I thought I was big enough to do ft and that he orter be made an example of, but 'long comes the supreme court and revarses niy de cision and sends Jim back for a new trial. That's him over in lie box. and he's lookin' jest a bit meaner than when he left yere. . -it was my Idea that Jim Hoke knowed his gait as a court and that whatever be said went, but I've dis- kivered that I'm only second fiddle. Its a surprise party on me. but. as 1 said a little while ago. I'm goin to take a back seat. Jim Watkins, you can now stand cp.

When I was elected jestice of the peace In and fur .the country, of Sandy Bend, it was ginerally understood that every body could hev law and jestice by 'the shovelful. You had the right to pop at Pete, but no right to wake this court up. You ar' tharfore fined $25 and costs, which will be about as" much more. You hollered fur justice and hev got it, and if the boys wasn't goin' to run you outer town I'd double the fine! Pete, how much money you got?" "About $50." "Then I'll gin you a dose of Jestice at the same time! The vardict is that you pay a fine of $15 fur bein' the cause of this yere row, and as court adjourns we'll go over to my saloon, and you kin spend $10 or $15 more treatin' the crowd.
