A crowd then commenced to gather around, and Pearson was soon placed under arrest by Al. Card. At the time of the arrest he appeared to be about the coolest man in the crowd. He did not seem to be any more excited than an average dude over a game of “Pigs in Clover.” He ought to feel heartily ashamed of such marksmanship, and besides that, if he again desires to engage in another such enter- prise, he should first procure a gun. Those little things will do well enough for children to practice with in Omaha, but they don’t amount to much when a man means business.
