StoHos of famous California slago rob beries' hnvo of late appeared moro abundantly than usual but of the really picturesque pictures in frontier desper ado lifo one haa hardly n glimpse in these days. "Black Bart , " who stopped stages dozens of times in northern Cali fornia-operating with the utmost au dacity , and leaving specimens of his own rhymes on the emptied mailbags and troasuro-boxoB , or oven sending amusing letters to the local journals was a most original genius , troll-educated , intolll- ; ont , possessing but ono fault the stago- topping propensity. But criminals ully as interesting In their exploits as 'Black Bart , " or oven as Joaquin Mur- attaint ! Tlburcib'Vasquoz , the Spanish- Mexican outlaws , have only n local notoriety. Tales of their adventures yet told in pioneorH1 cabins , have never yet reached permanence in printed form ex cept in the merest fragment. The first of these questionable heroes was "Shoot-Iron Jack , " an audacious brigand , whoso real uamo is involved in obscurity. Fifteen years ago ho was a terror to several counties of Northern California. Ho was well educated , hand- sDino , tall ; the son of n minister , BO all accounts agreed , and his natno had boon gained by the immunity from bullet- wounds that lip appeared to possess. Men did not hesitate to dcchro that thoj atl BOOH good shots flred point-blank at ! iis breast and miss him squarely. lie became known as the most export horso- thief in the region , and Innumerable ex ploits of his are related in Shasta and Tolmma counties. On ono occasion lie throw his pursuers off his track , as- lumod a disguise , met the sheriffs party , delighted them with his aongs and stor ies , put up with them at a little village inn , and durintr the night escaped with ; ho three best horses in the party , after laving turned the others loose in the woods and leaving a saucy and funny letter - tor of thanks ending with an apt Latin juotalion for the sheriff , whoso wrath was of such an abiding sort that brief would have boon Jack's life-lease had ho boon overhauled ; in less than two min utes ho then wore assuredly hauled over Mid dangling from an oak-limb. Shoot-Iron Jock , with a moro bigatollo f twenty or so warrants hanqing over his head , once ventured into Hod Bluff , quite a largo town on the Sacramento river , whoso broad , rapid and bluff-walled cur 'out ' sweeps in a semicircle past. Ho hat i world of disguises , but on this occasion ho was recognized in the main street an pursued by an armed and excited crow of citizens. Ho ran into a stable , cut horse loosp and rode for the river , will ; bullets "sizzing" through the air abou him , jumped in , swam his horse over ant escaped. Ho fired a few shots himself ; but under the circumstances ho is not t < bo blamed for devoting his best onorgiei to locomotion. Ono of the most characteristic feats o ; this follow was performed at a mountaii. ball , in a log cabin. Young people had assembled from many miles distant , sonu of them coming a day's journey. The bal bad hardly begun when a tall , black haired , well dressed , handsome strange appeared and excited much comment. 1 particularly handsome young girl wa taken out on the floor by her partner , and suddenly the stranger stopped up ! and with great politeness requested the gentleman to resign the lady in his favor Ho whispered his name in the young man's car , paid a compliment to thi young lady , took her forth and led thi danco. The word wont around that Shoo Iron Jack had come there to dance with all the pretty girls ; that ho had sovora revolvers , never missed a shot and proba bly had friends hid within call. The long and the short of it was that the thirty youn men present were terrorized , and , ono after another , the handsome brigand danced with the prettiest maidens in the room. Then ho bowed to the excited as Hombly , stood in the doorway a second , and mockingly said it was a pity the moii were not as bravo as the ladies were handsome and disappeared in the dark ness. Stories of his liberality are atill told ii : the mountains. Many a poor follow , hungry and footsore , trudging along the roadside , hoard the rattle of hoofs as a man on horseback approached , was halt ed , questioned sharply , ilung a five or ton or twenty-dollar piece with the in junction -'drink no whisky and don't believe all the hard stories you hoar about Shoot Iron Jack. " The following Incident was told to the writer by ono of the principal actors therein , a number of years ago. It was a bright August day and a young Gorman was riding along the mountain paths of the Northern Coast range , Suddenly his horse , a fine and valuable animal , began to show lamonoes and in an hour was unable to moro than hobble forward at moro than snail's pace. The youth , ignorant regarding the ways of horsollosh was in despair , Ho had invested § 150 in the creature and how was ho to pro coo-1 on his way ? A mild-voiced , bonov olout old man of farmor-liko appearance , but in reality the shrewdest horse trader in the mountains overtook him at this juncture , won his confidence , examined the horse and pronounced it a case of "founder. " "And it'll take a year for him to git wall , and ho won't bo the same hess ag'in nothor. " "What shall I do ? " cried the sorrow ing Gorman. After a long talk the shrewd trader offered the German thirty dollars for the liorao , saying that ho ahoulu turn him out to pasture a mile distant , and leave him there a year or two. Ignorant , bowil- Jorcd , the Gorman consented , took the money , delivered thu limping horse , took his saddle and bags and started to walk to the nearest stage station. Meanwhile the sharper waited until his dupe was out of sight , tlioij took a pair of smith's pin cers out of his saddle-baps , and in live minutes ho had wrenched off all four of the now stool shoes from the horse's hoofs. In half an hour the horse was able to walk easily. "Thar , 1 tho't BO , " the now owner muttered. "Tho ininit I seed them now shoes I knotted sumo fool hud tight shod him. That hess IB wuth two hundred at least. Lordl 1 wish 1 could find aoch a fool uvory day. " The poor Gorman plodded slowly on his toilsomo.wny for several miles , when a man rode out of the bushes and do- maudod , ' 'Where in the devil was his homo ? " Ho told the story brietly , and with riling suspicions that it had two lidefl. The uian listened attentively , broke into merry fits of laughter , sitting lidewlso on his great brown horse , with 3iio KIICO thrown over the saddle , pulled hi moDstacho refloctingly it was Shoot Iron Jack. Ho began to nsk questions about the aged and benevolent stranger. Finally ho said : "You'vn ' boon swindled shamefully , and as this is my boat , I suppose I must help you out. You walk in these bushes till you como to a camp. There's broad and dried beef plenty. Then you lie down and go to sleep. " An hour later ho overhauled the now owner of thohorso , and at pistol point re covered the property. "But I ortor hev back thot $30 I paid the fool Dutchman. " "My honest sir , that goes for my fees as counselor In this case. Now I think of it , it is scandalously small ; turn out your pockets. " And ho took § 000 from the trembling and conquered sharper , onjoycd his despair a moment , tossed back half of it and rode off. The young Gorman was roused a little later by Shoot-Iron Jack. "Hero's your horse and outfit ; I'vo filled your saddlebags - bags and given you a pistol. Don't 1)3 afraid ; I bought it with honest money onco. All I ask is that you keep the story of this adventure secret fora month , Tonight I must move my camp. Ride off . " And Shoot-Iron as soon as you can. - Jack retired to his tent. Somehow this talented , educated , brilliant man escaped the tallons of the law-hawks , and was shot dead in a quarrel a few years later. "Big Sandy , " now in state prison for murder , was a desperado of a very differ ent typo. Ho was a red and burly giant , twice the size of ordinary men , Ho and n brother lived in a cnstle-liko and forti fied house on the headquarters of Cow Creek , noithorn California , and with their hangers-on they terrorised the whole region for years. The place was a resort for thieves and murderers , so it was surmised with justice. Cattle and hogs were shot in thn woods. Mon who ex pressed themselves strongly nn the sub ject were likely to hoar a bullet whist ling past whllo they were milking or chopping wood. Sandy had boon a slave driver in the palmy days of that ghastly occupation , and ho had neglected none of its lessons of greed , cruelty , and hypocrisy. The story is told against him , gathered from his own admissions and boasts whllo drunk , that ho had once grno to two or phan nieces of his , in some western vil lage , told them that ho was wealthy and prosperous in California , and with con summate villiany persuaded to sell their property , place the proceeds in his hands and start to California with him. took them down the Missisappi , and Now Orleans abandoned them , . ' with wcek'a board paid in advance , taking wit him oven their trunks and wardrob And at this point the merciful veil of s lonco * lias fallen upon the fate of thos unprotected girls , alone and penniless a great city , But yours afterward shameless women who shared his cabin ard took part in the councils of the gang were the dresses of these botrayc nieces. At last it cam out like a loaf from novel the brothers shot and killed ai old man named Shroler , who lived al alone , his only companion being splondod horse ho owned. They mad the horse restless , and the old mai walked to the stable in his shirt-sleeve. . and slippers. As ho crossed the moon lit atrip of turf they shot him , and she the horse also. When the murder wai discovered the community was arouaed and the brothers were arrested. Th chief witness for the state was a ochoo tcachor a man of much nerve , nnergy , and courage of convictions a rough ser of a bluoeyod'mountaineer , with 'pickod-up" education , and romarkabl success as a teacher. This man had dis covered the chief links in the evidence and with him out of the way the crim inals would infallibly escape. They hn the prestige of long authority over tin simple Bottlers of their mountain region for years Sandy never rode abroad withou several pistols at hiabolt , or down to tow without his shotgun in the wagon. Thii teacher dwelt in a cabin on the slopes the Sierras that rise toward the twin peaks of Casson a finer sight , and on > better worth the tourist's attention tha : the much-lauded dome of Shasta. II went homo to this cabin , where his wifi and child were , every Saturday night , ride of twenty miles on a tough littl mule , and started back at daybrea" Monday. Ho waa summoned to tin trial at the county scat , forty miles dis tant , and planned to make the trip by moonlight. A woman , mysteriously veiled , whoso identity has never beet satisfactorily determined , mot him , however over , and warned him of diuigor ahead Ho rode by a moro roundabout trail , an reached his destination. But all tha night men lay on the trail they oxpocte him to take , with buckshottod guns it readiness. Slow-footed justice at last overtook the "Terrors of Cow Crook. " Ninety line yean was their sentence ; and will : ho loaders gone , the few families tha' iad disgraced the neighborhood gradual y lost their influence , and Cow Crock is juito a civilized region to-day. In tor , 'onrs no ono will bn atlo to believe that is late as 1878 the burly , muscular , od faced , stolid , giant Sandy rode , lonu- y as a grizzly bear , along the highway > r across the trails through the Chemisa : ind Manzinita , with an arsenal's supply if guns , pistols and knives bestowed 01 iis awe inspiring person.

Now York Journal , A hlt h hoard fcnco inclosed the back yard of Mr. llobert Bounor'a handsome roaidonco on Fifty-seventh street , neat Fifth avonuo. A red brick st-.blo with granite tritnmlnga occuuies the middle of the yard. A covered path of tanbark - bark tana around the stable , inside o which the fastest trotter in the world ro. cnivcs her visitors. A gate loads through the fence from the Fifty-sixth street side , and small boys stand nround and endeav or to obtain a poop nt the queen of the turf through the holes in the fonco. A dozen of boya nnd half that , number of men were on the sidewalk ycitorday afternoon when the gate opened and the nose of the beautiful mare peeped forth , The nose waa followed by the sparkling eyes , the nrched neck nnd the glistening body of Maud S. She was to r-.ko her first exercise in Now York sincz she came In the hands of her now owner. A light road-wagon was hitched to the niaro and the colored nttpndaud , "General" Grant , attired in n linou duator and a straw hat , was seated in the wagon. Maud reared her head proudly as she glanced at the observers and evidently intended to say : "Look nt mo. I can boat 2:093 : if 1 like. " Tlio slick-looking driver used no whip , but chirruped to the mare as she pranced leisurely nlong Fifty-sixth street' , un..1 Grant turned her head into Seventh avonuo. Ladies stopped upon the sidewalk nnd Riancoi admiringly at chohandsome mare and the few hproemon on the nvenuo looked at her with critical eyes and sized her up aa n llyor oven if they were not aware that she waa Vandorbilt's lost troaiuro. When the trotter had reached Eighty-fourth street ho waa feeling lively - ly and the General had.no little dilliculty in holding her head steady. A robust man with a heavy black beard and a soft felt hat shading hia eyes , came bowling owiftly nlong behind Maud S. Ho drove n mettlesome looking dark bay _ horse that moved along with n free springy motion and covered the ground rapidly. The robust man drove right by General Grant nnd Maud S. turned her pretty head around indignantly an if to ask , "Well , what does this mean ? " The big dark bay was 200 yards ahoa when the General tightened the reins ov er Maud and whistled lowly. What ni poarcd to the spectators on Seventh nvi nuo to bo n streak of red lightning , fo lowed by abyciclo. daahot ? along the roa in n cloud of dust. The big bay hora hoard it coming and tried to get out th way. Ho wont straight nhcad with tha object in view , but ho couldn't do i The red streak whizzed by like a Has ' and did not stop until Ono'Hundrod an Tenthstreot. General Grant pulled he up there and waited until the robust ma and the big bay horse ciught up to hin When they did the man said in a star ! led tone : "Say , mister what , is that your'odriv ing ? a comet or a cyclonoV I was nove loft behind like that before. Grant showed hia white tooth in grin and answered : ' 'This is Maud i sah. " "Great ScotU" exclaimed the robua man , "that explains it. " The -wondeaful mare waa kept out fo two hours and was then driven back t her finely furnished stable , which riva many a fair lady's boudoir in its arch tocturo nnd dainty fixings. Maud wa rubbed down and polished for th twentieth time in a day , and shook ho little head at old Dexter , who conton odly munched oats in his stall , as if sh pitied the veteran record breaker. "Sho fools like a school girl , " sai Grant to the reporter. ' 'She bohaye well , although a little frisky , and I thin she can boat the record tomorrow if ah pleases.
