TITK OMAHA DAILY 111313 : THTUSDAV , SKIvPK > rm3R S , 1898. HE TAMED "COYOTE PETE" Bad Man Gomes to Grief After a Long Swaggering Career. SCENE IN A CRIPPLE CREEK DISPENSARY All llninln Onlorcil to "Mckrr fp" A Itiilct Mini llrjri't * ( lie ItMltntlon nnil ( iilinl ) Itcudn the Hint Act from Illntnr ) , Ho was a typical bad man , a modernized edition of the "Terror of Bitter Creek , " "hair hone , halt alligator , " a survival of the pe riod from ' 49 to the early ' 70s , when It was good form to at least claim a man for breakfast every rnornln ? . This particular bad man was an imitative relic , to be sure , o ! his predecessors In the days of prairie schooners and pioneer railroad building in the west and his name was "Coyote Pete , " for want of a better. Pete's early education , as well as his later knowledge acquiring , had bpen neglected , relates the New York Sun. He did not read the newspapers and ho still called parsons "gospel Eharps. " He usually herded by him- self. The average covvboj of today has little use for men of Pete's stamp The row boy of the present Is Intelligent , sober and hard working. Pete was not. Pete had been engaged in the fall roundup In Iloutt county , Colorado At least he said co. At the same time there were thoao who had doubts. Up across the line In Wvorumi ; the cattle "rustlers" had been unu-iuallv ac tive that season , and many a cattle mar nnd rancher was seeking revenge for IOE S from his herds It Is needless , however , to split hairs over this somewhat doltcato question. Be It as It may , Pete had money. His bucksKln boasted nearly $63 more than he had ever accumulated at any three former seasons of his lazy , vagabond life. So Pete was going to have a good time , "a rlpanor'lu' galoot of a time , " as he expressed , it , only Pete was H profane biped , and said more I'rom his alkali retirement Pete bad envi ously contemplated the rise of Creede , when thcro was "no night nt Creede , " beside being "day nil day in the dajtlme , " as the engineer poet has correctly and felicitously expressed It , The faint and exaggerated rumors that reached him of the exploits ol Bob 1'oril , who shot Jesse James from the rear , filled htm with jealous delight , and when Bob himself was filled with uncerc' monlous buckhhot and relegated to the new but well-filled cemetery to which the enter prising citizens of Creedo pointed with jusi pride. Pete felt that the mantle of the lau uiilamented ought by right to fall on hi : own narrow shoulders. Now Pete was b ; nature and custom a rank coward , wh < Eildom reached tbo falsely dignified grade o bully. In fact , the whiskey nad to be un usually vile and the victim unusually mcel in order to allow him to play the bully a all and those who knew him general ! ; Kicked htm about the time ho reached thi bull } Ing stage. I'rtr'n Oiportuillt | j . But Pete's opportunity had como at last Ills purse was full and so was he Han riding on his bucking cavuso had brough him from Routt county or Wjomlng t Wolcott , where the Denver and Rio Grand railroad stretched toward the peach orchard of Grand Junction on the one hand an toward Denver < jn the other. But Pete wa not going to Denver. The capital city hai got to bo altogether too slow and orderl ) There a gentleman was not allowed to x plodc his gun nor to yell on the streets li token of good feeling and an excessive flov of spirits. Cripple Creek was the only place in the opinion of Cojoto Pete Denver wa not to be thought of in connection vslth cowboy's vacation It did not occur to Pete who did not or could not read the news papers , that be held mistaken conception icgardlng Cripple Creek All he knew c cared about it was that It was a mlnln camp where things were supposed to be will open , and where a man got his own kin of an inning for his money. So now behold Co > otc Pete In all his dirt nnd drunken glory primed and cinched fc an ovenlng of enjoyment on Bennett avenu lu Cripple Creek. He was a little the wors for wear. Several sturdy and unappreclatlv brakcmcn had effectually remonstrated wit him for Insisting upon jelling at the to of his voice all the way from Wolcott t Colorado Springs , as a black eye and sprained nose bore evidence But Pete care little for these drawbacks now. His spr < was in the bulbing stage and ho meat business It was In the days before the bl fires ; still Cripple Creek had several saloot which the local papers called "palatial Into one of these reeled Covote Pete , at wabbling up to the bar ho began his glorlo career utter the fashion , as IIP fondly In nglned of Bob Pord In the palmy dajs i nlglitlcss Creede. "Whoopr" " waugh !

" Every saloon has its loafing contlnger and half n dozen men ranged thcmselv promptly in front of the bar. Pete thong they ought to look scared , but they appear jojed rather than othewlse , while the ge ; tlemanly barkeeper frowned severely as 1 placed a thick bottle containing the brai of liquor jopularly known as "hackmar whlskv" in front of the thirsty gang I Old not care for such custom. Pete was little surprlsol and n little nonplussed at t reception , but did not despair. Ho had n played all his cards , and now looked for chance to place the trump. 'VVnUlnn I p n MrniiKcr. Looking foggily around , he espied a m sitting drcarallj beside the glowing stove the back part of the room , apparently lost his own reflections. Hero was Pete's cham He lurched over to where the man sat a trod heavily on UN toes "Pardon me , " said the man , withdraw I his injured members "Look yere. stranger. Yer c'nfront Cojote Pete , ther champion of Routt coun who has axed jer to drink with hi Stranger , no man ever refused to drink w Cojote Pete and lived. Step up an" llcl with ther bojs er take the consequenc which will bo that jou'll be the fourteet victim of Cojote Pete's unerrin' aim " The stranger stared at Pete with a Ic of dazed surprise Then ho reached right hand slowly toward his hip pocket , I Pcto was too quick for him In an insti the stranger was looking Into the gapl muzzle of a revolver , held in the unste : hand of the self-confessed terror of Ro county. He did not appear to be alarm greatly to Pete's surprise. Ho dlsregan the revolver and drew forth from his poc a book , the covers of which he fondly rcsscd. "And have jou killed only thirteen n in all ? " bo said. ' s'urvly the west is generating.

Pete's pistol dropped to the floor and ex ploded , taking off part of the shoe of ono of the loafers. Another secured the gun and started for a pawnshop without a word of remonstrance from the terror of Routt county. Pete was dumfounded enthralled , up a stump The stranger went on "Then there was the fearful giant in the land of Brittany , an account of which may be found oa page 4S King Arthur 'went to the crest of the hill and saw where the giant sat at supper , knanlng the limb of a trfan and baking his huge frame by the fire , whlls three damsels turned three spits , whereupon were spitted like larks twelve joung chil dren , lately born ' Did I not hear j-ou. sir , remark something about eating a man for breakfast every morning' How , in thcso degenerate days , are the mighty fallen' ' Covoto Pete was nearly rounded up by this time He dropped , limp and gasping , Into a convenient chair. ' Am I a bad man , or is the stranger making fun of me ? " Pete partly recovered himself at the awful thought that he and not the stranger was being made a victim. Ho reached mechan- cally for his gun , but it was mUslng. The stranger took no notice of Pete a con dition. He went on- ' Hire on page 12S It tells a really remark able adventure of Sir Lancelot's at the Him 10 took the part of Kin ?

When the three knights of Arthur's court saw this they rode at Sir Lancelot and each after the other attacked him , but ho overthrew them all and smote them nigh to death , Then , taking a new spear , he bore Jown to the ground sixteen more knights , and bo't them all BO sorely that they could carry arms no more that day. And when his spent was at length broken he took jet anothei and smote down twelve knights more , theme mo t of whom he wounded mortally1 "And jet jou pretend to be a bad man , Here , turn around and let me register mj candid opinion of jou " Cojote Pete turned around , but he illf not wait to be kicked He started for tin door , but fell Into the welcoming arms ol the city marshal and was energetically de posited in the calaboose by that official. Thi next morning the police Judge fined Peti 110 and costs and advised him to go home where ho would be safe And Pete , havim Just monej enough left to pay his fare bo'l to Wolcott , accepted good aldvlce for thi first time in his life. It was finally ascertained that the mai with the book was a professor in a countr ; college In Illinois , who had come to Colorado rado for his health , and Incidentally to stud ; human nature It was supposed that it wa the latter avocation that took him Into th saloon MINING IN THE BLACK HILL !

Leads to a Pitched Battle , ONE OF THt PARTICIPANTS FATALLY SHOT Trouble Crcm Out of Contrit for I'm- ift lou < if Hull \Vlirri' l'o - rcntlnnn tii Itmc Horn Hi-Id. COLORADO SPRINGS , Cole , Sept. " The political war between the two factions of the silver republican party resulted this morning in the death of Charles Harris of Denver. It was the result of an attempt by the Broad faction to capture the opera 'house ' , which was guarded by the Sprague faction. At 4 o'clock a ruah was made by seventy-five or a hundred of the Broad men from both front and rear of the building , and the Sprague men , who lie Id possession , In repelling the attack fired a volley Into t their assailants I Harris fell vUth a bullet through the abJomen and Is past medical aid The shooting occurred Just outside the opera house door. Several arrests have been made. The man who fired the shot which struck Harris Is undoubtedly In custodv but his name cannot now bo ascertained The tragedy results from the action of National Chairman Towne in removing Richard Broad from the chairmanship of the stRte | committee on the ground of "disloyalty" to the "silver republican part > and the cause I It stands for , " it being alleged that he had I joined in a consplrac } with friends of Senator Wolcott to defeat the proposed ! fusion with democrats and populists | Charles S Sprague , representing the Teller and Towne delegates , obtained pos- sesilon of the opera house In which the convention Is to meet tomorrow and re fused to surrender it at the demand of ex- Chairman Broad Mr Sprague is editor of the Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph. Sheriff M > In Pen eJmloi . Harris died soon after he was shot. An other man was struck In the cheek by the same bullet that killed Harris. Sheriff Boynton and Chief Gatrlsht took control of the opera house and made a thorough fccarch The sheriff sold they discovered a whole arsenal In the building The officers seized six rifles and ten revolvers The opera house 1" ! now In possession of the police , deputy sheriffs and adherents of ex Chairman Broad. No one is flowed to approach preach the doors. James A. How see. Wnlhr Russell , J. J. Lange and A. C Smith of the party In the hall were arrested I The sliding doors vvhi h form the entrance ! to the auditorium show the effects of the shooting.
