TILE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5 , 1883
OUR OWN LITTLE HIGHWAYMAN ,
11Y JCAQUIX MILLKH.
I hail been duly elected to the re
sponsible position of Judge of North *
era Oregon by the people thereof fco-
fore I yi > t had n board. With that
matchless confidence nnd nudacity
which la born of youth nnd fed on van
ity , I hud taken thu oath of oflico nnd
entered upon its duties , nnd , with ono
law book nnd two six shooters , pro-
oeodcd to sternly administer justice , if
not the law.
One eultry t vdlight , oa I sat smokinp ;
a pipe en the stops of my olHco , an old
man camp shullling down thostoop hill
from n little cluster of cabins that
clung to the side of the mountian ,
with its top crowned by n gallows nnd
gruvojard.
The cabin constituting tny oflico nnd
my residence my country residence
and city residence lay at the edge of
the tumble-down old mining town.
This town waa deep down inn canyon.
Indeed , it wns called Canyon City.
You will find it on thomnpof Oregon.
It is now the county sent of Grant
county. Wo who had found this min
ing camp nnd built this dismal inoun
tain town , 200 miles from any other
place , firat named it Orodolphia ; but
ll didn't ' look like Orodolphia. It
looked like Canyon City. The miners
called it Canyon City nnd Canyon
City it is to this day.
Hrown , bold hills , high and barren ,
heaving to the clouds all around us ; n
high , timbered mountain for a back
ground , away to the south and east ,
with the graveyard nnd gallows look
ing squarely down upon us , whence
the Shoshone Indian sometimes shot
arrows at night into our ono populous
street , and wounded , drunken and
howling minors this , in short , is n
charcoal sketch of my scat of justice ,
where the old man who shuttled down
the hill in the twilight found mo sit
ting that sultry evening.
"They stole two horaoa , " began the
bent nnd weary old men , as ho shuf
fled up close , lifted his tattered hat in
his loft hand , and cluched a coiled
rope in his right. "My children ! "
I stood up in an instant lifted my
face to the gallows , nnd then glanced
at the rope in his right hand ; but be
fore I could speak ho put up a hand in
protest and went on.
"No , no ! 1 I don't want 'en
punished. No , no , not like that ,
judge ; but if they'll go back with mo ,
I'll take 'em back , I will , and and
I'll forgive 'em , and and "
The poor old man quitu broke
down. Ho put on his hat and pulled'
it over his eyes , aa ho turned aside.
"They are your children ? "
"Yes. "
"Tho law will have to "
"No , no , no ! I don't want the
law. I want my children. Why in
the world they run away I don't
know. Of course , it was dull for 'em
down in the settlements , nnd then
they hparn of the mines , I s'poso , and
wanted some excitement , so they sacl-
died up and rode 200 miles through
the Injun country , and I after 'em.
And now they won't go back. Why.
- ono of 'em " The old man twisted
" > his hat nnd his rope together in his
f two hands , nnd caught his breath nnd
half stopped as ho spoke here , ns if
there was something behind nil this
? that ho did not care to telf ; but in i
iribment'ho went on. "One of 'em ,
the the girl was to have been mar
ried only last week ; but they took my
hosscs and run .iway. They're up
there now , in that old cabin with thereof
roof half off. They've made a bed out
of the saddle blankets , they've
turned the bosses out on the
hill , and they toll mo they won't go
back. They say they're going to stay
and dig gold. Now , jedge , I want
you for to go and talk to 'em. Got
'em to go back. I'm all nlone. Their
mother died when they were babies ,
and I brought 'em up. I brought/em
up by hend , jodgo. And nnd ,
jodgo , they're not bad. They only
don't want to. stay at homo. They
say they will dig lots of gold and
bring it to me ; that they won't go
back to the settlements no more.
r X Now , jodgo , you come no in the dark
and talk to 'em. Don't lot anybody
see you , for I don't want 'em took.up
for stealin. ' I only want you to tell
'em to go back. "
In a moment more wo were climbing -
ing the hill toward the rootless old
cabin that clung to the hillside , under
the gallows and the graveyard. I
cannot tell to you the pity nnd the
pathos that was in that old man's
voice , as he had stood there in the
twilight , twisting his hat and his rope
together , pleading ior his runaway
children. I know it was not the law
I waa about to try to enforce ; but I
thonghc it was justice , nnd my heart
waa with the old Oregonian. As wo
climbed higher up and out of the can
yon , and stood by the door , wo were
quite away from the noise of the
town. All wits aa still as if wo had
stood at the door of one of the ever
lasting homes on the hilltop.
The door had long ainco disappeared
from the deserted old cabin. I lis
tened. Not a sound. I stopped
across the sill.
Click , ciick !
Two black bushy headsnhot up from
under a pile of blankets in a dark cor
ner , two whitu little hands shot out ,
and two bull-doii DarringeM looked u
in the face , as if about to hark.
Wo'wont outside. Perhaps it was
cooler there ; for , as bi'foro observed ,
it was a sultry evening ,
I do not know why , but T began to
suspect this whimpering old man of
some sort of falsehood and trickery
the moment I K\W these two resolute
heads shoot up in the dark corner of
that deserted old cabin. Then the
pistols ! "If these are your children , "
I said , with a spice of resolution , as
wo reached a cool spot , about fifty
yards distant , "if these are your chil
dren , they are not worth your tears or
your trouble. You had bettor take
your horse * and leturn homo. When
they got hungry they perhaps will not
bo so ready to draw Derringera on
their father. And if tliuy are not
your children , I don't see what better
you can do than to let them alone. I
think we'd butter lot them sloop. "
The old man was looking up under
the shadow of the gallowd as 1 spoke ,
an if trying to make out the horses
that were gracing amonjr thu grave *
there in the d.irlcm's.s , Ifu took u few
titops in that direction , an if to make
certain of his object , and then re
turned , Then ho melted away in the
darkness , and 1 eaw him no more.
I waited patiently. To bu sand
wiched in but.veen n graveyard and
two vicious characters , with bulldog
derringcm in hand , and have to wait
tliero for the return of a sort of An
cient Mariner , whom you begin to
half suspect haa only just left ono of
the graves , "for this occasion only , "
is not pleasant.
Pretty noon I started1 nnd I got
down thu hill and into the heart of
that town , after 1 did start , with n
haste hardly consistent with judicial
dignity.
The next day there wns a sensation
in camp. A pretty woman had come
to townl The arrival of a pretty
woman in any part of this earth that
I have yet risited is nn event that
loosens every tongue ; but the arrival
of n pretty woman in a rtulo , wild
mining camp , hundreds of miles aw v
in the wilderness--why , it almost took
men's breath awny.
She had come in the night , men
said. Come with her lover a beardless -
loss fellow , a mure boy. They had
been discovered walking down the one
street that morning , looking curi
ously nt the mines , minors , nnd all
the strange sights of the half savage
camp.
camp.Was it n love affair ? Men grow
bold with curiosity as the day wore
by , and the two still wandered about
the town or around thu placer mines
in the canyon.
She wns very beautiful. A bit stout ,
but rosy with youth nnd health.
They were both shy at first the
lover particularly so. And , indeed ,
when a half drunken miner made bold
to speak to them , thu man , or rather
the boy , shrunk back , blushing nnd
embarrassed , while the woman , or
girl , was left to do th talking.
Who were they ? Where did they
come from ? Was it n runaway match ?
Would he keep her long ? Could that
beardless boy keep that ono beautiful
woman all his own in this town full of
tall and brawny men ?
Tneso were only a few of the many
questions men put to each other , as
the two still wandered up and down
the camp , looking curiously at all
men nnd all things they met.
Toward night they wont to the
butcher's and bought some meat.
They next visited the German baker.
Then , aa the sun wont down and lift
ed the gallows to nwful prominence
on the high brown hill , over the
graveyard , the beautiful lady , with
her weak and boyish lover , disappear
ed from our savsge little town. It was
ns if the sun and the moon nnd the
stars had set forever on Canyon City.
Men took their pipes , however , as
was their custom , nnd sat on their
doorstops and smoked in the twilight ;
while the bat whirled by , and coyote
called across the canyon to his shaggy
mate prowling around the graveyard
and the gallows.
Suddenly looking up in that dieec-
tion , I a.iw that the half roofless cabin
had taken on n few fresh shingles , and
that a smoke was curling lazily up
from out the ugly , tumble-down old
chimney.
It all came to my mind like a Hash.
The pretty lady and her boy lover
were the two little desperadoes I had
encountered only the night before in
that same old cabin.
I was more curious now than ever :
but I kept my own counsel. Later in
the evening I went around to the ox-
presi oflico and waited for the arrival
of the stage. From the driver I
learned that fifty miles away an old
man had been seen tiding furiously
for the settlements and driving two
horses before him.
Curious to know who ho wns , I
climbed onto the box with the dusty
driver , after he had emptied his stage
6f mail bags and passengers ; and ,
when ho had turned his load
ers with a long , lazy swing
nnd was drawing up at the stable , I
began to pump this traditionally dig
nified and silent master of the road.
"It was Cnttonden , " laconically an
swercd the driver , as he drew up at
the stable and throw the reins to his
hostler.
"What ! Not old Crittenden that
killed- "
"Tho Crittcndon that killed his
man last year , and the year before ,
and is going to kill another this year.
You see , there's a feller been .vfoolin' '
with iv gal of his. Hun away with her ,
or somethin' worse. Whoa ! Charley.
Yes , I will take n cigar. Well , good
night , judge. "
The boldest men nnd the bloodiest
men , too , in all the settlements were
these Crittendens. A proud old south
ern family. Poor ns could bo , but so
proud ! Of course they were hated ,
and were feared , too , by the whole
country.
No man over struck hands in friend
ship with this haul and unhappy fam
ily. They were half outlaws , nnd
yet no man could lay nny real dishon
orable deed at their door , BUY * that of
their dreadful ready use with deadly
weapons. Even the women were
feared in the settlements , I remem
ber. And now ono of thorn was sto
Ion or gene astray.
And to think that this dreaded
head of this clannish and most dread
ed family had plead with mo for his
children only a few hours before.
"His children , indeed ! It was the
old man's daughter that had been
stolen ; not hii horse , " I said to my
self , tint night , H ] went to bed , nnd
waited to got n good look on the mor
row at the woinon who could BO ad
roitly draw a derringer.
I saw her ; 1 saw her daily ; but she
refused to make friends with any
one. The two kept patching up the
cabfn and it began to look as it they
had come to stay.
They made inquiries about the
mines and seemed anxious to go to
work. Ono day n miner met them
far up in the canyon with pick , pan
and shovel. Nothing remarkable
about that , oxccpt that the woman
carried the heavy pick and shovel and
led the way ; while the man , or rather
the boy , carried only the pan and fol
lowed timidly behind. Hearing this ,
I decided in my judicial mind that it
wiw the old man's boy , not his horses ,
or daughter cither , that had been
stolen.
They were evidently very poor ,
however , and , making little headway
with the pick , they were soon out of
favor with the butcher , and baker. It
began to bo noticed that the omnku
Boinutiines did not rise from I ho brok
en old chimney under thu shadow of
the Hallows , At such times the camp
pretty cltiurly understood that the two
[ overs were supperles * .
A pistol WHS pawned soon. I called
around to the pawnshop frequently
now. I wa& waiting for them to pawn
the pistol. They never did it. And
101 did not call ,
Iy nnd by the beautiful woman
who still seemed to bo growing stout ;
despite their hungory , began to make
bold demands on both butcher nnd
baker. The two made common cause
nnd refused her absolutely. All this'
time the lover , husband , brother , or
whatever ho may have been , kepf
timidly in the background.
The two were evidently desperate ,
hungry , starving. t
There wns a famous , or rather nun
nious , house in the heart of town ,
kept by the Jack of Clubs. The Jack
of Clubs was n short , stout , black
woman , with n bullet head and a foot
like an old-fashioned coffin ; and when
ehe WAS mad , and stood straight up ,
nnd dug her fists in her ribs , and grow
black in the face with rage , she
looked like the Jack of Clubs , and
that is why she wns so called.
Ono day the beautiful woman on
the hill , under the shadow of thu gal
lows , cmno down , walking very fast
nnd alone. She looked neither'to the
right nor to the loft , but walked
straight on down to the house of the
Jack of Clubs , knocked , entered , shut
the door behind her nnd disappeared ,
The town was appalled. It stood or
its feet in silent consternation. It re
fused to sit down while she remained
inside that house.
Cid Berry went up to ft drinking
booth in thu open street , and withono
eye fixed on the door of the infamous
house , poured out nnd drank , alonu
nnd in silence , n draught thut would
stagger a sailor. After a while the
beautiful woman came out. She , ns
before , seemed in great haste , and
looking neither to the right nor left ,
but walking very fast , started on uj
through the town , toward the cabin
on the hill. M n leered at her now.
They looked nt each other and winked
and madefaces. .
Cid Berry boldly crossed her path.
Shu did not speak. She refused to
understand that he stood before her ,
but lustily trii'd to pass on around.
Ho caught her by the shoulder nnd
spun her about. Then , for the ilrst
tune , her face mot his , and something
else mot his face also ; for her arm
sprang up like a steel spring ; and the
short , ujily barrel of the derringer
glistened in the sun just under his
nose.
nose.That night there wns ft fearfu
storm , and the little brook in the bed
of the canyon began to take to itself
the air and diqnity of a river. How
the rain did come down.
No man sat in his cabin door thai
night. All took refuge in the gam
bling saloons , and oven in places o
loss substantial character ; and the OIK
topic there was the beautiful strangci
on the lull ; her morals and her im
morality : her reckless visit to tin
wretched place ; nnd , also the disconv
fituro of their bold loader , Cid Berry ,
The Jack of Clubs was sought ami
consulted. She wns thoughtful and
mysterious , "What in the world did
the woman want ? Was she starving' '
Who was she , anyhow ? What was
she ? And , above all , who was ho
And what manner of man was he , to
let her come to ? "
' Now , stop right there ! I'll answer
yo no questions. She's a woman. "
"Of course , she's a woman. "
"Yes , she's all woman. That's jus
what's the matter. Now , stop ! No1
a word , for I won't answer. The Jack [
o' Clubs bets the last scad on that ere
card. She's iv woman and n stranger ,
and another stranger is a coming. "
"Another stranger. . Prom Oregon ? '
"No , Cid. "
"From Idaho. "
"No. "
"From from the states ? "
"No , no , Cid Berry. From from , '
the hard work let her hard voice fal
soft and low ; her eyes drooped dowr
timidly for n time ; then , clasping her
hands , she lifted her face , nnd looking
up , said : "From from up there. "
It was so still inside that house that
the rain outside seemed beating like u
hurricane. Cid Berry pushed himself
back from the side of the woman , and ,
without knowing it , took off his hat.
Soifie men went to the window , and
looked out at the rain that came dash
ing down into the town. No man
spoke ; but ono by ono they molted
away , and left Cid Berry standing
there , thinking of the beautiful woman
on the hill and the awful mystery of
her sex. At lost , pulling himself to
gether with great effort , looking down
all the time nnd talking low and em-
harassed to the short woman sitting
there , ho said :
"If gold will make up for it , Jack
Mrs. Jack it gold will make up
for it , Mrs. Jack o'Olub.s , she shall
have the hull mine. I'm going a
prospectin' in the mornin' , and , Jack ,
I won't bo back for half a year. When
my mule's tail disappears over that
hill you'll find the door of my cabin
wide open. Put her in my house.
Put her in , I say ; for it takes n very
big house to hold a very small baby. "
And , with this , the man dashed out
into thu driving storm.
The next morning the storm was
booming. Many a cabin had been
washed away. The miners on the
other side of the stream , under the
graveyard and gallows , wore com
pletely cut oil' till they had thrown
long , quivering logs across the swift ,
seething stream. And it was peril
ous enough to cross ! The water was ,
far below , n boiling , foaming whirl
pool , mad and wild and wicked as thu
wild beasts and wilder men.
How all eyes were lifted to the
cabin now. If that woman should
come down to town now , each man
would hold his hat in his hand while
she passed.
She did not come the next day , nor
the next ( perhaps she dreaded the
crossing ) ; but early on the third day
she was soon to slowly descend toward
the town , Mori stood watching ,
wailing. The foot IOK was hidden in
the depression of the stream , and
when she disappeared in Ihia , men
looked eagerly for her to reappear.
Pretty soon an object was seen
whirled about in a sudden turn of the
stream below. A white hand was
seen to reach out and that was all.
They recovered the lifeless brdy far
below , and it was buried on the hill ,
not far from the old cabin under the
gallows ; but whether by accident or
design who died no one could eny.
Her lover was silent now an before.
Silent ? JIo was uavago.
And how the camp did abhor that
boy now ! The weak , ruthless , nega-
live little wretch , to let such a woman
die ! No one would speak to him now.
No doubt ho was hungry ; no doubt ho
was starving , The camp didn't care ;
the camp , I think , was glad of it.
But pretty BOOH the camp began to
see that a little circle and wall of
stones was being built around the now
urnvo on the hill under the gallows ,
Some men passing that way ono night
found that this work wns being done
by the boy they so heartily despised.
This fact bohfg noised nb'otit , helped
him in the eyes of the camp n bit ;
but still it could never forgive him ,
nnd ho waa left to starve , soul nnd
body , so far as the camp should care.
Singularly enough , in a place so
utterly isolated , where overbody know
everybody , there began to bo frequent
nnd rccklosn highway robberies on the
road leading to John Day's city.
This little clusUr of shanties was only
three miles awny. It has long since
disappeared from thefaceof the earth ;
but still it keeps firm place on the
maps of the country , nnd looks aa big
there now AS it over did.
It Boomed like n sort of joke to
hnvo highwrtv robbora , or , nt len-t , n
highway robber nmongst UH. Men
laughed nt those who got robbed.
Wna it not nil in fun , or had the wily
Shoshonoo Indian tvlopted this plan
to got n little gold dust without dig-
ing it from the enrth ?
One night , ns I stood wntching the
monte game in the naloon , 1 saw n
man , or rather felt a man come up to
my side and look me steadily in the
fnco. I did not move or eeom to no-
tieo this ; but I felt my f.xco grow rod.
Then 1 saw , or rather felt this man
step back and speak in sharp , short ,
whispers to n companion. This com
panion happened to be n friend of
mine , and no soon as thu obtrusive
party wont out I went straight up to
him nnd naked what was the matter.
The man blow n long , curling cloud
of smoke , closed his eyes and chuck
led :
"It's the robber. He was robbed
of his dust last night , nnd he says it
waa n little feller nnd a feller without
a beard. Sabu ? "
"And ho means to hint that I I ,
the judge I'll I'll murder him ! "
"Keep cool , now. You just keup
cool. It's got to bo somebody. . It's
got to be ono of us , ain't it ? Hero wo
nro. Everybody knows everybody.
No strangers up from the settlements
yet. It'll all come out straight You
just keep your shirt on , judges. "
And , chuckling as if it was a great
ioko to bo suspected of highway rob
bery , the man sauntered up to the
table and laid a blue chip on the uco
of diamonds.
Which one of ua was the highway
man ? It is to bo admitted that our
moral status was not high. Many of
us hnd been in piison , including thu
honored judicial head of the camp ,
nnd there is not a bit of doubt that n
great many of ua ought to have had a
similar and even more extended expe
rience. But all that did not settle
the question as to which ono of us
was defying the gloomy old gallows
that looked down upon UH.
The little circle of rocks grow very
slowly around the grave on the hill ,
for the boy waa certainly not strong
now. Still it was to bu seen that ho
kept steadily on at his singular task
a task of sad , desolate love and devo
tion.
tion.After
After a while the boy employed n
teamster to haul him down some ever
greens from the mountains , to plant
on the b.irreiij brown hillside about
the grave , inside the little circlif of
atone.
The teamster , doubtful of his ability
to pay , demanded his hire in hand.
The boy at once gave him a largo nug
get of gold , and , turning away , went
on up the hill to his cabin.
The teamster ran to Cid Berry with
the nugget. Consternation , curses ,
and the laughter. Berry lins been
robbed of this nugget only the night
before. The remaining Derringer
was doing its work.
And do you know wo all suddenly
came to like that little highwaymen
of ours ? Ho wao now even a greater
hero than Cid Berry , who had slain
nn Indian chief. Han him ? He
was a hero now , n sort of Alexander.
Canyon City lad n highway robbur
of her own and such a handsome ,
young and dashing Dick Turpin it
was , too ! All this would make our
town famous in the land. Wo were
particularly proud of our mysterious
and sentimental little robber.
The nugget , however , was not re
turned , though Cid Berry proudly re
fused to prosecute. Pethaps it was
hunger that drove our hero once more
and very soon to the highway , for in
u short time another robbery was at
tempted. This time , unfortunately ,
our hero attacked two men who hud
newly come to the camp , nnd ho waa
shot dead in liin tracks.
1 When these men told what they
had done they were cursed and den-
pised. A party went out in the dark
ness nnd brought the body into town.
It wns laid out on n monte-tablo , and
the camp , now filling up with men
from the HpttlomentH , came "pouring
its people into the saloon to ace the
corpse.
Beautiful , very beautiful was the
faco. The hands were so small nnd
delicate ! Ono of them still held the
ugly little pistol. And when , on ex
amination , it was found not to bo
loaded , the indignation against the
two men was unbounded ,
Suddenly a stranger , who hnd
pushed his way thiough the crowd ,
threw up his two hands and crowd :
"It's Critloiiden ! Yen , it is ! You
know the girl that was betrayed at the
Forks , and they said hnd gone to
'Frisco to hiduJ"
"Knto Crittondon ? "
"yes , Kato Crittondcn. Well , this
hero IB her sister. "
"Brother , you mean. "
"Mo , I in can sister. That murdered
creature there is n girl. See ! "
And springing forward 1ft loosened
the great folds of sable hair from the
shupuly head , till it swept down over
thu gambling table to the floor. The
