Carions Tales Abont Monntain Terrors, Sheet-Iron Jack, the Merry Brigand {—~Big Sandy, the Cow Oreck Des. perado, and His Oareer, New York Commercial Advertiser, Stories of famous California stage rob- beries' have of late appeared more abundantly than usual but of the really picturesque plotures in frontier desper- ado lifo one has hardly a glimpse in theso days. ‘‘Black Bart,” who stopped stages dozens of times in northern Cali- fornia~ operating with the utmost au: dacity, and leaving specimens of his own rhymes on the emptied mailbags and treasure-boxes, or even sending amusing letters to the local jowrnals—was a most original genius, well-educated, intelli- gont, possessing but one fault—the stage- ato oping propensity. But criminals ully as interesting in their exploits as “Illnck Bart,” or even as Joaquin Mur- iatta and Tiburcio Vaaquez, the Spanish- Mexican outlaws, have only a local notoriety. Tales of their adventures yet told in_pioneers’ cabins, have never yet reached permanence in printed form ex- copt in the merest fragment. The first of these questionable heroes was ‘‘Sheet-Iron Jack,” an audacious brigand, whoso real name is involved in obscurity, Fifteen yearsago he was a terror to several counties of Northern California. He was well educated, hand- some, tall; the son of a minister, so all accounts agreed, and his name had been gained by the immunity from bullet- wounds that he appeared to possess. Men did not hesitate to declare that they had seen good shots fired point-blank at his breast and miss him squarely. He became known as the most expert horse- thief in the region, and innumerable ex- ploits of his are related in Shasta and Tehama counties, On one occasion he threw his pursuers off his track, as- sumed a disguise, met the sheriffs party, delighted them with his songs and stor- ies, put up with them at a little villago inn, and during the night escaped with the'thrao best horses in the party, after having turned the others loose in the woods and leaving a saucy and funny let- ter of thanks ending with an apt Latin quotation for the sheriff, whose wrath was of such an abiding sort that brief would have been Jack’s life-lease had he been overhauled; in less than two min- utes he then were asuredly hauled over and dangling from an oak-limb. Sheet-iron Jack, with amere hagatelle of twenty or so warrants hanging over his head, once ventured into Ited Bluff, quite a large town on the Sacramento river, whose broad, rapld and bluff-walled cur- rent sweops in a somicircle past. He had a world cf disguises, but on this occasion he was recognized in the main street and pursued by an armed and excited crowd of citizens, Heran intoa stable, cat a horse loose and rudo for the river, with bullets *sizzing” through the air about him, jumped in, swam his horso over and oscaped. He fired a few shots himself, but under the circumstances he is not to be blamed for dovoting his best energies to locomotion, One of the most characteristic feats of .| in the mountains overtook him this fellow was performed at a mountain ball, in a log cabin. Young people had assembled from many miles distant, some of them coming a day's journey. The ball kad hardly begun when a tall, black- haired, well dressed, handsome stranger appeared and excited much comment, = A particularly handsome young girl was taken out on the floor by her partner, and suddenly the stranger stepped up, aud with great politencss requested tho gentleman to resign the lady in his favor, Ho whispered his namo in the young man’s ear, paid a compliment to the young lady, took her forth and led the dance. The word went around that Sheet Iron Jack had come there to dance with all the protty girls; that he had several revolvers, never missed a shot and proba- bly had friends hid within call. The long and the short of it was that the thirty young men present were terrorized, and, one ater another, the handsome brigand danced with the prettiest maidens in the room, Then he buwed to the excited as- sembly, stood in the doorway a second, and mockingly said it was a pity the men were not as brave as the ladies were handsome—and disappeared in the dark- ness. Stories of bis liberality are still told in the mountains. Many a poor fellow, hungry and footsore, trudging along the roadside, heard the rattle of hoofs as a man on horséback approached, was halt- ed, questioned sharply, flung a five or ten or twenty-dollar piece with the in- {'unclion to *‘drink no whisky and don’t bolieve all the hard stories you hear about Sheet Iron Jack.” The following incident was told to the writer by one of the principal actors therein, a number of yearsago. It was a bright August day and a young Gorman was riding along the mountain paths of the Northern Coast range, Suddenly his horse, a fine and valuable animal, bogan to show lameness and in an hour was unable to more than hobble forward at more than snail's pace. The youth, ignorant regarding the ways of horseflesh was in despair, He had invested §150 in the creature and how was he to pro- ceod on his way? A mild-volced, benev- olent old man of farmer-like appearance, but in reality the shrewdest horse trader at this juncture, won his cowfidence, examined the horso and pronounced it a case of “founder.” “‘And it'll take a year for him to git well, and he won't be the same hoss ag'in nother,” ““What shall I do?” cried the sorrow- ing German, After a long talk the shrewd trader offered the German thirty dollars for the horse, saying that he shoulc. turn him out to putum a mile distant, and leave him there a year or two. Ignorant, bewil- dered, the German consented, took the money, delivered the limping horse, took his saddleand bags and started to walk to the nearest stage station, Meanw! the sharper waited until his dupe was out of sight, the took a pair of smith’s pin- cers out of his saddle-bags, and in five ninutes he had wrenched off all four of the now steel shoes from the horse's hoofs, In half an hour the horse was able to walk easily. *“Thar, 1 tho't so,” muttered. *‘The minit I seed them new shoes 1 knowed some fool had tight shod him, That hoss is wuth two hundred at least, Lord! I wish I could find sech a fool every day,” The poor German plodded slowly on his toilsome way for several miles, when & man rode out of the bushes and de- mlutlsd, “*Where in the devil was his horse?" He told the story briefly, and with rising suspicions that it had two sides. The man listened attentively, |y broke into merry fits of laughter, sitting | s sidewise on his great brown horse, with the new owner + OMAH\, NEB ;0 ynoe thrown over the saddle, pulled his monstache refloctingly—it was Sheet Iron Jack. He began to ask questions about the aged and benevolent stranger. Finally he said: “You've been swindled shamefully, and as this is my beat, 1 suppose I must help you out. You walk in those bushes till you come to a camp. There's bread and dried beef plenty. Then you lie down and go to sleep.” An hour later he overhauled the new owner of thehorse, and at pistol point re- covered the property. “‘But I orter hev back thet ! the fool Dutchman.” *‘My honest sir, that goes for my fees as counselor in this case, Now I think of it, it is scandalously small; turn out your pockets.” And he took €600 from the trembling and conquered sharper, enjoyed his despair a moment, tossed back half of it and rode off. The young German was roused a little later by Sheet-Iron Jack. ‘‘Here's your horse and outfit; I've filled your saddle- bags and given you a pistol. Don't ba afraio; I bought it with honest money once. AllT sk is that you keep the story of this adventure secret fora month, Tonight 1 must move my camp. Ride off a8 soon as you can.” And Sheet-Iron Jack retired to his tent. Somehow this talented, oducated, brilliant man escaped the tallons of the law-hawks, and was shot dead in a quarrel a fow yoars lat er. “Big Sandy,” now in state prison for murder, was a desperado of a very differ- ent type. Ho was a red and burly giant, twice the size of ordinary men. He and a brother lived in a_castle-like and forti- fied house on the headquarters of Cow Creek, northern California, and with their hangers-on they terrorized the whole region for years. The place was a resort for thieyes and murderers, 8o it was surmised with justice, Cattloand hogs were shot in the woods. Men who ex- pressed themselves strongly on the sub- ject wero likely to hear a bullet whist- ling past while they were milking or chopping wood. Sandy had been a slave driver in the palmy days of that ghastly occupation, and he had neglected none of its lessons of groed, cruelty, and hypocrisy. The story is told against him, gathered from his own admissions and boasts while drunk, that he had once gene to two or- phan nieces of his, in some western vil- lage, told them that he was wealthy and prosperous in California, and with con- summate villiany persuaded to sell their property, place the proceeds in his hands and start to California with him. He took them down the Mississppi, and at New Orleans abandoned them, : with a week's board paid inadvance, taking with him even their trunks and wardrobe. And at this point the merciful veil of si- lenco’ has fallon upon the fate of those unprotected girls, alono and penniless in a great city, But years afterward a shameless women who shared his cabin, ard took part in the councils of the gang, wore tho dresses of those betrayed nieces. At last—it cam out like a leaf from a novel—tho brothers shot and killed an old man named Shroter, who lived all alone, his only companion being a splended horse he owned. They made the horse restless, and the old man walked to the stable in his shirt-slooves and slippers, As he crossed the moon- lit strip of turf they shot him, and shot the horse also. When the murder was discovered the community was aroused, and the brothers were arrested. The chief witness for the state was a achool teacher—a man of much nerve, energy, and courage of convictions—a rough sort of a blue-eyed mountainecr, with a *picked-up” edweation, and remarkable success as a teacher, This man had dis- covered the chief links in the evidence, and with him out of the way the crim- inals would infallibly escape. They had the prestige of long authority over the simple settlers of their mountain region; for years Sandy never rode abroad without several pistols at hisbelt, or down to town without his shotgun in the wagon. This teacher dwelt in a cabin on the slopes of the Sierras that rise toward the twin peaks of Cassen—a finer sight, and one better worth the tourist’s attention than the much-lauded dome of Shasta. IHe went home to this cabin. where his wife and child were, overy Saturday night, a ride of twenty miles ona tough little mulo, and started back at daybreak Monday. He was summoned to the trial at the county seat, forty miles dis- tant, and planned to make the trip by moonlight, = A woman, mysteriously veiled, whose identity has never been satisfactorilly determined, met him, how- over, and warned him of danger ahead. Ho rode by & more roundabout trail, and reached his destination. But all that night men lay on the trail they expected him to take, with buckshotted guns in roadiness, Slow-footed justice at last overtook the *‘Terrors of Cow Creek.” Ninety- nine years was their sentence; and with the leaders gone, the fow familios that had raced the neighborhood gradual- Iy lost their influence, and Cow Croek is quite a civilized region to-day. In ten years no one will be atle to believe that as late as 1878 the burly, muscular, red faced, stolid, giant Sandy rode, lone- ly a8 & grizzly bear, along the highway or across the trails through the Chemisal 30 T paid E‘ and Manzinita, with an arsenal’s supply of guns, pistols and knives bestowed on hia awo inwpiring person. Slow, grim, deliberate, the writer can see *‘Sandy” once more as he used to look, reining his horse in front of the saloon in the moun- tain town he most frequented,and alight ing, to stride in, take a drink and call up the crowd to assist, Swaggering, confi- dent bully he was; so was Bill Sykes.

Seventh Amme AslflfllihEfl by the Little Mare, A Corpulent “Sport"” Mistakes Her for A Cyclone, the Ladies Clasp Their Hands and Sigh, New York Journal, A high board fence inclosed the back yard of Mr. Robert Bonner's handsome residence on Fifty-seventh streot, noar Fifth avenue. A red brick st-ble with granite trimmings occuvies the middle of the yard.; A covered path of tan. bark runs around the stable, inside o which the fastest trotter in the world re- caives her visitors, A gate leads through the fence from the Fifty-sixth street side, and small boys stand around and endeav- or to obtain a peep at the queen of the turf through the holes in the fence. A dozen of boys and half that number of men were on the sidewalk ycaterday afternoon when the gate opened and the nose of the beautiful mare peeped forth, The nose was followed by the sparkling eyes, the arched neck and the glistoning body of Maud S. She was to tke her first exercise in New York since she came in the hands of her new owner. A light road-wagon was hitched to the mare and the colored attendand, ‘‘General” Grant, attired inalinen duster and a straw hat, was seated in the wagon. Maud reared her head proudly as she glanced at the observers and evidently intended to say: *‘Look at me. I can beat 2:007 if I like.” The slick-looking driver used no whip, but chirruped to the mare as she pranced Iemurely along Fifty-sixth stroef, un.l Grant turned her head into Seventh avenue, Ladies stopped upon the sidewalk and gianced admiringly at chehandsome mare and the fow horsemen on the avenue looked at her with critical eyes and sized her up as a flyor oven if they were mnot aware that she was Vanderbilt's lost treature. When the trotter had reached Bighty-fourth street he was feeling live- ly and_the General had no little difficulty in helding her head steady. A robust man with a heayy black beard and a soft felt hat shading his eyes, came bowling swiftly along behind Maud S. He drove a mettlesome looking dark bay horse that moyved along with a free springy motion and covered tho ground rapidly, The robust man drove right by Goneral Grant and Maud 8. turned her pretty head around indignantly as if to ask, ““Well, what does this mean?” The big dark bay was 200 yards ahead when the General tightened the reins ov- er Maud and whistled lowly, What ap- peared to the spectators on Seventh ave- nue to be a streak of red lightning, fol- lowed by abycicle, dashed along tho road inacloud of dust. The big bay horse heard it coming and tried to get out the way. He went straight ahead with that object in view, but he couldn’t do it. The red streak whizzed by like a flash and did not stop until One Hundred and Tenthstreet, General Grant pulled her up there and waited until therobust man and the big bay horse caught up to him, When they did the man gaid 1n a start- led tone: “‘Say, mister what, is that your’e driv- ing’—a comet or a cyclone! I was never left behind like that before. Grant showed his white teeth ina grin and answered: “This is Maud S, sah.” “Great Scott!” exclaimed the robust man, “‘that explains it.” The wondeaful mare was kept out for two hours and was then driven back to her finely furnished stable, which rivaly many a fair lady’s boudoir in its archi- tecture and dainty fixings. Maud was rubbed down and polished for the twentieth time in a day, and shook her little head at old Dexter, who content- edly munched oats in his stall, as if she pitied the veteran record breaker. “She feels like a school girl,” said Grant to the reporter. e behaves well, although a little frisky, and I think she can beat the record tomorrow if she pleases.” At which Maud 1>oked up and winked wor left eye knowingly EXC ll‘l‘z)!hNT. “What causos the great rush at Schroter & Bocht’s Drug S The froo_distribution of samplo bestos of Dr, Bosanko's Gough and Lung Syrup, the most popular remedy for Coughs, Colds, Consumption and_Bronchitis now on the market.
