But (213) ; ^ -. , warn (214) AND OTHER HUNTING ADVENTURES. 215 there were a few respectable general stores, half a dozen so-called hotels, shops, etc. The town was full to overflowing with gamblers, rustlers, hunters, cowboys, Mexican rancheros, northern sight- seers, adventurers, commercial travelers, etc. All day and all night could be heard the call of the croupier at the gambling-table as he announced the numbers and combinations that the wheel or cards produced in the course of the manipu...lations to which his deft fingers subjected them. Hot words often came from fortunate and unfortu- nate gamesters, and the short, sharp report of the six- shooter, the shouts of combatants, the groans of wounded or dying men, the clatter of heavy boots or spurs on the feet of stampeded spectators were sounds that, nearly every night, greeted the ears of the populace. Mob law reigned supreme, and there was little effort on the part of the village authorities to punish offenders. Sometimes Judge Lynch' s court was convened on short notice, and someone who had committed an unusually flagrant violation of the "law of honor" and had killed a man without due provocation, was hurriedly tried and strung up to the nearest tree.
