An Attempted Reform. 1 Ordinal. "Why don't you Highball Galch people organize?" asked the tenderfoot, wiping his eyeglasses with a cambric handkerchief. "You should have a city government, courts and all that sort o' thing. Then you'd begin to get civilized." "We did try that onct and it didn't seem to work pretty much." way not. ( "I think we got too much of it at oncet. or it wa'n't jist what this yere kind of a community required.

It wa'n't long afore he could do anything he p eased with any of us. At that time the sa loons and gambiin' houses was doin' a pretty big business, and scarcely a day passed that there wa'n't a shootin' match. Then the stranger I dlsremember his name suggested what you did. " 'How do you do it?' asked one of our best citizens. ' 'First you must elect a town council and a mayor. The mayor can appoint the judge of the court and its officers. That's about all you need In a small nlace like this.

The gamblers, seein' that th rltWana rtonrf ariiAlr nn thir ! mayor and council, just shut up shop ; and went elsewhere. Then the mayor had the council pass a high license bill. and this did away with the saloons. There was a few grumblers who ! couldn't git their liquor when they i wanted it, but the citizens as a body acquiesced, and the law was a dead sure plzon killer. "A boss thief was arrested, and, instead of strlngin' him up in the usual way, he was brought before the court. The mayor set beside the judge to post him. Nobody seen the hoss thief take any bosses. lie wa'n't takln' 'em that a-way; he was runnin' 'em off in the middle o' the night. The mayor tole the judge to instruct the jury to bring in a verdic' in accordance with the evidence. There "wa'n't no evidence; there wa'n't no need o' no evidence, 'cause everybody knowed the prisoner was a hoss thief. But the judge give 'em the law that the man was Innocent till he was proved guilty, and they must find a verdic in accordance with the evidence. Waal, when the jury got into the jury room they looked at one another kind o' queer. They could do nothin' but acquit the hoss thief, and so they did. "This wa'n't very satisfyin', especially when the hoss thief tuk the judge's hoss with him when he left town. Some one thought the law had better be changed, regardin' hoss thieves particularly. But the mayor said it would come out all right, and the citizens acquiesced. "Next day there was a shootln' match. Nat Tucker shot and killed Cy Alien when they was a-talkin' on the street. Tucker was tried, the mayor ag'in coachln' the court. A witness testified that he hearn Allen call the prisoner a "low down cuss." Another testified that he hearn Allen call the prisoner "a pestiferous varmint" A third give the most important testimony of all. lie said Allen spoke disrespectful of Tucker's woman." "Was she a good woman?" asked the tenderfoot. "Sartin. 'S long as she lived with a man she kep' straight though she wasn't particular about a marriage ceremony and didn't stick to no one o' 'em very long. When this testimony come out for the defense the jury made up their minds to acquit the accused without leavin' their seats, but the judge, advised by the mayor, tole 'em there was no evidence justifyin' the killin' and they'd have to coDvict Tucker. They done it though they didn't like to, and Tucker was elected to swing. "Tucker he'd alius been one o the leadin' citizens and had helped the mayor organize. When the verdic' was announced he riz up and lookin' at the mayor he eays, eays he: " 'Mr. Mayor, this civilizin' process you've Introduced among us may be very fine, but it's death on this community. You got rid of rum and gamblers, though we need the rum muchly. But what about hoss stealin' and a man pertectin' the came of the woman he keeps company with? Ef this yere civilizin' machinery goes on there won't be a hoss left in Highball Gulch nor a female perfected. I don't care what you and the council and the court nor the rest of the citizens of the Gulch do. but as for me, I've bad enough of the experiment and I'm goin In future to attend to my own business in my own way. Any man Interferin' with me I'll send where I sent Cy Allen. "Lie walked outeti the courtroom and when his back was turned everybody seen a revolver hangin to each hip, which the sheriff forgot to remove. "That killed the plan; the gamblers and rum sellers come back, and onct more the citizens of Highball Gulcb breathed free." ALEXANDER ELY.
