Marble. Thus From one to fv e years; Terms T ru itt & Johns. “ 'Tis funny how whisky scrapes a man’s throat when he is not used to it.” The man who used this expres sion is a characcer. On the south western frontier his name is as fa miliar as a household word. He was the terror of the border for many years, and has escaped lynching several times. The lines which here introduce him give his pet phrase when recovering from a spree. His throat was doubtless too familiar with bad mm to be diBtrubed with any thing less than a currycomb. Hi was standing leaning against the counter of a bar-room in Silver City, N. M., as he made the above quoted remark. It was a typical frontier gin mill, and it was filled with strange characters. Here were two Indians sitting on a bench, a couple of drunk en freighters leaning against the wall, two regular soldiers half drunk, two or three hunting dogs, several Winchester rifies, a pile of Indian trinkets aDd a half-wagon load of specimens o f silver ore. A board covered with a little red calico and a half dozen bottles stood for the bar. Curly Bill was a hard man, and as he stood taking his whisky in this rude bar room he was a perfectjspeci- men of a rustler. His rude make-up of rough pants stack in his boots, blue shirt, flaming red necktie and sombrero added to a bad countenance much that was picturesque. He had a knife in his boot, two six-shooters about his waist and was ready for a frolic of any kind even at the risk of his life. He was a desperado of the dangerous sort and had killed many a man. The boys gave him credit for having stocked a private grave yard, and he was consequently a hero. The drink was hardly down when Curly Bill whipped out his revolver, and, for amusement, shot a hole threugh the top of one of the freight ers’ hat. They then got to bantering each other about their skill as marks men, and, walking out into the yard, they went to shooting silver half dollars out of each others’ fingers at twenty paces. Curley Bill soon tired of this monotonous excitement and asked one of the soldiers to hold up a silver piece. The soldier agreed, and twice he sent his bullet against tbe coin, but the third time, for pure devilment, he shot the fellow’B front finger off. When the soldier growled about the miss Curly Bill’s response was: “ O, damn it, I thought you had been a soldier long enough.” This ended this quiet sport for the day. The men walked back into the saloon, and I walked up to the further end of town. A few moments after wards a cry of fire was raised and the gin mill where Curly Bill and his companions were, soon burned to the ground. While the building was burning the clatter o f horse’s feet was heard, and Bill and his com panions came riding up the street at a rattling pace, and the landlord with them. They stopped at another fa vorite bar-room, and the landlord who had been burned out said: “ That cussed Curly Bill got to shooting at the lamp and hit her a little too low and it exploded. He will pay the damage though.” Drinks were ordered for all the motley crowd in the bar room and then .they went to playing Spanish monte, the favorite game in the rude W es! A few days after this Curley Bill barely escaped hanging for horse stealing, and left for parts un known. To-day there is a price upon his head in almost every territory. He has been reported as dead half a dozen times, bnt he turns up in unexpected places to vex every com munity he strikes. Where he came from and who he was before ho bo came a desperado no one knows. Bat he seemed to have had a fair early training, and to have drifted into this wild life from a taste for adventure “ Oh bnsn!’ ’ shouted a long, lank fellow, as he jumped upon a table filled with rough men. The cause of his joy was the words o f the dealer of the keno bank, calling the nnmber that made him winner of the pot. “ I am a hard man from Bitter creek, I eats b’ar meat, weigh 4,000 pounds, smell like a wolf, and the whiz of bullets is music in my ear,” yelled the fellow, as he threw his sombrero off from his villainous looking countenance. One of tbe men who bnd been less fortunate at the game hit him a blow nnder the ear just as be finished speaking, and he fell like an ox. He picked himself np, looked qnietly around the place, and then said: •Well, .this is the most sociable com munity I ever »track. Come on, boys, let's liquor.” It cost him five dollars to treat, bnt the experience he got w b s worth it These two characters represent tbe two different classes of men yon find on the border. The man who shouted when he won the pot at the keno bank was a braggart. He would boost of his great exploits, o f the horses he hod stolen ami o f the men he had killed, and would swagger around with an air that would scare anyone but a brave man. Bnt when he met a fighter he always wilted. He and Corley Bill are fair repre cental ives of the two classes of hard character» you find on the border. They all wear the broad brimmed bats, dress alike and have similar ambitions. Their open, reckless life gives them good health, desperate dissipation, and tbeir animal apirits often run away with their senae. Among these characters whom you discover nnder the broad sombrero the Spanish first introduced into tbe southwestern territory you find many peculiar characters—men who have Easy **•" *T*T '. r t r t , of I n M , u f h a •<** 1 O raaito M o.H M .ta .
