Ably "tin oiher man" ia; Nebraska would

a stupenduous fraud was committed; in
what. was styled the northern precinct of

never would have made a charge in this

been known chieuy as a desperado and
robber. One of his first operations was
at Kansas 'City, ' where he broke into
Northrop and Go's Bank and robbed it of
3,000, A similar attempt.. made. after-
nvardsat-Atchison-was a failure."
During all these months he -has led a
wildstrange life. He seems to .tare
made his principal headquarters at Atch

constantly looking for him, and have twice
nearly-captured him, but audacity, brava

preserves "till bow. . .. '
His band hs never been large, and he
often traveled alone. His "skill in dis
gaising his appearance anc1 voice were so
great that even to those who knew; him
well he seemed each day a different man.
And this,' too, although he was more than

straight: as an arrow." .Some persons,
blessed with more imagination than brains
believe he; led a-charmed life. ..They
called him the . ''Phantom Horseman of
the Prairie,", and told strange sreries
of his prowess and,. good fortune.. How
many men he had killed, how; many hor
ses he had stolen, .how many houses he
had plundered, no one " can tell.
c There are hundreds of persons all
through the State who sincerely believed
that he was an' honorable man; that he
was actuated by pure motives; that his
courage was genuine, and that he never
molested Union - men until . Union men
began to hunt him down.'; ';
; It is probabjy true that thewar, which,
to a, people .accustomed- to peace, has
brought forth such new, and. astounding
