A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old
rancher. The
rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad
passed. The
rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back
room of the
general store. The city-slicker attorney for the railroad immediately cornered
the rancher
and tried to get him to settle out of court.
He did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what
he was
asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer
couldn't
resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You really are
a country hick,
old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The
engineer
was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your
ranch
that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you young feller, I was a little
worried about
winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."
