W. H. YOT'NG, Treasurer of Decatur County. Iowa. H. G. SCOTT. Auditor of Decatur County. Iowa. zj.ee you a MUGGERTON [Original.] I was sitting in my editorial den pre paring matter for the Sunday edition when a big muscular fellow who looked like a prize fighter came iu and asked for employment. I feared that his real Intention was to rob me and dallied with him. "Any experience?" I asked. "Lots. I worked three weeks on the Bee. That's after I left college. a month ago." At mention of college I started. "Any creative faculty?" "You bet! I can flipg off a story any time." "I'm thinking of running a short sto ry every Sunday. Sit down there and let me see what you can do." He took a Beat at a vacant reporter's desk and wrote this story: "The nineteenth century was just twenty-five years old. It was the win ter season. By the wayside stood a hotel, with a barroom just off the of fice. The landlord was absent, and his daughter, a beautiful girl of eighteen, sat sewing behind the counter. Tho door opened, and a young man, a regu lar stalwart, walked up to the counter and registered. He wrote in a fine round hand, 'Dick Tutt, Central City, Colo.'" I paused and looked at the author. In 1825 the Rocky mountains where Central City is located had probably never seen a white man. 'I'm a cowboy, I am,' snid Mr. Tutt, sweeping the floor with his broad brim. 'I won $700 at faro off the boys punch in' cows around "Central," and I've come east to blow it in.' "As he spoke he drew a bead on the girl with his eagle eye and brought her down like an antelope. Talcing a key off a rack, she handed it to him, and he was about to go upstairs when a party came in smoking 'long nines' and took possession of the big stove in the center of the room. Mr. Tutt paused and watched tliem. They soon got to kicking up a row, and the girl started for the telephone to call the po lice/' "You've made a slight mistake," I remarked to the author. "The tele phone was invented half a century after the dale of your story." lie glared and ground his teeth like a lion poked with a long stick, and 1 went on reading. "Mr Tutt walked up to the lady and said: 'If you want these galoots tumbled out I reckon I can do the job.' "'No, sir,' replied the girl softly 'we never allow any shooting in this house.' 'Sliootin'!' exclaimed the gentleman. 'What do I need of a gun with such muscle?' And, rolling up his sleeve, he showed a biceps that measured a good, twenty inches, "Without waiting for permission hS sidled up to the man making the most no|se and, straightening his crooked arm, sent the fellow sailing like an ice boat along the floor till he brought up against the baseboard. Mr. Tutt then turned and faced the rest of the gang. It happened that Kid Malione was in the crowd, at that time training for a fight with Pat McCracken. lie step ped to the front, and a ring was formed. The kid was a featherweight With fancy list training, and the cow boy was strong as a bull buffalo. While the kid was dancing around the cowboy broke his guard, got a clutch on him and, raising him in the air, threw him into the next room. "This ended the fight. The gang picked up the unconscious kid and ran him out, for they didn't know but the police might come in any minute. 'IIow can I ever thank you enough?' remarked the young lady, going back to her sewing machine behind the counter." Again I paused to think. My recol lection was that the sewing machine did not come into use before 1850. "At that moment the old man walked 'Father.' said the girl, 'here's a guest from the wild and woolly west. A gang of rowdies came in a few min utes ag and made a disturbance. The gentleman cleaned them out' 'My friend,' said the landlord, 'what can I do for you? "Anything in this house is none too good for Riley," quoting a popular song.' 'Stranger,' said the cowboy, 'you've got only one thing I want, your daugh ter.' 'I'd rather part with my new Colt's pistol or my typewriting machine, but if she's willing you have my consent.' "When they were married the cow boy wore a woolen shirt, corduroy trousers, boots and spurs. The bride wore white muslin." Having finished the story, I looked up at the author. "Did you take a full course in col lege?" I asked. "Well, no. I was brought in for a special when the varsity team went into training for the annual football game. I left college Just before the examination." "I see. You are"— "Muggerton." "The tackle that laid everybody out opposed to your college last season?" "The same." "Why did you place the scene of your story so far back as to time?" "Well, you see, I ain't up to what's going on, and by the looks of you I thought you might not be either, so I set it back where the mistakes would not be noticed." "You've made a blunder on every line. How would you like to run a page of sports?" "Bully!" "Very well. I'll Btart you In at $30 week." BARTON WILLIAMSON. Mrs. D. F.

Mr. Daniel Jones was the victim of cruel accident Thursday afternoon. He and Elder E. B. Morgan were riding a top buggy and Mr. Jones was leading a horse behind it. As they passed an other team he thinks the animal's atten tion was suddenly[attracted, causing it to stop, which jerked Mr. Jones' right hand into such a position that his thumb was caught between two of the upright pieces supporting the buggy and cut and wrenched nearly entirely off. One artery was left, from which Dr. Goff, who was called, hopes that sufficient blood can be supplied to en able him to save the thumb. Mr. Jones manifested his usual coolness and pres ence of mind in the hour of so painful an accident, and is taking a very phil osophical view of the situation. "If it cannot be saved,! shall have to learn to do without it." A good lesson for all. We sincerely hope it can be saved. Lamoni Patriot. Lard CLARK & FRESH MEAT!
