When his wbisky was exhausted, and he had anything to satisfy his starvation came upon for food and shelter, He was promptly arrested as a suspicious character, and taken to Orodia. There he was marched to Judge Waller’s office, and the judge declared that a more woe- begone, bedraggled, miserable and broken-down se gaen of a tramp had never appeared before im. A council of the leaders of the Vigilantes was held to determine his fate, and the decision quickly was that he should be hung by the neck until he was very dead indeed. “ This is the man,” said Judge Waller, ** who came to me and assured me that he was going to turn over a new leaf. What sort of a leaf is it that you think you have been turning over, you wretched bound?’ Cheyenne Charley, who was in the depths of g#orrow and the valley of humiliation, had not a word tosay for himself. eit? there was one who had a word to’say for im. This was no other than Clip Saunders, who, as Judge Waller’s right-hand man, was consid- ered a privileged character, and who was pres- ent ab the council, with bis left arm in a sling. Clip spoke of the broken-down outlaw as a or devil, and suggested that be should have a egal trial by the proper authorities. ‘But he has killed two women,” said Judge Waller. ‘‘That’s a fact, sir, and a little while ago I would have been glad to helpstring him up; but he is so completely used up that I would hate to see him hung just now.” Strange to say, the others gave in to the lad’s opinion, and Cheyenne Charley was held for a regular trial. A young lawyer who was anxious to distin- guish himself took up his case, and, although the outlaw was convicted of murder, the law’s delays interfered to prevent the execution of bis sentence, until finally he turned over a new leaf by escaping from prison. Matthew Warner, assisted by the settlers whom he called his neighbors, erected new buildings in the place of those that had been destroyed by the outlaws, and msde a home for Helen, who was married to Harry Venn when he had fally recovered from bis wounds. Orodia grew and flourished, and became a place of importance in the large county in which it was located. About a year after the events herein recorded the political pot began to boil in that section, and among other offices that were to be filled at the approaching election was that of sheriff. At a conference of the leading men in and about Orodia, most of whom had been members | of the Vigilanee Committee, Judge Waller took occasion to express his opinion in these words: ‘‘Orodia is entitled to nume the sheriff this year, and that right will be conceded to us, e bave only to put forward a good man, and I believe that Ll am entively justified in naming for the office my young friend, Clipton Saun- ders, who was largely instrumental in cleaning ymmes gang of scoundrels, and who is known to us all as being capable and in every way worthy.” It was suggested that Clip was very young. nw ee TTT TTT | ——---rssiii = ‘He is getting older every day,” replied the | pidge. ‘* He has shown courage and capacity eyond his years. Wewant a young and ac- tive man for the position, and if my word ae for anything he will be our next sher- iff. His word did count for something, and at the | t election Clip Saunders had a good majority, | c) and became the youngest sheriff then in t Duited States.
