St. Salem tures, for our hres neTer ran along the level. We seemed to court ad versity. Our fortunes went like a wave through a continual succession of swells and hollows. We struck the hollows when I fin ished college. The family packed its baggage and ; moed to Coldwater, Kansas. The Middle West was wild. new country then. We moved about in Kansas, took up land, built the town of Boston, sold town lots, cleared 175,000 and lost every cent of it In the drought of 1889. Crumb-clean we went into Okla homa. The settlers Were all bank rupts." The government even issued food to them. Frank and I were both athletes. We . supported the family with the money we earned at toot racing. Swell in Fortune Blake Father Judge. Just about this time one of the periodic sweels In our fortunes swept my father Into Woodward 5 county, where he was appointed Judge by Governor Ren fro. John and Ed opened law offices In the same town. I was elected county attorney of El Reno. Frank was deputy clerk in Denver. It was the 'crest of our prosperity. Judge Jennings was the man of weight In the community. He was re-elected almost unanimously in every big case that came up in the courts. My father had built a beauti ful home and had a comfortable bank account. We were going - forward with a swift, sure current when the (Garst affair, like the unchartered rock, blocked our course. Many events in . my life the pistol shot In the Cincinnati theatre, the desertion in the prairies, the lawless ness of the ranges seemed to have been shaping' the channel for the rapids that were to nurl Frank and me Into the maelstrom' of robbery and murder. The Garst case partici pated the downfall. Sheriff, Gambler and Land Grabber. Jack Love had been appointed sheriff at the same time my father was named Judge. He was" a gamb ler and considered a disreputable character. While in office he had a little habit of, arresting the citizens and charging them an exit fee in order to get but of jail. He devel oped also great penchant for land grabbing, appropriating 50,000 acres of the government's property. Frank Garst rented this land for the pasturage ot 1700 cattle. He agreed to pay Love 83000 When the bill was presented it was greatly in excess of this sum. Garst refused to pay. Love brought suit. Temple Houston defended . the interests ot Love; my brother Ed was attorney tor Garst. Love came' to Ed and offered him 81000 in cash to dump Garst. Ed refused and won the case for his client. He won it on the ground that Love had no right to the land in the first place and was himself a trespasser. Love was out his 33000. lie was a bad loser. Ed's tat was really aet when he "won that case. Love .waited his chance. , lawyer's Shout Like Face Slap. It Came a few week later 1 went to Woodward to visit my fath er.. Ed was defending a erouo of boys on a burglary charge. Sam Houston. Love's attorney, was nrone- cuting. Ed asked me. to assist him. The case was going against Hous ton. The atmosphere -was charred with bitterness. ' In the midst of my plea. Houston got to his feet, slam med his fist on the tahlA nt hnt. red; "Your honor, the ten tie man ia grossljrignorantef the law." . "You're a damn liar," I answered, without any particular heat,, but as one asserting an evident fact. . It was like a blow in the face to Houston. - He lost all control of him self. "Take that back, you damn Uttle - he hurled the unpardonable epithet and sprang at me. His face was bursting with rage. His hand was on his 45 and I had mine leveled at him. Lightning an ger was striking In all directions. Men rushed to the one side and the other. Somebody dashed the six shooter from mv hand. At iha m. moment I saw Houston surrounde uu aisaruiea. . .' The court proceedings ended for the day. But feeling ran high the -unc lurj m me southern cow people: Nothing but blood cools it. We knew that the settlement must be met. -j For once in my life I was not eager to square the account with killings. We went to Ed's office, my father and ray two biothers. My father's hurried face was like a reproach to our hot tempers. He Was a broken man. He seemed to see the tragic failure ot his life of robust endeavor. "What are you going to do?"' h asked almost in an appeal. "Nothing until tomorrow." I told him, for i had made ray plans. 1 intended to meet Houston, apologize for my insults, and demand the same rrom him and let it go at that. If Houston refused it would be time en ough to meet the issue. My decision was not to be. Tlie town was divided into two factions. Ours outnumbered Houston's two to one. They made up in their rankling animosity what they lacked in num bers. It was as if two tigers stoo-1 ready to spring and each but waited to get the other in the corner. Ed and John agreed to stay in town to watch the office, I went home with my father. V Never had the magnetism of his kind, turbulent nature seemed so tor cible as in the weakness of his fear for us. He was in a reminiscent mood. For the first time he spoke of that day when he had first struck me down at Shrieber's store. The tears crowded into bis eyes. I knew that many a torturing moment had paid for that irresponsible blow. At 10 o'clock. we went to bed. It was a hot. summer night. We left our doors open. I was just drop ping into a slumber when I heard the stnmble of frantic footsteps on the steps below. The door was pushed to an3a broken voice called out: "Judge, get up, get up. judge, quick: they have killed both your boys!"
