A Judge Lynch Court.

A CANON in the mountains, near the pros perous mining to vvn of Douglas Greek, ia Wyoming Territory. Grand and pictur esque the peaks rise up ou cither side, tower ing far up towards the clouds, which iune iv groups of golden bounty overhear]. Jhe crystal water of the creek, from which the town took it* uiime, duiiced merrily over its rocky bed, its splaahiuga blending i v rippling melody with the southing of the breeze through tue lofty piues. iseattereJ here and there over a grassy plat wers a number of determined looking men, dressed in the garb of mouutkiueers, conversing in low, earnest tones, as though their attention wo* engrossed by some matter of mote than ordinary import. A little npart from the rest, closely euarded by two brawny mount jiiuJltj, *m>uj v i'nutu apparently not over eighteen yeura of age, with features of romorkable beamy, and form of the innsi perfect mould. Wear him, coiled upon the "iasj lay a rope, in one end of which v noose'had been artistically formed. There could be no mistaking the scene—Judge Lynch was about to hold a Court. The youth had arrived in the camp bill three days before on the stage from hi ramie City and had registered at the hotel as Hairy Forrest. He told the inquisitive landlord (all Western landlords ore inquisi tive) that he was the son of a wealthy mer chant in the "States" and was on a tour of pleasure and observation in the mountains. He circulated freely among the rough element which is a marked feature of every mining camp, and on account of the unusual beauty of his face was dubb.-d "Handsome Harry " by the denizens of the town. Douglas Creek, like every other mining town, was infested with a large number of the "sporting fraternity," otherwise known as professional gamblers. Among these was a fine looking well-dressed man named George Watson. He had turned up in tin camp about three months previous to the date of which I write, with plenty of money, which he spent with a lavish hand. His open-handed generosity had made him a favourite with all, and his skill in manipu lating the cards crnld be attested by every one who had faced him at the gambling table. It was soon observed that "Handsome Harry" was watching Watson's every movement, and several friends called the gambler's uttentiou to the fact. To each one he replied tbat there was a familiar look on the youth's face—an expression that he had seen before, though when or where he had seen it his memory failed to divulge. "I don't know what the boy is watching me for," he would say, yet a feeling of uneasiness which he could not hide would manifest itself, and it was noticed thatsiuce Harry's advent in the mines he began to drink heavily. Un the morning of the day on which this story opens Wauon became intoxicuted, and while sitting in the El Dorado saloon began to joke good-naturedly with the in mates. A young miner had just finished the leading of v letter which he had taken from the post-office, and while returning it to a dainty white envelope, Watson said— " A letter from your gweathe*rt back in the States, eh, Tommy ? I'll bet any mt»n in the house ten to oue that I've called the turn."

"That's just what you've done, Wat," replied the miner. " It's from my girl in Michigan, and a prettier or better girl don't live. If I ever strike pay-rock in this claim of mine, I'll scoot back there quick, and gire some preacher a chance to make a tew dollars."'

" Clear gone on her, I see, Tommy. Well, I've been there myself. 1 had a sweetness once, and I feel a gospel sharp for a two minutes' speech, but the felicity of the game didu't stick six months. Oh, but she was a daisy, though, a high-toned beauty, but] never cared a curse for her. You see her old man had bushels of shekels stored away, and the man's a precious fool that won't tackle matrimony when it's buried iv a mine of ready coined gold. The old bloke didn't seem to cotton at ull to his dear son in-law, so when I got a grab at the pot I jumped the game and carried the swatr with inc. The old rooster's dead and roasting in Hades, I reckon, and I suppose the high strung daughter done as most disappointed females do—supped a dose of cold poison, or joined the big army of females of easy virtue that evmy city "

The sharp crack of a revolver echoed through the room, and Wataon fell quiver ing in death, shot through the head, while Handsome Harry's voice rang out— " Die, you thrice accuised villain, die ! aud remember Kdna."

"The gal's brother, fur any amount o' dust," cried a gambler, as the crowd lushed up towards the youth. Be was at once disarmed and secured, a meeting called on the spot, aud by unanimous approval a Lynch Court auuounced for two o'clock at the usual place, about live hundred yards down the canon.

At the appointed hour the crowd, with their prisoner iv charge, repaired to the spot. Watson had been speedily buried, and Harry had persistently refused to offer any explanation of the cause of the mu:der further than to say, "He deserved it all, the villain. Hang me as soon as you choose."

'• I make a move that Tobe Allen be elected Jedge o' this ere Com t," cried one of the assembly, aud the motion was unani mously carried. Allen, a tall, sun-browned mountiineer. wit'i a face almost covered with huge bine* whiskers, stepped forward and seated hiiurelf upon a rock, He was dressed in tbc hivbilimrut« of a hunter, nearly every gnrm.-n.t being partly or in whole formed if buokskiu, aud a brace of formidable-looking revolvers <.f the Colt pattern ornan.euttd liii bi-lt. He called for order, and said—

" 1 app'mt Doc Woods, Lengthy Jv^nson, and Arkautaw as odicers o' t^e Qov\vt. It'll be their duty to pcl^ervo ftrder, and if the kid's foun' gui\ty \> viocuto the sentence o' tho Cou^.

1 he ollicers designated took their past at the side ot the priiouer, and the nio«» jury silently gathered rouu(\ the seat of justice. " No.bby Dyer."

The person addressed, a flashily attired younpr, man, wearing a grand display ot breaat.pin and watch chain, stepped to the front Said tho Judge—

" Nobby, do you sw'ar that yell givo us a squar' story on thii killou' buisueia, an' ladle out nuthin' but solid facts. »c help your God?"

" Yes, Jedge. •> " Turn 'er loose, then." " Well, gents, I'm the day fin slingcr »t tho El Dorado; guess you all k,ti|O.w t^at, though, fur I've hed business, de^Uaga with all o'you.

A number o| witnesses were called, and all corroborated the barkeeper's story.

"I have none, sir." "Well ye'ye heard tho evidence, an'ye mus see that, it hits ye purty straight. 'Uie punishment for pterniiscwis shonin' in tUete mountains lays in the end o' that 'air rope.
