A COLORADO OUTLAW.
The Ears of a Victim Tendered in
Payment for the Drinks.
John Alfred Slade, the noted
outlaw and highwayman, jjsed to
wear a beaded and gaudily-colored
buckskin suit which cost ?50.
Sl:ide- exploits are well remem
bered by all the old-time settlers
in the west. At one time he be
came involved in a diflicul L3 with
a Frenchman named Jules, an In
dian trader, who had spent the
greater part of his iife among the
Indians of the plains.
Upon the establishment of the
overland line of stages to Califor
nia Jules was much incensed, as
he claimed it was an innovation
upon the rights of the Indians and
the traders, and would bring too"
many whites upon the plains. lie
waged incessant war upon the
overland line, with the aid of In
dians and half-breeds, by running
off stock and committing other
depredations, which were contin
ued without restraint until John
Alfred Slade appeared upon the
scene as a diiion agent from
Kearney west. This man was a
refugee from justice, having killed
a man in his native county of Clin
ton, 111. Soon after taking charge
of the division Slade became the
terror of the road, and his bold
and reckless daring involved him
in numerous quarrels with stock
thieves and others. His quick aim
and steady nerve sent many a des
perado to a bloody grave; in fact,
he sought quarrels, and, to use the
parlance of the limes, "always got
liis man." A deadly feud existed
between Jules and Slade, and the
former resolved on his (Sladc's)
death. Knowing that on a certain
day Slade would come down the
road on the overland coach, Jules
laid for him at the station, and as
the former alighted from the coach,
fired upon upon him with his gun
both barrels of which took effect,
and as his enemy lay writhing
upon the 'earth, poured the con
tentents of his dragoon pistol into
his body. Then mounting a horse,
Jules rede into the mountains,
feaiing tho vegeanco of Sladc's
friends.
Strange and unaccountable as it
may seem, Slade was found to be
alive and was carried into the sta
tion, and, though lingering on the
point of death for months, he re
covered from his wounds and laid
his plans for the capture of his
encury, who was finally hunted
down and 'taken to Bovey's Sta
tion. The names of the captors
of Jules were Nelson, Vaugh,
John Fry, and another man, who
is now a resident of Montana.
Those three men, having secured
Jules, sent a messenger for Slade,
and the bloody men again met face
to face. This time, however, Slade
had the drop, being heavily armed
and with the three armed captors
of Jules at his back. Well know
ing his doom was scaled. j Jules
stood up and demanded half a
cliariccrrfor his life. "You gave
me no show," retorted Slade, "but
take this and defend yourself,"
handing the Frenchman a pistol
which he knew well would not re
volve and the next instant sent a
ball through the forehead of Jules
near the top of the skull, who
reeled and fell. Slade and his
party then returned to the next
room to take a drink, but upon re
turning found the prostrate
Frenchman gone. Horses were
mounted and the country scoured
to no effect; but upon returning to
the station the wounded Jules was
found In an outhouse covered with
hay. He was led out and shot
through the mouth, and again at
the base of the right ear, which
finished the job. Vaughn cut off
the ears of the dead man and gave
one to S lade, reserving the other.
The two worthies then enme to;
Denver with these bloody trophies
in their pocket, and wore them
out at the" different .bars on a pro-,
longed spree in slapping them on
the counter as a tender for pay-
ment of drinks. Colorado Ga-
zette.
Shams V3. Substance.
Theodore Parker, in speaking
of home and home life, says: I
never saw a garment too fine for a
man or maid; there never was a
chair too good for a cobbler or a
cooper to set in: never a house too
fine to shelter a human head.
The elements about u, the gorge
ous skv. the imperial mhi are not
too good for the human lace.
Elegance fits man. Mut do we
not value these tools of house
keeping a little more than they are
worth, and sometimes mortgage
home for the mahogany we would
bring iitlo it? I had rather eat
my dinner off the head of a barrel,
or rather dress after the fashion of i
John the Baptist in the wilderness,
or set on a block all my life, than
consume myself before I get home,
and take so much pains with the
outside that the in.-ide wast as hol
low as an empty nut. Beauty is a
great thing, but beauty of gar
ments, house and furniture is a
very tawdry ornament compared
with domestic love. All the ele
gance in the world will not make
a home, and 1 would give more fori
a spoonful of heart' love than for
a whole ship load of furniture, and
all the upholsterers of the. world
could gather together.
Miss Louisa Montague, Mr.
Forepaugh's 10,000 beauty, h:is
filed a declaration in a Philadel
phia court, stating the grounds of
a suit which she has recently insti
tuted against the veteran show
man for 10,000 damages. She
says she was accepted as the
"loveliest lady in the land," and as
such was promised a reward of
$10,000; but although she appear
ed in the street processions or
grand pageant of the defendant for
thirty weeks during the spring
and summer of 1881, she avers
that Mr. Forepaugh has entirely
failed to pay iier the promised
10,000.
The publishers of a German
novel scored a hk recently in the
line of advertising. They had in
serted in most of the papers a no
tice stating that a certain noble-man-of
means, anxious (o obtain a
wife, wanted one who resembled
the heroine in the novel named.
Of course every marriageable
woman who saw this announce
ment bought the novel to see how
much she resembled the imaginary
beauty- referred to.
The New Northwest, published
in Philadelphia, says: This sea
son, and as soon as the road of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation
company is completed Irom The
Dalies to Portland, its entire con
struction force will be transferred
to the line of the Northern Pacific
between Kalatna and Portland.
The connection with Puget Sound
at Tacomawill soon be made.
A prosperous Michigan baby
carriage factory had its origin in
the birth of fifteen babies in the
town in thirteen da-s. A carpen
ter got the job of making carriages
for the whole number, and from
that start the business grew.
A strong friend of St. Jacobs
Oil is H. T. Duncan, Esq., of the
Lexington, (Ky.) Press. He says:
A short time since St Jacobs Oil
was prescribed in my own laihily
by a regular physician, and it was
used with the most satisfactory
results, as usual.
The Retort Sarcastic.
Judge Tarbell tells the following
joke on himself. A short time after
his retirement from the bench he
happened to meet an old friend
whom he hadn't seen for some
time. The judge, all smiles and j
heartiness, effervesced over his
friend in such a way as to provoke
the inquiry:
'What oflice are you a candidate'!
IAS IIWII Jl4W"V,fc
The judge made a deprecatory
movement with un outward turned
palm, and said:
"For none at all, my dear broth
er; I'm simply a candidate for the
I kingdom of heaven."
nis friend regarded him sorrow
fully for an instant, and then, with
more wit than politeness, and more
profanity than either, said:
"I'll bet you don't carry a d
township!"'
Doubtless the judg lost ight of
the man's profanity in a.lmiratton
of his sublimelv truthful candor.
The Sutro Tunnel, now com
pleted, discharges :i0,000.000 gal
lons hot water daily from Corn
stock mines. This water has a
temperature of 10o. and is con
veyed through a closed pine Hume
to prevent the escape of vapor.
After a passage of four miles
through the first tunnel it looses
?0 of heat. A second tunnel,
1,100 feet long and an open water
way a mile and a half long, con
ducts the water to Carson river.
Along its course are hot-water
baths and laundries, and a plan is
on foot to conduct the hot water
through pipes under ground, to be
made available for purposes of
irrigation and for supplying
artificial heat to hot-houses.
The incidents of Congressman
Starin's only speech in congress
are related by his friends as fol fel fol
eows: A bill was under discus
sion for the sale of a portion of the
Brooklyn Xav' Yard for about
200,000. A syndicate of the
politicians were to be the purchas
ers. Mr. Starin rose in his seat,
pale as a ghost, and said earnestly:
"Mr. Speaker, 1 am not familiar
with all your rules here, aud J do
not know whether or not I am in
order; but you have a property
i here which vou are going to sell
for 200,000 and J will at this
moment draw my check for it fori
500,000." The bill was killed.
Oregon is the finest country
God's sun ever shone on with
California as a close second. It
may .eem strange for a Califor
nian to speak so, but what is the
use of denying facts'? Oregon
took the prize for wheat, all over
the world at the Centennial, and
the Willamette valley is well
known as the "garden spot of the
world." But we speak of Califor
nia and Oregon as states. There
is land in Oregon which can in no
wise compare with California and
vice versa. We would detract
from neither's laurels, but speak
the exact truth. Stanislaus Call
forma) Wheat (xroiocr.
A twenty-one pound salmon
was caught the other day in
Feather river, California, at the
mouth of the Yiba the first
salmon caught in the Feather for
many years. The incident is note
worthy, as indicating a great im
provement in the quality of the
watciycauscd by the stoppage of
hydraulic mining on the Feather.
In attempting to ascend the Yuba
the fish iloundered in a bed of
slickens, and a man waded out
and caught it in his hands.
