HOW JIM ALLISON AND BLUFFED
KILLED HIS MAN THE COURT.
Surprised That tte Was Arrested For Shoot- ing a Creaser, but Submitted to the War- rant Server—The Tenderfoot Judge Aad-
journed the Court Conditionally,
One of the most picturesque events in Jim Allison's life was his experience with a tenderfoot judge at Flagstaff, A. T., BOIne 12 years ago At that time Durango, Colo., was as lively a town as ony in the west. Gam- biiag and saloon keeping comprised the oaly business done, and shootings were of
nightly occurrence. Nobe Hyatt was the mretshal, and he ipyited Jim Allison to help him keep orde#, d the larger part of the population, and their fights with knives created great bavce. If wes in oye of these stabbing affrnye that Aiiison interfered, and, during the ex change of volleys, he found it necessary $0 kill two Mexican brothers. Themen were leaders of the best Greaser circle of Du- rango and their death caused great excite- nent. Many threats were uttered ugainst the assistant marshal. He had tv choose between a knife in the back some dark night or departure from town. It was impossible to avoid the Mexicans, and. though a brave man, Allison deemed dis- cretion the better part of valor, and went Some three months afterward Allison was in Flagstaff, A. T. It was a typical fronticr tuwn at that time, built of pine boards and vanvas, with a few adobe bute, Jt was a warm afternoon and Allison lounged in thedining room of the National hotel eating his dinner. Suddenly there was a slight commotion outside, and a big Mexiean, resplondont with silverand braid and Jace, stalked into the dining room Allison apparently paid bo attention to
him as he walked to the table where the ynarshal was sitting and cook the chair op- posite,
‘*You killa my brothers, d—n you, but now 1 killa you,”’ he called out, raising a big bore revolver above the table's edge.
A. loud report followed these words, and a body sprawied on the floor. The Mexican was dead. Allison had shot under the ta- ble before his opponent could draw trigger. The body was removed, and Allison and the other guests resumed their dinner. It was only another Greaser kilied, and a Greaser's life didn’t count for much in the @almy days of Flagstaff. Allison had no thought of getting away. It was a fair and square killing, and the law had no business to interfere. However, court was in session not 86 yards from the hotel, and Judge Dunkins was new to the bench and to the social customs of the place. He heard of the shooting as court convened for the afternoon session and immediately dssued a bench warrant for Allison on the charge of murder.
“How you feelin, Jimf’ asked Ike (Reeves, who had the warrant in his pocket, as he met Allison later in the day. ‘‘Is your temper good this afternoon?’’
‘Fate to middlin, I guess,’’ replied Jim. **What’s up?’’
“Oh, nothin much,’’ respondei the sheriff. ‘‘Got a tenderfoot jedge over byah, and he’s issued a warrant for you, and I didn’t know just how to serve it.’’
“‘What’s the warrant for?’’
‘Shooting the Greaser.’’
‘Well, I'm surprised.’’
“I can’t help it, Jim. Don’t blame me for bis d——d foolishness.”’
“You're all right, Ike. I ain’@ blamin noone. It’sall right. If they want to pinch a map for killin a Greaser, I s’pose
they've got the power, but all the same it's a mighty queer law. I'll go along with you, Ike.”’
“And you won't make any trouble?”’
“Not a buck.’’
“All right, Jim. I'm much obleeged. But you'll have to let me have your wee- pons.’’
Allison looked at his rifle, fondled the two big revolvers and the bowle knife in his belt, gazed at the courthouse and tien drew the hammer of his rife toa full cock.
**T can’t do that, Ike,’’ he replied. ‘‘If You want the guns, you've got to fight for “em Vil ge along uli right with my guns, bus I aln’tgoin te let noone else touch
em.’
' Tho eheriff had no chancein a fight with Allis -n, and he knew it, so he waived the point and walked ahead with Jim close at his heels. The judge was on the bench as ‘the twain entered the courtroom, but no case Was on trial. Jim Allison marched through the crowd with his rifle under his arm, ready to present and fire at a mo- znent's potice, and took his place before the judge.
‘‘What's the meaning of this?’’ asked ‘the sternly, eying Allison’s arms.
‘*Hyah's your prisoner, jedge,’’ said the sheriff. ‘‘It's the peopleag’in Jim Allisor

‘Disarm the prisoner!’’ shouted the judge.
Two bailiffs started toward Jim, who only shook his head.
“The prisoner refuses to give up his arms,’’ said one of the bailiffs.
“Tho court orders that the prisoner be disarmed!’’ thundered the judge, avcentu- ating his demand by thumping the table with a lawbook.
The bailiffs drew their revolvers, and the spectators began to edge toward the door.
‘‘Don’t come no closer, boys,’’ Allison said quietly, cocking his rifle and loosen- ing one of the revolters in his belt.
The beiliffa halted and looked appeal- ingly at the judge.

There doesn’t seem to be very much the matter with your child. He doesn’t ac- tually lose weight, but there is no gain. He belongs to that large class of children that don’t seem to prosper. You look at him a little more thoughtfully than you do at the rest and say “ He is not doing well.” Failure to gain in weight in a child isa danger signal. Scott’s Emulsion should be taken at once. It puts on fat where health demands it, strengthening the digestion.

SCHEME TO SWELL DIVIDENDS.
Device Employed by Some Gas Companica and How to Thwart It.
Having graduated from the Shefic!3 Scientific school, where he made a spe study of the chemistry of lumina: gases, he quickly found a position wiih one of the older gas companies in a city which shall be nameless.) He remained two years and then resigned. He had boen reared in ‘the Methodist faith, and he con- fided to a friend that he could not retain his position without doing violence to his protesting conscience.
“Tt is a good thing for corporations thet they have no souls,’’ he said when chat- ting about his experiences, ‘‘as they are relieved of all fear of future punishment. The cighth commandment is apparently unknown to the general manager of the company with which I was associated. Did you ever have gas bills rendered for
unts seemingly out of all proportion to the quantity of gas you thought you had burned?”’ '
Every member of the group nodded a vigorous affirmative.
‘*Possibly your mefors are defective,” he observe, ‘but in the district served by~ my former employers there was always a! ‘kick’ comirg from the Consumers, and yet the meters were absolutely accur.te in their operation. Every month the com- pany collected front 10 to 15 per cent more than it was honestly entitled to, which was a tidy little profit on the sids, Tow’ was it managed? Easily enough. Every night shortly after midnight the pressture in the mains was raised enormously. Un- der this increased pressure the gas was forced through the meters and compressed in the various pipes in the buildiag of the consumer. Naturally the meters .ccurate- ly registered all the gas thus forced through them. Later the pressure was reduced be- low the normal, and there was a rceturn flow through the pipes, but as the meters would not back register the gas flowed through them from the house to the mains without producing any alteration in the figures. Sticking to this system of pump- ing, the company succeeded in getting a showing at the end of the month that was largely in its favor.’’
‘‘Was there no way in which the con- sumer could protect himself?’’ inquired one curious member of the circle of listen- ers. ‘‘Certainly, but as he knew nothing of the method by which he was being swin- dled the simple checkmating scheme never occurred to him. The prudent man wo carefully turned off his gas at the metor every night when he was through with it paid only for what he got. The ‘milking’ of the meters was then impossible.’’
And every one who heard how it was done made a mental resolution to us» the meter shut off thenceforward, even while consoling himself that the Chicago com- panies are above resorting to any petty fraud of this character.—Chicago Times- Herald.
The Rothschild Business.
The Rothschilds have done a great den! for Frankfort in the way of benovelence ns well as business, and itis the custom of the family to distribute a large sum of money among the deserving poor of their sect annually upon the Jewfsh New Year. The most conspicuous of their benevo- lences is a public library, which occupies the former residence of Carl Mayer Roths- child and was founded by his daughter several years ago.
The banking business of the family is conducted in the same old fashioned hiuild- ing it has eecupied ever since the frm was established In the early part of this con- tury. Itis situated where once stood the gate of the Judengasse, on the boundary line between the Jewish and the Christian cities. Everything about it is strikingly plain and old fashioned. There ar no carpets on the flour, and the desks and finishings are of pine instead of the ma- hogany that you find in the newer bank- ing houses of the city. There is an wir of severity and frugality about the place. The calculations of the clerks are made on the hacks of old envelopes, and they sti!! use lamps and candles instead of gas and eleo- tric light. Most of the employees are inem- bers of the family: The boys of the l’uris and London branches come to Frankfort to begin their business career and jJearn lessons in industry, acovracy and fid. lity, and they goverally serve a term in each branch of the firm in order that they may know the peculiar conditions and sur- roundings,
The business is conducted with ercat secrecy. Nobody knows anyth about it, and therefore there is 6 great drni of conjecture and gossip, Some years ago one of the employees of the house who was not related to the family was a defxulter fora large sum of money. He was not punished and not even prosecuted because it was said the members of the @rm fenred they would be called upon te give evidence concerning their business relations if they took him into court, and it would cost them a great deal more money to have their transactions exposed than the defal-. cation amounted to.—Chicago Revord. = —
