NEW YORK CHICAGO. 8T, LOUIS ITHE OMAHA DAILY BEE; THURSDAY. AUG'UST 25, 1 THE TRAMPS OF THE WEST. How They Manage to Live and Travel— Some of Their Peouliarities, THE PIRATES OF THE PRAIRIE. A Young “Hold-up's” Story of How He Was Initiated — His First “Work” Was Done in Omaha— The Champion Dead-Beat? Fred Archer writing from Denver to the New York Star says: There 1s an- other class of wanderers whose purposo is the same, but whose methods differ materially from those of the young men who started west with money, and who take to their new homes only faiut im- pressions of what the west really is. This Iatter class are the “‘pirates of the prai- Tl In the east they are put to sawing wood or breaking stones; out here some of them break heads. There ure 10,000 of them on the prairie _between the Mis- sourt river and the Rocky Mountains, and 20,000 more are operating on the other side of the range, The advent of this individual is very different from thut of the young man with the wad. He strikes limited wardrobe and no money. doesn’t invest in real estatein Kan but collects a great deal in his trs sit across it. Indi 1 less chap of rough appe: do anything but work, und always cager to eat, The ssitudes which appall the “tenderfoot” are an old story with hin, and he never considers them twice, e personally acquainted with ¥ n, cowboy and fellow pirate on 1, und usually manages to reach Denver with little troubie and the sume amount of money as when ho started. When he doesn’t connect he usually 1ks, and a tramp over the steel rail ay in the isolated and barren portions of the alkali country has no terror for him, He has tackled it before, and knows just when he will reach the next seetion house, whom he will meet and liow much rustling he will-have to do for a “square.” When le strikes Denver he is all right, He meets hundreds of fellow pirates, and manages to serape up enough from them to live until he ecatehes on. Theu he goes out and works on the railroad. ‘The pirate knows every jailor and every poor house from Dubugue to Los Angeles, He has one ruic in life which he regards sacredly—it 1s to eat at all hazards. And no matter what the consequences are, he usually does it. Hundreds of him are jostled y day on the ities, and in every town on the mountamns he is largely repre- sented. His profession is primarily that of a railrond man, and he seldom’ does any work outside of that. From Denver and the other mountain towns he goes to the scene of the construction of a new i 1, works a month or two, and ck with a few dollars. Then he ansus City or Omaha wulhx\ o loads ur, has a good time, and if he escapes a ride in the patrol wagon, looks about tor another engage- ment He is mnever disconcerted, however, 1f nothing turns up— the dives and faro banks affording a place to spend histime, while he depends npon his wits tor his tood The faro banks are the f places he seeks out, and several of him will lean over your shoulder i 5 ing a sleeper’’—st he immediately cashes in and proceeds to buy something—usually wet. 'l"m- a study. They live a life peculiarly eristic of the west Few of them have any family ties, orf they have, do not regard them. They are constantly roaming about, their pos- sessions himited to a rough suit of cloth- nd possibly a blanket, tied up with a piece of old tarred rope. They never remain long enough in one place to get acquainted, and when they do are usual- ly serving the state, The average pirate can tell you the name of every calaboose in all the western states, and can describe the bill of fare with an accuracy that is ar above hisgeneral intelligence. Some of them ure old-timers, to. I met an old fellow in Cheyennea month ago who had worked on every railroad built west of the Mississippi river. “When I struck Lincoln, Neb., twenty- one years ago,’’ said he, "'l came from the coke regions of Pennsylvania with ninety cents. To-day I have eighty cents less. I don’t believe, in that period, 1 have remained in any one county or city six months, although I have been to some of them a number of tim Rustling agrees with me. When I h toscheme for my meals and a place to slecp I ap- preciate them. I'don't work very hard and only when I please, and get a8 much enjoyment in a cheap, though substantial form, as Jay Gould does with his mil- na lodging, lions. I hav'nt got a relative on th that [ know of, and have not h ard n word from my native place, Utica, N. Y.; in fifteen years. It's a careless sort ol life I lead, free from restraint, and it suits me better than any other. I sup- pose I'll keep traveling about from place to place until I ‘cash in,” and th don't Kknow of anybody who will feel bad, un- less it is the town that has to plant me.” There are n great many among this class who are not harmeless and peace- ful. These are the ‘‘hold ups'’ or better known as the ‘‘stand and deliver” men, They have a limited field 1n the open prairies, but conduct most of their oper- ations in the towns or cities. Like the festive burglar, they seleet a dark night and a back street as the scene of their op- erations. Some of them carry sandbags, others are urmed with guns or accom- plices. They pick out some nice, peace- ful looking gentleman, ‘‘hold him up” artistically and without ostenation 1f pos- sible, but with eclat if necessary. If “the citizen is easily intimidated and gives up they usually take nis “‘stuff,” go down mto the brilliantly lighted halls and in- vest in a stack of “whites.'” 1f he pro- tests, however, a couple ot affectionate taps on the head renders him submissive und they leave him to be discovered by the next passe v. They do not enjoy the fruits of their ill-gotten gains long, but get rid of it quickly, and, s & gen- eral thing, wind up behind the bars. ‘These wmen huve effected many depre=- dations, and the mystery surrounding some of the great crimes of the west could be cleared away by their testimony or confession, “Why don't you try to reform?®’ I asked of a **hold up” who has seen but o month of liberty during the past year. The man eyed me susbiciously, and then broke nto a course laugh, but sud- denly a serious expression came over his face, and for a moment he seemed lost in thought, “Reform,” he said, and it scemed ag if the sliihle![ tinge of bitterness was noticeable as he spoke, “What do you mean by reform? what 1s there to reform for? Suppose I were to go to a man and tell him [ was about to reform and wanted something to eat, what do you think he would do? Give me a_chance? No. He would call the first officer and have me arrested.” “‘But you might be capable of some- thing better. You have received a good education®"’ “Yes, [ did,”" was the sullen reply *‘but what good did it do me? What good will it ever do me? I might have done it three years ago, when [ first came out into this country, but now it is too late,” “What ever induced you to become what you are?" “It ain't a long story, if you care about listening.

Then I became desperate. I'hat morn- ing I collected for the tirm £175, and be- fore night 1 was on my way to Chieago, The cash didn’t last long there and I could get no work, so | beat my way out lhrnugl; lowa and finally reached Coun- i ufls, he night I arrived there it was rain- ing, and as [ no money and no place to go, I wandered into u saloon and sat down, regularly tired out, It was there I became acquainted with Jack Carr, whose partner had been arrested for rob- bery the day before. Jack took a fancy to me, and suggested that we should go over the river to Omalia and do some “‘work.” I had a vague idea what work he meant but hunger had dutled my feel- ings and I was willing to do anything. We hung around a little park until it was quite late, und then Jack told me what lie wanted me to do. 1 was to cateh hold of the man he would point out and throw my arms around his neck and almost Iift him oft his feet, then Juck would go through him, after which 1 wus to throw the man forward on his face und the job was done. “Preity soona m Jack whispered, snateh kim,' 1 was afr to refuse, and trembling like a leaf, followed his in- structions. It seemed to me as if I held that man for an hour. A cold sweat broke out over me, and once when the mun siruggled a little bit [ felt as though I could not get my breath, But it was soon over and we started and ran. A ror came over me and I was expect- ing any moment to hear some one_cry ‘Stop, thief!'

Ah, thanks, pard,” he resumed, withanartificial gayety, he reached for the coin profiered b “I'l drink to you."” Inside the saloon he ‘went to “‘blow her in,” ufter ‘which the next “job"” would probably be discussed and the ‘“‘outlit” would y low until the hour came for “earessing” avictim from the rear and touching him for all his “stuft. me along and s our meat; The Champlon Deadhead.

Tne night was durk, so dark that you couldn’t see your hand before your face, I ioooked around, thinking I could hide myself, but that was out of the question. I was standing on the last step and happened to look around the cornet of the car. The win- dow next to where 1 stood was open,*and L hit a bold plan, Whew, It makes me shiver to think of 1t, and I never want to go through 1t it again, not for all the rail- roads in the United State: “Well, sir, when 1 saw the conductor come from the other end of the car I swung around to the side, caught hold of the window sash and nung there. Just then the conductor opencd the door, ex- vecting to find me on the platform. He felt for me, [ suppose, but he never dreamed to look for me on the side of a car.

The glare of the headlight shone upon me.

The enginecr of the westbound train had seen me by the hght from the locomotive elinging to w}' perilous pos ticn and saw me drop, He fan pack for me, picked me up and brought me to Johnstown again. It+was a miracle, of course, that I escaped death. I've been on top of cars nearly frozen, rode along for alxl{ miles on a truek of a car, but never had such a rough experience be- fore and never want to again. *And say, young man,” he continued, *if you ever go traveling like me, avoid steamers. 1 went us a stowaway one time, and U'll tell you what happened. Atter three days out at sea 1 was discov- ered. The captain said to me: ‘Young man, you'll have to go to work." He set me to scraping off paint for mine days. At the end of that time we reached port and, instead of being allowed to land, was placed in irons and kept there until we left, when 1 was liberated and set to work again all the wayto New York, where they allowed me to go.
