One of the first judges—real judges —of Deadwood put in operation many odd ideas of corrective punishment. If a man was brought before him charged with shooting up a peaceful place without provocation this judge used to delight in tolling off half a dozen good shots, whose business it was to fire all around the accused, who was made to stand up against a wall. The closer the shots and the more scared the accused the better the judge liked it. If the accused demurred against this little tit-for-tat punishment he was formally ordered to stand up and the maximum sen tence under the code was meted out to him. In the case of a prisoner who might not be impressed with the tar get practice sentence there were oth er penalties, such as a five mile gallop cu a frisky horse, with the legs of the accused tied under the horse's bellj' and a saddle made of fair sized stones wrapped m a blanket for his seat. Pro test against this meant again the ex treme code punishment. Not Even at Tat Man Chasing Hat.
