THE STAGE-COACH TRAGEDY. A Thrilling Tale of Early Days in Colorado. TOWNSEND'S LIFE AND DEATH. Captain Cummings Reminiscences— A Double Life-A Youthful Emissary — Triumph of Judge Lynch. Ten years ago the excitement of the day in Denver reached its climax when Captain Bill Cummings drove the Lead- ville coach out of the stableyard and pulled up in front of the United States hotel. In anticipation of the great daily event a crowd always began to gather an hour or two before the time set for thestage’sdeparture. To passthe time pleasantly, the erowd, all of whom wore big slouch hats and carried pistols, speculated on the chances of the stage getting to its destination, and told wild stories of the last time Captain Bill had been “held up,” and how much the ex- press had lost when the highwaymen had broken open the box, after killing the messenger. A short time ago, while in Denver, T was taken to the stable and shown the old stage. Itis not much to look at now. The paint has worn off the sides, and the leather curtains, which used to be neatly rolled up, now hang down and mournfully flap in the wind. While I stood looking at the old stage and try ing to imagine some of the scenes through which it had passed, the stable door opened and an old man entered. After I had scen the look of affection which he cast at the old stage, I was not surprised when my friend intro- duced him as Captain Bill Cummings, the famous driver. At first Cummings seemed disinclined to talk, and ap- peared to think that my questions were prompted solely by idle curiosity, but after a while he relented. He climbed up 10 his old place on the box, where he had passed through so many dangers, and after politely waving my friend and mfi'ml( to a couple of empty barrels, which stood in one corner of the stable, he began to talk. “Yes,” he said, “this old stage has Been many a flum and been ummgh lots of dangers,but the toughesf time it ever had was in '76 and ’77. In _those days the hills between here and Leadville were infested by the worst gang of stage robbers that were ever known in this region. It wasnot that they were any worss than other gangs, but they were under the leadership of a man whose devilish cunning was such that it seemed impossible to corner him or even to find out exactly who he was. He tried it on once too often, however, and when his identity was made known after his death, it turned the whole of Denver upside down for o we sk, There was at that time a business house on Larimer street, where all the miners went to get their supplies. The head of it was one of our most enterprising citi- zens, and wus generally respected and looked up to. His name was Amos V. Townsend. It had been reported that some of the stage robbers had been heard to call their leader Amos, but no one over dreamt of connecting the fam- ous desperado and_the respected mer- chant together. One night just before the stage was to leave Denver, I wus taken aside by a friend and was told to take particular care, ns one of my passengers was going to Lead- ville to purchase some mining proper- ties and had a small fortune in his belt. The would-be mine owner was pointed out to me. He was a young fellow with aquiet, determined appearance, who seemed well able to take care of him- self. Besides him there was only oue other inside passenger, whom I took to be n tenderfoot, from his nervous man- ner and the absence of any weapons abovt him. The two express guards and mysclf were the only ones outside. As we were driving down Laramie street T happened to see Mr, Townsend standing near the stove, and I saw him nod to some one inside, but I took it to be a pnsxing farewell to the young man who was going to buy the mines. I had not much to say to my passengers, and 1 took them to be about as unsociuble a lot a8 I had ever carried. wh seemed 10 attend strictly to his own business, and it was only at long intervals that 1 heard their voices s they talked to euch other. “On the evening of the second day we had got well intothe mountains and when we drove upto Banks’' station. where we took supperund chuanged horses, I began to think that we would get through safely. Both passengers got out to eat, and I noticed that the manner of the young man I had ranked a8 u tenderfoot was even more nervous than it had beer when we left Denver, and I sized him up as being unfit for the ‘country into which he was going, We staied at the station about half an hour and then I saw my two passengers safely inside and climbed on the box. Just as 1 was gathering up the lines old Banks camwe out and told me he had seen a man drive by with aled horse just before dark and I had better be careful not to run over him. At this I saw my tender- foot stick his head out of the window, but he quickly pulled it in again and I drove on. “Just as daylight was beginning to appeur over the top of the high mount- ains I drove up to_ the last station be- fore reaching Leadville and dismounted from the box with a sigh of relief, as I felt that now all danger was over. But when I put my head into the stage door 10 arouse my passengers I drew it back with & yell of surprise and horror. In the dim light T could plainly see that there was only one man inside, and from his strange position I knew some- thing was wrong. When I threw open the door 1 found the only occupant of the stage was the man who was going to buy the mines. He was stone dead and cold” His throat had been cut from ear to ear; There was no doubt that my tenderfoot was the murderer, and after killing his fellow traveler and securing his belt with the money, he had crawled through the rear window of the stage and dropped off into the road. He had evidently taken the journey with the sole purpose of com- mitting the murderand taking the plun- der. When we carried the dead man into the station we found Captain Rawlins of the. Yenver mounted police, and three of k- enwho were out hunting for despe. does. They immediately gave up all other business and started in pur- suit of the murderer. The result of the hunt I heard from the captain himself. Half way between the two stations he found by the roadside a place where n camp fire had been built and where two horses had evidently been tied to a tree, By the uidu of the fire was the mur- dered man's empty belt. For four days the captain and his three men followed the trail of the murderer and his com- panion through the mountains. At last one night, before dark, they came upon the desperadoes in & mountain gorge. Both men were seated on the ground. Cautiously the cup(am and his men crept up the unconscious ruffians, Ewuh officer brought his gun to bear on one of the men ud then Captain Rawlins ealied upon them to surrender. Without an instant's hesitation each man grabbed his gun and fired on the officers. At the first discharge from the officers the man who had committed the murder fell and o mogient later his companion lay str d on the ground beside him. On examining them Captain Rawlins found that the younger man who had been in the stage, was not quite dead. Toward morning the young man ri vived sufficiently to talk. He refused to give his name and it was never known. He said, however, that Amos V. Townsend was the leader of the ix\nu and had planned the murder and ad commissioned him to execute it. On_the other man papers were found which proved beyoud question that Townsend was indeed the villain which the dying murderer said he was. “Captain Rawlins waited until his risoner died, and then ‘hastened to Denver to arrest Townsend. He found the old murderer in his shop, and quickly put him under arrest.” Here the old man_stretched himself d slowly descended from his seat. But,” said I, “‘what became of Town- send?” Captain Bill walked to the stable door and threw it open. Said he: “Stranger, you see that tree down the street? Well, the night Townsend was arrested u lot of masked men took him out of jail without much trouble, and the next morning he was found hanging from that big limb there. He also ha twenty-seven bulletsin his body.” Robutiv An 0dd Kind of Millionaire. London Daily Telegraph: A French millionaire cuts but a very indifferent figure in comparison with an English one. The Gallic variety has but the trifling sum of 1,000,000., or £40,000, placed to his account when his count men one and all accord him the title A real substantial millionaire from the English point of view has, however, 1 discovered in the person of M. Arnaud - Oyarcabal, who has just re- turned from South Americato hisnative town of St. Palais, in the Basque prov- inces, where in hig youth he helped his father to sell goats’milk. From his own countrymen’s point of view the success- ful goatherd is thirty timesa million- aire, for he wsesses 80,000,0001., or £1,200000 sterling. Fifty years ago Arm\u(l()ym'n-uhul went out to Buenos Ayres with his father. For a long time the two Basque peasants found the Ar- gentine republic anything but an El Do- rado, where, as in the imagination of many & poor emigrant, men pick up gold in tho streets. They suffered so much hardship and misery that the older man died, und his son became a servant in the house of a wealthy landowner who lived in the outskirts of Buenos Ayres. The landowner had no family, and he was so thankful for the devoted atten- dance of his Basque sevvant that he made Oyarcabal his sole legatee. On the death of his master the ex-goat herd purchased several lots of land be- tween the Paraguay and the Salado, and these they sold in a fe times their original value bal’s return to his native town of St. Paluis. has, of course made a gr sation in that rather primitive local and he is the wonder of the day all over the department of the lower F Far from dissipating hix doubloons amid the distractions and temptations of Pavis, where he might have a Renais- sance villa in one of the Bois de Bou- logne avenues, a stud of racers, a box at the opera, and be chronicled diurnally, like many of the millionaires from the new world, as the giver of Lucullus-like dinners and the cultivator of expensive s, he prefers to spend the evening ys in the shadow of his native hills and to do good to the people among whom his early life was p: Esoas ——— M. Oyarca- Souvenir, An Oil City Pa., letter says: J. Bookhammer, a well-known of that city has in his possession a unique souvenir, given him by John Drew, the old actor. When Mr. Drew was manager of the Avch Street theater, Philadelphia, Mr. Bookhammer relates this interesting incident: ‘‘About forty years ago when I was a young man _about Philadelphia 1 saved Mr. Drew's life. One night myself and a few friends were out swim- ming off the ‘Turtle Rocks,’” in the Schuylkill, a rhort distance from the city. While we were there a party of gentlemen came out in a boat and also went in bathing. 1was a frequent at- tendant at the Arch Street theater, and I at once recognized the party as Mr. Drew, Mr. Thayer, and other mem- bers of the stock company of that theater. After the gentlemen had been in the water a few minutes, one of themexelaimed v God! where's Drew? He can’t swim!” The moon was shining brightly and I saw air bubbles rising on the water not far from the rocks. With| ouy stopping to ask any questions dived to the bottom at that spot and came up with Mr. Drew. He was al- most gone* but by extraordinar his friends succeeded in resu him. A few days after I received a note from Mr., Drew asking me to call and see him at his residence, My brother and I went around and were met at the door by Mrs. Drew, who showed us into her husband’s room. He had not yet fully recovered. Mr.Drew re- ceived us very cordially, and expressed his gratitude'in a very feeling manner. He proposed & money recompense for what I had done, but T declined. Going to a desk he wrote something on a piece of paper, and, handing it to me, said I could at least accept that. It was a pass for myself and my friends to the Arch street theatre as long as he or any of his friends should control it. T accepted it gladly, and, although it was given to me forty years ago, I still have 1t in my possession. AL L How Much a Man Eats. Richard A. Proctor in the October Cosmopolitan: It has been calculated that on the average, each man that at- tains the age of three score and ten consumes during the course of his life twenty wagon-loads of food, solid and liguid. At four tons to the wagon, this would correspond to an average of about & hundred ounces of food perday, or say some one hundred and tweniy ounces per duy during ndult life, and about eighty ounces during infancy and youth. ~ Most modern doctors agree in vegarding one hundred and twenty ounces of food per day, c Fouamgm five or six half-pints of liquid food, and seven or eight pounds of solid food,us in excess of the real daily requirements of a healthy man or women, bably most of us take in one way oranother, during the day. Dr. Lankester, from an exten- sive analysis of the dietary of soldiers, sailors, prisoners, and the better pmd classes of artisans and professional men in London, found the average daily quantity of solid and liguid food to be one hundred and forty-three ounces. Doubtless many take much less; but un- questionably many take much more than this. When some one mentioned before Sydney Smith the twenty wagon- loads of food caleulated for each man's allowance, he turned to Lord Durham, who like himself was cor pulent (and not without sufficient reason), with the uaint remark, “I think our wagons, urham, must be four-horsed ones.” There ure members of the London cor- poration, to seek no further, whose wag- ons must be six-horsed ones, wud well loaded at that. more ACTUAL LIFE IN THE FAR WEST. How a Young Californian Made His Swectheart Wash Off the Rouge. San Francisco Chronicle: A grown- up man, w man of mature years, would not have done it. He would have put his arm around her and said gently: “Dear, I don’t like your painting and powdering. It doesn’t make you look nice. And she would have told him that she thought she did, and of he didn’t like it he could go and get another girl, or something like that. At the best she wouldn’t have taken any notice of the remonstrance. But he was a young man, and that was not his way. He was going to take her to the theater, and, knowing her peculiarity, he put a powder puff and a box of rogue in his ocket. When she came down stairs e saw she was decorated as usual. He immediately pulled out his rogue and powder and painted himéelf up. “What are you doing?” “Only making myself handsome.” “1 will not go out with you like that.’ “*Why not?’ It would mortify me to death.” “Well, but you're just like '.hut. “That's a different thing.” “Well, I'll_ make a bargain. If you will wx\sh oft yours I will wash ' off mine,” “We don’t gu out, then?” “All rig “But s}w lhml‘zht better of it and she accepted his bargain. She was very pretty after that. e — OMAHA LIVE STOCK. Baturday, Oct ttle. The receipts of cattle were liberal for the close of the week.
