The very next day after the
Cave Creek Desperadoes chased
Bill Sykes home from the Rob-
bers’ Cave, where he had been
spying on us, Bob Walker and
Sid Mason came out to the field
where I was at work and told
mo they had two applications for
membership and they wanted
to be initiated at our next regu-
lar meeting. The names of the
applicants were Raz Bates and
John Peter Hawkins, and both
highly recommended by Bob
and Sid.
In order to properly initiate
the two candidates, l issued a
call for all members of the C. C.
Ds. to meet on the following Sat
urday afternoon at Robbers’
Cave for rehearsal, and com-
manded Bob and Sid to notify
the other members.
In response to this call every
member reported at the Robbers*
Cave at the appointed time and
after a few preliminaries leaded
the Desperadoes to order and
delivered the following address:
“Fellers, this hain’t a regular
meetin’ as you all know, but a
meetin’ to prepare to initiate Raz
Bates and John Peter Hawkins,
the orphin J?oy raised by Uncle
Tom Hawkins. Now, fellers,
wlmt we want to do is to nitiate
Raz and John Peter in a way so
they will never forgit it to their
dyin’ day. Fellers, I’ve been
studyin’-on this nitiation day and
night ever since Bob and Sid
told me about Raz and John goen
to pint Bob to act as persecutor
and when we brhig in a candit
I want him to git-up when it
comes his time and ’buse the
candit ever’ way he can. If you
don’t know anything mean that
he has ever done, then tell a lot
uv lies on em and his fambly.
Make ’em blievc we ain’t goen
to let him jine on account nv his
bad character. Ace, I want you
to defen the candit and make it
appear that Bob had lied on ’em
and beg all of us to vote fur ’em
and not turn ’em away from the
Cave with his character all tore
up so bad that nobody will have
nnything to do with ’em. Si, I
want you to Toiler Ace when he
gits through defenden the can-
dit and make a motion to throw
’em outen the Cave on his head
and I’ll ask you all to vote on it,
but it’ll make no difference |*ow
you all vote I’ll swear you all
voted agin em and will have Jeff
Jones and Sam Hickey to take
hold uv ’em jist like they wuz
goen to throw ’em outen the
Cave, but jist before they throw
’em out, Ace must git up and beg
us not to throw the poor fellers
out without given ’em a chance
to spate ail the lies tlmt had
been told on ’em by Hob. Jist
at this time I’ll stop Jeff and
Snm and order ’em to bring the
candit back whar we all can look
at ’em and hear ’em spute the
blame lies Hob told on ’em.
We’ll then take another vote and
I’ll swear he’s lected no matter
how the vote stands. After lie’s
been lected I’ll make etn repeat
after me ever thing l can think
uv, sides given em the pass word
and grip and signs and owl hoots.
Now, what we want to do is to
take some feller through here
this even in jist like he was a
shore null candit and practice on
eiri so we’ll all have our lians in
fur tomorror when we nitiate
Raz and John Peter. Now, 1
want one uv you fellers to act as
a candit tins evenin' so we can
git through before night and go
home.
Squint Hobbs offered himself
as a candidate for rehearsal and
1 appointed Si Dodson and Sid
Mason to conduct him from the
cave out into tiie brush whore
.they would await my instructions
However, just before leaving
with Squint, I instructed Sid
what to say when lie returned
with the candidate and gave in
structions us to blindfolding him
and binding his arms behind
him.
After Squint had been securely
bound and blindfolded, Si gave
the three owl booth and I an
s we red by cawing like a crow,
which was the signal that every-
thing ut the cave was in readi
ness aud to approach with the
candidate.
When they had approached
within a few feet of the cave I
called out in a deep mellow voi^e:
“Who is it that approaches this
cave and wants to come in here
in the inside and be admitted in
here,’’ and Sid replied accord-
ing to instructions: “A felller
desperader with a nother feller
what wants to be a desperader.”
I continued the dialogue with
the following querry: “How do
we know he ain’t a dern scound-
rel! and trien to find this ere
cave so he can tell all our pa’s on
us.” Sid replied: “We’ve got
said that Squint didn’t believe a j place the next day. Bob had the
whale swallowed JonaA or that manhood to apologize to Squint
Mrs. Lott ever turned to a pillar
of salt. Now, as fur as I am
concerned, I believed he lied on
Squint fruin start to finish. He
even cused Squint’s pa of bein
a Republican when we all re-
member how his pa came to the
for everything he’d said about
him, except having lice on his
fiead, aud Squint accepted his
apology without reservation.
As the hour was growing late
and since most of the Desper-
adoes had to be at home by milk
school house one day and slap- j ing time, I declared the meeting
jied Purfessor Dixon’s jaws cause : adjourned until the next day at
he said old Abe Lincoln wus a 2 p. tn.
greater man than Robert E. Lee.
Why didn't your pa come to the
school house and whipPerfessor
Dixon if he is such a strong
Demycrat? My pa would a come
and wlpjpped him hissef, but he
wus down with the rheumatiz at
the time. Bob needn’t cuse any
body of bein a infidel,' Republi-
can or bavin lice on his head, fur
he is guilty of all those things
hissef. Jist last week he told
Two-pound can Gooseberries
10c at Tom Robertson’s.
’em blindfolded and his hands
tied hard and fast behind ’em
and if he is a Her to us we’ll
throw ’em in the creek and
drown ’em.’’ I then concluded
t{ie dialogue by calling out in a
commanding tone of voice:
“Bring him in, but be blame
keerful what you air doin.”
Sid and Si then led Squint to
where I was standing and pre-
sented him for initiation: “My
frien,” I began, “before we let
you jine this order we would
like to hear from the members
and know what they think about
you. We want to know some
thin’ about your character,
somethin’ about your pa’s fam-
bly. In the first place no body
can jine but a feller what believes
in the Dertiyeratic party and a
supreme bein’. If any uv your
kinfolks air radicals or ever tit
with the Yankees, then you can’t
jine. Answer me and don't you
lie about it; do you believe in the
Demycrat party and God and
has any of your kihfolks on your
urn’s side ever disgraced them-
selves by bein’ Republicans or
infidels?” Sid ahswered: “None
frv my folks air Republicans or
infidels and anybody who says
they air. air liers and the truth
aih’t in'em.” “If there aint no
objection,” I began, “the candit
can proceed with the nitiation.
This was Bob's cue to begin the
prosecution, which he proceeded
to do in the following manner:
“Fellers, when I jined this order
I jined with the understands
that nothin but Deniycrats and
Christians could jine. No longer
than yistiddy this candit-told me
outen bis own mouth that he
didn’t believe a whale ever swal-
lowed Jointr or that Mrs. Lott
ever turned to a pillar uv salt.
He alsp told me outen his own
mouth that his pa was a Repub-
lican and jist as-soon as he wus
old enough to vote he wus goin
to vote a Republican ticket his-
self. Now, fellers, it's bad nuff
fur a feller to deny the Bible,
but it is ten times wusser fur a
feller to be a blame old Repub-
lican and vote fur Yankees.
TliesC remarks made Squint so
mad that he forgot all about the
part lie was taking and burst the
thongs that bound his arms and
made a lung for Bob and was
only restrained from striking
him by the timely interference
of Sid and Si.
I was proud tlmt Sid hud Ur
cepted the position of rehearsal
candidate and enjoyed Bob’s
prosecution, and told the boya
to bold 111 in down und let Mob
finish Ids remarks. Encouraged
by my remarks, Bob stood over
Sid and accused him of sucking
raw eggs, drowning kittens,
fighting girls, eating clay and"
having lice on his head. After
In* hud arcusod him of every-
thing lie could think of, lie sat
down and then Ace came to
Squint’s rescue.
“Fellers, began Ace, uv all the
lies I ever beam told on a feller,
them wus the biggest lies what
Bob has jist told on Squint. If
1 wus to toll such lies I'd be
afeard liglitnen would strike me
dead in my tracks. He cusud

if I had jined him in what he wus
sayin agin the Bible, I spose
he’d finally denied about the sun
