Let me hear the thunder grumble an' the

Then a rosy-posj rainbow overarehln' all

“Let me hear the children laughin', see 'em

Let me hear 'em squeal and huddle gittin'

And jest splash the w orld with dew drops

'Let us have the yellow sunshine in big

k**0 OMETIMES the vigilantes were
^ all right," remarked the man
from Arizona, who squirted six drops
1 of tabasco into each drink that he
poured out, "and sometimes they were
all wrong. In my opinion they were
oftener dead wrong than half right.
. But this may be prejudiced testimony.
! l never liked the vigilantes’ methods.
! It is undeniable that they were what you
; might call a necessary evil in some
'par:- oi the west. Eft they always
overdid the thing. Thev grew arrogant,
domineering. They generally wound up
by wanting to be the waole w orks.
Then, in most cases, something would
turn up to finish the vigilantes. 1 hap
pened to be on hand when the some
thing happened that pulled the curtain
down on the vigilante business in Ari
zona. There has never been a vigilante
in Arizona from that day to this.
“it happened in Flagstaff, in 1884.
They weie never called vigilantes in
Arizona. They were referred to as
Stranglers. The Stranglers got a pret
j tv tight hold on Flagstaff. They weren’t
jopular. but they had a majority. They
called themselves a sheriff's posse, and
for awhile they nx.e over Flagstaff
proper. Thev turned several tricks,
with the aid of the rope, that were
nowhere near on the square, and they
j killed several men who were pretty
generally thought to be innocent by
Flagstaff folks who didn’t take any
stock in the Stranglers’ haphazard way
of doing things. So that when this
thing happened I'm going to tell you
ilium. there was a pretty stiong under
•un nt oi i< cling it: Flagstaff against
the Stranglers.
i ne tuginning oi me auaugieis
wind-up was when one of the most
prominent of their number began to pick
m the Buri.r bey. . Charley and Frank.
JU1 man Burns ran the Burns house in
Flagstaff, and these boys were his sons.
Charley was about and Frank was
18. They were both square men. as
men went down in the southwest in
those days They didn’t pretend to be
sanctified, but they kept as well with
in the law as any of us. There wa. no
■eason on earth why they should have
been singled out to be picked on by
he Stranglers, but they were. One day
the prominent Strangler that I men
tioned walked into the Burns house.
Cnariey and Fran!, were playing seven
tip for dollars at a table not tar front
the desk. A few bystanders were pok
ing around. This Strangler man be
ran mooting it into Charley Burns in
a pretty strong way of hinting about a
•tage robbery that it ad been pulled off
not far front Flagstaff a couple of weeks
Hi. re. Charley wasn't a coward, by a
whole row of 'dob-s. but he knew that
f he went at the Strangler he’d not
only get it himself, but that his broth
!, er and his old lather would probably
have to dangle. Anyway, he wasn't
fixed. He had laid aside his b it for
j more comfort in sitting down. So he
| didn't say much in reply to the Stran
gler's dir.--. Frank, his younger broth
er, fumed, but he didn’t cut in until the
Strangler walked to the bar at the end
A the office to get a drink. T:;en he
said in an angry undertone to his
! mother:
! “ 'Charley, if you’:
to take your own e:.
per, 1 am.’
" 'I'm not fixed.' said Charley.
“Frank passed hi- brother a gun un
der the table.
1“ ‘Now call him.' he said.
“Gaarley sort o’ b -irate I. He was a
•ooler man than his brother, arid he
| wanted to keep out of trouble if he
could. So he jammed the gun into his
waistband and sat in a sort of a guess,
the Strangler walk'd from the bar
I award the door.
j “‘You may hear something.' he said,
I stopping al the door and looking at
j, Charley Burns significantly.
, “‘.Just wait a minute,* said Charley,
retting up from the table and walking
Uver to the Strangler. ‘Let's hear it
! ' low.’
i “They got together right then. It hap
lened pretty suddenly, but the only man
struck by a shot was the inevitable in
nocent bystander. He was killed as dead
is a mackerel. Then the Stranglers
seemed to come out of the ground and
hree minutes later both of the Burns
boys were landed in separate cells in
the calaboose. That night the Stran
gers broke into the jail and shut Char-^
ley Burns to death in his cell. They
shot Frank up a heap. too. but he was
still breathing when they pulled him
out of his cell and strung him up.
“Now, here was a dirty bit of work.
It got on the nerves ol all of us. more
or less, who diun't belong to the Stran
glers. There was a-plenty of ugly talk
around Flagstaff from that night—plain
talk, spoken right out ioud. Among the
people who didn't hesitate to express
themselves audibly were Ed Fa> and
Doc Radde, both of whom dealt taro
in Dave Black's big place. They were
both quiet men. and game. But. tnai
Burns job got them on the raw. and
neither of them hesitated a minute in
saying so. The result was that one
afternoon they got a joint invitation
conveyed in writing, in.m the Stran
glers. to leave Fiagstafi on the ii: '-1
train out that night.
" ‘Are you going. Doc?’ Fay a- vO
Badde when they'd read the note.
“ 'No,' said Radde.
“‘Neither am 1,' said Fay.
“They took the Stranglers’invitation
to Dave Black, their employer. There
never were any better nor gamer men in
the south >\ est than Dave Blacl He was
a man of absolute integrity. He bad
a heart as big as a bullock’s under his
vest. But he was agin the Stranglers
from way back. The Stranglers' note to
Fay and Radde mat e him hostile in
stantly. He pasted the note against
one of the walls of his place. Then he
outs with both of hi- guns, and he tie
scribes a pretty enact circle on that
piece of paper with bullet# Then he
took a pencil and w rote across the whole
face of the punctured note:
‘‘Dave Black was on the warpath. He
walked oui into the air for awhile am,
studied the situation, and then he re
turned to his place, where his two
warned dealers. Fay and Raride, were
waiting for him. The> had a talk. At
.he conclusion of the tali- Black handed
each man a $500 bill.
“ ‘In case the play doesn't go through,'
he explained, ‘and you boys have to
drill you'll need the money.’
“Then Dave went around and had a
few quiet talks with some Flagstaff men
who he knew would be with him in the
little undertaking he had in mind. One
was his brother. C-iarley Black. An
other was Mysterious Dave, surname
unknown, an ex-Wells-Fargo messen
ger, who had never been known to back
water. Then there was Virgil Earp—
1 needn't say anything about Virgil. I
always figured him to be the best ot
til the Earp boys. Doc Hollocay was
another, and a good man in a tight
pinch, and John Burns, no 1 in to the
Burnses who had been murdered by the
Stranglers, took on. The famous Shot
gun Collins joined the bunch. There
were 11 of them. There wasn’t a des
perado or a lawbrea, <r in the lot. But
they were tired of Stranglers.
“The two warm-.an men. Fay and
Radde. dropped at 11 o'clock that night
into Wail Jim's C.jintse restaurant.
They sat on rough stools before rough
I tables, side b;- side, and facing site
i,lront. They didn't appear to be both
ered about cl.« t ear approach of tinir
warned- -ut hour, 11:fit), i i.-ey heard tbe
train come in. and they heard the train
go out. Then they la an to wait tor
something to ha; .> ... It was pitchy

minutes after I he pulled out, the
i two dealers -aw by t < tight issuing
from the C, . . - wit . v • a number of
men appro., r:e restaurant they
knew the game wa.- on. They waited
for the first of the dc ti or so Stran
