His Little
Boy'sPistol
By THOMAS R DUNN
This happened some thirty years ago.
Manners in the far west are better
now than they were then. , Indeed,
they are as civilized there as any
where else.
A stagecoach drew tip in front of a
tavern in a small town where gun law
wis the only law on the statute book.
But even that was an unwritten law,
for there was no statute books to write
it in. A young nan, dressed in the
ordinary, business costume of New
York or Chicago or Philadelphia or
nny other eastern city. got out of
the coach withvthe other passengers
and went Into the tavern. He asked
if there were any letters for him. The
landlord handed him one. lie read it
and hunted through his pockets for his
cigar case. Not Gndiug It at once, he
took out seven articles while making
the search, among them a small pistol.
Several men. denizens of the coun
try, were lounging about, among them
a red faced man with a stubble beard
and as many scars on his face as a
German student member of a dueling
corps. This man caught sight of the
new arrival's pistol, and it at once ex
cited his interest. ,
"Lcinme see that, stranger," he said.
The young man handed him the pis
tol, and he looked it Over with evident
pleasure and amusement.
'Turty. isn't it?" he remarked. ' y
He continued to examine it. cocking
and uncocking -it. Meanwhile the
stranger found his cigar case end, lean
ing a chair up on its hind legs against
the wall, sat down on it, resting his
heels on the front round and. lighting
a cis?ir, smoked.
"What, do you do with it?" inquired
the red faced man.
The strauger smoked on without
making any reply. His sang froid ex
cited the attention of the bystaudors.
who commenced to move uneasily
away. The man who asked the ques
tion was Scar Joe, so called from the
traces of his many fights. He was
not used to asking questions and Ve
celving no reply. He cast a "single
glance at the stranger and went on
cocking and uncocking the revolver.
"Gom to make a birthday gift of it
to your little hoy?" he asked.
Still no reply.
"Will it shoot?" persisted Scar Joe. -
This third question eliciting no -eply,
the westerner took a quick aim at the
granger's cigar and f.red. and cigar
and sparks left the smoker's lips.
He didn't turn pale. 'He didn't look
at Scar Joe reproachfully or fearfully
or any other way. He didn't, look at
him at all. He simply took out anoth
er cigar, lighted it and went on sniok
ing. "Does shoot, don't it? - Shoots purty
straight, don't it? I wonder if I could
do it again!"
He tired a second shot with like re
sults.. The stranger remained (as im
perturbable as before, taking out an
other cigar and lighting it with as lit
tle apparent objection" to this waste of
cigars as if he were loaded down with
them. Acain Sear Joe sent it flying
amid a shower of sparks.
"Stranger," said the smoker in a soft
voice, "you're one of the best shots I
ever saw. That pistol I've brought
from the east as a present for my wife.
I've got another for my little girl that
I'll bet you can't hit a silTer dollar
with at ten yards." .
"Leinme see it"
The stranger thrust his right hand
into his trousers pocket and grasped
something that he drew out so clutched
in his fist that it was not easy to dis
cern what it was. One-of the lookers
on, with better or quicker sight than
the others, seemed to get on to some
thing about to happen, for he ducked
nnder a tb!e. The stranger reached
the thing out to his tormentor. It ex
ploded, aud Sear Joe staggered back
ward., at the-same time putting his
hand to his hip. The something in
the stranger's list exploded again, and
the westerner fell dead.
One would" naturally suppose that
those present would be cliielly interest
ed iu the fallen, man. So they were
till they Mere convinced tli.it he had
received his last scar. Then all of a
sudden their minds concentrated on the
thing in the stranger hands that had
clone the work. All eyes turned toward
him curiously. lie had returned the
explosive thing to his pocket.
"Landlord." he said, "I'd like some
thing to eat In-'fore I go. My wife
writes me that she'll send a team for
me to'be here at 2. It's now 1. I've
Just time for dluner."
' "I say. strauger," said one present,
'would you mind let tin- us see what
that was you shot him with?"
"I know what it is," said the inau
who had sought s:rfety under the table.
"It's a buljdog. I seen 'em before.
They're the ugliest -weapon at short
roug'i they Is goin'."
' The stranger took out a short, thick
pistol with a verjr stoeky barrel aud al
lowed the parly to examine it. .
"Was t'other one really a gift for
your wife?" naked one.
"Certainly. When I was called east
l-he asked roc to bring her a revolver
suitable for a woman." -
While the stranger was dining the
body of his victim was being removed.
When his team arrived and he' was
driving away , one of the crowd who
had gathered to'seo him off cried out;
"Much obleeged for gettiu' rid of Scar
Joe. lie was glttin to be a nuisance."
On the identical spot where this
episode happened there is now a hand
some bote!, lighted by electricity and
having all tea modern improvements.

A citizen of tins place, Mr.

'Ie at once proceeded to the spot

Even in tho early days of the
citv there was hiuch dissatisfac
tion over the proposition of the
taxes levied on the property, as
the following, taken from the
lattsniouth papers of forty years
ago, will show:
At a called m-eethisr of the citi
zens of Plattsmouth, held at the
court house on Wednesday even
ing, July il on the subject of
taxation in our city, - Dr. Jno.
Black was called to the chair and
Jno. R. MacMurphy elected sec
retary.
Dr. Black slated the object of
the meeting was lo devise means
to reduce our present rate of
taxation. Mr. Dovey followed
anl endeavored to show that we
wore taxed higher in Plattsinouth
than in New York, where the rale
for one thousand dollars was $29
and here it was $19. He also
mentioned Boston and Nashville
as cities where taxation was less
than here. Spoke of the proposed
grading on Chicago avenue and
claimed that by having it done
now and bonding the city to pav
foi4 it the taxpayer really would
have lo pay about $3,300 more
than if we wailed until the casli
was in the treasury lo pay for the
same. '
D. H. Wheeler was called foi
aud explained why he signed the
call. Claimed that the'excessive
tax kept out capital and capital
ists from coming here ' and in-,
vesting money. Though the pro
posed' bonding for grading was
illegal because the-charier pro
vided that any bonds for over
$2,000 should be submitted to a
vote .of the people, also that no
bonds should be issued for less
than ten years..
Considerable talk took place on
this matter, both parties claim
ing that - they had obtained the
opinion, of good lawyers. Spokes
men for the council claimed the
opinion of Mr. Marquclt in their
favor and that they had the right
to boird .for street purposes to
any extent. . Mr. Wheeler and
others claimed to.- have tlie
opinion .of Mr. Marquclt ad
versely. Following this informal talk a
connnitee on resolutions was ap
pointed. nvIio, after being. out a
short, time reported.
" While the committee on resolu
tions were absent,-Mayor Living
ston was loudly called' for, and
coming forward spoke in sub
stance "as f o lb ws : : Ho wa s
anxious to see the. taxes reduced,
as anxious as anyone, but the
roads must, be iixod " either tem
porarily or permanently. The
council thought . best to
fix them permanently: Went iii
lo thu notions of the former coun
cil, said thev left several wood-
chucks on the hands of the pres
ent councif. and these avenues
were two of them, and if a ma-
jority-of the people' did not want
them fixed, they should not, with
his consent, 'be fixed. , Said the
law in regard to contracts author

tract for grading. Asked, "What

The Hon. Mayor then gave the

time.
