They Had Cut Him Down.

One day, in the lively old time of cowboy activities, a timid tenderfoot at Bitter Creek asked tremblingly if that bad man, Bill Busher, was hanging around there yet. “No,” replied the native who was asked. “But he was last week.” “Are you sure?” said the tenderfoot “Positive. I had hold of the rope.” —Browning’s Magazine.
