When Hank Taylor was put on trial | at Strawberry Hill for killing Steve Brown, he pleaded guilty, and in a little Speech to the crowd he said: | In course you'll hang me. I expect it, and shall be disappointed if you don’t. But I want it understood right | eer i ts hey rights.” “What them rights, prisoner?” queried Bill Totten, vi i Spey » Who was acting “Waal, I want to be hung with a new rope. I was brought up respec- tably and I want to die that wa Then I want to wear a biled shirt. A was brung up to wear biled shirts, and I don’t want to disgrace the fam'ly. I want to be shaved, to have my hair combed and parted in the middle, and aes i ae Cooper lendin’ me his utes. Thats my rights, 4 shall insist on Deel argae “Pri er, hain’t you just a little too ! inquired the judge. “Hain’t it puttin’ this ‘ere camp to a good deal of extra trouble for no real benefit? Whar are we goin’ to get a biled shirt, for instance?” “I dunno, but we hey got to hey one. Do you s’pose I’m goin’ to bring up in the other world with this old red shirt on? They wouldn't allow me to stake a claim or set up a shanty.” “How are you goin’ to be shaved, when we hain’t got no razors in camp? We kin furnish you some grea nd & comb, but thar can't be no shavin’.” “Got to be,” replied Hank. “I hain’t goin’ over the divide lookin’ like a wolf with his winter fur on. And as fur grease, I want reglar bar's ile. I 3 bound to look just as purty as I in.” “Zeke, will you lend him your butes?” asked the judge. “Naw! I could never feel easy in "em ag’in!” “Then I don’t hang!” retorted the prisoner. “Mind you, boys, I hain’t denyin’ that I killed Steve, whom everybody knows was a_ provokin’, cantankerous cuss and orter been kill- ed long ago, and I hain’t kickin’ as to what will follow. I'm jest stickin’ out fur my rights. S’posin’ any one 0’ you_was goin’ to arirve in the other world as a tenderfoot, wouldn't you want to look fairly decent?” “That's so, t ,” mused the judge. “In course, it'll be known that you cum from Strawbury Hill, and, in course, we'll hey a pride in fittin’ you out in decent shape. The prisoner will be removed while we hev a talk.” We had a talk. We couldn’t get a white shirt, a new rope and a razor anywhere within 100 miles. And, Hank had observed, Steve Brown was always saying mean things and pro- voking quarrels and wasn’t much ac- count. After discussing the pros and cons, it was decided to overlook the offense and let up on Hank, but, after telling him our decision, the judge said: “But don’t do it again, Hank. It are the opinyun of some of the boys that you were too darned particklar about the biled shirt, and of others that you were right about wantin’ to make a decent appearance on the other shore, and so we decided to call it squar’. Next time, however, we'll hang you with a mule rope and in yer old duds and let ye run all the chances.” “Wall, boys, fix it to suit yourselves and it'll suit me,” carelessly replied the prisoner, and court was adjourned and we returned to work.—Anaconda Standard. A Gander Pulling. *Did you ever see a gander pulling?” asked George Horner. “Well, if you didn’t,” he went on, “you ought to hustle right down into eastern Ken- tucky and see the show of your life. I went down there on business a few years ago, and after I had secured all the passengers from the township I went out to a sort of ‘harvent home’ a few miles in the country. The prin- cipal event of the occasion was a gander pulling, which, as I subsequent- ly learned, was the most looked-for at- traction of the whole countryside. “About 2 o'clock the country swains rode up by the dozen, each mounted on a rough nag as bony and coarse as its rider. A strong hickory sapling was bent over about three feet from the top and tied with a rope, making a sort of shepherd’s crook. At the end of this crook, which was as springy as a piece of thin steel, a tough, veteran gander was tied by the legs. The rid- ers formed a line 100 yards back, and at a signal started, full speed, each man ten feet apart, for the gander. The riders rushed by the crook, yel!- ing, shouting and screaming. As each man reached the suspended bird he grabbed for it. Sometimes a handful of feathers was secured, but more usually only a squawk was the re- sponse. For an hour the riders kept up their wild sport, the old gander still hanging on to life and making noise enough for a flock of birds. “By 3 o'clock the riders were half full of Kentucky mountain whiskey. Talk about your wild riders of the far West! They were never in it with these gander pullers of the Southeast. Such yelling I never heard. Such curs- ing, laughing and shouting was never surpassed. Suddenly a wild applause burst forth. I looked and saw a tall, young fellow, a handsome man for that region, borne on the shoulders of a crowd. “‘He’s got it! was the cry. -‘He's the best man! “And so he did have it—the head of that tough, tormented old gander. Talk about enthusiasm! It was wonderful, and the drunk that followed still more wonderful. If you want to see genu- ine, brutal, savage sport among white people, see the gander pulling in the Kentucky mountains. It will prepare you for the sun dances of the Apaches and the Navajoes.”—St. Louis Repub- lic. Tne Shot Drill. In the shot processof drilling through rock, steel shot are poured inside the drill pipe into a ring or channel made in the rock by a few revolutions of the pipe. The pipe bears on this ring of shot, and when it is revolved it causes the shot to revolve also and cut the channel in the rock deeper. As boring large holes through hard rock by means of diamonds (which are now costing from three to four times as much as they did a few years ago) is very ex- pensive work, the new process of drilling by means of steel shot will, it is expected, be used in many cases in- stead of the diamond drill. A test boring, eight inches in diameter and 390 feet deep, was recently put down. | —tInvention. | the murderer of the late May | rison began promptly at 10 o'clock. P.A. DICKSON —WITH— |H.
