lilowcllcii'8 Kxploltfl ,
Mr. W. H. II. Llewcllcn , the leading
member of the New Mexico delegation
to the deep water convention recently
held in Denver , is a young man who
has seen a great deal more of frontier
lifo than falls to the lot of the average
man. JIo began his career in Omaha ,
nnd many of his exploits were first given
publicity in Tin : Bin : . His work was
chiefly done in the interior of Nebraska ,
and not in Omaha , as reported in the
Denver Times , whoso reporter Dwcavcs
quite a yarn upon incidents which have
necessarily boon greatly magnified in
order to make n readable story. It runs
about like this :
His first work of any great importance
began about ten years ago , when north
ern nnd western Nebraska was being
torrori/ed by a number of desperadoes ,
who made the lives of cattlemenranch
men and farmers , as well as existence
in tlio Ulack Hills , burdens , and made
them wish they had never been the
country. "Llow , " as ho was known ,
wont to the Union Pacific ollicials , who
had previously been trying to rid the
country of thebo hard characters , and
prolTored his assistance.
A DAHINO DIID : AMONG 11011111:11.1. :
The railroad people jumped at the op
portunity mid-hold out fabulous induce
ments for the young man to
inako the hazardous effort , lie went
to work on the stage lines between
Sidney , Neb. , and Deailwood , Dak. , anil
in a fowkinonUifl had "turned up" &ov-
eral of the worst road agents in the
country. IIo had many a fight , but
bcemingly bore a charmed lifo. but dur
ing the many encounters ho had ex
perienced ho was wounded only onco.
Ho shot the man who had put the ball
into him and then rode li ! > miles on i
mule to the railroad with the deni
robber strapped on the saddle. During
this long ride the detective had only
ono dried upbiscuittoeat and a canteen
full of stale water to drink. For this
capture he received $5,000 in cash fron :
the railroad company.
AN HoucATun iisriuAi)0. : :
His most noted exploit was in the ar
rest of "Doe" Middleton , or "Golt
Tooth , " as the Indians called him.
"Doc" and well-to
was once a peaceful -
do ranchman in Western Nebraska
owning a nice herd "of uattlo and was
known far and wide as ono of the nicest
follows upon the plains , lie was
a graduate of Yule college am
had studied medicine in one
of the New Kngland states , aud hat
practiced until his health gave out
when ho came west to recuperate. lit ,
located near Sidney and soon became !
popular and useful citizen.
lic'OMIN(1 ! AN OUTLAW.
Ho had but ono failing , and that was
n pa&lion for strong drink. When under
the inlhience of liquor ho was inclined
to be quarrelsome , frequently insulting
his best friends , who would leave him
until the effects of his debauchery were
off. While on ono of these sprees ho
entered a dance house in Sidney ono
night , and quarreled with a couple of
soldiers. Kovolvers were drawn and a
number of shots exchanged , which re
sulted in the two blue coats being killed ,
while Middloton was unhurt. The dead
bodies were stacked up in a corner of
the room , and the dance proceeded
without further iiiteivuption.
COMMITTING DKI'IUJDATIONS.
This rash act made Middloton an out
law , and ho at once organized a gang of
desperadoes , who pro .vied around the
country , stealing cattle and committing
many depredations. All efforts of the
railroads and state authorities to break
up the gang failed , although many thou
sands of dollars were expended and sev
eral lives lost , besides innumerable
numbers of stock being destroyed.
Pralrio fires started by the outlaws
burnt off the grass and caused much suf
fering among cattle , thousands ol heads
dying of starvation.
1I1DD1NG TIU : UAltlKS GOODllYi : . ft
It was at this date , in 1877-78 , that
Llowollcn offered his services to Al-
bitum Nance , at that fine governor of
Nebraska , promising , if given carte
blanche , to put "Doc" Middleton in the
penitentiary , and to break up the reign
of terror. Governor Nance wisely con
cluded to favor the young man , and ho
was soon in the saddle. Ho bade farewell -
well to his wife and babies ono bright
spring morning , and two days later was
among Middloton's friends , who were
numerous in the small villages of the
Niobrara country.
8TU1KING TIIK TItAIL.
"Llow" wandered in and out , appar
ently having no other aim in lifo than
to kill time and "bo ono of the boys. "
Ho was soon on good terms with sev
eral tough men and was a frequenter of
their gatherings. IIo finally located
the terror of the plains , and at once set
out to capture him. Negotiations wcro
finally entered into between the detec
tive and the desperado , whereby the
latter was to surrender himself and
receive as light a sentence as the law
allowed the authorities concluding
that the killing of the soldiers was an
net of eelf-dofonso , and holding Mid-
dloton amenable to the charge of horse
and cattle stealing only.
IN A TICKLISH I'OMTION.
A mooting place a hundred miles
from any habitation was eventually
njrrocd upon between Llowollon and
Mjddlcton , who , by the way , had never
before mot , and the day of appointment
the detocttivo rode to tv lone spot where
tt do/on horsemen were in waiting.
Llowellen was apparently unarmed ,
butbeneath a big llannel shirt ho car
ried a beautiful gold-mounted-18-calibro
revolver which ho could use with deadly
effect when ho felt so disposed. Hemet
met the notorious "Doc. " and his men ,
who forced him to keep in front of them
constantly , and as they proceeded
along the banks of a crock the "talk
was made. "
AN'ACT OF TIIKAC1IEUY.
Middloton agreed to surrender and
take his chances oi receiving the mercy
of the courts. Llowollon drew n docu
ment from his pocket nnd offered it to
the robber to sign. It proved satisfac
tory and the conference was about to end
amicnbly , when ono of the gang , tit' the
command of the thief , jerked a hugo
revolver from his bolt nnd tried to
shoot the olllccr. This act of treachery
was never carried out , as the "gun" re
fused to do its bidding , the spring being
too weak to explode the cartridge , nnd
the trigger only snapped six times with
out harming anyone.
Llewellou cast a quick glance at Mid
dleton , whom ho detected in the act of f
drawing one of his revolvers.
BirOOTINO DOWN TUB BANDITS.
"You re treacherous dog , " exclaimed
th detective , bail out cumc the gold
handled revolver. "I'll fix you. Take
that , and you take that , " M two shots
wcro fired in as many seconds. Middle
ton rolled oil his horse with a wound in
his stomach. The other scoundrel
never know what hurt him. Thou , see
ing that the entire gang was icady to
attack him , Llowellon put spurs to his
horse and sped across the divide like
the wind , catching a number of bullets
in his hat and coat as his blooded horse
carried him along.
AfeSIbTANCK ntOM Till : SOI.niKltf.
IIo rode for two days and a night
until ho arrived at the Sidney military
post , where ho related his encounter
and naarow escape to Captain Monahau ,
commander , who at once placed fifty
soldiers in charge of Llowollon , with
instructions to return and bag the
gamo. The vicinity of the treacherous
net was reached , and without much
trouble the bandit was captured.
IIo recovered from the wound and got
ten vcars in the Nebraska penitentiary ,
good behavior and time releasing him
bout two years ago. IIo is now run-
ing a saloon in southern Dakota.
Llowollon was paid $10,000 by the
'ailroad company for this service , bo-
ide.t receiving many gifts from the
lock growers of the Niobrara countr.y.
lo left a short time thereafter for Ari-
onln , and was for several years Indian
gent of the warlike Apache nation.
Ho compelled these Indians to bc-
lave themselves while on the reserva-
ion , a number of times enforcing obcd-
once at the point of a gun. "Lew" is a
nan of undaunted courage , and at the
amo time is ono of the best hearted fel-
ows on earth.
A HIDE TO DEATH.
[ ruoM TIII : KUKNCII. ]
St. Paul Globe : "And now , monsieur ,
. ,011 know , 1 think , what you have to
uol" The colonel ceased. Captain
? andon wheeled like a manikin turned
by a brutal hand. Two seconds later he
, vas in the street. His brain was vacant ,
vithout thought ; he walked with the
Automatic stop of the drunkard whom
l alone maintains upon his indecisive
ogs.
Arrived as his own house , ho threw
limsolf upon a chair , leaned his elbows
. ( Don his ljneeshis brow upon his hands ,
ind remained thus , astonished to find
elf almost calm , tearless , but still
inablo to rolled , from time to time n
sharp pang traversing his heart , mo-
nontarily recalled to him that ho
jUlToied ; ho felt himself pale. IIo
nade an ollort to rouse himself , got up ,
opened the window and regarded the
heavens of a light , tender blue , the
blue of the early spring morning that
'ollows a night of rain.
The trees of the garden had begun
to blossom , rosy clouds floated above
the houses , hovered a moment , upon the
chimney-tops like the wings of birds
! ind then resumed tlioir way. Before
him , bathed in a pallid sunlight , veiled
still by a vaporous mist , the qtiadrangu-
ar bulk of the quarters , its walls yellow
: ind naked , showed itself in an attitude
stilT and martial. For the first time he
aoetned lo see all these Ihings , and more
juickly than over , the impression of ex-
x-rnal objects acting upon a galled and
tortured brain. Nevertheless , while in
lis lungs the fresh , pure air of tlio
norning circulated , and he felt and he
saw the beauty of the world about him ,
by a curious doubling of personality ho
followed impossibly in another self , the
terrible and commonplace history that
had
DISIIONOUKD HIM.
He , Captain Randon , accused of for-
ory , was going to be brought before
cou'rtmarlial. To-morrow at lalest he
would bo arrested the colonel had
given him but twenty-four hours had
said : "And now , monsieur , you
know. I think , what you have to do ! "
IIo had but one passion the horse
and that passion had ruined him. To
ride , to run them , to mount them at
races and to have a stable hud boon the
fixed idea of his life ; the goal of all his
desires and oll'orts ; the single thought
of his soul. A marvelous horseman ,
absolutely indismountablo , so they said
in the regiment the men hadburnamed
him "The Jockey" a name that was at
once his ambition and his pride. Tlio
mulntonnnco of hisstablo , however , had
cost him his pat-imony. Ho had bor
rowed , and a pack of creditors loosed at
his heels tracked and harrassod him.
At last , at bay ono day , mad with worry
and lost in one of those moments when
moral sense is obliterated and con
science uses sophistries to put to sloop
its scruples , he had drawn from the
cash box of his squadron , forged signa
tures to the bills in it , ami falsified his
accounts in the hope of hiding the de
ficit.
ficit.Unskilfully done , the fault was speed
ily discovered , and to-morrow ho waste
to bo publicly branded , and the cavilers
of the second class , who , in the street ,
rode behind him , would then have the
right to refuse to salute him , the right
to scorn him.
"How could I have done it ? " he cried
aloud , clutching the window-frame in
agony , all in a sweat , his eyes dry and
blaring straight before him in an atti
tude of blank despair. Ho had a vision
of the ordeal awaiting him the five
brother alllcors united there to judge ,
CONDliMN AND IMUiUUK HIM !
"And now , monsieur , you know , I
think , what you have to do ! "
The phrase of the colonel returned to
him suddenly in its implacable signifi
cance , followed by that other ono that
his brain convoyed to him like an echo
"He means you lo kill yourself ! "
IIo remained a moment bewildered ,
stupefied. Then , a sob shook his breast ,
tears rolled from his eyes , and liKe a
child , who , feeble and without support ,
has need to sustain and solace itself by
atlcetionho was seized with an infinite
gratitudoan instinctive thankfulness to
the colonel who had been kind to him
his colonel , who had accorded him i
twenty-four hours of grace , who had [
opened to him a door of salvation in
permitting him to evade a public dis
honor.
IIo must kill himself that liberty
alone remained to him. Kill himself j !
Finish it , and immediately ! Death j !
No more hubbub , no more uneasiness or
disquietude ! Indifference to the future !
Forgetfulncss of cvorylhing and of him
self !
So bo it ! lie had had enough of this
needy , tormented oxi&tencol
Meanwhile ho had not stirred from
his window , unable to tear his regard
Irom the spectacle of lifo that sur
rounded him. In the distance from the
gates of the quarters a platoon of riders
wore going out for their regular maneu
vers. Men and horses were like pig
mies , small but distinct. Mechanically
lie counted them. Four eight twelve
sixteen eighteen. Soon the platoon
was lost from sight in one of the cross
streets , and when the last of the
cavaliers had disappeared around the
turning , a great emptiness filled the
breast ot Randon. It seemed to him
that henceforth he was alone in the
world abandoned by every ono. Ho
drew himself back , slowly rocloscd the
sash and re-entered his chamber.
Against the wall on the right a panoply
ply of arms fastidiously arranged
caught his eye. Ho rollectod , quickly
passing in review the divers means ol I
suicide that were at his door , success
ively rejecting them all the revolver ,
commonplace ; the stroke of the poln-
ard , theatrical ; poison , the method of a
nervous duchess ; drowning , lit only for
a betrayed and
Suddenly ho shivered he had found
it I Ho descended to the court nnd
called his stableman.
"Saddle Ninlche I" said he. And ho
waited , promenading from sldo to side ,
threshing the air with his riding whip ,
whistling through his teeth. When
they brought him his mount , a little
mare , true bred , slender , yet binowy ,
ho was calm again , nnd settling himself
slowly in his stirrups , departed.
Erect upon his saddle , martially
camped , his legs falling naturally along
the Hunks of his mare , the reins supple
but perfectly carried , and trimly at
tired in a blue cavalry coal , closely but
toned to his form , Captain Randon ad
vanced at n slow stop. lie was1 palo , a
little nervous perhaps , but ho wished
to bo impassible and stiffened himself
resolutely , in order to glvo himself
countenance , ho regarded the bluish
smoke of hia cigarette mounting lightly
in little eddies in the transparent clear
ness of the atmosphere , or lifted his
head to examine the windows of the (
houses to surprise n pair of eyes that
contemplated him , a hand that drew
aside a curtain , and he was happy at
the littio olTcct produced by his passage.
Impelled by force of habit , ho had
taken the road to the quarters. IIo
perceived it presently and smiled con
temptuously ; nevertheless continued his
route. Ho desired to see for the last
time the beings and things familiar to
him. Ho t-alutcd with the tips
of his fingers the sentry who presented
arms , gave an amicable good-day to tlio
fcous-olllccr of the guard , a man of his
own squadron , made the tour of the bar
racks without dismounting , threw n
glance into the stables , directed tlioolll-
cor of tlio day to remit s-omo punishments
that he had inllicted the evening before ,
passed to the gate , leaped it and turned
and swept the building with a , gaze of
adieu.
Only then did his heart sink , and ,
fearing the trouble that invaded himhe
put his mare to the trot , becking to fly
Ids weakness. Ho had resumed the
\\ay to the foro&t ; before long ho was in
the woods. Kays of sunlight filtered
throughout the leaves , designing the
shadows of the trues and branches upon
the brownish earth. Drops of the
night's rain still pearled upon the
grasses.
Captain Ilaiulon brought his horse to
, i walk. "There is a plenty of time , "
lie thought , and allowed himself to go
dreaming idly , soothed by the freshness
of the morning bree/.o.
In the meantime ho had passed into a
wide aandy alloy "tho training alloy , "
us ho remembered , of the barracks ho
had traveled two kilometers at a jump.
IIo dropped the reins upon Ninicho's
neck , and the head and shoulders of the
mare balanced to the right and balanced
to the left with the regularity of a pen
dulum. Kandon was absolutely cantont
content with the pride of a resolution
well ami firmly taken. Ho was happy
even to find himself calm and
1'iroui ) oi- ' ins HUAVBHY.
At the end of the alley he traversed a
wide clearing , and a hundred metres
further btopped. Behind a tall hedge
near by , a stone's throw from the high
way , not more , the line of the railway
ran ; the descent that led to it was per
pendicular and covered with pebbles
and jagged points of stone. 1'ulo a.s a
corp-o , Kandon obserxcd it , a strange
emotion holding him , his legs weaken
ing beneath him. IIo made a half-turn
throw his animal upon her haunches
and advanced again but at a walk.
There was plenty of time.
Ninicho was afraid of a tree that had
fallen across her route , and plunged
violently. A little more and Kandon
had been dismounted. It was a painful
surprise to him.
"Chut ! " ho cried , "What is the mat
ter with me1 ! Can I ride no inoroV"
And , afraid of being afraid , lie stilVened
himself anew and began to pet and
bootlio her less to calm his aniinalpor-
haps , than to reassure himself.
' Gently , mamio , gently ; no precipi
tation. Easy , my girl , easy. Thou
shall have . "
thy gallop by-and-by.
Again ho stopped and made a half
turn ; again hesitated ; for the desire to
wheel , the desire to fly and turn no
more , had come upon him strongly ; but
only for an instant. Then quicifly un
willing to allow himself a moment to ro-
ficct , a moment to regret ho rose in his
stirrups , bent his body forward , and
the race began !
The wind cut his face , tears wet his
eyelashes ; but still ho went with dizzy
ing rapidity ; the trunks of the trees
passing him like specters. Nothing was
clear or distinct nothing but a vague ,
confused impression that it was his lifo
thus Hying from him in fragments.
But still ho went , and now it was the
noise of ti horse that ho believed ho
heard pursuing him. IIo turned in the
saddle nothing the noise was nothing
but the noise of the pebbles'that ' Ni-
nicho'u Hying feet cast behind her. But
this idea that a horse pursued him
pleased his fancy , set it going , and im
mediately lie imagined himself upon
the "track" and making the hist grand
round ! IIo hurried the pace of hits
mount !
The circuit of the clearing had twice
been passed ; the gait was frightful , but
the hedge was before him behind the
hedge ho divined it without seeing it
the precipice , with its jagged , rocky
sides ! Then ho felt himself at the end
of his breath the air lie swallowed
came from his panting lungs in shrill
whistlings !
In the twinkling of an eye ho had a
vision , n dim realization of that which
was to bo his death a fall into space
a complete failure of respiration.
A CUUMIINU 11LOW Ul'ON TUB UBADl
The idea of stopping nis mare crossed
his mind ; IIo bore the reins too latol
Already lie was upon tlio edge ! Ho
closed ills eyes ho abandoned himself ,
but , instinctively loosening the reins
and locking his legs according to his
habit when leaping obstacles.
He had a half consciousness of the
moment when Ninicho rose in the air ,
ho experienced n sense of relief ; it was
finished !
IIo forced lumsclf neither to hear , to
see nor to breathe , but ho bent his
spine as ono who awaits n volley of
blows from a cudgel ! He fell , ho
bounded , ho rolled ! How long it was ,
that bounding and rolling ; and then
that dull noise of a shock upon hard
ground that he hoard distinctly !
"I am swooning , " ho thought. "I
am " a cruel pain in his head recalled
him. "Ho had broken it ? Had ho "
but immediately there was a second
shock that shook him from head to foot
a sensation of rending and tearing
throughout his body. IIo remembered
that ho had fallen upon the railroad
undoubtedly a train had passed.
A TIIA1N THAT HAT ) CUT HIM IN TWO.
All his ideas were clouded a mist
before his eyes but ho was peaceful
and comfortable , very comfortable ho
wished to remain thus always always
ho knew no more !
Meanwhile ho had come to himself
again. About him was a whispering of
voices , as about a coffin.
"It is the interment I am dead
now ! " ho thought , and the conclusion
gave him a pleasure.
Suddenly ho felt himself lifted n
frightful nulling rent his vitals atro
cious agonies harassed him , tore and
rucked him.
Ho strove to cry out "My , " the
words strangled in his throat !
For the second time ho know no more
ho was dead ! "
