This He isCannon Trying Hard to Prove That He Is With Law-artd-Order Elementof Village The town plotters of Happy Kan-yon have spared no efforts in making this a real bad man's town, and to this purpose have sought far and wide for . _ , vindictive judges of the kangaroor. and' court, finally securing the, services of •very C. D. Roseberry, R. B. Dalton, Dr. P. unity,. P. Lucke and J, G. Koenig, edded I These four men, having taken the I they oath to refuse bail to all suspects ath of under all conditions, will take turns being Judge Lynch during the Legion’s jamboree at the Armory Feb. 12 to 15 inclusive. It is understod that one of 'these men has made a, will leaving all his money to the town for building a new jail if he is btimped off. Members of the committee entrusted with the duty of notifying these men of their appointment state that one and all turned pale, but resolutely accepted.A frontier town of this character naturally attracts a bad element, which always follows the trail of gold and the lure of soft piekin's. Among those who have bought tickets for Happy Kanyon are two-gun men, horse thieves, had Injuns, and plain ornery ctisses—quite a few of the latter. Some of these hombres* are known to he quick on the draw, and the judges have been taking lessons from the golf expert who is in town. iim — i|| The ever watchful vigilance com-11 raitlee will be especially watchful in N I Dead Man’s alley, where, according to ■ ‘ reliable reports, at least one man was. killed every night since yesterday. Killing Is Frowned Upon The new-fangled notion of votes for women is getting a strong . hand in Happy Kanyon, and it^looks as if the duly elected and life-insured mayor would be ousted by the feminine element, which is certainly getting the whip hand. This means that the village will probably have a mayoress in office next election.In order to stave off the threatened land-slide, Mayor Harry Cannon is doing everything in his power to show |hat he is with the law-and-order element, and has .notified the quick-draw men that promiscuous killing'will no longer he allowed. In fact, shooting someone, unless it is a horsethief or a road-hog, is frowned upon in Happy Kanyon. ^In anticipation of lively times when Mayor Cannon tries to enforce this hitherto unprecedented order, hardware stores are laying* In plentiful supplies of rope. Contracts have been let for strengthening the calaboza, for the administration does not intend to have anybody or anything break out— not even smali-pox. All who register in the calaboza can leave their cares behind. Safety first will be the aim of the new jail keeper. The Legion will try to make Happy Kanyon a safe place for a peaceful citizen to live in, if be, is quick on . the draw and a pretty good shot.of all or and rangeimer-John-Iks.on.Ee.n,ihing*jsley,hog(ton.hog*on.nlaintern,ie.field*Sowp*'swwronl;quapov a b ove1gascolleoudpsJ tax cus a hlt; sea are eve Hgi zatl exeT a It in i gre Jiiot waf Sta “Ri tax;moiverWCNinBpurforimrM.Thlt;fanduehellfroiAdaiipurtioibulinev and wit mei dus a p ave as lt;sconavathetheinbretheXStilgarin i priitheWiAllMuMy
