There being no jail in Rangely the officer is compelled to handcuff the prisoner to a certain tree. Hardly a morning passes without at least one "wino who can be seen reluctantly embracing the sturdy elm and pleading to passers by for a shot of wine to brace his unsteady nerves. Bud was surprised one morning as he went to release a prisoner who was jumping up and down, rubbing his legs on the tree and otherwise displaying torment. Please get me away from this tree before I am eaten alive, said the unhappy man to the officer. Bud looked around and to his astonishment found that an ant hill had sprouted during the night and the little insects were making vigorous assaults on the helpless prisoner. As soon as he realized the situation, Bud released the wine and he made for a quiet nook in order to shed his pants and ria himself of the pestiferous ants. The cure was most effective in this case and Bud is hoping he will spread the sad news to his pals. Bud is thinking up a scheme to deaden the effectiveness of the ants for three or four hours in order to let the prisoner have that much sleep before the attack begins. He figures that two hours of the ant cure will be enough torment to endure from his new allies.
