"COMANCHE JACK'S" RECORD.
In Hi Lifetime Ilo Una Stint Tlilrty-onsj
(JIi'li nmt Helped linns Suvnitccn.
In tliis western city on tho streets
nnd in tho hotel lobbies every day ono
meets with many of tho most noted
western chainctci-s of tho day. Bret
Hnrto would hero llnd ninny subjects
for wild western history thnt would
throw somo of his previous crcntious
of fiction into tho shade. Tho Indian
territory is near by, whero thero is
employed a largo number of bravo and
hardv'inon ns deputy United States
inursiinls who appear periodically in.
tho largest city most convenient to
their working; place, so that Wichita
is often called upon to entertain visi
tors of almost as much notoriety as
"Billy tho ICid" or Jesso .lames.
Chief among this number is Deputy
United States Marshal Jack Stillwcll,
now stationed at Fort Heno, I. T.
Jack, or rather "Comanche Jack," as
ho is familiarly known, is a handsomo
looking chap, with a laughing bluo
eye, curly hair slightly tinged with
gray, for this noted bordcrman is just
DO years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 1L
inches in height, and of massive build.
Ilo is also tho acknowledged craclc
pistol shot of tho west, and even in
tho days of that Kansas cyclone known
us "Wild Bill." who novcr missed a
shot, Jack Stillwcll ranked high.
Tho number of men killed Jjy Jack
is variously estimated at from twenty?
livo to tlurty-one, and it is known
that in addition ho has aided in send
ing seventeen other men over tho vat
loy of death by means of tho hang
man's noose. Even in this country,
whero "killers" aro to bo mot with
every day, "C'omancho Jack" Stillwcll
is a curiosity, and is pointed out to
strangers with a strango mixturo of
awo and prido
By this it must not ho understood
that this gallant deputy United States
marshal is a desperado who goes
about glorying in his bloody work. On
tho contrary, no is rather retiring in.
his disposition and only when ho has
been drinking boasts of his deeds.
When desperato work is to bo dono or a
had desperado is to ho taken Stillwcll
is always tho man who is detailed to
accomplish it. Tho territory despera
does and cut throats all know and fear
tho intrepid ofllccr, and aro awnro of
tho fact that if ho goes after them ho
will get them, dead or alivo. Many
are tho traps that havo been laid' to
kill him, hut ho is as cunning as hq is
bravo, and has always managed to
ovado tho snares that would havo
caused tho death of a less accomplished
plainsman.
Brought up as ho was among tho
Comaucho Indians, Jack has never
exercised tho right of franchiso, and
at tho ago of 50 lias novor cast a vote.
Ilo speaks tho Comanche and soveral
other Indian languages as well as tho
Indians do themselves, and during tho
sitting of tho United States court in
this city it is always an nmusing sight
to sep tho Indians, dressed in their
primitivo way, following tho great
"Whito Chief," ns thoy call Jack,
about tho streets. Ilo calls them his
"inonagerio" and says thoy aro a lot
of dirty, thioving wretches for tho
most partj its well as the most accom
plished liars in tho world. Wichita

I saw three curious things in tha
Euulic library tho other day. But tha
est thing 1 saw was a pencil margi
nal noto to an articlo in ll'orum. The
passago in tho toxt read: "To marry
is not an obligation, as might bo
thought from current talk. It is
purely optional. Ilo who refrains
from wedlock and fatherhood cannot,
in tho overcrowded stato of tho globe,
bo charged with a violation of duty to
his fellows." Tho marginal note, in
woman's handwriting, ran thus: 'Th
globo is not overcrowded and novor
can bo; aud tho man who docs not
lcavo a lifo in his placo as ho leaves
this globo is n common murderer."

thero is to bo a torrostial globo about
IS metres in diameter. It will bo a
representation of tho world on a soala
of one-millionth: that is to say, a mil
lion times smaller than tha actual
world. To give somo idea of ike pro
portion, tho city of Paris wilPbamly
cover a square centimetre. TJ jfloW
