FLORIN, PENNA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1901.

He Ran Away
With an Auto
First Machine in Carson
County Tempted Piute Bill

HILE the talk had stuck te
horses the ex-sheriff of Carsor
county had enjoyed the society of the
party of visitors whose liquid hospital
ity he had been invited to share. Wher
it took an up-to-date turn and switchee
to automobiles he began to be bored
The conversation wandered
the intricacies of explosion chambers
notors, gears, and the like, and al
though the ex-sheriff’s glass was fille¢
and emptied with the rest, a ticed, far
away expression crept over his face
and he spat at more frequent inter
vals into the sawdust box beneath the
bar.
“The cnly machine of that kind that
gver come through here,” he reflective:
ly said at length, “stirred things uf
considerable.”
Whereupon the entire eompany, hav
ing expressed its interest by the usual
invitation, the sheriff removed the
superfluous moisture from his sweep:
ing mustache with the back of his
hand and told how the first automobile
came into Carson county.
“'Twas a couple o’ years ago last
spring. A couple of fellers came
through goin’ to Chicago, at least thet
was their intention when they struck
this camp. The boys was naturally in-
terested in the machine they had, rath:
er big, clumsly lookin’ rig at that, but
it sure could throw dust. Some of the
boys wanted t’ race it first off with th’
fastest horses in camp, but after the
machine did the snake @ance all the
way around th’ speediest broncho in
th’ bunch, the gang natcher’lly wanted
t' be put on how it was done. Yell, the
chaps, bein! good natured, shewed ‘em
where t' pull a handle t' set her goin’,
how t' let her out or check her in, 'n
what an easy mouth she had.
“It panned out that t’was a dern fool
trick t’ put th’ gang on, cause next
mornin’ when th’ two fellers got up
bright ’n early fer a long day's run;
no machine! Mika, that keeps th’ ho-
tel, and a few of th’ early birds was
standin’ lookin’ at th’ broken lock on
th’ door of th’ little shack where it had
been put over night. A ceuple of wide

among.
| Tange, Deocause you'll see there was ne |
tellin’ when lead might be comin’ ever
th’ bank in chunks. The game was
sure treed, an’ the boys went at him
kinder careful, havin’ him cinched as
they tho't. We gets into th’ bushes an’
covers th’ road an’ th’ ford with eur
guns. Horny Bill and Dave Smith
sneaks down stream a little ways from
th’ bank 'n lays quiet. Then every-
body waits awhile, cussin’ a bit an’
sweatin’ like th’ devil.
“Of a suddint up pops a Winchester
over th’ bank. He lets fly six times uf
th’ road, hit er miss, an’ by good luck
‘it was miss. Then he dodges down.
“ ‘Piute Bill!’ we all yells as we sees
his ugly jaw just over th’ bank. So it
was, the skunk. In a minute th’ ma:
chine begins t’ chug 'n gurgle Lower
there. "T'was queer if he was startin
up, fer th’ creek was full high an’ rush:
in’ at a gait over. Dut Bill an’ Dave
from behind a tree down th’ shore lets
out a whoop an’ begins shootin’. Then
we jumps out t’ see th’ fun. The foo!
was sittin’ in th’ seat with a lariat
round his waist, one end tied t’ th
wagon body, an’ steerin’ her straight
into deep water.
“Of course, th’ dern thing didn’t float
but she was so heavy she run right
down inter th’ water an’ disappeared
under, runnin’ along th’ botton. Bill
he stays on top an’ it pulls him along
like a fish on a lige. Funny? Lord,
how we did how]! We was laughin’ so
bard an’ most of us was so unsartin”
handed from th’ booze that not a man
could shoot straight enough t’ pop th
floater. So there was th’ machine get-
ting away safe an’ sound downstream
an’ takin’ Piute with it.
“Then Horny Bill steps out down th
bank an’ th’ gang quit shootin’ t’ see
what was goin’ t’ happen next. Piute
was quite a little ways from shore by
this time an’ pullin’ away fast. Horny
whips out his rope. He wasn’t no
slouch with it neither, an’ though
twas a long distance throw he lands
th’ noose squave over Piute’s head ’n
shoulders. Pi tries t’ fight it off, bui
‘twas no go.
“What with th’ machine an’ th’ creek
pullin’ one way an’ Horny an’ Bill
t’other t’was a tight squeeze fer ol’ Pi
an’ no mistake. Th’ air tires on th’
machine, though, kinder lifted her a
little off th’ bottom, { suppose, an’ th’
steady pull swings her head in t’ shore.
Then they pulls Pi in, black in th’ face
an’ dead gone from th’ squeezin an’
bein’ under water off 'nion for several
minutes, Then comes th’ machine
climbin' slow up th’ bank after Pi, all
by itself an’ sorter shamed like. The
paint was most all off her froni th’
sand an’ rock in the creek, an’ th’ shirt
an’ th’ hide was mcst all off of Pi count
of th’ two ropes. TH’ machine had
barely 'nough spok:s left t’ hold ’¢
up.
“Well, say! Th’ gang just lay down
an’ rolled over with joy an’ gasped fer
breath t’ see th’ pair of them. When
they got through they was so weak
they couldn’t hev strung Pi up ef
they'd wanted to. But they didn’t.

His wife hastened into the hall to
meet him.
“What is it, dear?” she cried as
he came springing up the stairs, two
steps at a time.
“Come inside, dear, and I'll tell you,
although I feel like taking the whole
world into my confidence.”
“Oh, what is it, Paul? Have you
sold the water-colors?”
“Better than that, my dear. I have
sold the oil that I did last summer!
And what do you suppose I received

“Oh, I don’t know.

“I should say. He pronounced the
