A DEAD SHOT.
They called him Tex In lien of any
reliable information as to his proper
patronymic and he bobbed np in that
miscellaneous assortment of humanity
that flocked to Lead vi lie in the first
flash of the silver excitement Tez was
an Apollo of the plains, mere boy,
with long yellow earls, bine eyes and a
woman's complexion and with a frame
that towered six feet in his stockings.
Be had been a member of an immigrant
train in his tenderer years, which the
Indians had attacked and wiped out of
existence. Tex had been adopted by the
tribe and had spent some years in this
savage society, until General HcHenry,
commanding regular troops, one day
swooped down on the camp and seized
Tex and restored him to civilization.
And then Tex became a cowboy. That !
was his history down to the time that
he went to Leadville and became fa
miliar figure about the gambling houses.
Everybody, with the possible excep
tion of the parson and a few women and
children in camp, in those days wooed
the fickle goddess of fortune in roulette
or at faro, poker and even keno, and
v Tex's occupation as a professional gam
bler did not lower his social standing
y ,on degree As ft matter of fact, Tex
was a great favorite. He was a big,
kind hearted boy, with a quiet manner
and good natured smile, but, withal, a
man a man, too, capable of being
aroused at times and in that condition
one of the most dangerous men in the
west
One day Tex sat down in The Gold
Boom, a popular resort on Chestnut
street, to a little game of poker. The
stakes were high, and Tex was steadily
losing. When he discovered that his
. partner was playing with a double deck
Tex put his hand on the jack pot and
called the other a cur. That party
whipped out a six shooter, but lay dead
in his tracks with a bullet hole through
his heart before he could bring his pis
tol to a level. Tex was such an expert
with his gun I
Bret Harte relates that the gamblers
in Turtle's grocery calmly continued
their game the day that French Pete
and Kanaka Joe shot each other to death
over the bar in the front room. The
game in The Gold Room on this occasion
must have been less absorbing in inter
est, for the crowd made a rush for Tex,
who calmly turned around at the door
and quietly advised his pursuers to re
sume their peaceful occupations at the
table if they did not want to fill a com
mon grave over on the other side of
Capitol hill And very wisely the crowd
acted on Tex's advice. And so the mat
ter apparently blew over without any
serious annoyance to the young man,
who continued to walk the streets in his
leisurely way, obviously none the worse
in conscience for having assisted in the
. premature taking off of a dishonest
gambler. Bow many men Tex in his
short but eventful career had killed no
body knew, but his bearing on this oc
casion indicated that he was no novice.
Be was greeted respectfully by passers,
and he smiled as benevolently and kind
ly upon those he cared to notice as
though the process of shooting a man
through the heart was an accepted act
of ethical propriety.
And nothing more would .have come
of it if people had not begun to twit
Town Marshal O'Connor on his failure
to do his dnty. The marshal had no
hankering after Tex's society, no vault
ing ambition to arrest him. Tex had
been somewhat informal in his admin
istration of justice. Be might have
waited for his opponent to shoot first,
and then allowed the regularly elected
justice of the peace to try the case aft
erward, but Tex, in his youthful inex
perience and very vague acquaintance
with the proprieties of civilization, had
not stopped to think of that A cold
deck and a suggestive movement toward
the seat of war on the part of an adver
sary had always been his signal for
prompt action, and his triggerless six
shooter had on such occasions always
been the arbiter of justice, from which
no appeal lay. The merciless twitting
to which O'Connor was subjected had
made it necessary for him to do some
thing to maintain the dignity of the
law. .
When Tex that evening walked into
The Gold Boom, O'Connor wag there.
They saw eaoh other at a glance. O'Con
nor leisurely walked toward Tex, and
the boy fastened his keen eyes upon
him as though he would read his
thoughts.
"Tex," said the marshal, "you've
killed Skinner, and you know what I've
got to do with you. "
"Arrest me?" said Tex quietly. The
conversation was conducted in subdued
tones. 'Don't try it," continued Tex.
"I like you, and I haven't got a thing
against you. I don't want to kill you,
O'Connor. Now you go about your busi
ness and leave me alone When the
grand jury meets you'll find me right
here in The Gold Boom, and I'll go
with yon and stand trial, but I won't
be arrested."
"But, Tex," said the marshal, "I've
got to do my duty. "
"And I've got to do mine, " said Tex.
"I done it this morning when I drilled
a hole through Skinny, and I'll do it
whenever a man puts a hand on rue. I
ain't spoiling for a fight, specially with
you, O'Connor, and if you see your
duty make sure that it is to let me
alone. Now go away aud don't trouble
yourself any more about me. "
Tex turned to go away, but in turn
ing he saw the marshal draw his pistol.
There was a quick, sharp report, a puff
of smoke, and O'Connor lay writhiug
on the floor in his blood.
Again the large gambling room was
in a state of commotion. Tables were
upturned, aud lond voices could be dis
tinguished above the din, shouting:
"Kill him!" "Shoot him!" There was
a general rush in the direction where
Tex had stood, but the boy had disap
peared.
Then it was that Leadville expe
rienced a moral revulsion. When men
could no longer sit down to a beguiling
game of stud poker or watch the cards
as they were silently slipped from the
case by the nimble fingers of the faro
dealer without being disturbed by the
crack of pistols aud the accompanying
acts of violence and bloodshed it was
time to make a few examples and read
just the moral standard of the commu
nity. -
Bow much greater was the necessity
when, as on this occasion, men made
free with the executive hand of justice
in the person of the marshal, whose
only offense had been that of trying to
cage a flagrant violator of the peace and
maintain the dignity of the law. even
what little there was of it BntTex
could nowhere be found.
Sheriff Tucker began to take the case
in hand. Be and his deputies scoured
the town from one end to the other.
They visited all of Tex's resorts and
calling places, but none had seen him
after the shooting. At last Tucker heard
that he had left town on horseback. Be
was probably far over the divide by this
time, but Tucker was not the sort of
man to be easily discouraged. Be and a
deputy, whose aim was as accurate as
his own, and whose courage was some
thing to be banked on in all emergen
cies, started in pursuit They had bet
ter horses than the animal Tex was rid
ing, and they were soon on the boy's
trail.
Then began one of the hottest pursuits
that was ever known. By daylight they
were in sight of the fugitive, catching a
faroff glimpse of him as he waved his
sombrero at them just as he slipped over
the crest of a range of hills. Both par
ties had changed horses several times.
At one place Tex had traded his broken
down broncho for a buggy horse, paying
the difference that the owner asked
without haggling about the price. Then
he had traded the buggy horse for a Ute
pony that would try to run up a hill as
fast as he ran down, and whose spirit
nothing could conquer but death. : One
they were perceptibly gaining on him
and tried a few shots that fell short
Just as they thought they were going
to close in cn him and were putting
their horses to their best Tex waved his
sombrero over his head, standing erect
in the saddle, and gave such an unearth
ly yell that the poor pony was frighten
ed into a convulsive effort that carried
him beyond the range of vision of Tuck
er and his man. Yet on they pressed,
around the shonlder of a hill, and there
they saw their man at their mercy.
Bis broncho had broken his neck stum
bling over a bowlder. Tex had been
thrown down, but was too expert a rider
not to find his feet Bis revolver had
been hurled down a bank and was be
yond reach. Bis pursuers were upon
him, and the business end of two re
volvers were ominously directed against
his breast ,
Tex made a bounding leap down the
bank. "Crack, crack!" spoke two revolv
ers, but the bullets missed. The next
instant Tex had got possession of his re
volver, but the leap had broken his
wrist, and the sheriff and his man had
the drop on him.
"Tex," shouted Tucker, "throw up
your hands ! We've got you. "
"Shoot, d n yon, shoot !"
Be tried to level his own gun, but
his wrist was limp, and before he could
change it to his left hand there was an
almost simultaneous report of two pis
tols, and a pair of bullets bad passed
into his heart Tex fell heavily on his
side, and as the sheriff and his deputy
saw that they had done their work well
they watched him.
"Take the pot!" gasped Tex, and
died. Washington Post

On the Historic Rant Fa Troll Interest'
lug Facts Recalled ltelatlng to the Build'
Ing of the Sjwtem The Trail Before the
Railroad.
The enle of the Atchison railroad in
Topeka is the most notable incident of
the kind in this or any other country.
The extent of the system and the amount
of money involved in the transaction
were never equaled in any like transac
tion, pnblio or private. The immensity
of the deal may be better comprehended
by the fact that the system proper em
braces 4,58!) miles of roadbed, on which
there are now being used 834 locomo
tives, 27,059 freight oars, 600 passenger
cars, besides Pullmans, express, mafl,
dining and other cars in great number.
The traftlo frequently requires the oper
ating department to handle for weeks
at a time no less than TO freight trains
over a given division every 4 hours.
There are more than 80,000 pay checks
issued by the Topeka office every mouth.
The Atchison system has been built
practically during the lust SO years, and
originally it was intended to be a rail
road paralleling the historic Santa Fe
trail, over which should be transported
with greater ease aud speed and at re
duced rates the "commerce of the
plains," which bad in the early seven
ties assumed enormous proportions. j
The famous Santa Fe trail was legal- j
ly established by a treaty which was I
concluded Aug. 10, 1835, on the banks
of the Neosho river, in a flue piece of
timber. The incident caused Kit Carson
to mark on the bead of a cheese box
with a piece of charred wood "Council
Grove" and nail it on a tree where that
historic town now stands. That treaty
was made with the Great aud Little
Osages by a government commission ap
pointed by authority of congress to "ne
gotiate treaties with the Indians for a
wagon road through the great American
desert," and it was stipulated that the
Indians should hold sacred the rights of
the whites to travel that road unmolest
ed. This stipulation was so generally
observed by all the plains Indians that,
even during many of the Indian raids,
the whites were generally safe from dep
redations as long as they remained on
the trail. ,
Late in the eighteenth and early in
the present century the Spaniards, in
their greed and jealousy, sent forth the
edict that their territory in the south
west should be carefully guarded from
any intrusion from the Americans to
the north and east. Already the Ameri
cans had come to regard the Spanish
possessions in Mexico with an increased
longing and covetonsness on account of
the reported fabulous wealth of gold
and silver. Up to 1821, when Mexico
gained her independence, it was at the
hazard of life itself that any American
attempted to penetrate that sealed up
country. At that time the frontier of
American civilization was on the Mis
souri river, and the western border of
that state was occupied by a bold and
adventurous people, and when this
treaty was made, guaranteeing protec
tion alike to citizens of this and the re
public of Mexico, this newly established
Santa Fe trail immediately Bprang into
great importance. It started from Fort
Leavenworth and from Independence
Landing, formed a junction at No.
110," just below Lawrence, struck the
Arkansas near where Great Bend is now
situated, followed the river 100 miles,
crossed and passed through the sandy
country for about 60 miles to the Cimar
ron, which stream it followed to near
the southwest corner of Kansas, thence
in a general southwesterly direction to
Santa Fe, 780 miles from Independence
Landing.
For four years prior to the treaty at
Council Grove many attempts bad been
made, with indifferent success, to reach
the fabled rich country of the Mexicans.
The Great American desert was infested
with bold bandits of almost every race
and color. Caravans of pock mules at
tempting to cross the plains were forced
to proceed very slowly, always on the
alert, moving like an invading army,
ever ready to repel the sudden attacks
of an unseen and almost nnknown ene
my. In the spring of 1824 the first wag
on train reached Santa Fe with sup
plies, and before winter it returned to
the river laden with fine furs and sil
ver. That train contained over 200 wag
ons, each drawn by six to ten yoke of
oxen. Over 100 days were required to
reach Santa Fe, the distance now being
covered in 28 hours. This commerce of
the plains grew to such proportions that
in 1858 there were on the trail no less
than 2,500 men in some way engaged
in this traffic In that year there were
registered at Council Grove 1,827 wag
ons, 429 horses, 5,316 mules, 15,714
oxen and 07 carriages, or passenger ve
hicles. During that year there were
9,608 tons of freight carried over the
route, equal to about 600 carloads.
There was over $3,500,000 directly in
vested in this business, with another
$1,000,000 as an incidental investment

at the proper time providing for the
payment of the interest on a fund of
about $35,000,000 to uvedy Confederate

was sequestered in the treasury a long

All that is known about it is that it be

the rightful claimants could be found
they would favor the payment to thein

The rightful owners are still un

Confederate soldiers who are in distress,
aud when they co longer need this aid,
to turn the principal over to the govern

Boomerang;,
Taylor Carroll Is engaged in devising
a formidable system for the defense of
lone pedestrians from thieves and foot
pads. His plan Is to convert the erect
human body into a miniature revolving
turret, armed at four points, and capa
ble of dealing death In front, rear, or
flank simultaneously, or of sending four
successive discharges In the same di
rection.
I would have a small storage bat
tery worn In a belt," he said yesterday,
with small copper wires running from
It up through the sleeves, and connect
ed with each band on the great or mid
dle finger with a copper ring the thumb
can reach In the palm of the hand.
When the thumb touched the ring an
electrical current would discharge four
batteries, loaded with ball, behind and
In front This discharge could take
place when the hands were being held

Mr. Carroll Is an actor by profession.
