It was quite dark fn tho little shop
now, and Mender lit his lamp, leaning
low to his be nch to see in the light. A
lean cat came purring out of a corner
and the miner tdted back his chair.
"An me, with all my money, can't
make that poor little soul comferble,' he
sighed.
There was a sound of quick footsteps
outside, something liko tho clatter of
slipters down at the heel, then the latch
clicked.
"Ain't done, Nelly," called tho old
man. "I'll wait an" finish 'em; they're
purty fur gone."
There was no answer, only a sort of
gasp and a smothered exclamation from
the miner, who brought his chair down
with a jerk. Tho old man looked at them.
"I calc'late you two is 'quainted," ho
grinned.
Bill had forgotten his one stocking
foot, even his stern morality, and she,
that little, thin creature, with her white,
worn face, her sad, tearless eyes, was
looking at him so wistfully, so yearn
ingly that he must have known 'she had
not needed his telling her that ho cared
for her lcfore ho ran away. A quick
suspicion (lashed through his mind. She
loved him, and had come to Colorado to
lind him these three years back. Still
his lips had to utter tho name in liis heart
so long.
"Nelly!" he cried, with a sob; and she
sho put out her hands like a 6leep
walker; then, with a low cry, sho ran to
him and hid her face on his breast. Still
ho did not touch her as she clung to him,
weeping passionately.
"It aren't right," he muttered hoarsely.
"I sed never should you ljeas you is now
till it were. You an' me has seen camps,
an' knows what wrong ovo is."
She onlv clung closer, such a childlike
tiling, in "her shabby black gown, witb
her short little curls, and her tiny hand
clutching his arm.
"I tell you," ho cried, passionately,
"once my arms meet around you, 1 shall
never let 3011 go."
"Wal, you needn't" said Mender, dryly;
but there wcro tears in his old eye
"You neetl't. Bill she's a widder."
"It's 011I v since this mornin'," ho con
tinued, as tho big arms inclosed the tiny

"That no mother can furnish her in

DEATH OF PAT O'NEIL.'
A THRILLING CHAPTER IN THE
HISTORY OF YALE UNIVERSITY. .
The Great Klot of 1854, In WbicU the
Student Were Attacked by a Crowd of
Town Hot Cannon Ilronght Out, but
IMsahlrd by the Police Officer.
On Thursday evening, March 10,1834,
a party of Yale college students visited
Ilornan's atheneum,. at the corner of
Chapel and Church steeets. While there
they became involved in an altercation
with some men of the town. After the
Eerformance the students were assaulted
y a largo number of tho town boys
and roughly handled. The following
evening, March 17, about fifty of the
students went to tho samo theatre in a
body. During the performance no diffi
culty occurred, but outside about 1,500
town boys had assembled. A note was
passed around among the rtudents ac-
?uainting tliem with the situation. A
also alarm of fire was raised outside,
which eerved to augment the number of
the rioters. When the performance was
over the students remained in the theatre.
Presently they formed in line, two by
two, and, proceeding to the door, wero
met met by Maj. Bissell. lie told them
to proceed quietly to the college. The
students in lino crossed over to the south
side of Chapel street and proceeded
toward the college. The mob followed.
When Trinity church was reached a
volley of stones and brickbats were
hurled by the mob. Several of the
students were 6truck and knocked in
sensible. A MOB OP OVER 500.
Proceeding a short distance farther
the college men received a second volley.
Directly after this a portion of the mob,
which had hitherto occupied the street,
made a rush for the sidewalk. Immedi
ately four or five pistol shots were
heard, fired, it was afterward asserted,
bv tho students. Within two minutes
of this time a cry arose that a man had
been shot. Maj. Bissell observed a man
near liiru fall to tho ground. He raised
the body from the ground with the as
sistance of tho bystanders. Upon exam
ination at tho police station, where it
was taken, the body proved to be that of
Patrick O'Neil. lie had received two
stabs from a large dirk knife, and lived
but a few moments after the wounds had
been inflicted upon him. He was one of
the ringleaders of tho rnob upon both
Thursday and Friday evenings.
. When "the mob learned of his death it
became frenzied. About 500 or COO men
rushed for the arsenal, broke into it and
dragged out two cannon. They loaded
these to the muzzle with powder, stones
and brickbats and dragged them fo the
city green. Another' portion of the
rioters broke into the churches and rang
a general alarm of lire, which brought
immense numbers of tho people to he
scene. While at tho corner of Chapel
and Church streets Maj. Bissell mounted
an ordnanco carriage and addressed the
mob, ordering it to disperse. The rioters
replied that they respected the chief of
police, but must have blood for blood.
Maj. Bissell remained on the gun as the
mob dragged it toward the college, While
on the way up tho struei the rioters, in
their eagerness to get at their student
enemies, failed to keep a close watch
upon Maj. Bissell's movements, Before
the college campus was reached both
cannon had beer, spiked by the police,
under the leaderslup of Maj. Bissell,
without the crowd being aware of it,
Tho poliee, during the transaction of
theso events, had surrounded the
churches and prevented the further ring
ing of bells.
THE MAYOR RESTORES ORDER.
At 1:30 o'clock on Saturday morning
the cannon were brought into position
and trained to bear on South college,
where tho students had intrenched them
selves. When it was discovered tliat the
guns were useless an attack was made
upon tho building with paving stones
and brickbats, The structure was badly
damaged. Tho students lay low and
made no response. Cries of 'Bring out
the murderer!" resounded hi every aired
tion. At this juncture the mayor of the
city arrived and addressed the infuriated
crowd- He pleaded Ipng and earnestly
for the cause of order, and promised that
the city authorities would immediately
take tho matter in hand and bring the
perpetrator or perpetrators of the crime
to justice. His words proved effective,
and the crowd began slowly and sullenlv
to disperse. By 3 o'clock Maj. Bissel.
was ablo to convey the f annon to the
jail, and by 4 o'clock the city was quiet.
A court of inquiry was held on March
20, 1&54. No witness from the town was
called who was near enough to O'Neil
when he was stabbed to be able to testify
anything of value poncerning the idem
tity of tho perpetrator of the act. The
jury finally came to the conclusion, as
expressed in their verdict, that "Patrick
O'Neil came to lus death Friday evening,
the 17th of March, A. I). 1854, from
wounds received by him at the hands of
some person or persons to us unknown
the said Patrick O'Neil being at the time
engaged in, and leading, aiding and
abetting a riot."
Investigation was not pursued further,
Inasmuch as O'Neil belonged to the low
est class of society, and 110 one seemed
to caro very much for him. Public sen

COSTLY AND DEADLY KNIVES.
Itlaile Made for ltuslne tn the Early
Day of California.
In 185S M. Price, who then had a small
cutlery shop, sat up nights and made a
Una bowie knife, which ho exhibited in
the first Mechanics fair held in San
Frai icLico. After the fuir Ward Eaton
too!: the knifo to the Bank Exchange
and rallied it Cor $150. l'rico had taken
great care in tempering the blade, and
had offered to forfeit $i00 if any better
steel could be found. At tliat time Billy
Allison, of Yolo, was making knives,
which wero sought by all men who
wanted reliable weapons.
Surveyor General Higley had an Alli
son knife, and he backed it against
Price's blade. Tho test was made 111 tho
Bank Exchange, and aroused as much
interest as a national election. Gen.
lligley laua half dollar on tho counter
and di-ovljr the Allison blado through it
without turning the point or edge.
Ward Eaton wielded the Price blade
with a stdy, strong arm, and achieved
the sauie feat. Gen. Higley then tried
two half dollars, and tho point of his
knife turned. Eaton piled up three of
the coins, drove tho l'rico knifo through
them, and when ho raised the weapon
the three half dollars were impaled on
the Mi;:t, which was not turned.
That made lrice's bowio knives as
famous on this coast as Toledo blades
were in Spain, and every man who west
heeled bad to have one. Marion Moore,
a noted mining and sporting man, whoso
nitro-glyccrine blew up Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s express office on tho corner of Cali
fornia and Montgomery rtvor-ts. ordered
of Price tho best kiuiu lie could make.
Moore gavo Price a gold brick and a
pieco of gold quartz that he had taken
out of a mine with his own hands, and
told him to work the metal in. l'rico made
an eight inch bowie, having a gold handle
inlaid with quarts. Moore paid 175 for
tho weapon and handed back to Price
tho gold that was left over.
Moore's lawyer, McCabe, got a gold
mounted knifo for $100, and these two
expensive weapons played a leading part
in a bloody tragedy iu White Pine, Nev.
Moore had a mine there, and, as was
usual in those. Jays, somebody tried to
jump tho claim, Moore and McCabe
were caught in the tunnel by a band of
fighters lured by tho other claimants,
and cut their way out with their bowie
knives. Several men were killed iq the
fight, and as most of tho dead had pnly
knifo wounds, it is supposed that Moore
and his lawyer did sbnio game and lively
work.
A little gambler named Barney Kenny
used a 6ix and a half inch bowie pf
Price's mako with deadly effect about
eighteen years ago. Ila was playing
poker with tlueu other 6ports (n a
saloon u Portland, Ore. Somebody was
caught cheating, and Barney grabled
the pot. Instantly the three cpnfeder-r
ates pulled their pistols and blazed away
at Barney, wo drew his knifo and
waded in desperately. After a brief but
furious combat, in which fifteen shots
were tired, Barney walked out of tho
room, leaving tho others on tho floor,
One was dead, a second mortally
wounded, and the third out so badly
tbat he had tq bo in a hospital for
months.
In 1 SGI Price made two knives for Col.
Jack Gamble, who supplied Mexican
gold onzas for tho handle frames. The
handles were inlaid with abaline shell
and gold quartz, and tho colonel paid
400 for the two weapons. Gamble gave
one to his friend Charles Norris, who
lost it some years later. It was a mere
fancy of Gamble's to have such a
weapon, as he was never known to use
it. Joe Winters, in 1864, walked into
Price's place with two friends, saw three
75 knives in the case, bought them, and
turning around, presented ono to each of
his companions just as ho would hand
about 'cigars.
One of the men who bought an extrav
agantly expensive knife from Price came
into tho shop some time after a fight had
occurred in a mine and several men had
been carved to death, and exchanged tho
weapon for some other wares. As he
put 'the gold mounted bowio down he
said with a shiver that he would never
uso a knifo again. When the weapon
was examined the blade was found rusted
with blood, and thero was blood even in
the crevices between the slabs of the
handle and tho frame. Thero were no
guards on tho hilts of theso knives, be
cause the men who bought them carried
them for sudden use, and a guard ia
likely to catch in the clothiAg and delay
the draw.
The first big knives made by Price
were for a party of United States sur
veyors, who wanted them as substitutes
for axes in cutting trails through tho
brush. The blades were twelve inches
long and very heavy, and in the hands
of a strong man would cut a person's
head oil at one blow. San Francisco Ex

"Doc" Smart, a noted Western bandit,
with two confederates, bought all the ;
playing cards at El Paso, at Goldsberg s ;
stationery store, paying for them $75, j
and when questioned as to what they in- '
tended doing with them said that "they !
were going up m the mines and expected
to do 11 great business, but if they failed
would like the privilege to return what
they did not use. Goldsberg consented,
and 111 a few days they returned w;th
about half of them.
This ra:ne Goldsberg was in the habit
of fujT.Uihhtg all the faro banks in town
with cards, and upon receiving orders
for them and having none on hand ex
cept those returned by Smart he divided
the lot between the different "banks,"
and cn the same night every "bank" in
El Puso was "busted" by Smart and a
few of his confederates. The last "bank
broke" examined their cards, and found
that every card had been "pinched,"
An investigation at each "bank"
showed their cards "pinched" in tho
same manner. It was found out next
day that Smart had returned these cards
to Goldsberg, and, of course, it wa3 de
cided that Smart and his gang "pinched"
them. The town was too hot for him
for several days after. It is estimated
that the winnings were about $125,000.
