some more.
"Doc" Wilkins Whlked to the Post
Office as usual for his mail one day
during the week. Doc claims he is
some relation to Ben Turpin. We
don’t doubt the statement. How
about "Algutt” Johnston? (Ben Tur
pin, for the benefit of those subscrib
ers away off in the mountains of Alas
ka or some place, is the little fellow
in the movies with both eyes looking
at the other one—which reminds us
that the old saying of the Bible, "ne
ver let thy right hand know what thy
left hand is doing," does not apply
to these three.)
Jim Millstead, one of our few re
maining old time cowboys, says that
novels and newspaper articles are all
wrong when they describe the villlan
or someone hitting someone else over
the bean with the butt of a six-shoot
er. He sayp that the six-shooter is
held in the hand by the handle or
butt, and that the hitting over the
head is done with the barrel. We
might know more about this, only he
proceeded to go into such vivid de
scriptions of such an act with the
help of an old monkey wrench, that
the reporter was forced to flee for
his life.
Russell Crane returned from the
East last week, though we carelessly
forgot to mention the fact. He has
a new ovarcoat which he claims he
got for fifty dollars, and has once
[ more resumed his duties at the card
tables of local billiard halls. Russell
made several trips to his old ranch
on Timber Creek during the week in
preparation toward moving to his new
ranch, the Markham place on the
bench just outside of Cody. Mre.
Crane and two babies are expected
on Saturday and the Cranes will oc
cupy the Greene residence until
moving into their new home.
