Was It a Joke?
About d:,'to o'clock Inst evening Sam
Myers was standing in front of his sa-
loon when a farmer by the name of
Clark, who lives twelve miles north-
west of town come out of King & Kep-
ner's and walked past him. Sam has
been having more fun this week than
any man in town. In fact he has been
in a playful mood all the time and has
furnished plenty of amusement for his
friends, lie was bubbling over just as
Clark went by him, so he sent one of
these little oome back balls out, strik-
ing t lark in the face. Clark turned
on liini with a shot gun lit* was carry-
ing. broke the gun and stuck a shell in-
to it with the expression, "I guess I'll
just take a shot at you, you S I'
deputy Sheriff Win Fox was standing
by antl grabbed Clark.
After being placed under arrest
Clark said he did it just for fun. Sam
was under the impression that it was a
II tie more than a huge joke but be
was having too much fun to stop and
swear out a warrant for the fellow.
Clark's w ife finally secured his release
and hi' wns sent home w ith the advice
never to bring that gun to town with
him agiiin.
Mayor Youst is making quite a repu-
tation for himself as a pugilistic aspir-
ant. He landed on a man last night
and the fellotiL«ra« counted out with-
out any more^mo.
