whllo 5 hi hwnymon worp killed in the

DETECTIVES' YARNS.
As this was enough in the way of dry
tatUtlcj , the interview merged Into a
chatty conversation , In the course of
vhu".h Mr. Hume said : "Thoro is a tro-
monduous amount of fiction in the yarns
old about detectives , and particularly
s to the marvellous disguises they are
npposea to adopt. During the twenty-
oar or five years that 1 have devoted to
obbor-hunttng I have never once as-
umcd a disguise , and have never known
an attempt at d sguiso on the part of a
veil known officer that did not prove a
'ailuro. There aio times when a coat-
collar will bo turned up , a hat pulled
down and a handkerchief held at the
nose to conceal one's features for a few
nomonts , but this Idea Is simply abanrd
hat one's appearance , manners , move
ments and voice can so bo altered as to
cacapo detection for n considerable time.
A thief taker's Identity may of course bo
loncealod from these who do not know
lira well , but the fact that ho is a dis
guised man will soon become apparent to
every one , and will hinder his efforts to
obtain information by making every one
uspiclous of him , especially these por-
icns of the criminal clasa amongst whom
to expects to find his gamo. My busi
ness as a special officer of this com-
lany is thoroughly legitimate , and
ppcah directly to the sympathetic
sslatauco of every respcctablo clti-
en , and , therefore , by an attempt to
onceal my Identity I would loto many
uore chances than 1 could possibly gain.
) ar service consists of three special ofli-
eia and a varying number of guardf , or ,
a wo call thorn , shotgun mcsaeng'rs.
'hose latter travel over the lines that of-
or the greatest temptations to highway
men , and are every ono of them stayers.
Vo may temporarily employ an extra
nesaongtr , who turns out to bo made.

re men of taorough
COUUAOE AND I'llOJIlT ACTION ,
nd robbers are always careful to steer
lear of any stage on which they suppose
no < > t thoio men may be riding. In all
ly oxptr.onco there has never been an
cession wh n a regale r shotgun mossen-
er showed the white feather , no matter
what the odds against him or the promise
of danger might bo. They are the kind
of men you can depend on if you get in a
ix with the certainty that they will pull
'ou ' through , or stay by you to the last ,
n the great majority of stage robberies
wo can pretty soon get a cleir to the
tarty or parties who iuvo done the job ,
.ad frequently can name them at once ,
> at there are caios where they escape de-
ectlon for a long while this being al
most invariably where their apparent re
spectability prevents sufpiclon Irom rest-
ng on them. A marked Instance of
this was the man Boles , or
'Black Bart , ' ai ho Is moro generally
known. That chap ran his court o as a
highwayman for o'ght ' years , during
which time ho robboa single handed , no
less than twonly-nlno stages. Ho was ,
without excepiin , the most singular
stage robber 1 have over known , for ho
had none of the vices common to such
men , kept free from accomplices , lived
very quietly until tbo proceedH of his lusl
steal were gone , and then made anothei
haul to meet his expenses for the nexl
few months. In fact ho systemizoc
stage robbery better than any of his
predecessors and carried out his plans BO
carefully , and at the samotime so boldly
% s to nuke detection almost Impossible.
Although ao long a time patscel before
wo could place him , still his style was
such that we know every ono of his rob
beiies was committed by the same [ man
Inttead of standing at tha eido of the
road , as atago robbera almcst always do
he'd step out directly in front of the
horses and call a halt ; at tha same time
stooping to conceal his height and hold
ing his arms well op before bis face
Then , again , ho always wore a long linen
duitor , to hide his cluthea , and neve
used the profane language that all rob
bois indulged in to intimidate the driver
and the passangors If you want
A 11KII-HOT STAOE-KOBBKn bTOUY ,
however , I'll tell you the most remarka
bio ono that over came under my notice
that I ever heard cf , indeed. It only oc
cnrred a few yoara ago , but the pattlcu
lars have never appeared in mint that I
know tf , and 1 cn promise you snail
have them cirrectly fi m my note bock
In which such things are recorded. Mil-
tin Anthony Sharp was a school loiohor
In Missouri , 1 btllovo , find came to Iso-
vada whin ho was about twcnyycaw old.
During the next fourteen yoiri , that is
until 188P , ho lived in Nevada and Cal
ifornia , working in the tn'nea and at other
jobs , and obtained o good icputftUon in
every place where ho stopped. Ills hab
its were excellent , the only fault found
with him being that ho WAS a trllle over
cautious In speeding money on any ono
but himself , but this was considered more
a matter for juklng ttan an absolute mis.
erly habit , and Sharp was generally roc-
ognizcel as a model of intolllgcntand hon
est Industry. The reason why ho did not
got up in tbo world was his mania for
( peculating In cheap mining stocks ; in
which ho invested and lost every cent of
hlsoirninge. Daring tbo hut eight months
of 1870 ho worked on Mio farm of Peter
A , Kart , nuar Auburn , and on a-
count cf his superior education and
manners was the only farm hand
who lived with the family. Towaiel
the cloec of that year W. C Jones got a
job on the simo farm and HDCH became
became intimate witli Sharp , who , by the
way , was a man of great physical cndur
anco and pluck. Unknown to Inn un-
pkyer this W. 0. Jones , aliis Frank
bow , alias Keith , had -just completed a
term in the cUte prieon for a burglary
committed in Butta county , and ho un
doubtedly poisoned t o mind tf Sharp ,
who had sunk his last cent , as utiul , iu
stocks. In the early spring tf 80 they
left the farm and woio scon around th ra
no moro , aa they lay clcso for some tiuio
IN A DESERTED MINING CABIN
a fiw miles firm Auburn. This rabln ,
by the way , bilonged to Chief of I * , lice
Ciowloy of this city , and wo ha\o often
joked him upon the mo to which It wao
put. The pair etai ted their now business
on the 3Dth of May , whe-ii they lobbed
the stage from Forest Hill to Auburn
and then left the country. Un Juno 8th
they robbed the atago frcin L'araon to
Bodic , and again robbed the Bnmo stage
on Juno lth. ( Alter this they took a
rest , but on August GtU they rjbt-ed the
stage from Auburn to Forest Hill , anil
on Snjjtembcr 4-.h the stage fiorn Ca'sou
to Bodie. This last ailuir occurred be
tween ! ) and 10 o'clock in the nve-
niug , and the driver explained
matters when ho met tha itigo com
ing fiom B dlo. On the Bodio ccach
there happened to be ono of our shotgun
mess iigeri named Mike Tovoy , and also
an txira guard who had boon temporarily
employed on some job. Thera wore alee
five or six passengers on the stage. When
the place of the robbery was reached.
Tovey got down from his seat by the
driver and by the light cf a lantern found
the fresh tracks of the highwamon in the
dusty road. As there was no travel over
the road at that time of night , the tracks
wore undisturbed and they led on in the
direction in which the stage was going.
Every now and then Tovey would make
mother examination to see if the parties
lad left the road , and finally had the
stage atop at the fork where the Hall and
Slmpkins road turned ofi , about ton
miles from the point where the other
atigo had been robbed , Never dream
ng that au attempt would bo made on
us coach , Tovey lift his gun on the driv
er's seat and went on with a lantern.
Just as ho reached the head of the near
oader two shots wore fired , mltsing him ,
3iit killing the near leader. Tovoy dropped -
pod hislanturn , jumped back behind the
itago lights and grabbed his gun. In
rhe meantime the robber Jones called
out : "You wore trying to anoak up on
us were yon ? " and then with
A FRIGHTFUL OATH ,
exclaimed : "If there is a shot fired ,
we'll kill every one on the stage. " Trovy
called back to him aa though ho was
lightened , "What are you kicking
about ? There'a nobody talking about
hooting but yourself. If you want any-
hlog como out and got It. " At the same
ime he told the extra messenger in a
whisper , to get off on the other aide ef
he stage and attend to the robber over
here , while ho weld look after the one
on his aide. Jones approached slowly ,
and when ho got to the collar of tbo
whoel-horao Tovey shot him dead. The
extra guard I won't name him for the
ako of his brother , who had been In our
imploy , and who had proved himself to
> o a man of true grit the extra chap , 1
ay , scrambled behind the stage and let
oil' both barrels as soon aa Tovoy fired ,
missing the man clean. Tovoy hurried
.ho coach , and was in the act of firing
when Sharp pulled the trigger and put a
mllot through Trovoy's arm , causing him
o drop his gun , which exploded when It
truck the ground. Sharp then sprang
lack into the buthes and everybody sup-
losod he had cleaied out. When Tovey
ixamlned bis wound by the stage lights
ho blood was running BO fast that It seem
ed as though an artery muct b.ivo been
cat , and that it must bo &ttandod to at
once. The extra man , who couldn't
hoot straight , and a passenger , slutted
over with Tovoy to a farm house , Tihoro
10 conld got his wound drocsed. In the
meantime , Sharp had been lying low iu
ho bnshep , listening to all that was siid ,
and the throe men hadn't got a hundred
yards elf when he stopped out anco morn
, nd ordered the driver to throw off the
WelU-Fargo box , This order was mtur-
j\y \ ] complied with , and the cool rascal
iroko open the box and took $750 from
t , whila his companion lay dead there iu
ho road. After pocketing the money he
started oil , without appealing to notice
ho body of Jones , and tbab was the Iwi
that wan aeon cf him for some days. It
was altogether the most daring , cold-
iloodod port jrmanco I have ever heard
of. Tovry heard Sflarp
HKKAKINO THE 11 OX Ol'KN ,
and would have goao back , but he < vas
already fa'nt from loss of blood , BO ho
begged the extra meeaengf r to return and
kaokle the robber. The tellowlinked , '
however , and couldn't bo Induced to go a
atop , although Tovey awore at him and
taunted him with cowardice. 1
may siy hfra that Tovey got
all right nga n , and is still in the
strvlco , although he has had two shots
put into him since then. On the dead
robber a bank-book was found that
allowed ho hud $1.000 deposited in the
Savings Union of this city. Through this
clew wo learned that a man who lived in
the sure housa with him , on Minna
street , also had a deposit in that bank ,
and wo lay low fcr the gentleman to turc
up , which he did In a few days , when wo
nabbed him , and he turned out to be the
exemplary Mr. Sharp. That extraordin
ary chap had walked oomo two hundvad
nvlos over the Sierra a to Newcastle ,
at which placebo took the train for San
Franclsoo , in the bulief that ha had ej
caped all thanco of detection Ho waa
Uken from hero to Aurora , Nevada , and
convicted on the 2d of November , ion
touco being postponed until after o'ec '
lion. Sharp bad the freedom of the ccv
r dor , and on election day he dug a hole
through tlvo wall of the j il and escapoi
in broad daylight , The town was full o
I ro 'a , t iu by yuUing Sankot over j , ;
hoftd ho passed for on Indian , nnd no cno
ptid any attention to him. Aa an ovi-
denca of the man's endurance I can lell
you a remarkable thing about tint es
cape. ( n his leg WA * riveted an Oregon

as his escape was discovered n hue and
cry was raised throughout that region ,

was Bcouml in overdirn < > tion. After
a roundabout journey of 100 miles Sharp
reached Candelaria , wht 10 ho know ho

There was a minaluro forest of long
horns and the young steers wore playful.
I hero were eomo little old Ttxs cowa
Hut wore as 1 ght-atuppirg as a deer.
They wire of ilio wild breed from the
south , hardy and prolilLTho cowman
tald that thu boys rarely milked , because
the cows wore so wild , but ho ahonld ask
his visitor to t > y SOILO of the milk cf a
full blooded Lug-horn. It was , ho Enid ,
the Brrcetest milk In the world. Tht
cattle began to move oil' to the elevators
in the dlsluuco , lowing as they wont.
Soon the western rim of the prairie blaz
ed wi < h a sunset that ssoinud like a dis
tant lire , and all was as still aa death , ex
cept the creak cf the wind mill and the ,
bleating of the young calves. "Now
sling j'ouree'ves together. " This was the
tnlutation of the cowboy who acted as
cook. Ho attended to tiia duty with his
armra on. The table was bare , the platas
and cupn were of tlu , and the ccli'to was
in a pot S3 black that night Doomed a day
beside it. The meat was in fcho atowpan
arid the milk waa in a tin pal ) . The tomatoes -
matoes were fresh from a can , and the
blacuita were froeh from the oven. Del-
nionico never served a meal that waa bet
ter roliihed. The cowboys have a way
of putting sweetbreads , liver , a bit ol
tenderloin , marrow , and some calves'
bialns in a dish that would do honor to
; ho Manhattan club's chef.
Hero were several gcnuino cowboys ,
ind moro came loping into camp later.
They were need to rough life , and aa thio
was a quiet night , when there waa no
storm lo make the cattle drill over the
3oundary , they ranged themselves on a
t > euch before a cook steve , wboro the
aacsquito roots were cracking into a hot
ilazu , and without san gor or bluster ,
lei-jo play or boisterjusness , chatted qui
etly and gcod-huraei'tdly about their rides
over the ir ranches. They had killed pan
thers and grizzlies and antelope and wild
cats and rottknnakes , but they did not
talk about them. One of them accident
ally referred to a recent expcrienco whoa
camping near a sheep-herd. Bo was
sleeping out of doow , with his boots on >
and was awakonad by a wildcat that had
aahcupbytho throat. He leaped up
and started to wind the cat , when ibmado
A spring for tils threat. Ho had nothing
to 1'iRit with except his hands and feet ,
md couldn't run. By way of apology
or relating the story , ho eaid that ho just/
md to fight that that was all there was
ibout it. He knocked the wildcat off ,
ind it leaped , back. Ho jumped away ,
, nd aa thu animal fell ho gave it a kick.
lhis ? knocked it over , and quick aathought
10 jumped upon Its head. It got free ,
hough stunned , and started for him once
tnoro. He knocked it again with effect.
md getting It 'under his feet stamped it
.oath. "I was never so glad to aeo
nythlog die iu my life , " ho added
s ho- rolled ! a Mexican cigarette.
The cowboys are good friends. They
eve conversation , for It is irhat they are
nott deprived ( if. Unoaheop.herdon said
hat ho was three months in a cinyon In
aorth Texas without hoaiiag a haman
lolce. and that iho only thing that fright-
nod him during his atay was a man who
uddenly came upon him one day. Ho
