TilJU OiMAHA DAILY BEE : SATU11DAY SEPTEMBER 24 , 1881 A DANTZIQER'B REVENGE. In 1852 I was mining noartho licntl of Fall Creek in that county. I had n claim that was paying mo over nn ounce a day , nnd for once in my life , was quito content with my prospects , In July of the year named I took n lot of about eighty ounces of gold dust and wont to Washington , on the South Yuba , into which river it omp tics but a fpw miles above Washing' ton , at which pwn I generally pro cured my provisions and other sup plies. I was walking slowly along in the deep shade of the great forest , with my eyes bent upon the ground nnd thoughts far away in spmo of the old forests I had seen in Germany while serving as n soldier , when there came n slmrp , quick cry , "Halt ! " Instinctively I halted , hardly real- . im > g thnt I was not still a soldiui obeying the command of a superioi ofllcer. But it was only for nn incom putable fraction of time , for on the instant a masked man , armed with a double-batrolcd shotgun , stepped out from behind a largo sugar pine , and about ten fuct from where I had halt ed. "IIold up your hands ! " cried the masked man , and the shotgun was leveled nt my head. I held up my hands. The follow then seemed not to ] know what to "do next. Ho stood some seconds without speaking , as ifj considering how tt > proceed. "Tako oil'your belt. " "How can I tnko ofl'my bolt if ] am to hold up my hands ? " said I. The man seemed nonplussed , nutl again hesitated. "You have no pistol ? " said he. "That is my business. " Again the man hesitated and sur veyed mo. 80011117 no pistol-belt out side of my clothing , ho appeared to be reassured , and said : "You can put down your hands and take off the belt you have about your waist that dust is what I want. Be quick about it ! " And again the gun was leveled. I took my own time , nevertheless , and as long time as possible , closely watching the robber , who several times for an instant glanced nervous ly up and down the road. I also ob served that his hands trembled. I could plainly sco that ho was really more frightened than I was. Having passed through many battles and dan pcra of all kinds , I did not feel at all alarmed afrny situation. In a mo mcnt I understood the whole busi-l ness. I knew that the man only wanted to got my dust , and did not * ant to kill mo. If ho had not fear ed committing murder ho would have ] shot mo down without speaking- would have taken no chances with me. me.Whilo slowly taking off my pouch ] of gold dust , my mind was not inac tive. I saw that the rober > was n trembling fellow , not at all fit for the ] business a man that I could hav tv- cowed and _ commanded in almost anj situation had wo been placed on anj equal footing. When the belt was off , the high- ] waymnn said. "Lay it down and be off. " ' tv'S I laid it down and turned though to go away , but as the fellow picked up my dust I faced about and ' said : 'S "Do yo\i \ know who I am who you are playing this trick upon ? " "No ; nor do I want to know. Go away ! " said the man. "Did you over hear of Big George , of Siskiyou , the stage robber ? " said I , moying toward him. ' Ho made no reply , but stood trem bling and evidently quito bewildered. "Poor devil , how nervous you are ! " exclaimed I. "Why , I am quite ] ashamed of you for a man in you line of business. There's not a bit of ] style about you. " I was now quite close upon him , nnd suddenly said : "Hand hie that gun you trembling ] ass , and I'll show you how to do things in a way that will make you aj credit to the profession. " Tlio command came so unexpected ly that I had the gun in my hands be fore the man knew what ho was about. "Drop that bolt ! " cried I , leveling ] the gun at his head. Ho lot it fall to the ground. "Tako off that mask ! " The man hesitated a moment , and ] then took off his mask a piece o black muslin , with holes for the eye , when I saw before mo a man about 30 years of ago , pale as a ghost , and ] by no means desperate looking. "What is your name ? " The man hesitated , "What is your name1 and I raised both the gun and my voice. "Gcorgo Robinson , " came hcsitat-j ingly from his lips. "I did not ask you to lie. Toil me ] your true name , or it will bo the worse for you. " "If you must have it , Thomas Berry ry is my trup name , but I don't sec ] why you should carp to know it , Bir. " | "That is my business sir. 1 shall lot you carry that dust for the time ; the gun is enough for mo. As for your name , it matters little whotheil or not you have told mo the truth , as ! I am going to take you to where you ] ) are no doubt well known , for now I [ shall march you straight to Nevada City. " "To Nevada City ! " cried the man , stopping short , and beginning to ] quake from head to foot. "Why , ain't you Big George , the stage robber : bor ? " "Never heard of such a man in all my life. " said I. "I am Carl Wal dow , of Fall Creek and not nslmmcd of my name. I'll take you to Nevada or blow the top of your head off. Doyen yon understand that ? " "For the love of God , spare mo ! ' cried the man , whom I shall hereaf ter call Rood , which is not his true name , but is a name given in the place of the name ho gave mo , and which 1 soon ascertained to bo his true namo. "Spare mo this time and will honestly toll you all. " \I "Talk fast , then , " said I. "I have a young wife and a child a little boy and a ranch that I am about to lose. It is mortgaged and will bo taken from mo in five days if I dqn't raise 82,000. On account of my wife and child I made this dcsppr- ate attempt to save myself from ruiii , : I was in Washington last night , where I tried in vain to raise the mon oy. Islopl in the next room to you , and through the chinks in the partition saw youi bolt of gold. I had heard you say you were going to Nevada early in the i"-- ' " " . Tt viq nUo mv iwl. nnd Iho devil put it into my head to gel your gold without harming you. ] had determined to do you no harm.1' "Istlmtnll ? " "That is nil , and the whole truth , so help mo God. Now , for ( ho love of heaven , lot mo go , and I'll ' novoi again do a wrong net to any human bcins. " "MnrchI" commanded I. "God help mo ! " cried ho , "will you ruin mo and bring diagraco on my family by taking mo to Nevada to the jail ? " "I did not say 'March to Nevada1 ; [ only said 'march ! ' and I say again , march ! Wo march , not to Nevada , but to your tanch , if you have ono. " "Good Godl You do not mean to take mo there and disgrace mo in the eyes of my wifo. She is one of the best women in the world , and it wouldkill her. " I will know the truth of this whole business , " said I , "I am in no liurry to go to Nevada City. I will lake my lime nnd find out all. If you liavo , as you say a wife at id child , 1 shall do you no harm will causa your wife no pain. Again 1 say march ! " "I mndo llccd shoulder "my dust and match some ten feet in advance. [ told him to tnko n straight course through the woods , as I wanted to ace no ono , nt > r was ho anxious to meet any of his acquaintances , "We turned to the right from the road nnd marched in a ooutherlj course. It was a lon way through the forest , and nothing worthy of note occurred while passing through ] it. Little was said by cither Reed or myself. Reed tried to talk to me about his wife and child once or twice and to beg mo to be careful in what 3 should say before his wife , but 1 sternly ordered him to shut his mouth. "I " said I "ant3 am thinking , , | that is enough ; I am thinking of ] everything and shall do what I think aright. " Wo passed through the pine forosi and down into the foothills among ] proves of liyo oak and auionc man/.a nitn thickets. "Is it yet far ? " said I-after wel lad been some time among the low ! hills. ' "But n mile or so , ' said Reed. At last wo reached the summit of ittlo ridge , ho pointed to a cottage in ] i field half a mile away and ' said : "There is my homo. " . "Good , " said I. "Now sit down ] ind compose your self , for you are ] lot to appear at all agitated. Wo gc now to sco your wife and little boy. " ilccd began to weep. " " "This is rough , " said he. "Ijis , " said I , "but there is no ] iclp for it. I will take the belt and out it on. Leave where you are and iiovo twenty feet further down the ] ' lill ; then sit down and dry your eyes , or the sun is not halt an hour high , ' ' and wo must soon go to you'r house. " | Reed did as directed , and when the ] belt was in place and I had given him time to compose his features , I order ed him to get up and move on. "My wife will think it strange to ' sco you carrying my gun. Will you trust mo with it ? " "I havoboughtyourgun , you know. When I leave your homo I shall car ry it away with me. " Reed said no more. As wo dron near the house I told Reed to fal back by my side. "Now" said I " atteiitiofl , pay , J ] am an old friend of yours , a man you knew many years ago in where a you from ? " "Near Cold Water , Michigan. " "Very well ; I am from Cold Water , 'Michigan ; you knew mo there. I [ have come homo with you to see your ' place , and your wife and your boy.B Now go on , I am your old friend , Mr.P' Waldow ; remember the name Wal dow. " "So wo went into the houso. Reed's ] wife met us at the door. I was intro duced as Mr. Wtildow , and at once began gan to piny the part of an old acquain tance. Mrs Reed was s woman about 28 years of ago and quite handsome. She spoke with a slight accent that , caused mo to ask if who were not ofj Gorman parentage. She was.She ] told mo the name of herfathcr Jaco' Schroeder. "J acob Schroeder ! " cried 1. From nhat place in Germany ? " "From Dantzig , " said she. \ "From Dantrig ! " cried I. "Good ! . I also am from Dantzig. It is myJK , native town , and I know your fathorli [ well , " which is truth I did. My heart went out toward her , [ said to myself as I looked at her lionest face "Daughter of Jacob ] Schrocder , you are married to a weak , bad man , and n robber , but I will do you all the good I can. As for Rccd , ho said nothing , sat looking quito stupefied. Even ! : ivlieii his wife said , "Is it not wonder-sip iul , Thomns , that Mr Waldow shouldHli inow my father ho who is also anwj ] aid acquaintance of yours ? " Hecdjrt : rnuttored something about thcro be-H\i Ing strange meetings in California. jjjj I paid no attention to Reed's dis-j IrcsH , but wont on and told his wife nany things that > I remembered about icr fathorand her uncles , of not a ftnvn ? ; f whom she had heard her fntherffl" ipeak , for her mother was also Jantzig woman. I was soon on good terms with I joy , sung little songs to him , and in-Bp Iced made myself so much nt homcB. , ind the friend of the family thatRcedJ1 ast at me stolen glances of astonish' ' nont. IIo soonied to bo saying tc limaolf , "Is this the man I tried toB" ob a few hours ago , but who captur-3'1 ' id rno nnd marched mo to my own louse , a culprit and his prisoner ? " 3ut I gave hoed only to bcconio moro . narry and talkative than ever with ho boy and his mother , Also with Iced I talked about his ranch and old him wo would take a look over ho whole place in the morning. As soon as I found that ho had act- tally conducted mo to his homo , and nice I had scon his wife and child , 1 tad no fear. I know it was safe that Iced would do no murder there had to n score of guns and pistols. After I was shown to my room forfl ho night I took off niy bolt and car-l ied it to the room I had loft , and ! oiling Mrs Hood what it contained skod her if she had a safe place to eep it till morning. She begged mo to keep it in my wn room , there was no knowing rhnt might happen , and she did not iko to take any responsiblity. Hood looked astounded. Ho also egged me to take the gold to my win , and said : "Tnko the gun to s your room -tako cAroof the gold your self. " "Tho gun ? " said T. "You think , then , thoromny b < > danger of rubbers ? "Oh. no 1 tlon't know ! Take awny the gold. 1 will take no chance * with it. Seeing n wood-box in the corner of the room , 1 throw the bolt into it nnd laid over it two or throu sticks of ivooil , saying : "Thoro is a better nnd safer place for it than in my bod-room , " ami turning about I left the couple , Mrs. Rood gazing after mo in astonishment , The next morning Mrs. Heed hand- d mo , my gold Kecnl did not scorn to want to touch it. 1 had given him dose of it , by letting him sleep in the sixmo room with it. I told her to stow it nwtvy somuwhero , ns Uued nnd [ wore going to look about the ranch little before break fast. T marched llccd off nnd wo looked ibout the place. I saw thnt ho had excellent land ! )00 ) acres of it in all. but that it was pooily cultivated , Signs of filiifllossiicsspro HOOII in every direction. The fences woionot what thuy should have boon , the ! i > arn was dilapidated , the nn wcro Icon and hungry-looking , and L soon \vivi sntisticd that llcod did lot much relish hard work. His house was n laujo nnpaintod stiucturo that stood in an open field , with not n trci > [ | or n shrub about it. Of his 300 ncrcsa of land , ho prctandcd only to cultivate vato eighty , llo said ho lacked wa ter to irrigate more. As wo wcro returning to brcakfasit , [ after this inspection of tlio premises t said to llccd , "Toll your wife thai ivo are going to Nevada City , nftcr breakfast. " "To Nevada City ! " cried ho , turn ing palo and quaking with alarm. "You don't intend to deliver mo up1' "Calm your self. " said I ; " 1 have business there and shall do you no harm. Toll your wife that wo shall bo back to-night , nnd also tell her that I shall bo yourguost for several days. "I shall do as you say , " was Heed's reply , but ho did not look very com1 fortablo. " 1 presume I shall bo quito wel come in your house for a week or so ? " said I. "Yo-o-s oh , certainly ! " said Herd quite welcome. I ani rcaly under jroat obligations to you. You have saved mo from doing u great wrong. [ shall always " "Novor mind : you have said enough. [ think wo are beginning to under < stand each other that is , to some cx > lent. Wo have not been acquainted eng , you know. " After breakfast llccd harnessed hie ; eam and wo left for Nevada City , ! ieed's boy hfitlo Jacob calling ifter us , "Papa , brine mo something from town. " Ho ivas a bright little follow , about 'o years old. On reaching Nevada City I told Reed to drive directly to the Court House. He turned pale. J'ltis all right , " said I. "Wo are 'going to see about the mortgngd it is , of course , on record ? " "Oh , yes ! of course , " said Eecd , looking roliovcd. Wo found it all straight. I soId my dust , drew some gold that I had deposited at the bank in town , and then wont with llccd and h : > d th mortgage released. I then asked lu'in if ho did not wish to take homo som provisions or dry goods. He said h ? kvou'd like to take homo some prbvia- ions , but ho didn't like to go up the store after them , as ho owed quit a bill over § 100 , ho thought. I gayo him $250 and tuld him to 'pay off the old score and got what ht Wanted ' bcsido. "Also , " said I , "go to a dry g store and get your wife a dross and some such things as you know her to ncoa , nnd something for little Jacob.'m ' But how am I over to pay you all this money ? " stammered llcod. "You nro presently to give your note for the wliolo. " 'But how shall I ever pay'th ? " ! ! "Never mind about that ; that willK' ' bo all light. I shall sec that you -you will work it out. " "Woik it out ! " < 'Yes , right at homo on your ownH farm. You nro going to workflow to work for mo and yourself , and youi \vifo and your boy. I could have senlj you to state prison , but I can makcffl' better use of you do bettor by you.BI1 shall work you on your own farmHl , I instead of letting you work in SatilL Quonstin. You will have all maunor sf homo comforts , and will bo making inonoy for yourself and wife and moro money than you over madc in your lifo before. I am not leing right , I know , I am conipound- ing a felony , so to speak , for tlio cuircs [ mo to send you to BtateB-1 orison. I choose to disobey the liuvH' ' lowoyor ; take the law into my muds , and I'll make n better job of ho business before I got through rvith it than the la > v would bo able lo. " ) Reed looked utterly astounded. : "Bo off with you now and got oods you rcquiio ; you will find mo vith tbo team nt the stable , " said 1. Heed marched away , did as I told ( ind presently came to mo at then liable , when ho drove round to thclf itora and took in his purchases. As food's guoat , T purchased some little , iresent for Jacob and Mrs. Reed. ma On the way homo I gave Reed in-jfl0 tractions. IIo was to toll his wife hat I had paid oil' the mortgage , paid ns store debts , and intended to not lim upon his feet and give him a good tart to make money , giving him .hnost his own time in which to pay ho note ho would give mo when nil ros arranged , and this I was doing on ccount of our old friendship in Mich- All this ho carried out to the lot- or , and Mrs. Heed ahcd tears of ralittido when she tried to thank mo. I remained five days at Reed's ancli thoroughly studying it. During n ho time I wont to Nevada City and a irow more inonoy ; also took out to 10 ho ranch as assistant to Heed a' ' ' ountrymanot mine from Deer Crock , ! man named Kempt. I told this tan that Hood was an old friend of nine to whom I had lent a consider- bio amount of money in order to give iim a fresh start in the world ; that Iced was a good enough follow , but little inclined tobo , lazy and shift- 3ss , therefore , I wished him to push iin in the work on the ranch , as I esircd to get my money back as soon possible , I also told Reed that any soldiering on his part would bo re ported to mo. I found and took up n water right , through which suflicient water could be obtained to irrigate the whole rnncho ; had surveys made , nnd nt once lot a contract for digging the ditch , which wns but two miles long. t bought nn additional team , ami lumber for fencing ICO ncres of land ; ilso for putting private fences nboul the house nnd Darn , nnd gave orders for fruit nnd olindo trees to bo planted , All this I did through my robber , Reed. I then returned to my mini' it Fall Creek , telling the llcods 1 should return in six weeks. At the appointed time I was again it the ranch , and found that all wn * ? oing on well. The ditch was com- ileted , the house and barn had been fenced , nlso thnt the greater part of : ho fence about the ,100 ncies had .iceii put up , nnd the old fences , mnde is good ns now. I bought ten cows , 100 shoop.caused f well to bo dug , walled up and housed * in , before they lind been using water | from a ditch , hired another man , amis ? U stout girl to assist Mis. Reed , loft \ [ orders for an addition to bo built to [ the house , nnd the whole house to bo < ? well paintedthcnrotnrnod to my mi no. I say 1 did tllcsu things , and sol did , but no one know it , ns it was all done } } through Heed. When the winter came , and the mines were buried in snow , I wont | down to my robbor's ranch mid went to work there with a will. Mrs.'llecd id not think it strange , as she her husband owed mo a largo sum money , which was to be made outjj of the ranch ; bt'aides , I charged rog ulnr wages -which was but right , Slit loulct not but know that her luuband ivas rather indolent , and doubtless ] suspected why I desired to remain on the ranch and see that the work was pushed. Wo plowed ami planted the whole quarter section of land , besides doing a vast deal of other work , marketing and the like. Tlio ranch did not look like the same place. Tlio next year all the ground was fenced and brought under cultivation. Fifty head of cows had been purchas ed and 2,000 head of sheep , with man ) swine and fowls of all kinds. Chinese were put to gardening , and two herd ers , ono to a tcnd to tlio sheep out in the hills and mountains , and the other to look after the cows and to milk and make butter and cheese fo the market When the Chinamen were not busy at gardening , they were ni.ido to work about the house , orchard and grounds. Thus all was ] mt in shape , and my robber was made to become a very industrious ] [ nan. I frequently visited the ranch , and ] lie next year began to got back mj nonoy. Mrs. Reed wns a very happy woman It was her nature to dqsiro to get along in the woild nnd make inonoy , and all wns noyir going to hoi satisfaction. Her parents lived but five miles away. I frequently visited them , and they were often nt Rood's. I began to have a good opinion of my robber , as ho was now industrious , and was in many respects a fair sort of man. Now that ho had got a start in the right direction , ho seemed ] anxious to go ahead. Ho began to feel a pride in his ranch and all its ] belongings , and took great interest in everything. I had not found it ncccs-j sary to keep Kempt over him after the first year. f All was going so well that in anoth er year Rued would have been able to ] pay up every cent ho owed me , when 111 accident happened to him. While ] going homo from -Nevada City out aay , his team ran away , throwing him ] put of his wagon against a tree crush ing in his skill and instantly killing ] him. I was in Fall Creek when 1 heard my robber was dead. I at once ] went down to the ranch and I'mar- ' ] ried , the widow not right away , you must understand , for , she thought a1 great deal of Reed ; I comforted her ] and took care of' thiitgs on the place till a propnr time had cxpitcd. Now you know how I mot my rob ber and how 1 got my revenge. To this day Mrs. Waldow docs not know ] when or how I first became acquaint' ' with her first husband. She still thinks it was at Cold Water , Michi gan Instead of 300 acres of land in Nevada county , I have 3000 in Qro Jacob is a fine young fellow , and Ij think as much of him as though he ? ivoro my own son , although I boliovcB ( am somowlmt fonder of my ownl I boys. Perhaps it is because I thinlcl they have a bettor father than the man that Jacob called by thnt namo.jj Jacob has 010 acres of as guod land ana 3an bo found in Oregon , and it ia wolll improved and stocked. I have doiu-jf til for him that I would have done hadt lie been my own son , and in that I have ! tgain had my revenge and carried out ! iho law according to my own notions , ! "Tbo Commodore. " JOB.
