"San, Simpson, what do you mean

"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

tinued: "That Fowler was a funny
fellow. The Turk, he committed Few

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

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,

Forfeited by this cordial approval of
tne executive and Judicial branches of
the government. 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
