How Justice Temporarily Miscarried In the Case of Tarantula Jim Versus Joe Biff and an Ornament of the Bench and Bar Was BamL ozled. By M. QUAD. [Copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary Press.] FOR ten minutes previous to opening court Judge Hoke sat in bis place with a look of sor| row on his face and sighs es caping from his lips at intervals. It was evident that he was laboring under strong mental emotion. It was a long minute after the crier had made his cry that his honor looked around the room and said: "This 'ere court as a court is ashamed to look you in the face. This 'ere court as Tom Hoke, owner of the Red Dog saloon, spent a good share of last night kicking hisself around the graveyard. "For fifteen long years Tom Hoke has been the high peg in this town of Sandy Bend. His Red Dog saloon has Tye pbunk bah'&s of human gobe!' kept the best liquors, and his poker rooms have given the squarest deals, lie's had to kill seven men in (hn^ time, but in every case the eo;:on:;' has complimented him on his shooting "For ten long years Tom Hoke has been Judge Hoke. He has mixed justice and common sense together and ladled it ont the best he knowed how In arriving at his legal decisions be h?i* lw>pn <-arefill of the honor of the great and only west as well as the rights of plaintiff and defendant Where honor is lost nil Is lost. "You all remember the case of Joe Biff versus Tarantula Jim. I sent Joe to the pen for five years for highway robbing Jim. He appeals to a higher court and gets the decision reversed on me. and I# am directed to giTe bira a new trial. "My friends, go back with me a year. It is a perfect full day. The birds are singing and the byotes yelping, and every critter in tfandy Bend is n-thanking heaven that he's alive and kicking. As lie dwells on the thought that lie's a son of I he west his heels lift 1 ? ? * ? -- ?? ./! twtriM /IriiiL-inj' i-h:irr?

You all know how lie hn<i swaggered and lorded ir orer us. Knr! ly in the game I was asked my opinion : of Tarantula Jim. May heaven forgive I mo. hut I sized liim up as had?had ! from hair to heel. I thought he carried j the true brand. This 'ere court, not ! only as a court, hut as Tom Iioke of the Red Dog, has seen many, many i bad men. He has dropped a few of j them. He has had years of experience j in sizing up human critters. J'm say ing this, and I'm saying that I'd have bet the Red Dog agin' an army mule that Tarantula was the worst of the lot.. "I hain't saying that any of us trembled in his presence, but we was rather careful in addressing hire, and we didn't win from him in poker beyond a certain point. We gineralJy agreed with him in all he said, and if there w is any drinking we paid the shot The Unpretending Biff. "Has Tarantula ever killed a man in Sandy Rend? Nary one. ne's made j to draw on several, and he's yelled at others till they was made to leave town, but as for shooting he's withheld his hand. His excuse was that if be was once aroused lie couldn't hold liissclf. :ir??l the town of Sandy Komi would he laid in sackcloth and ashes. \Joo r.i;T ts n<>t a had man. He nev 11 J?p?? ?? ?fl er pretended to be. He's alius beeu ready to admit, like the true gentleman he is, that he's more'n half kyote. He hain't got but one sound lung, and he's cockeyed in the left eye. "Joe is over to Wild Cat hill on his i aim. He's got a lame back and is laying off work. On a sartin day Tarantula Jim comes a-cavorting that way to yell at somebody and keep his reputashun at the head of the class. He sees Joe. and he draws a long breath and yells. That 'ere yell was heard two miles and stampeded 3,000 steers. It made Bald mountain tremble. It split bowlders as big as a house. It made trees bend as if a hurricane was raging. "That 'ere yeil was gelled to skeer Joe Biff out of his shirt and leave him a naked corpse. Did it do it? Not by a durn sight. He didn't move a leg. He didn't bat an eye. It was only when a second yell came that he picked up his gun and asks of Tarantula: "'What's the coinmoshun?' " 'I'm Tarantula Jim!' "What of it?' " 'I've druuk barfs of human gore! I've eat tons of human flesh! I've'? "Jim paused right thar, my friends. He paused bekase Joe's gun kivered him. aud Joe kindly asked hira to dismount and give that cayuse a rest. "Jim got down. Not auofher yell: not a gun drawn. The Rout. "When he was down he was turned to head for the Ilend and then given the triad foot Yes. ye gods of the wild and woolly west, be sot the boot and started off oil the run! He arrives here panting like a man with four aces in his hand and $.r>00 in the pot. He tells me that he's been highway robbed, and he yells for justice. It was a busy day at the Red Dog. but I puts thirty customers aside and writes out a warrant for Joe Biff and sends out the constable. "At the trial Tarantula piles it on. but Joe jest sets and grins and makes no defense. On the evidence I have to send him to prison, but he goes grinning. He has something up bis s)eeve. If I'd known what I know now he'd hare been patted on the back. The higher court says I must reverse andgive him a new trial. Higher court be hanged! There won't be no new trial, bekase Joe Biff stands here to be iooked upon as a hero and to be told that his drinks at the Red Dog for the next year won't cost him a cent and bekase Tarantula Jim has fled tbo Bend and ?'will be'seen among us no more. He wasn't robbed IIo was simply kicked. I Decadence of the . "My friends, is this the r.tisL:! Mas j the Rocky mountains been flattened t tiottu to gi'CT; (tftiiiji On?
