A cowboy obviously new in town walks into the local saloon. Finding it empty he says to the bartender,
"Say, where is everybody in this God forsaken town?"
Bartender: "Why.... theys all out watching the hangin'."
Cowboy: "Who they hangin' today?"
Bartender: "They's about to hang Brown Paper Ned."
Cowboy: "Brown Paper Ned? That's fer shore a queer name! Why they call 'im Brown Paper Ned?"
Bartender: "On account o' him wearin' a brown paper hat, a brown paper shirt, brown paper pants and brown paper boots."
Cowboy: "well don't that beat all.... Why they hangin' 'im?"
Bartender: "Rustlin'."
