Eominisconcos by One of the Origintil Har- igators of Beyonty Years Ago. Sumo Ititcrcstltif ; Incidents on the Ohio , Mississippi nnil Mis souri Hirers. Pitlsburg Dispatch : Hack in the early days of llio 1'ittabury river tratlo , vvlieu the navigation of the Monongalicla nnil Olilo rivers was in its nwtuldling clothes , there was no character so well known us Michael Fink. Ho might justly bo stylctl the pioneer of Pittsbnrg boating. Fink was born in this oily nnd had but little knowlcdgu of letters , especially of their sound and powers , as Ids orthography was very bad , and ho usually spelled his name Miclto 1'hinck , wliilo his father spelled it with an F. When ho was young , the witchery which is in the tone of a wooden trumpet , culled a river horn formerly used by keel mid ilatboat navi gators on the western waters , entranced tlio soul of Mike wlulo yet a boy , and ho longed to bccomo a boatman. This soon became his ruling passion , and ho served as a boatman on tlio Ohio and Mississippi rivers and their tributary streams , which occupation lie pursued until this sort of men were thrown out of employment by the general use of steamboats. When the Ohio was too low for naviga tion , Mike spent most ot his limo in the neighborhood of 1'iltsburg , killing squir rels with his rillo and shooting at a target for beef at tlio frequent Saturday shoot- inff matches and company musters of the militia , , lie soon becumu famous as "tho best shot in thu country. " Ills language was a perfect sample of the half-horse nntl hal.f-ailigator dialect of the then race of boatmen. He was also a wit , and on that account ho gained the admiration and o.xeltcd the fear of nil the fraternity of boatmen , for ho usually enforced his wit with a sound drubbing if any ono dared to dissent by neglecting or refus ing to laugh at his jokes , for , ns ho nsctl to say , he told his jokes on purpose to bo laughed at in a good-humored way , and that noman should "mako light" of them. Mike made proclamation , "I am a Salt river roarer , and 1 love the \yimming , and as how I'm chuck-tiill of light , " etc. Among his boon compan ions were two men. Carpenter and Talbot - bet , Mike's fast friends and particular confidants. Each was a mutch for the other in prowess , in fight or skill in shooting , for Mike had dilligontly trained them to al ! these virtues and mysteries. Carpenter and Talbot figure hereafter. Many shooting feats of Mike's are related here by persons who profess to have wit nessed them. " 1 will rulato some of them , " said , an old-timer. "Use thorn as you plca&o. In ascending tlio Mississippi , above the mouth of the Ohio , ho saw a sow with eight or uiuo pigs on the river bank. Ho declared , in a boatman's phrase , he wanted a pig , and took up his rillo to shoot ono , but was requested not to do so. Mike , however , laid his rillo to his face und shot at each pig successively , as the boat glided tip the river under easy sail , about 40 or M yards from shore , ami cut oil' their tails without doing them any harm. "In 1823 Mike and his two friends , Cur- pouter and Talbot , engaged , in St. Louis with Henry & Ashley to go up the Mis souri with them in the three-fold capaci ty of boatmen , trnppcrs and hunters. IteroMiko and his friend Carpenter quar reled n deadly quarrel , the cause of which is not certainly known , but was thought to have been caused by a rivalry in the good graces of a squaw. The quarrel was fiinothered for tlio time by tlio interposition of mutual friends. On the return of spring the party revisited the fort , when Mike and Carpenter , over n cupof whisky , revived the recol lection of their past quarrel , but made a treaty of peace , which waste to bo solemnized by their usual trial of shooting the cup of whisky from oil'each other's head , as their cus tom was. This was at oneo the test of mutual reconciliation anil renewed confi dence. A question remained to bo set tled who should have thnlir&t shot ? To determine this , Mike proposed to "sky a copper" with Carpenter that is , to throw up a copper. This was done , and Mike won the first shot. Carpenter seemed to bo fully aware of Miko'3 un forgiving temper and treacherous intent , for no declared that ho was sure Mike would kill him. Hut Carpenter scorned life too much to purchase it by a breach of his solemn compact in refusing to stanii the test. Accordingly ho prepared to die. Ho bequeathed his gun , shot- pouch , powder-horn , his bolt , pistols , and wages to Talbot , in case ho should bo killed. They went to the fatal plain , and whilst Mike loaded his rifle and picked his Hint , Carpenter filled his tin cup with whisky to the brim , and , with out changing his features , he placed it on his devoted heap as a target for Mike to shoot at. Mike leveled his rifle at the head of Carpenter at a distance of sixty yards. "Aftor drawing a bend , ho took down his rillo from his face anil smilingly said. 'Hold your noddle steady , Carpontoiyum don't spill tlio whisky , as I shall want some presently. ' Ho again raised , cocked his piece , and in an instant Carpenter fell and expired without a groan. Mike's ball had penetrated the forehead of Car penter in the center , about an inch unit a half above the eyes. Ho cooly set down his rillo. and applying the imrlo to his mouth , blow the sinoko out of the touch- hole , without saying tv word , keeping his yu ftcndlly on the body of Carpenter. His first words wore , 'Carpenter , huvn yon spilt the whisky ? ' lie wa.s then told that ho had killed Carpenter. 'It is all tin accident , ' said Mike , 'for 1 took as fair a beatl on the black snot on the cup as I ever look on a squirrel's ' eye. How did it IiappunV' He then cursed the gnu , the powder , the bullet nntl liually himself. This catastrophy. in n country whore the ( strong arm of tlio law can not reach , passed oft for an accident ; and Mike was permitted to go at largo , under the be lief that Carpenter's death was tlio rc.sult of contingmioy. Hut Carpenter had a fast friend in Talbot , who only wailed a Jair opportunity to rovungo his death. No opportunity ollbiyd for some months after , until ono day , Mike , in a lit of gasconad ing , declared to Talbot that ho did kill Ciintmitpr on purpose , and that ho was glad oH. Talbot instantly drew from hi * bolt a pistol ( the same which hud be longed to Carpenter ) ami shot Mike throii''h the heart , Mike fell to thn croimd and expired without a word. Talbot , also , went unpunished , as nobody had authority or inclination to call him to account. Truth was , Talbot was as ferocious and dangerous as the gri/.Iy bear of the prairies. About three months after , Talbot was present in thu batllo with the Aurickarocs , inhicli Col. Lcavonworth commanded , where ho dis played u coolness that would have done honor to a bettor man. Ho came out of the battle unharmed , About ten days after ho was drowned in thu Titan river , in attempting to swim it. Thus ended 'thu last of the boalmou.1" NOTHINGJ3UJ A V/AG.

" In the plain building before which we are standing the in imitable showman lirst set up his "wax figgcrs , " and if wo enter hero we may encounter the assistant editor of the Fhiindc.ilor , who was the associate nnd intimate friends of "A. Ward" when the latter was the editor of this journal. He hvs many anecdotes to toll of the genial showman. He describes his appearance , when ho first came to the ollicc , ns de cidedly rustic. Ho was , ho says , long and lank , with flowing hair and loosely lilting coat , nntl trousers too short in the legs and bagging at the knees. His humor was irrepressible , and always bubbling over , nnd ho kept all about him in a constant state of merriment , Ho was a wng nothing but a wag but in that line a genius. Hu could see only the ludicrous side of n subject. Going away oncn on a short vacation , ho engaged tills gentleman to perform his work during his absence. Ho carefully instructed him as to his duties , and in do ing so drew from his pocket a tow string about a foot and a half long anil told him he must furnish tlmt amount of copy per day , leaving on his desk the measure a.s a reminder of the quantity. About this time ho wes called upon to respond to a toast to the press at a Hen Franklin fes tival held in Cleveland. Ho rose to his feet , hung his head for a few moments in silence , and then sat down , having Xaid nothing. Iu his account 'of the festival in the next day's Plaindealor his speech was reported by a blank space of about half a column of eloquent silence. This gentleman remembers that s'oon after "A. Ward" entered the lectv-e Held ho was invited by a theatrical manager in San Francisco to deliver a course in California. The season being close at hand , the manager asked him by tele graph : "What will you take for forty nights in California ? Answer immedi ately. " Ward answered immediately , by telegraph , "H randy and water. " Thu joKe was noised throughout the state , ant } the result was , when Artomus went there to lecture on his own account , ho was met everywhere with overflowing houses. While engaged in lecturing in the west lie wrote this gentleman the following epistle : "Mr DP.AK ( inoiton T want you to do me a favor.

OMAHA , Feb. 17. [ Editor of Tlio Chicago Tribune. ] lias not Gen. Sher man none enough to prove his loyalty and love of country to entitle him to peace and quint for. the remainder of' ' his life ? Js the meaning of thu terms of sur- rondnr agreed upon between himself and Johnson altered a whit by the disclosures inadn in thn ktlor.s recently published in the Now York Sun , to the eli'ect liiat tlio Confederacy was then on iln last legs ? Was it not well known to us at that time that such was the fact ? Gen. Sherman's "Alomoin. " prove that ho know when the negotiations worogoingon tiiat Davis and liis cabinet wore near by , and that ono of them , Air. Hrcckmrldgo , was present at the conference. The terms agreed upon between Sherman and Johnston bound nobody unless they were ratillcd by the government at Washing ton , and the abuse winch WUB hcancd upon the head of Con. Sherman at that time by people who could not under stand the situation from his btandpoint should Imvo sulliced without this fresh outburst. The Sun's implication con tains not ono fact of importance in this connection that ha1) ) not bi'tsn known for many years. It is not merely a statement of the matter by the confederates thoni. bolvcs , and is of interest only for that reason , As a former mnmbnr of the Second Iowa infantry , participating in the battle of Donelson , in active service until the war closed , and in Sherman's army when Johnston surrendered , 1 protest.

Chicago Ivjwet "Things nro not quite so bail Jn.t"0 southwest as they wore a fewyehrS/igo / , " observed a Now Mexican cattleman to n News reporter. It was lively ihnry there just before the completion ol , uio Alt-bison. Topeka & Santa Fo end the Southern Pacific rail roads. There was Hilly the Kid , whoso name is Inimdtjtallzetl in many a dime novel , terrorizing the entire county of Lincoln ; tlio ( Canton gang of 'rustlers , ' stealing and killing on both sides of the boundary lind , and little Jimmy Hughes , the pet of the San Simon , raising sheol in the mining camps of the Pyramid mountains. "Hilly the Kid , whoso real name was Antrim , was a. desperado almost from his cradle , and had actually killed seven men before he was 17 years old. ilo was employed by tbo catflc kings of the I'ceos valley , as the Chlstim outlit was called. together with about a dozen other hard characters , to prevent settlers taking up land on the 1'ecos river , and thus enable a few men to control ono of the most fer tile stretches of country iu the southwest. The Pccos valley is about ono hundred miles in length , oxtc'idiug from Lincoln county , Now Aioxico , in a northeasterly direction over the bonier line into Texas. Until a few years ape it was virtual jy the domain of John Cliisum and his friends , and although desperate cflbrUwcro made bv the county olliccrs to protect settlers on the I'eoos , they wore all more or less abortive. Sheriff William Bradv , who has made himself conspicuous in trying to uphold the law , was murdered in cold blood by the Kid on the public pln/.a in the town of Lincoln. The Kid and his companions were in ambush behind tlio wall of a corral , and the lirst notice Brady had of their presence was the death volley by which no was killed. A companion named Hindman was mor tally wounded. After Brady's death no one could bo found bravo enough to act a.s sheriff , and for months no process was served in the county. "At length a line young settler named Marion Turner -took tiio olliee and suc ceeded in capturing the Kid. who was tried before Judge Bristol , of the second judicial district , and was sentenced to death. He was confined in tlio Lincoln jail , an old adobe building , and in the absence of bis guards ho managed to get into the armory , which was without a good lock. Here ho obtained a six-shooter anil a shotgun belonging to Deputy United Slates Marshal Olingor. Ilo killed a deputy sheriff named Hrady with the pistol and Olingor with the shotgun , secured a horse and rode out of town. No one dared stop him. Turner was succeeded aa sheriff by 1'at Garrott. now nn extensive cattle owner on the rccos. Tlio Kill threatened that the next man ho would kill was Garrett , and Garrctt de termined to exterminate him. Ho started cunning for him , and never stopped until he ran tlio Kid down near Fort Stunner , and laid him out coldcr'n a wedge. This was in 1882. "This , " continued tlio cattleman , "gave peace to Lincoln 'county , and transferred tlio scene of our roubles to the south western cornp'r o'f New Mexico , where it borders ou Arizona. This place , known as Clovcrdalo , was , from 1880 until about two years aso , headquarters for as bad a gang of 'ritstferaWtnd horse and cattle- thieves ns ever disgraced a country. Its leader was Jko ( Canton , a watchmaker. who preferred } to bo a cattle-thief. Among his fnllbwors were Curly Bill. Cactus Bill , Jolfnny-Ovor-thc-Fence , aim a lot more of Ujef > anie stripe , all of whom were wanted in "some state or other. The Cl unions ( there wore two brothers ) had taken up a J-'iyujh at Cloveidalo. which was well adaftbifl for stock-stealing on tiio largest pcfilui Being right on the boundary of old Mexico , Now Mexico and Arizona , tho.y conld jump from ono terri tory into another , hud from tlio United States into Mexico , or vice versa It is just at the entrance to Guadalpupo can yon , through which tlio United States troops enter Mexico on their Indian raids. At lirst the gun only stole Mexi can cattle , which they left on the Clover- dale ranch until they had a chance to drive them to the San Carlos reservation , where they were sold to the Indian agen cy. When they stole American stock they had more trouble , as it was necessa ry to remove the owners' brands. " "How is this done ? " "Tho process is simple enough. A piece of an old blanket is taken and dipped in water. It is then wrung out and placed over the brand. A common frying-pan is heated red-hot nnd pressed against the wet blanket. The steam gen erated scalds the hair clean off , and after nwliilCj when it grows again , a new brand is put on. Cattle thieves have also a kind of branding iron by which they can change a number of brands. This branding iron lias built up many a res pectable fortune in tlio southwest. "Curly Bill Avas considered about the worst of the Clinton gang. Ho is a well educated , gentlemanly young fellow and very pleasant iu manner , when ho hasn't got too much cowboys' cordial on board. Then ho 'whoops it up' with the wor&l of them. Ho started in to paint the town of Shakespeare red on one occasion , and after lining up with whisky , gave o din- play of his skill with his stx-bhooter. He knocked the spot out of the ace of hearts that another of the gang , Jake Wallace , held up for him , and at twenty paces lie shot a half-dollar from between Jake's thumb and forefinger. There was a sol dier on leave from Fort Bowie looking on , and Hill asked him to hold the coin. The soldier consented , and Bill struck it again. Ho asked thcboldicr to hold It up once more , and at tlio second lire , ho shot the poor fellow's right thumb oil' . Then ho quietly remarked * 'I reckon you've got your discharge in full. ' " ' Did the ollieorrf novcr make an qfl'ort to stop this kind of amusement ? " "Well , to commence with , there wore not many otlleers that cared for the job , and some of the ollicorn were very little butter than tlio rustlers. There was old Hoodoo Brown , justice of the peace of Albuquerque , for example. Hu ran Ids olliee .just for the coin in it , and pcacea- bio citi/.ciiR were arrested and lined on tiio most frivolous pretenses , while well- known euMllr'aus walked round town with the justiilo.fiiV poor young tondoiv foot from St , Lou s got full ono night and was brought ooforo the justice for exam ination.
