HOW THE CHURCH
WAS BUILT
?
[Original.}
Ttie people of Fireaway City were
emerging from barbarism. Some of
them were already getttag ashamed of
the city's name, though this wus by no
means outspoken. At auy _rato, tb<
frequent shootings which gave rise to
the appellation had somewhat fallen
| off. Some of the older, more settled of
the imputation advocated a ch&rch.
They called a meeting of ?he citizens,
and Deacon Snell? called deacon be
cause he was the only man In the place
who had never had a "scrap" with any
one? made a speech announcing that
the meeting had been en lied for the
purpose of taking measures to build a
church, "A church," be said, ' would
be useful In a number of ways. In Uie
first place. It would benefit our Im
mortal souls. In the second, it would
tend to the respectability of the place
by reducing tbe number of shooting
affairs." ...
Tbe citizens were unanimous that
they wanted a church. There was no
doubt about that. A subscription wat
about to be oi>cued when a man calltd
Slippery Sam, from the fact that he
fcad managed to kill every movement
for reform that had thus far taken
place, called tbe attention of the meet
lug to the fact that the raising of funds
for the church might be used to stop
the shooting that was still flourishing,
lie proposed that the first man who
tilled another be obliged to build
The proposition took the assembly
like a sudden change of wind. There
tv as no opposition, but the Idea was so
novel that It required thought. Pete
Hawkins, who had many notches In his
gun. asked if the man who might lose
lu the game would be allowed to put
U1, the money to build the church or
must build it himself. The proposero
the scheme said that he Intended that
the loser should do the work h'mself.
Tliis would make the penalty all the
more effective. The building of a log
church big enough to hold, sa>, fifty
people was no easy task. Slippery
Sam's proposition, with the amend
ment, was adopted, and the meeting
adjourned with a vote of thanks to the
autho# of the scheme, who had for once
appeared on the side of reform.
Fireaway City suddenly became a
highiv Christian town. At least so
appeared. The day after the meeting
Dick Evans called Hank Williams ti
cheat over a game of cards, ltauk go
h's gun out before Dick, whose holder
had gJt twisted, and was about to
shoot when he remembered the chu.Ui
building. "Forgive me. brother, he
said. "I was wrong." Then, as the
game proceeded, he remarked casual
ly; "I wish some galoot d g.t plugged.
Then a feller could do his shootln with- :
out beln' interrupted."
During the next few weeks there
were five cases of apology that, with
out the penalty, would have been shoot
ing and auy number of smal make
ups the issue of which would have
been uncertain. Then it began to be
remarked that Slippery Sam had killed
the church after all. for it was evident
that uo one was going to shoot any one.
thus bringlug on himself the penalty of
building it.
Slipperv Sam began to grow unpopu
lar it was not that he opposed reform,
but that he had proposed a scheme
which was fouud to be irksome. At
the Alhambra saloon one morning the
matter of forcing the author of the an
no vlng plan to end the embargo by
shooting some one himself was dis
cussed. The difficulty in the way was
that any one inducing him to shoot
must get shot. The party was ready
to do most anything to put an end to
the situation, but no one was willing
to be the victim.
It was finally decided to draw lots as
to who should insult Slippery Sam and
get killed for the benefit of the whole.
Tete Hawkins drew the red poker chip
that had been put into a hat with a
dozen or more white ones. He asked
if it was optional with him to be killed
or to kill Sam atd suffer the penalty
of building the church. A conference
followed, at the end of which he *as
Informed that when the lots were
drawn it was understood that the loser
was to be shot. It would not be fair to
those whose lives had been risked in
the drawing to now permit the loser to
gave his life by building the church.
Hawkins turned a trifle pale at th
decision and bade farewell to them all,
taking each by the hand. Then he
went out to find Slippery bam. In ten
minutes a succession of pistol shots
were heard, and the citizens congre
gated about the bodies of Slippery Sam
and Pete Hawkins, who had killed
each other, thus leaving the communi
ty in the same fix as before, for neither
had been left to build the church
A meeting was called to settle the
Question whether the conditions still
held good. The resolution read that the
first person to kill a man must put up
the building. The first man to kill was
dead.' Should it now be understood
that the next man to kill should build
the church. When the question was
Dut there was a shout of "No! froir.
those who had affairs to settle. The
peace party voted "Yes." Deacon Snel!
arose and said:
"This yere penalty has got rid o tne
two men In Fireaway City that always
done the most damage, Slippery Sam.
who was agin reform, and Pete Haw
kins. who did the most killin . Now.
I've a double proposition to make? that
we hang the next man that shoots and
all take hold and build the church."
I The proposition was received enthu
siastically by the peace men, and, aa
for the shooters, they were overawed.
They left Fireaway City for more con
genial grounds, and those who remain
ed built the church.
