Got Religion and Paid up. I
A recent issue ot the Denver
Times contains the following
story. Some of our readers may
remember the owner ot the mule:
'This religious craze that is going
over the West is a good thing for
the conscience funds of the rail
roads and it helped us out the
other day to the extent of thirty
dollars," Bald John R, Manchester,
general claim agent of the Union
Pacific, at the Oxford hotel last
night. "In the spring of 1896 one
ot our trains killed a mule near
North Platte. The man sent in a
bill for $150. John Keith, then our.
claim adjuster, went out to investi
gate, andj'finally recommended that
twenty-five dollars be allowed. I
made out ja voucher for this amount
but the mau wouldn't accept it. lie
declared 'that the mule was a
youngster and worth fully $150 and
declared that we would have to pay
that sum. Mr. Keith had the mule
exhumed and inspected the teeth
and found them all worn down.
We stuck to the twenty-five dollar
offer.
'The case dragged albng, the
man threatening suit. We finally
became pretty well-convinced that
the man had placed the mule in a
culvert where it was struck by our
train and killed, but wc couldn't
prove it. However, we refused to
pay $150. It was late in 1897, near
ly a year alter the mule waB killed,
that "Buffalo Bill" w.ib in North
Platte. That'a his home and they
urned the town wide open. Gamb
ling devices ran open. Mr. Keith
was in North Platte at the time.
The owuer of the mule saw Mr.
Keith and said that he had lost all
his money and if Mr. Keith would
give him thirty dollars in cash he
would sign a complete release for
-all damages about the death oi the
mule. Mr. Keith gave him the
money, received the uccessiry pa
pers aud a week later the mule in
cident was closed no tar as the
claim department was concerned.
"About three weeks ago I got a
letter from the owner of the dead
mule. He now lives in Pueblo. He
said that, he had got religion and
hoped to live long enough to square
himself on earth with man, He
said that he had obtained a good
deal of money fraudulently and went
on to say that he had placed bis
mule in a culvert to be killed by a
Union Pacific train so that he
could delraud the company out ot
money. He enclosed thirty dollars
whicu lie said did not belonir to mm
and added that he owed the com
pany interest but could not pay at
present.
"I turned tuc tinny dollars over
to the conscience tund and I guess
the killing ot a mule near North
Platte six years ago is now really
a closed incident unless he should
pay the interest."

funny concoction of funny lines and

eminent comedian Harry Corson
