Told Out of Court
"fiontUmon or the Jury," said a Cleveland
attorney for the defense, "we will now in
tioduce our star witness. After hearing her
testimony you will never have the heart to
convict my unfortunate client of burning hh
barn. Speak up, madam."
"Kor forty-three years," said the witness,
"I've lived with the defendant, an' com
moncln' with the day after we wuz married
I ve built the fires reg'lar every mornlu'.
Start a fire' Why, that man couldn't start
a fire In :i powder magazine!"
Whereupon tho jury ncqultted him without
leaving their seats.
Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch of
the Hutte Creek Cattle company, was on
trial at Alliance, Neb., rerorts the Denver
Times, on a charge of shooting nt a brake
man on tho Hurllngton railroad with Intent
to kill him. Ilo had received his pay a tow
days bofrro. and was engaged at the time of
tho shooting In tho picturesque pastime of
painting the county red,
Vanco vehcunetitly denied any Intent to
perforate the brakeman. Ho told the court
that wlille it was true that ho did take out hU
tevolver and shoot after tho brakeman had
pushed him olT tho train he was merely giv
ing a prearranged signal. Hn and a friend
had been down the road a few miles nn.l
wnnted to ride back fo tliw nearest station to
tho ranch. Realizing that If they were founl
by any of tho train crew they would be put
olf they had arranged that If one was put
olT tho train ho shuuld notify his partner by
firing his revolver otire
The trainman, with visions of what he
firmly believed was a nartow escape fron
death, shook ids head and the Judge looked
unhe I ing. Vance's cowlsiy friend cor
roborated the story, hut, seeing that his tale
failed to receive credence, the defendant
asked the court to ple.tse step outside. The
Judge asked what for.
"I'll prove my Innocence, your bono.","
Vanco said.
Tho court was curious and went o.iLsid'.
So did tho sheriff, lawyers and spo.nat' w.
Vance pulled out his revoher and, holding
a postngo stamp between the lingers of his
left hand, clipped off each corner In suc
cessl' u. Next ho nsked a spectator to sus
pend a hickory nut ftom a thread. Walking
olT thirty feet ho wheeled and at the 11. nt
shot cut tho thrt-.ul. Taking six tacks he
placed them Ioi sely in a piece of wood. This
ho placed ngalnut a post twenty-five yardi
away. Horrowlng a watch from a bystander,
he opened the case for a inlrr r, shot with
his back to the mark and drove each tack
Into the wood without a miss.
Tho brakeman had been looking in In
epen-imoutlicd wonder. As Vance conclnd d
tho brakeman stepped up to the Judge, auJ,
tapping him on the arm, emltl:
"Ye's yer honor, I guess I was mistaken.
That man wasn't shooting at me."
There are certain bounds which nelth t
lawyero nor litigants can safely overstep in
any of tho well-regulated and seU-respoH-Ing

peculiar pleasure that we find the venerab e

other side as a "lobster."
It Is Just pnib!e that neither the law

quette as to uj the epithet, tho gentle
mnii to whom It was addressed, nor tho
court who overheard It wou'd bo able to ex

wherein It was fflnflve or insulting, but
by common consent there will In all likeli
hood bo no appeal from Judge Tulcy'n de
cision. Tho term dne not sound well when
applied to anybody anywhere; It must have
founded particularly disagreeable In a court
of Justice. There Is no reus' n why tho
portion who used it should not bo rebuked
and punished, even If none or us can tell th
reason why.
It was not ror Judge Tuley to go into lino
distinctions. The courts aid iullucuccd
altogether by precedents. They are care
ful that now cues ehnll not be established,
except as a last resort, there being too
many on tho look at present, If the law
