SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1925 Y | The Arizona Sheriff Nimble Gun and Motor Car Help Him to . Bring Swift and Sure Justice THE SEVENTH NOTCH “Partner, just git on that horse 0’ yourn and start ridin’; and don’t tet! the sun go down on you in Cochise county, ‘cause if you do, you'll wake up loc 1 St. Peter r in the c \When Andy “Darneli—bad man, good cowpuncher and_ all-around much-to-be-feared character—directed that conversation toward a citizen of Cochise, the population of the community was just about sure to be one less the next day—elther in actual count or by the coroner's rec- re vuit matter a whit to Andy, which way the individual went, elth. er. It wasn't any trouble for Andy to kill a man; the only annoyance it gave him was that he had to clean his pistol afterward, There are six deep notches on yourn and start ridin‘; an’ don’t let the sun go down’on you in Cochise county, ‘cause if you di u'll wake up looking old St. Pete ht in the face.” The foreman left, as did many af- terwar That phrase became Andy's trade- mark. While it was being establish. ed, he killed, in addition to the first Mexican and miner, another Mex!- can, two gamblers and a cowpunch- er with his wichéd-looking six gun. The seventh man, shot through lung and abdomen, later was found to have been a horsethief, most de- testable of criminals in the cow country. Andy felt that the charac- ter of this Individual was such that he ought to take some credit In the thief'’s demise, since the community thereby had been bettered. But one day, Andy Darnell, d¢s- perado now, picked the wrong: man now in Andy's big 45 frame gun, possession of ‘“‘the deputy from Yavapai,”* A seventh notch is only a short one. Andy was always doubtful and somewhat uncertain and apologetic about that seventh notch. You see, he shot a man who lived two months in a hospital, then caught pneumo- nia and died. Andy figured he was entitled to some credit, but didn’t allow he eould claim a full notch., His first victim was a Mexican monte dealer in a gambling joint out of Wilcox, a, bit to the eastward, many years ago, while Andy was still a fresh young cowpuncher, and a good one. He always was a good cowman; he roped cattle with his lariat da la vuelta (pronounced dally welta), which means he used a 60- foot rope wound several] times around the saddle horn, Instead of being tied, so he could ease it off in a pinch. No one ever knew Andy to be yanked off his horse. The aver- age rope is 35 to 40 feet long. But, to go on with the story. This monte dealer marked a card, by put- ting a ridge in its edge with his thumb nail. Said Andy: “Just a minute there, amigo; did you mark that card intentional?” The dealer, caught, shrugged his shoulders, smiled and replied: “Si, senor, eef you insis’. Whereat Andy shot him neatly but somewhat effectively through the head, and the gume was over. They hunted around for a justice, of the peace or a territorial officer to hold an inquest and found one at Wilcox. ‘Twelve cowpunchers sat on the jury, though six is a legal panel. Andy told how the Mexican had admitted the cheat. No one cared much about the cheating itself, but much was eald about the admitting of it. And the jury brought in a verdict: “Justifiable homicide.” His next victim was a miner, met in a dive on Brewery Gulch, Bisbee, most noted ‘‘Iine’ of dives in any southwestern state until cleaned up a number of years ago. They sat at one table, very friendly indeed. A Spanish girl, dancing, tossed a red artificial rose upon their table. Tho miner reacted for it. His funeral occurred two days la- ter, without benefit of clergy. Andy was now a tough hombre. About the only streak of sentiment he ever showed was over Conchita’s rose, for that night he had seized her and kept her with him for a week before she slipped out on a horse and got away. The foreman of the ranch where worked came ‘nto Bisbee one , but kept aloc the cow- stay ner Queen el ins: ) Brewery Is, and he & b round With the cowm This* incensed Andy, Im out after the remark who sought miinight and verified To his own foreman Andy first. used the phrase later to sound Uke! the sin'ster wong of 2 rattler in the ears of over @ dozen pien? artner, Just git on that horse 0 RADIATORS Why Wait for Zero?

BRANSON SERVICE 616 E. 2nd—Phone 383 to warn with the time-honored ulti- matum> This man was Srank John- son, still a resident of Bisbee, a small man with more nerve than two teeth. Andy had recited the warning which to some was a life saver, and to oth- ers a dirge. But Frank opined he'd let a lot of suns set on him in Cochise county, because he had a home and family there. Andy's right hand started toward the deadly 45. Said Frank: “Andy, do you see that mountain oyer there?” pointing to Sacramento mountain, a craig of almost pure copper ore now being demolished for the metal, just outside Bisbee, “Do you care particular which side of that hill you'd rather be bur- fed on?” Darnell’s gaze returned to Frank, who had gained just enough time to get hold of his own gun. It was then a race fce~ Hfe on the draw. Frank, who can shoot a running coy- ote with a 45 and then put two more beat Andy to it. On his body they found his gun— and Conchita's roee, now faded and stained. The slogan was buried with Andy, bullets into its body before it falls, | In crossing streets the pedestri- an_should remember: That it is safer to. cross at crossings rather than in the middle of the block. That jay-walking—the crossing of streets at places other than crossings—is one of the com- monest causes of accidents. That it is far better to wait for traffic signals. Stop when the lights or signals are against you. 4 Go when motor cars are stop- ped; when the way is clear for you. Don't take chances. It is dangerous to dart in front of moving motor vehicles when those vehicles are compelled by signal to go. WALTER P. CHRYSLER'S.

It seemed like hours since she had called her. Wyman walked slowly across the hall and peered into the Ubrary. At the threshold he turned and glanced back at Laurel. For a mo- ment he paused, then he returned to her side. “Laurel, I hope we can always be friends.” She peered again {nto the dark- ness, then faced him. “Yes, FRIENDS, Wyman." For a moment they stood eye to eye, current passing between them, then Laurel turned back to the wi dow. Now she could see a car flas! ing its light up the drive.

Her husband, looking around with a helpless air for a place to deposit the wrap, let it fall tpon-a chair and followed by Laurels side. “Girls will be girls,” he remarked, with the suggestion of a beam. “Yes—yes!"” A. second later she couldn't have told whether she had said yes or no. If the late arrival of Mrs, Brent Daly, imposing dowager, occasioned any surprise pmong the merry- making guests, they did not tndl- cate it. The dance went on, and the noise continued. She stood s - ing at the rowdy spectacle, her o or rising higher every fraction a second. One. glance at his wife caused Brent Daly to leave La p| side and wander, carelesslike, into the hall.
