I mean, I believe that's our ring. I know it's llama, I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstor. This is love and after. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Well, today's the day of the big trial in which Lum Edwards, justice of the peace, is trying Lum Edwards, defendant, on the charge of attempting

to break into the Johnum Downstor. That same store has been converted into a courtroom, and the townspoker gathering now to witness this unusual trial. As we look in on the little community, we find Lum and Dabner back in the feed room, waiting for everyone to arrive so that the trial can begin.

Listen. Hey, are they all in there yet? Yeah, they're the jury's all here, just waiting on Squire's camp. For goodness' sake, I wish they'd hurry up and get here. I'm gonna get this thing over.

Well, I don't see why you had to get him mixed up in this no way long. I had to get somebody to prosecute me. I couldn't be the justice of the peace and defend myself and prosecute myself too.

No. I don't want nobody to ever say I'd take an advantage of my office of justice of peace to let myself go free. Oh, of course not, no. That's the reason I got a jury, make everything look legal.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I still wouldn't have got Squareskex mixed up any two. Well, he's the only one in town that knows anything about law matter. Don't worry, I'll clear me all right. I told Cedric to look for that paper I signed giving you my half the store and told him when he found it to tear it up.
