Hang 'em high

A guy rides into an old style Western town to see a crowd of people
around the town gallows. The guy, wanting to know what's going on,
collars a local and says "Hey, what's going on here?". The local chap
(who could have been called Sam, I dunno) says "they're goin' to hang
Brown Paper Pete." So our man says "y'what?" (for he comes from
Yorkshire, and just lives in the wild west for tax reasons)
And the other chap (who could just as well have been called Joe) says
"They're a-hangin' Brown Paper Pete."
"Well how did he get a name like that?" our chap asks,
"Well, " says the chap whose name we don't know, "On his head he wears
a brown paper bag, on his feet he wears brown paper bags, on his arms
he wears brown papers bags, in fact, he wears brown papers bags just
all over his body."
"Strange", says our man, "what're they hanging him for?"

"Rustling."
