Grey hair is not always a sign of
phvsical decay, as Marshal Gmehle
has discovered. One evening last
week the marshal was feeling gay
0
and athleric, so espying Capt. Ma
yo he laid down his little pot of
red paint and proceeded to try and
throw Cap over his head. Mayo
promptly got a collar and——elbow
hoid on Gmeh e and threw him.
This he did twice; the' third time
the marshal was well inflamed and
sailed into Mayo in a series of half
- curves. „ Mavo thereon drove the
marshal's head into the moss with
such vim that he was put out of
business. Later on he had a mix
up with John Duncan’s dogs and
when John remonstfated with him
Gtnehle informed him that the new
marshal- will also hail from the star
producer of bad men (an^, deputy
marshals) Duluth, and Duncan had
belUr behave himself and keep so
%
ber. This John promised to do,
whereon Gmehle weut home and
no doubt “sighed that there were
no more worlds to conquer. ’ ’
