road. Dunn pulled up under the rock
and yelled at the boy to come down,
but Simpson climbed faster. He was
almost out Of sight when Dunn unlim-
oered his rifle and cut loose. Dunn
