Présentation de l'éditeur

Bonville, IT. S. A., was about to prove its hatred of law-breakers by taking the law into its own hands. It was also prepared to mark its recognition of the sacred laws of hospitality by giving a stranger and a foreigner a handsome swinging. In spite of the late hour and the darkness, the citizens of Bonville had forsaken whiskey-saloons and quiet card-parties, feeling that whiskey and euchre were always with them, but a horse-thief, once hanged, could not be relied upon for further entertainment. He had been opportunely met by theS heriff, caught redhanded, so to speak, riding one of the two stolen horses and leading the other. The Sheriff had tried to get his prisoner quietly away to the nearest jail, Bonville having none. But they were Bonville horses that had been stolen, and when the citizens of Bonville heard of theS heriff sintention, a sufficient number of them crossed his path, some six miles out, and, by unanswerable argument, persuaded that stout and conscientious little man that Bonville could and would attend to her own affairs. The Sheriff now watched the progress of these affairs, rueful and carefully guarded, spit ting now and then in contemptuous disgust as he saw how things went. They went badly for the prisoner.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
