Marshal, Chief of Police of Crip- ple Creek, Holds the Lawless in Check. rom the Chicgo Chronicle, Cripple Creek, the Mecca adven- tures and sports, the latter-day Dead- wood, the fin de siecle Leadville, is roiled by one man §=That wild West- gm mining camp, where gambling houses have the place of honor on the public thoroughfare and saloons outoumber churches 100 to 1, where 30,000 people have ded into the mountain fastnesses within two years toseek fortune by various means, is puch better governed and much nore orderly, in comparison to its Cripple Creek, as nearly every other person has, as wild, lawless mining amp, where neither life nor prop- erty was safe, and for that reason he had a great desire to visit the place. The chief has been in many mining camps, acd, having an idea that Cripple Creek would possibly be the last one of the kind, he determined totake itin on his trip. He had properly prepared himself for the wild scenes of border ruffianism which he was to witness. Neither lynchings nor murders would sur- prise him, and he rather expected that a police star would be an im- position not to be borne by the free man of Cripple Creek. But when he reched the town he failed to see any bodies swinging from the trees, nor were the resi- dents shooting each other with avy degree of persistency. No bands of cowboys rode through the principal streets, shooting into the windows of the hotels; people walked about as safely and in almost as dense crowds as they do on State street. “a ‘— surprise of the chief was Phew is this?” he asked an old resident, one who had been in town for nearly a year. “I thought this was a tough mining camp, where a man’s life was lightly held and blood flowed down the main street from early morn till evening. Why is it 80 quiet?” “Oh, Jim Marshall, he kind of holds em pow, you,” explained the oldest inhabitant, ‘an’ if they don’t do what ‘Jim’ says, why, they don’t geta chance to do none whatever otherwise. We plant ‘em out there,” tnd he jerked a gnarled thumb toward a quiet place on the hillside where a few white headstones glim- wmered on the gathering twilight. “And who is ‘Jim’ Marshall?” ask ed Chiet Badenoch in pleased sur- Prise. “Well, ‘Jim,’ he’s sorter chief <f! Police, you know, an’ he kind of runs | things hereabouts You'll meet \ stay with considerable. | if you allow to} ‘Jim’ us for a time,’ said the! the pair on a corner and said: “Here, you, come here.” The fel- low approached. “You see that mountain?” ing to an adjacent peak. “Yes, sir,” said the man humbly, | “Well I'll give you just two hours | H to get on the other side of it.) And don’t you turn around, and don’t you come back. Now you travel.” The stranger turned and walked rapidly away until he was swallowed up inthe gloom of early evening. Chief Badenock had been starring in | amazement at “Jim” all this was going on. “What's the matter?” he when the fellow was gone. “Ob, point- Marshall while asked | he’s one of them fellows somewhere and I don’t want Lim in| town,” said “Jim” shortly. “Well, how did he go so quietly? In my city that sort of a customer would put up a fight on an unarmed officer,” said Badenoch Marshall, smiled and grimly lifted the cape of his mackintosh. Beneath it was a 38 caliber Winchester rifle slung over his shoulder with = business end to thefront. At eithe |side in front was strapped a Colt re voler which looked like a mountain howitzer, and two more “guns” pro truded from his hip pockets “I carry a few slugs for these lit | tle weapons,especially my long boy,’ said Marshall. Badenoch counted up and found that the chief of po lice of Cripple Creek carried ninety rounds of ammunition,four revolvers anda Winchester rifle in taking a stroll around the business part of town. “Ou, I cee,” said Chief Badenoch } “you are ready for trouble.” “Oh, no; don’t expect any trou- ble,” said Marshall. “We don’t have much trouble. I usually get the drop on the boys before I say any- thing, and they know it. Bat you never can tell what will happen.” And then they continued their stroll Marshall is almost idolized by the heavy mine owners and other busi ness men of Cripple Creek. He en. ters the toughest dives of the place and takes out anyone he is after. Now and then the man’s friends take him out after the chief leaves, but that is an incident of police business in every city. “Bad men”all over the West know “Jim” Marshall and know they are not wanted in Cripple Creek, and therefore fights and mur ders are comparatively rare. Gam: bling flourishes, of course, but the people want it and there is no trou | ble about that. Every hotel bas a gambling house in full blast on the side, but the games are On the square and trouble is infrequent. Six men besides the chief constitute the po lice force of Cripple Creek, and that is all chief Marshall wants. He acts for the missing hundred or two, and the town of 30,000 people is as com- pletely under his sway as though he was dictator. Marshall was form- erly 2 Chicagoan, and old-timers on the poliee force here remember him. | He speaks familiarly of “Jack” Shea and other officers, and it was doubt less in Chicago that he learned how to manage 8 “live” town. | Srare oF Onto, City oF ToLepo ) ag | Lucas County.
