During the twenty- four or five years that 1 have devoted to robber-hunting I have mnever once as- sumed a dieguise, and have never known an_ attempt at d sguise on the part of a well known officer that did not prove a failure. There are times when a coat- collar will be turned up, a hat pulled down and a handkerchief held at the nose to conceal one’s features for a few moments, but this idea is slmply absurd that one’s appearance. manners, move- meats and volce can o be altered as to escape detectlon for a considerable time. A thief taker’s ldentity may of course be concealed from those who do not know him well, but the fact that heis a dis- guised man will scon become apparent {o every one, and will hinder his cfforts to obtain information by making every one suspiclous of him, especially those per- scns of the criminal class amongst whom he pects to find his game. My busi- nes a special officer of this com- pavy is thoroughly legitimate, and appeals dlreotly to the sympathetic asststance of every respectable clti- zen, and, thersfore, by an attempt to conceal my identity I would lose many more chances than 1 could poesibly gain Our service consists of three special offi- cers and a varying number of guarde, or, as we call them, shotgun messeng ra. These lattcr travel over the lines that of- for the greatest temptations to highway- men, and are every one of them stayers. We may temporarily employ an extra nessenger, who turns ont to be made of poor stuff, but all the regular guards are men of tnorough COURAGE AND PROMPT ACTION, and robbers are always cereful to steer clear of any stage on which they suppose one ot thoze men may be riding. in all my exper.ence there has never been an ocession when a regalsr shotgun messen— ger showed the white feather, no matter what the odds agalust him cr the promise of dapger might be. They are the kind of men you can depend on if you get in & fix with the certalnty that they will pull you through, or stay by you to the last. In the great majority of stage robberies we can pretty soon get a clew to the party or parties who bave done the job, and frequently can name them at on bat there are cases waere they escape d tection for a lorg while—this being al- most invariably where their apparent re- spectabllity prevents suepiclon from rest- ing on them. A msrked Instance of this the man Boles, or was ‘Black Bart,’ a3 he is more generally known. That chap highwayman for e'ght years, which time he robbea slogle handed, no less than twen!y nine stages. He was, without excepirn, the most singular stage robber I have ever known, for he had none of the vices common to such men, keptfree from accomplices, lived very quletly until the proceecs of his lust steal were gone, and then made another haul to meet his expenses for the next few months, In fact he eystemized stage robbery better than any of his predecessors and carrled out his plans so carefully, and at the same time so boldly, as to make detection almost impossible. Although g0 long & time passed befors we could place him, sulll his style was such that we knew every one of his rob- beries wes committed by the same [man, Instead of standing at the side of the rosd, as stage robbers almcst always do, be'd step out directly in front of the horses and call & balt; at the same time stooping to conceal his hetght snd hold. ing his arms well up before bis face. Then, again, he always wore a long linen duster, to hide his clothes, and never used tho profane langusge that all rob- bers indulged in to intimidate the driver and the passangers. Jf you want A RED-HOT STAGE-KOBBRR STORY, however, I'll tell you the most remarka- ble one that ever came under my notlce, that T ever beard «f, indeed. 1t 0aly o¢- 8| and wonld have gone back, but he was carred a fow yoars ago, but the patticn lars have nover appeared In print that I know cf, and 1cen promise you snall have them correctly fiom my note bock in which such things are recorded. Ml ton Anthony Sharp was a school tc acher in Missouri, ! believe, and came to Ne- vada when lie wasabout twen'y yoara old. During the next fourteen years, that is until 1880, he lived in Nevada and Cal ifornia, werking in the m'nes and at other jobe, and obtained a good 1cputation in every place whero ho stopped. His hab its were excellent, the only fault found with him being that he was a trifle over cantious In sperding money on any one but himself, but this was consldered more + matter for juking than an absolute mis- erly habit, and Sharp was generally rec- ognized a8 a model of intelligentand hon- est industry, The reason why he did not get up finthe world was his mania for epeculating in cheap mining stocks; in which he invested and Jost every cent of inge. Doring the last eight months he worked on the farm of Peter rt, near Auburn, and on ac count of his superior education and manners was the only farm hand who lived with the family. Toward the close of that year W, C_Jones got & head he passed for an Indian, and no one peid any attention to him. As an evi- derca of the man's endurance. I can tel you & remarkable thing shout that es cape. (1 his leg was riveted an Oregon shackl At weighed fifteen pounde, and that you'd suppcse o man couldn’t walk a quarter of . mile with, He, however, walked toven miles with that weight upon his ankle and then BROKE THE SHACKLE by laying it on one stone and poanding it with ancther—the cnly time, by the way, that such a shackls has been bro ken except with prop:r tools. As soon a5 his eacape waa discovered a kue and ory was rajsed throughout that region, large 1awards offered and the country was scourcd in every direstion. After a roundabout jouraey of 100 miles Sharp reached Candelaria, where he knew he could get half from Dobe Willoughby, who had boen in the jail with him at Au- rora, and who ls now tcrving a life sen- tence for murder, 1t cost our company 81,100 t5 vacapture Sharp, but we got him and he e now doing a twenty years' penance in the Nevadastats prieon. In additlon the watches and money of pas sengers, Jones and Sharp, during their job on the syme farm and s>cn became became intimate with Sharp; who, by the say, was & man of great physical endur ance and plack. Unknown to his em loyer this W, C. Jonees, aliss Frank Dow, alias Kcith, had just completed a torm in the etate priton for a burglary committed in Bults county, and he un- doubtedly poisoned the mind cf Sherp, who had sunk his last cent, &3 ueusl, in stocks, In the early epring ¢f 80 they leit the farm and were seen around th ra no more, as they lsy clcss for some time IN A DESERTED MINING CABIN A fow miles fecm Aubarn. This cabin, by the way, belonged to Chief of I’ lice Crowley of this city, and we have often joked liim upon the use to which 1t was put. The pair etarted their new business on the 16th of May, when they robbed the stage from Forest Hill to Auburn and then left the country. Un June 8th they robbed the stage fecm Carson to Bodie, and again robbe1 the same stage on June ltth, After this they took a rest, buton August 6th they robred the stage from Auburn to Forest Hill, sand on September 4:h the stage fiom Carsom to Bodie. This last affair occurred be- tween 0 d 10 o'clock in the eve- nivg, and the dcver explained mattirs when he met the ttage com- ing fiom Bodie. Oa the Bodie ccach there happened to be one of our shotgun mess ngers named Mike Tovey, and also an exwra guard who had been temporarily employed on some job, Thera were also five or six passengers on the stage. When the place of the robbery was reached, Tovey got down from his seat by the driver and by the light cf a lantern fonnd the fresh ‘racks of the highwamen in the dusty road. As there was no travel over the road at that time of night, the tracks were undisturbed and they led on in the directlon in which the stage was going. Every now and then Tovey would make another examination to see if the partles had left the road, and finally had the stage stop at the fork where the Hall and Simpkine road turned off, about ten miles from the point where the other stage had been robbed, Never dream- ing that an attempt would be made on his coach, Tovey left his gun on the driy- er’s seat and went on with a lantern. Just as he reached the head of the near leader two shots were fired, miesing him, but killing the near leader. Tovey drop- ped his lantern, jumped back behind the stage lights and grabbed his gun. In rhe meantime the robber Jones called out: ““You were trying to sneak up on us were you?’ and then with A FRIGHTFUL OATH, exclalmed: ‘‘If there ls a shot fired, we'll kill every one on the stage.” Trovy called back to him as though he was frightened, ““What are you kicking about? There's nobody talking about thooting but yourself. 1f you want any- thing come out and get 1t.” At the same time he told the extra messenger in a whisper, to get off on,the other slde ef the stage and altend to the robber over thers, while he wold look after the one on his slde. Jones approached slowly, and when he got to the collar of the wheel-horse Tovey shot him dead. The extra guard—I won't name hlm for the sake of his brother, who had been in our empley, and who had proved himself to ba & man of true grit—the extra chap, 1 eay, scrambled behind the stage and let off both barrels as soon as Tovey fired, missing the man clean, Tovey hurried the coach, and was in the act of firlng when Sharp pulled the trigger and puta bullet through Trovey’s arm, causing him to drop his gan, wh!ch exploded when it struck the ground, Sharp then sprang back into ihe burhes and everybody sup- posed he had clemed out. When Tovey examlned bis wound by the stage lights the blood was running so fast that 1t seem- ed as though an artery must bave been cut, and that it must be attanded to at once. The extra map, who couldn’t shoot stralght, and a passenger, sfarted over with Tovey to a farm house, where he could get his wound drersed. In the meantime, Sharp had been lying Jow in the busher, listening to all that was siid, and the three men badn't got a hundrea yards off when he stepped out oace more and ordered the driver to throw off the Welle-Fargo box, This order was natur- ally complied with, and the cool rascal broke open the box and tock $750 from it, while his ccmpanion lay dead thers ir the road. Aftcr pocketing the money he started off, without appearing to notlce the body of Jones, and that was the lass that wes seen of him for some da; 1t was altogether the most daring, cold- blooded perfrrmence I have ever heard of, Tovey heard Snarp BREAKING THE BOX OPEN, already fa'nt from loss of blocd, so he begged the extra messenger to return and tackle the robber. The tellow “*funked, ' however, and couldn’t be induced to go & step, although Tovey swore at him and taunted him with cowardice. 1 may swy hera that Tovey go: all right agan, and is still in the service, although he has bad two shots put into him since then. On the dead robber a bank-book was found that showed lie had §1,000 deposited in the Savings Union of this city. Through this clew we learned that & man who lived in the sawe houss with him, on Minna street, also had a depoait in that bank, and we lay low fcr the gentleman to turn up, which he did in a few days, when we pabbed him, snd he turoed our to be 1hs exemplary Mr. Sharp. That extraordln ary chap had walked some two hundsad m'les over the Sierrss to Newcastle, at which place he tock the train for San Francisco, In the belief that he had es caped ell chsuce of detection He was taken from hcre to Avrors, Nevada, and convicted on the 2d of November, sen- t) i ostponed until after alec Sharp had the frecdom of the ccr v dor, and on electlon day he dug a hole through the wall of the jsil and escaped in broad daylight. The town was full of peo~ta, tn1 by pulling » Yaankot over his short season as stage robbers, got from the Walle-Fargo boxes something more than 6,000, of which the greater portion has been recovered by the company.” e — Central City Secures the North Ne- braska Confe o Seminary. Special correspondence of the Brk NONTH NEBRASKA CONFERENCE, The decp intercst the North Nebraska conferenco manifested at its last annual seeslon held at Plair, Washington county Ncbragka, in the matter of a higher, Christain education, culminated in the appointment of an educational commis with sion, consisting of seven miuisters inatiuctions to locate, organize and ex- tablish a reminary within the bounds of the confcrnce, within ninety days from 1ts ad journment. Tha ecinmistion appointed coneisted of the following, Reve. J. B, Max- field, D. D., . E. of Omaha distsict; D, Marquette, P, E, Norfolk district; N H. Gale: Jo Fowler; J. B. Worley;J. 8. St, Clair and J. B. Leedon. once advertised for The comwm’ssion at b'ds for the location of the semnery. Three points competed for the school, viz, Norfolk, Fullerton and Central City. At the third meeting of the commission bids were presented and claims ably set forth by strong delegat'ons from each of the competing towns. A vots was then taken weish resulted in giving one vote to Norfolk, two for Fullerton and four for Central City. Accordingly Oentral City way declared the semlnary town of the conferenca. On motion the vote was made uranimous less one vote. in adopting Central Clty the confer- ence sccures one of the most eligible sttes in Nebraska. The campus of one hundred acras is located in the centre of the sectlon which corners on the town section. The unanimous opinlun of all who visit the pround is ‘‘nothing finer in the siate,” 4 The board cf trustees are fully organ- ized, and consists of the following mem- bers: Dr. J. B. Maxfield, D.

W, Sparks, of Platte Val- ley bank, J. Holden, cashter, and M. J. Thompeon. Dr. Maxfield was elected president, Hon, N. R. Persinger secrotary, Stephens treasurer, and N. H, Gale fin- anclal agent. A meeting of the board was held in Central City on Tuesdsy, Febraary 3d. Important business was transaeted, part of which was the adoption cf the plattin of the seminary section into blocks an lots, wi'h the campus (100 acres) in the centre of the sectlon. The section as sub.divided contains one hundred and fifty blocks of fourteen lota each. The trastees have put into the merket every alternate block, commencing with block one. Hence over 800 lots are now p m. at which time it will adoy t plans fr the college buildirg | and advertiso at oncs for contracts for | | pattly ¢ up the same, at & cost of from | | 815,000 to 820,000, Several plans are | alreacy in the hands of Hon.

Garg, B PRUE HEAR TEXAS, Life Which Rude, Glimpse of Real Cowl is Neither Wicked N Toxas Correspondence Cincinnati Commerzial azotbe, There was a minature forest of long- horns and tlie young steers were playfal, Thero were some little old Texas cows that were as l'ghtsteppirg as a deer. They were of the wild breed feom the south, hardy and prolifis, The cowman tald that the boys rarely milked, hscause the cows were 80 wild, but he should ask | hia visitor 10 ty sowe of the milk of a full blooded lung-horn, It wae, he eaid, the smeetest milk in the world. The cattlo began to move off to the elevators in the distunce, lowing as thoy went. Soon the western rim of the prairie blaz ed with a sunset that scemed like a dis- tant tire, and all was as sull as death, ex- cept the creak of the wind mill and the bleating of the young calves, “Now sling youree'ves together.” This was the ealatation of the cowboy who acted ss cook. He attended to his duty with his epura on. The table was bare, the plates and cupr were of tin, and the coffee was in a pot 5o black that night seemed a day beside it. The meat was in the stowpan and the milk was in a tin patl. The to- matoes were fresh from a can, and the biscuits were freeh from the oven. Del- monico never served a meal that was bet- ter relished. The cowboys have a way of putiing sweetbreads, liver, a bit of tenderlvin, marrow, and some calves’ brains in a dish that would do honor to the Mankattan club’s chef. Here were soveral genuine cowboys, and more came loping into camp later. They were ueed to rough life, and as this was a quiet night, when there was no storm 1o make the cattle drilt over the beundary, they ranged themstlves on a bench before a cook stove, where the mesquite rocts were cracking Into a hot blaze, and without swagger or bluster, hcrse play or boister usness, chatted qui- etly and gcod-humcr.dly about their rides over theic ranches, They had kiiled pan- thers and griazlies and antelope and wild- cats and rattlesnakes, but they did not talk about them. One of them accidont— ally referred to a recent experienco when camping near a sheep-herd. Ho was sleeping out of doore, with his boots on, and was awakenad by a wildest that had a sheep by the throat. He leaped up and started toward the cat, when it made a spring for his throat, He had nothing to fight with except his hands and feet, and couldn’t run. By way of apology for relating the story, he said that he just had to fight—that that was all there waa about it, He knocked the wildeat off, and it Jeaped back. He jumped away, and as “he animal fell he gave it a kick. This knocked it over, and quick asthought be jumped upon its head, It got free, though stunned, and started for him once more. He knocked it again with effect; offered for rale, the proceeds o which will ho used for puttiog up s sollege building, ete. These lots are in eize 66x132 feet, and are put upoxthe merket at 8§60 per lot. The strects are 66 feet wide and the alleys 16} feet., The vplatiing was done by Mr. Slm- mons, of thiscity, who Isan ¢iicient englneer, surveyor and dranghtsman. The termzof sale for one or more lcts is cash on eash lot sold, $10—the balance in four equal snnual inswllmenta, at 10 per cent per annum, The peoyie of Central Clty prspose to bake at least 400 lots. The inves jment is ablo certainty of 1 cent within two years. The grounds are high and dry, boing eight fcet higher than the Union Pacitic depot, which gives ample rooms for good cellars, Well water is nearly soft, and as pure, wholetoma and cool a3 san be found any- where in Nebraska, There is no local disesse, The pecple are hearty and strong and full of wes.crn enterpriso and thrift Not ithstanding the snow snd thaw, yesterday the streets were dry and dusty. One boast of the city is her fine roads, The soll is & se:dy loam and is easily cultivated. It produces all kinds of grain and vegatab'cs of supevior quality. There are six ¢hurches-—the Methodiss, Eplecopsl, Presbyterian, Baptlst, Free Will Baptist, Episcopal and Catholic, All have church buildivgs and are enjoying prosperity. The town of Central City is bloased with an unusual nambor of able buelness men, of broad idessand of starling Chris tian character, and they almost to s man ¢tand pledged In monéy and work and braius to make this seminary a grand suc- e. with = reason- dvance of 100 per cess. If the good people of the coafcrence will give the semyuary as strong and ear- nest support as lies in thelr power, th the prosperity of the school at ance passes heyond a peradventure, and makes it one of the yrand institutions of ths state. Beyween 400 and 500 lots over ana above the number taken in this town are placed upon the market for sale. Tivery lover of liberal and Chrisiian education is invited and usged to aid in this moes werthy enterprize by purchas- ing one or more lots, Scveral of our people axe taking a whole block each, that they may render the greater aid to the seminsry. It is predicied that a hun- dred new butldings will be jut up on this college rection the.coming season, and getting 1t 'mder his feet stamped it death. *‘1I was never so glad to see anything die in wy life,” he added as he rolled a Mexican cigarette. The cowboys are gocd friends. They love converaatlon, for it is what they are most deprived of, Uuvcshcep-berdon sald that he was three months in a canyon In north Texas without heariag & haman nolce. and that the only thing that fright- ened him during his stay was i wan who suddenly came upon him one day. He used to 1alk aloud to keep himself com- pany. There wis an educited cowboy in the ranch. He was a handsome young map.. with broad shoulders and full blonde beard, His chealis were nosy and his eyes were bright. KEducated in Bal- timore 1o bs a physiclan, he suddenly lefe the hannts of men to go tu She far wost. He was the picture of liealth, and bo seemed 10 enjoy his life, It was hinted that one of the brunc:te beauties of Baltimore could, if ehe would, tell why he turned his Fak cn all soclety.
