In 1ST? he left his home, and for a num ber of years was emraced in drmmjstase in Towa. He visited home a shore time. and then came to Xebniskn. since which time ne lias maue Lolumous his uome. He was ensured here in drivimr the overland ta-e. Ijefor? tlie railroad was completed. He was always verj- fond of horser,. and the team that didn't shine aaii nourish undor his manipulation was indeed a feeble one and good for little. Miny a story is related of his skill in handling the lines over coach teams. With tlie famous Pawnee scouts, he ilid excellent service as captain under Major Frank North. When W. F Cody Mt-urted his now celehrat-d Wild West Show. MattheWn was selected to drive the mule team at tached to the stage coach which was driven in the areim. and the attack anon which by Indians makes one of tlie most exciting and realistic scenes of the Wild West, and ever since, e-ccept the winter passed in the south, he has b-en with the Wild West, holding the lines firmly and.aafely for hundreds of passengers, among them many royal visitor?, who for amusement and ediiication, coveted a ride in the old coach. Hon. W. F. Cody, in a letter from North Platte, under date of the 'itlth. wrote to a friend: "Yours of yesterday bringing me the sail news of the death of mj oi.l friend. Fred. Matthews, has just, reached me. I cannot express the sorrow that I feel. It seems as though all my old friends are passing away, and that soon I must follow their trail. Tn Columbus alone three of my good friends have passed away. I would certainly at tend Ins funeral, bur am quite ill. not able to lie out.
