"Well he came from Turkey," said Simpson, and I again sanl back, won dering nnenytwhat particular variety of Mediterranean outcaxt had drifted down to Mexico to be made a Justice of I he peace. Bihipnon laughed and con tinued: "That Fowler was a funny fellow. The Turk, he committed Few er, and Foler, he ri up and knock ed him down and tromped all over him nd made him let him go!" 1 Thut was on appeitl to a higher gan to shoot at my feet," which cer lalnly did seem to offer presumptive evidence of meanness. Bimpson Con unucd: "I didn't have no gun, so I Just had to stand there and take it until some. thing distracted his attention., and went off home to get my gun ani kill him, but I wanted to do it perfectly lawrul; so I went up to the mayor (he was piayin' poker with one of the judges), and I says to hfm 'Mr. Mayor, says I, 'I am oln' to shoot Fowler. And the mayor he rls out of his chair law." I observed. Simpson assented ""1 "'Y huuriiv u,i ,..,, in. and "a me hy tt,e hand, and says cheerily, and continued Kasy I'rotwtion 'Well, that Turk got nervous for fear Fowler was goln' to kill him, and no he comes to me and offers me twen ty-five dollars a day to protect him from Fowler; and I wen, to Fowlor, and 'Fowler,' saya I, 'that Turk's ain't goln' to get shot for no twenty-five dollars a day, and If you are goln' to kill the Turk, Just say so and go and do It; but If you ain't goln' to kill the Turk, there's no reason why I shouldn't earn that twenty-five dollars a day' and Fowler, pays he, 'I aint go in' to touch the Turk; you Just go right ahead and protect him." " So Klmuson "protected" the Turk from the imaginary danger of Fowler, for about, a week, &t twenty-five dol lars a da', Th? n one evening, he hap pened to go out and met Fowler, and." Said he.

Mr. Himpson started on his quest. Meanwhile, however. Fowler had cut up another prominent citizen, and they already had him In Jail. The friends of law and order feeling some little distrust as to the permanancy of their own zeal for righteousness, thought ft was best to settle the matter before there was time for cooling, and accordingly, headed by Simpson, the mayor, the Judg, the 'Turk, and other prominent citizens of the town, they broke Into the Jail and hanged Fowler. The point in the hanging which particularly tickled my friend's fancy as he lingered over the reminiscenced was one that Was rather too ghastly to appeal to our own sense of humor. In the Turk's mind there still ranked the membry of Fowler's very unprofessional conduct while figuring before him as a criminal. Said Simpson, with a merry 'twinkle of the eye: "Do you "know, that Turk, he was a right funny fellow after all. Just as the boys were gtilng to string" up Fowler, says he, 'Boys, atop; one moment, gentlemen, Mr. Fowler, good-by,' and ho blew a kiss to him." Cowboy Nicknames In the cow-country, and elsewhere on the wild borderland between sav- .'igry and civilization, men gp quite as often by nicknames as by those to which they are lawfully entitled. Half the cowboys and hunters of my ac quaintance are known by names en tirely unconnected with those1 they In herited or received when they were christened. Occasionally some would be desperado or make-believe mifchty hunter tries to adopt what a title he deems suitable to his prowess; i but such an effort Is never attempted in realy wild places, where it would be greeted with huge derision; for ail of these names that are genuine are be stowed by outsiders, with small regard to ,lhe wishes of the person named. Ordinarily the name refers to some easily recognizable accident of origin, occupation, or aspect; as witness the innumerable Dutcheya, Frencheys, Kentucks, Texas Jacks, Bronco Bills, Rear Joes', Buckskins, Red Jims, and the like. Sometimes it is apparently meaningless; one of my cowpuncher friends is always colled "Sliver" or 'Splinter" why, I have no idea. At other times some particular, Incident may give rise to the title; a clean looking cowboy formerly in my. em ploy was always known as "Muddy Fill," .because he had once been buck ed off his horse into a mud hole. The grewsome genesis of one such name Is given in the following letter which I have Just received from an old Hunting-friend in the Rockies, who took a kindly Interest In a frontier cabin which the Boone and Crockett Club was putting up at the Chicago World Fair. Feb. 16th. 1893; Der Sir: I see in the newspapers that your club the Dnntel Boon and Davey Crockit you Intend to erect a frontier cabin at the world Far at Chicago to represent the erley Pianears of our country I would like to see you maik a success I have all my life been a fruntiersman and feel interested In your undertaking and I hoap you wile get a good assortment of rrllcks I want to mulk pne sugges tion to you that is in regard to geting a good man and a genuine Mauntenner to take charg of your haus at Chicago I want to recommend a man for you to jrel It is Liver-eating Johnson that Is the nalm he Is generally caiiea ne is an olde mauntneer and a large and fine looking and one of the Best Story Tellers in the country and' Very Po ll((ht genteel to every one he meets I will tell you how he gotthat nalm.
