Well , no-I cnu't tell where he lives ,
Because he don't live , vou dec ;
Lengtwnys he' < got out of tlia habit
Of livlu' like you and me ,
\Vhar have you been for the last three
years
That you haven't hc.it d talks tell
How Jimmy Uhulso Dasscd in his checks
'iho nlsht of the "L'ralrle Belle1
Ho wnrn't no saint them engineers
Is all pretty much olikc
One wife In Natchez under the hill
Atid another one up in 1'ikc.
A careless man In his talK was Jim ,
And an awkward man in n row
lint he never pinked , and ho never lied ,
I reckon he never line wed how.
And this w/n / all the religion he had
To treat his engine wel < ;
Never bo passed on the river ;
To mind the '
pilot's belt ; v
And if over the " 1'rairio Hollo" took fire ,
A thousand times he nworo
Ho'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till tne lost soul cot ashore.
All boats hnvc their dayon the Miseiisi ) ) ' ,
And her day came at last
The "Movfastor" waa : vbetter boat ,
13ut the " 15 lle"nli3 wouldn't bepaRsed ,
And so came tearing nlonir that night ,
The oldest craft on the line ,
WItn n nlgg-r squat on her safety valve ,
Her turmtced crammed with pine.
The lira burst out as she cleared the bar
And burnt a hole in the night ,
Ami quick us n flash she turned and made
For that willow " -ank on the right.
There waa runnia * and cucsin' , but Jim
j tilled out ,
Over all the infernal roar.
"I'll hold her nozzle ngin the bank
Till th ; last galoot/H ashore. "
Thro' the hot , black breath of the burnin'
boat
Jim Uludso's voice was heard ,
And they all had faith in his cussedness ,
And kno'd he'd keep his word ,
And sure's your born they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell ,
And liluja-j'u ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the "Prairie Belle. "
[ I > warn't no saint hut at judgment
I'd take my chances with Jim
Longafdo aome pious gentlemen
That wouldn't : shooic nands with him.
Ele'd seen his duty , n dead fcuro thing ,
And went for it thar and then ;
Vncl Christ ain't ageing to ba too hard
On a man tint died for men.
"GRIZZLY JIM. "
an Francisco Morning Call.
High up in the mountains of Tuo-
Dmne , on the South Fork of the
itanialaus Hirer , amid scenes as wild
nd ruggcdand ( grand as the High-
inds of old Scotia , lived , in the early
ays of California , a hunter named
im Lyons , who was known far and
oar aa "Grizzly Jim. " Lyons was a
atiyo of Pennsylvania , a man of
ledium height and powerful frame ,
ith keen gray eyes , overhanging
rows , and bold , resolute , massive fea-
jres. The rough , Btrangely-marked
ice , so cold in danger and'terrible in
asaion , was ordinarily pleasant and
unial in its expression. It would ba
ard to find a manlier-looking man * ,
'
r.on'o of a more determined character ,
yens had a ranch about twenty-five
dies above the beautiful little mining
> wn of Columbia , but found hunting
luch more congenial to his nature
ian farming. Day and niqht , winter
id summer , ho followed his favorite
urauit. Armed with his trusty rifle
hugo hunting knife , and with no
: her companions than hia dogs , Lyons
ivcd above all things to track the
rizzly tn his lair and fight him to the
jath. Not one , big or little , old or atat
jung , was over known to have es- at
iped him when once oncoun- inw
rcd , although ho bore on his w
irson moro than one uily mark looi
his fierce struggles with the oiL
vago beasts. The man was a siugu- L ;
r compound of good and evil. Time toai
id again had hu risked his life to aibe
vo others , and in hours of suffering be
id danger exhibited a generous and th
iroic spirit. Yet , notwithstanding la
ia , the name of Jim Lyons grow to CO
a terror in the mountains. Mya- or
rious murders in the vicinity of his bi
nch were attributed to him , and ho in
is arrested so often that he used to tic
v : "It looks as if there can't bo a Wl
tn murdered in the mountains with- go
t Jim Lyons is arrested right off. " islL :
i a rule he made light of such ac- L ]
sations , and had no difficulty in Diwl
tting riri of them. The suspicions , it wl
is remarked , uniformly took the same fie
ipp. the deceased hadin some man- dii
r crossed Lyons' path , At ono time it tn
.s a Frenchman , a partner of Jim's , dii
icy were known to have quarreled , wt
d the Frenchman was found dead tin
th a bullet in his brain. Again , it tin
s a rival hunter who had spoken ha
iparaging of Lyons , No human BUI
3 other than that of the slayer had
Incased his tragic death , and yet fri
; ro was but ono opinion in ropard vifc
it among the mountaineers. This lib
a the bad side of Lyons' reputation. am
0 bettor character came in from gu ;
me who had seen him share his last BtO >
k of flour in the dead of winter Jll
h a destitute family , and witnessed
manly grief when a distracted
ithor bogged him , for God's sake , '
go out in the storm and darkness no'
search of a lost child , whom ho mil
to
cued from certain death after an toBit
Bit
ful night of peril and hardship , In the
nature were blended vindictive
1 revengeful passions , and warm , the Wl
lerous , noble sympathies. Dow
: co and terrible the battle within poi
fro
breast when his angel
own , good tin
1 evil genius strugclod for the mas-
aar
y , who can toll ? Under some cir-
ustances and certain conditions of ant
fin
ho would have been a bravo ,

nity , Under olhera , a murderer

THE NKW DITCH ENTKIll'HIHE. nol
h the spring of 1855 the troubles lee
ween the minors and owners of the lea
water company , which had been an <
nc [ on for several years , owint ; to anwa
hic > h and exorbitant rates charged tnu
the company , and which gave rise pai
naaa meetings , big procesaiona , and imi
rmy proceedings , culminated in the off
crini tint ion of the people to form vjv
n water company of their own nnd
build n ditch tor themselves. Among
the moat enthusiastic m this gigantic
enterprise , for such it really wns , nil
things considered , was the Into James
W. CoffroUi , who personally went into
the mountains ana worked with pick
nnd shovel like "nn honest minor. "
Much ol his subsequent popularity
was duo to hia tnauly action , iu this
practical strike against the exactions
of the monopoly Ono of the great-
cst difficulties in carrying out this en
terprise was to proviuo food for the
hundreds of men engaged in the
work at different points high up in
the mountains , When hard pressed ,
and suffering for the necessaries of
life , "Grizzly Jim" came to the res-
cue. Early and latoho wasroaininglho
tooda with his dogs , and supplying
camp after camp witlt grizzlicrs , deer ,
nnd well nigh every kind of meat to
bo found in that region. His success
la this respect was wonderful , nnd
won for him the gratitude nnd admira-
i'on of nil concerned. While thus
ngagod , on ono occasion , Jim came
ecross a couple of minors who had left
camp to do n little hunting for them *
selves , nnd go into close quarters in
consequence. They had stirred up n
trizaly of enormous size and unusual
iirocity , nud nftor firing at him cot
[ lomorulizcd nnd turned to run. The
grizzly , slightly wounded by the nhoto
and made furious by the attack , pur-
mcd the unlucky hunters at a rapid
jait , nnd was rapidly closing upon ono
jf them , when Lyons came upon the
scene , attracted by the outcries ofjtho
terriflod minor. The latter was mak
ing for a tree a short distance off * , but
although running for life , was ready
to fall at any moment with fright nnd
exhaustion. With n yell to his dogs
which made the old wood * echo and
caused the grizzly to stop nnd turn fern
n moment , Jim throw himself in the
path of the bear end covered the
niinor's retreat. The infuriated brute ,
robbed of its prey , savagely rushed on
Lyons , despite the efforts of the dogs ,
and even the sharp crack of the
hunter's unerring rifle failed to bring
him to * ho nrth. Quick ns a Hash the
man nnd grizzly grappled in n death
struggle , Lyons using his ponderous
hunting knife , and the faithful dogs
hanging on to the monster like grim
death , Both wont down nttho sudden
onset , nnd for a few seconds rolled
togethor'on the ground Then Lyons ,
with n herculean effort , shook off" his
hugo antagonist , but fell beside him ,
moro dead than alive , nud literally c
covered with blood from his own t
wounds nnd those ho had given the 1
grizzly. The minors now , in turn , i
came to Jim's assistance nnd put the ]
finishing touches on the common enemy - \
my , winch was found to have boon
shot twice and ripped open with seven t
horrible knife wounds. The vitality i
} f the brute was something wonderful , ]
Hid even "Grizzly Jim" had to own '
jplhat thia was "a pretty close call. "
With the exception of an ugly gash in
ho shoulder and n scrape across the n
oins , which took clothes and hide o
ilong with it , the hunter's injuries fi
roro of a slight nature , and not deem
id by him sufficient to bother a doctor
bout. But for the timely arrival of lc
jyons , there could bo no question of h
ho minor's fate , as ho sank exhausted ti
t the foot of the tree , which waa exy (
oedingly difficult for one to climb unni
or any circumstances.
THE D0TFIEI.D SHOOTINO AFFAIR. Jr
Among the mountain men who
oh feared and hated Jim Lyons was j
I. B. Duffield , late United States
mrshal of Arizania. The cause of
10 feud between them waa not gen-
rally known , but of its existence and
itonsity there could bo no room for
oubt. That blood would flow from
; was a foregone conclusion. The
esporato character of the parties
laced this beyond conjecture. In
kill , courage and determination the
ion were very well matched. Lyons
as moro widely known for hia san-
uinary exploits , but among those who P
new the man Dut field had a r jputa- tt
for calmness nnd skill
pn nerve , , in
ith the pistol second to none. His inb <
ibsequont bloody career in Arizona
th
id tragic death , if proof were want- thp
ig , prcvo this reputation to have boon
oil founded. Finally the long- uf p ! '
eked for affray came off in the streets ufUl
Sonorn , near the old Oity hotel , Ul
yens and n friend of hia were in nt
nt
iwn , drinking freely , when Duffield ntB
rived. In their liquor they grow th ,
nsterous , and recklessly made fit
treats to kill Dufiield on sight. The
th
tttor was not slow to ive thorn the thW
ivoted opportunity , ilia appearance th W (
i the scene was the signal for a brief
thor
it rapid exchange of shot ,
1
or
which all three .
par. da
: ipatod. Duffiold fired with
underfill rapidity and precision , dan- nil
rously wounding both his antagon- th P °
s , and getting off without a scratch ,
ons recovered , and claimed that rai
thin
ufliold had taken advantage of him
in
ion drunk , but public opinion justi- thi
d the latter , and the general ver- dii
ut was : "Served him right ! " Fresh
tin
) ublo was anticipated , as the vin- tin
stive character of "Grizzly Jim"
is too generally known to admit of goi
tin
oughts of reconciliation. Moro
an once , afterward , there would on tin
vo boon ugly work between the
no parties , Lyons always being the inc me
grosser , but for the interference of
ends. Duffield found "eternal , , noon
jilanco" the price of life , if not of | lro
orty from that time forward , Night onUt
d day ho waa constantly on his
ard , and never felt secure until heed
od beneath the scaffold and saw the
n Lyons launched into eternity. yei
THE TJLAKESLEK MUHDKB.
Dno dark and stormy winter'a night , am
wa of a most shocking and horrible km
irder in the mountains was brought cor
Sonora. It appeared that the the i
ikosloo boys , who had a ranch in fri (
) direction of the Lyons place , were col
) subjects of a murderous attack ,
center
itilo seated around the tabla for sup- tor
- , at the close of the day , some one for
m the outoido suddenly fired upon
mi through the window , and at thu His
no instant the door waa burst open
pic
1 entered with
man pistol cocked , neo
ug rcpidly upon the terrified broth- mo
. The latter sought safety in ro-
daj
at through the back door , when J Bu
> y found unothcr man stationed with cou
tel in hand , , but whoso shots did tioi
t take effect. Two of the Blakea-
pai
s made their escape to the woods , jur
ving { ho other mortally wounded the
1 iu a dying condition. Robbery ant
s evidently not the object of the
irderoua sttack , whoever tiio guilty
rties were , for they loft the place
mediately alter it , without carrying am'
anything. The wounded man sur- pea
ed loag enough to give an account the
of the affair , nnd created n sensation
by positively nfllrminc ; that the man
who first entered the door , revolver in
hand , was
E. r. HUNTKK ,
n well known nnd prominent lawyer to
Sonora. Nothing could shako him in
this belief , nnd in hia dying doclarti.
tion ho charged Hunter , in direct nnd
unequivocal terms , with being ono of
the murderers. Strnnqo to sny , Hunter -
tor had been engaged in some law bus
iness against the Blakeslccs , nnd on
the very night of the affair wns in tlit ,
vicinity of their ranch. As if to give
probability to the terrible accusation ,
it waa reported that the horse Hunter
rpdo into the mountains returned
riderless to Bcodigr.u's livery stable ,
whcro ho belonged , nt nn early hour
of the morning succoiMlinsc the night of
the nnirdor. To make matters worse
for the limb of the Inw , by ndding to
the likelihood ot hia doing such ntt
awful deed , Hunter hnd already killed
ono man nud wounded two or thrco
others in shooting scrnpos. Foryenra
he hnd appeared to court the reputa
tion of a fighting man , if not n des
perado. Now , to his horror , ho found
the notoriety so onrgorly sought artor
n ctirso nnd n burden to him. In his
dismay , for ho wns really dread
fully nlnrmod nnd worried nt the
appalling nccusation mndo with such
distinctness nnd particularity by
the dying mnn , Hunter would hnvu
given worlds for tkat woll-ostabliahod
character for peace nnd quietness
which stands ns n shield of safely iu
thu hourj of trial nnd danger. An it
was , iho lion. II. 1\ Barber , the dis
trict attorney , ono of the nbloat and
most zealous prosecuting ofilccra in
the state , wua convinced of his
brother attorney's innocence , despite
nil appearances to the contrary. Ho
had known Hunter many years , nnd
understood hia character thoroughly.
Thny were bitter political onumies ,
ind moro than once got into nngry
pi raonal altercations during hot cam
paigns , nnd in the trinl of exciting
: rhninal cases. But Barber know
Hunter , rhsh and reckless as ho was ,
to bo utterly incapable of n deed like
that with which ho stood charged ,
utd with n manly , generous spirit ,
meriting all praise , proclaimed his
convictions nnd earnestly assisted in
bringing vo light the guilty parties.
AKKEST OF "OUIZZLY JIM. "
In working up the caao , and casting
ibout for every possible causa or cir-
jumstnnco which might operate on
ho mind of anybody , nnd bo likely to
cad to such a revengeful act , it was
ocollcctecl that a brother of Jim
dyona , some time before , had trouble
rith the Blakcslocs about his ranch.
Choy had got the best of the litiga-
ion which followed , and there the :
natter Boomed to rest. Knowing ,
lowpvor , the vindictive temper of
'Grizzly Jim , " who could never rest
nsy under n sense of wrong , suspi-
iou immediately fastened upon him , :
nd M close watch wns sot upon his
very movement. A warrant was
nally sworn out ft r his arrest , to
other with a bad character named
tab Poor , and n teamster called 'Wul-
ice , both of whom were known to
ave been at Lyons' place about the , .
mo of the murdor. The latter waa a |
oung man of industrious habits , |
nd never before accused of' ' crime.
Zealous and persistent efforts were I
tndo by both ladies and gentlemen to 1
iduco Wallace to make a confession. | J
lathing could bo expected in this
Erection' ' from such hardened natures
i Lyon" and Poor , who treated the
latter with scornful indifference ,
"ot so with this young associate , who
row palo and trembled visibly when
i formed of the terrible consequences
> himself in the event of the others
irning state's evidonco. At last ho
roko down completely and made n
ill statement of the tragic occurrence :
aught in bad weather , ho had stop-
id for the night with Jim Lyons at
is ranch , whcro ho also mot Bob
oor. Lyons , during the course of
to long winter evening , got to talk- '
ig about the wrong done his brother
the Blakeslces , and proposed to go
toro next night and kill them ,
oor readily seconded this pro- T
> sition , and Wallace said ho waa
'raid to refuse to join in the atrocious
idertaking. Ho hesitated at first ,
id urged haste in getting away to
tend to Bomo important business. ,
ut a Bignificont hint from Lyons , and
o dark looks of the two men , torri-
id him so that ho agreed to go with
em and take part in the bloody
3rk. Early next day they made
civ preparations , and net out for
0 Blakeslee ranch , hiding in a cave 01o , ,
tunnel near the place until after p
rk. The weather wns very bad , the ofof
ght black and stormy , the rain iti of '
mring down in torrents , They left lei
oir hiding place , nnd it was nr- ah
tn
ngod that Poor should fir.o
rough the window , Lyons break
the jdoor , and Wallace go to
D'rear and cut off escape in that
rection. The young man averred
it ho mentally resolved to fire ever
3 heads of any persona attomping to
b out of the back door , and the tea-
li
nony of the two men who escaped ,
0 of whom was shot in the arm at
3 first firp , corroborated hia state-
int in this particular. The surviy-
; brothers , it may bo remarked , did
t see the person who entered at the
nt door , and could give no evidence
thb point of identity to relieve
inter ,
COLONEL E. D. DAK EH ,

DW Lyons personally , They had
no to the state together , and during
sea voyagea the latter had won the
mdship and admiration of the
onol by hia mainly and generoua
iduct. Baker's speech was a mas Di
piecoof eloquence , and ho pleaded
the life of his client with great
vor tmdjearnostness , going back to We

la the day of execution approached , ' '
I all liopo of a new trial dioap-
red , the doomed men admitted
Ir guilt and confirmed [ Wallace's IVi
story. Lyons hnd little to say , bul
Poor weakened nnd became quite gar
rulous , repenting the details of the
tragedy over nnd over Again , On the
the scaffold it wna the snmo thing.
Lyons appeared the quiet , re3oluto ,
determined mnn that ho wns , while
Poor raved nnd cried nnd prnyed by
turns. True to his nature nnd habits
of life , Jim declined the offer of n now
suit of black clothes to bo hanged in ,
