BARR D A MURDERED BORDER BULLY. Bensational Killing of Joe Hall by ‘Herbert Reynolds. ANNALS OF A NEBRASKA TOWN An Encounter Between the Employes of the Hudson Bay and North- west Fur Companies—A Generous Tough. Sensational Murder. For The Bes. The killing of Joe Hall, the rowdy, roysterer, gambler and all round border tough, by Herbert Reynolds, the cow- Boy, at Whitman, this state, one year @go, was a sensational murder, and one that created much excitement at the time, although but little about the af- fair was ever heard of through the Omaha press. Joe Hall, the victim of the tragedy in question, made hisappearance at Whit- man, about the time the Aurora & Broken Bow branch of the B. & M. reached there. Nobody knew whence he came, or who he was, and cared less, for he soon became a holy tervor in the embryo city, and somo of his deeds for cowardly brutality and fiendish heart- Jessness surpassed anything known in the criminal annals of the western part of the state. An original was this border bully, worthy of a word or two of description. In his physical and moral man, he was a complex character. A big, broad-shouldered hybrid, having in his veins at least three sepavate streams of blood—Ruropean, Mexican and Indian—with a dash of the devil to give a proternatural spice to the com- pound. He was a most repellant char- acter in all things, fearing God after a fashion, but secmingly without the slightest fear of man. When I men- tioned that he was cowardly, I only meant in the infliction of torture upon the victims of his hatred, offenders eithor real or imaginary. He possessed an inexhaustible fund of thrilling sto- ries and information relative to early overland life, and many an bour was whiled away by his reckless companions in listening 10 his recital of countless and yaried ad- ventures. He was a man of probably fifty-five yeurs of age, yet,notwithstand- ing his roamings throughout the world, was very ignorant, s associates had always been of the lawless class, He pever went unarmed, and hike all bul- Lies, derived much satisfaction in the display of his knife and hissix-shooters, and he wasn’t slow in the use of either, When he made his debut in Whit- map he scemed to have plenty of money, and altor a week’s spree, in which he shot the mirror and all the bottles and glassware 1o pieces in the **Razzle Daz- zle,” saloon and nm-dlv-gurdy house,un then by John Duke, bul aflterwards by the notorious Do¢ Middieton,and wound up the debauch by shooting & cowboy from the Iigure Four through the lungs, and sobered up and started a dance house, gin mill and gambling bell, known as the “*Headquarters.” As before stated he soon became a ter- ¥or to the cowboys, graders, and the motley crowd of Lorse-thioves and des peradoes who congregated there, and ruled the town like a potentate of old. As a sample of the man’s total disre- gard for life, and his incredible nerve, T will relate anincident in his life at the trading post of Marrs, on the Niobraro, as it was told me by one,Tom Donald- son, an old buffalo hunter, who still re- sides at Whitman. “Yas, sir,” eaid Donaldson, “this man Hall was u regular built the hardest, toughest ever knew. [Iifteen years was with the Nor-west Iur pany, and I was with the Hudson 3ay, and one night late in the fall, a lot'of us boys dropped in at Mo “Ne ware all’ sittin’ round the stove Furney’s saloon, lyin’ and jokin’, when finally we got it on Jake Thompson, about as big a ruffian as Hall himself. He asked us all up to drink, and as we were standin’ along the bar wishin’ each other purty good luck an’ all that, 1 walked Joe Hall and four or five of his partners. In ’em days you probably knew the Northwesters and the Hudson Bay men didn't trot in the same class— it ‘was the navy or the knife on the slightest pretext. “Hall and his frien’s stood afore the stove & moment, when Joe,in an in- sultin’ tone, remarked: ‘I say fellers, it hain’t harf a man as'll take his whisky in the presence of gentlemen an’ not ax ’em to jine, eh Then afo any one could reply, he continued, ‘Isuy, Thompson, maybe you don’t know me, an’ if you don’t, all I've got to say is that I'm the biggest bumped-back dummedary ’long the Niobrara, an’I kin eat more sow-belly, chaw up more terbacker, and whip any two-legged monkey that walks, Am 1 to havea drink?” 1 see business in Jake’s eye, and sort 0’ loosened up my sixes fur ‘mergen- cies. Iwas jestin time, for when Hall took a step to'ards the bar, Thompson turned on him like a flash, and dashin’ his whisky in his face said: *“Yas, there it is, 'un I kin muke you eat this glass!” “Everybody drawed, but as we war 'bout evenly matched, no one seemed anxious to “take the first crack. We talked it over a minute, then we all ‘groed to let Juke and Joe have thar kuives only, an’ settlo it 'twix them- selves. 'Course they's willin’ and as they drew their charges we all backed up agin the wall to_gin ’em fair play an’ plenty o' room. The next minnit they were to- gether, and as luck would have it, Hall dropped his knife at the first fashshay, and as he went to recover it, ‘Thompson knocked him on his back, an’ with one kuneo on one arm and ’tother on his breast, Jake lay his long knife on Hall's throat, “Phar, Joo Hall,’ said Thompson, ‘it you had nie in sich a fix, what'd ye do? 1 cut your bloody throat from ear to car!’ eried Hall, with an oath, “*And to the disappointment of all us Hudson men Jake let him up, and ex- tendin’ his fist, said: *“Pake it, Hall you're a good un, an’ come up here and tuke a drink!’ I thought the above a pretty good story, but offered no comment, as Donaldson isn't the mildest-mannered man I have ever met, und his breath smelt like a gin-mill then, so [ accepted *the story, treated, and said never a word, But to the killing of Hall, One even~ ing just a year ago last October, after Hill had’bacn running the ‘‘Head- uarters” a couple of months, he got dronic ana smused himself b making everybody, at the point of his six- shooter, to either sing, dance or treat, who happened in his place. Eyery eitizen of Whitman knew what # drunk for Joe Holl meant, and it muy be well understood that the patronage of his dive fell off very materially on such oceasi Ouly the roughesi and would venture to ap- bar or gaming tables at such Ho had just finisied with o couple of voung cowboys whom he had left dane- ine for fully an hour, varying the monot- hooting the floor full of holes heir fect, when Reynolds, a cow boy from one of the upper ranges, and a stranger in the town, dropped in. He had heard the music and the shooting, and went in to see what was up. He had no sooner crossed the thresh- old when Hall staggered up to him, and swinging his six-shooter in his face, eried, **You're jest in time, young fol- ler, we're all dry; come up and treat.” “I can't do it,” said Revnolds, I haven’t got any stuff, and I con’t want to be throwed out,” and he tried to Y growled the drunken bully,” “Well, then, wh at ex cuse have you fur boin’ on earth? Loo out! did that hurt?”" he quickly add as he jammed the muzzle volver ‘into Reyuolds’ face, cuttin gash in his lip, and all but knocking him down. hat kind of treatment is this to show a man?” snid Reynolds. as he wiped his bloody lip with his sleeve. “Lhaven’t donc i thing: I really have but no man can treat me and his eyes fiashed like y can’t. eh?” leered Hall; “well, you like that?” and as he he whirled his six- shooter in grasping it as it revolved by the bavrel, and be- fore Reynolds could protect himself, the big bully struck him an awful blow with the butt full in the . The blow did not knock him down,but the second one did, and as he was serambling upon his hands and knees to get out of the in- furiated brute’s way, he kicked him through the open door into the sands of the street. Reynold’s no w0 terribly wus broken and his cerated, and he stag- gered into Mannering’s office ani fainted, A crowd of angry cowhoys quickly gathered in the place, and while they sympathized witn Reynoids and did all they could to alleviate his sufferings, none was so bold as to pro- pose summary vengennce upon Hall, After having his face washed and bandaged, Reynolds said he would loave the place, and remarking that he be- longed to the Three Bars rvanch, and that they would probably hear from him again, he disappeared into the dark- ness, striking up novth of the town, pust the refrigerator, and over the frowning sand hill, Late that night, when all the ful citizens of the pl. had retived, and the sounds of the desperate orgies that were being carried on by desperate men and depraved women emanated from Hall’s disreputable hole alone, the crack of a Winchester rifle startled the town. The door of the “‘Headquarters” was wide open, a lurid glare from the coal- oil lamp streamed out lighting upan ave- nue across the railroad track and against the tents of the gradors boyond. Hall, the nken bully,tired out with his night’s sport, had just stepped up to the bar, and told Harry, the bar-tender, ho give bim a night-cap, and he'd go to ed. He was in the act of hoisting the whisky to his lips whon the Winches- ter’s sharp report crashed upon the quiet of the night.

The bank of Genoa was established in 1407, and grew out of the management of the debt of the Genoese government. In 1148 the government incurred its | first formal debt, sccured by customs | auties: ench hundred francs of the debt was a share and each creditor a share- holder. The loans were termed ‘“‘com- peras,” and colle were known as George.” 2ople arose in revolution > books of the “Comperc” were In 1371 is recorded the first known instance -ompounding of intere Franci aldi gave his shares in the compere of St. George to the compere, the interest on them to ho annually applied to the purchase of other shares, until a sum should be col- lected in addition to the principal, which should be sufticient to pay off one of the loans. This done the process should be repeated. Others followed in Vivaldi's steps, and the credit of the compere grew apace. In 1675 the old title of “‘compere” was discarded and the institution known simply as a bank.

This credit was naturally termed bank money It possessed a constant value and was worth more than money in actual circu- lation, A run was mudu on the bank at the time of the rench invasion of 1672, but all demands were promptly met and the credit of the bank much enhanced The credit and standing of the bank was maintained for 118 ars after this, until December, 1790, when it was dis- coyered that the available assets had beon loaned to the Dutch East India company, but a run was averted by the finesso of the managers, until in 1794 the bank was found to be wholly bank- rupt and ceased to exist.

The circulating modium of Sweden was copper, and large payments were made with great inconvenien To remedy this the bank received the copper money and issued bank notesaguinst it, which passed current all over the country.
