fall of I8GT found Austin , Nov. . a
town of nome 3,000 Inhabitants , re-
latin the Sail Pranclsco Chrculclc. A abort
year before a pony express rider found
some rich chlorldo silver ore In 1'ony can
yon , got drunk an a matter of course over
3ila good fortune and boasted of hln flnd
nnd exhibited his Bpeclmorfl. Within a
month there were over 100 prospectors delv

within a yrar a town whoae lota were elllng

That nllver ore running from $100 to $1,000
per ton was found In the recently discov
ered mines was undeniable , for every store
nnd mloon possessed a specimen of it. To
bo sure , the vein was of the "razor blade"
variety ; that Is , while many were very rich
they were also very narrow. IJut hope told
the flattering tale that when depth was at
tained they would Increase In sire. To be
Kure , the ore carried no gold , but this wns
before the perpetiatlon of "tho crime of ' " 3 , "
and ( diver was still good enough for any
body , so that made no difference In the
rush to the new Kl Dorado akng with the
miner ntid the trader came the gambler and
the "gun man , " as the Nevada tough was
called Pretty nearly every desperado of

flickered out with h's llfo bcfoio lln advent

political and ofllclal prominence Mo.se
Ilajnrs , the chairman of the Hoard of County
Coinmltsloncra of l.a-nder county , of which
Austin was the comity seat , was an e\-
hlghwajman who had escaped the peniten
tiary by peaching on bin pals when arrested
a couple of years before HU fellow com
missioners nhovved themselves worthy co
adjutors by ass'stlnK him to run the county

very little to show for It. Hut thatV another

And there wns n main killed cither on the

.AVlth the toughs and Killers who came to
Austin were two men who figure In this
story. One , Harncy Mulligan , came from
Sacrammto , where hn had a local reputation
ns a "bad man " There was an unlellncd
Imprcislon among mcci of his Ilk , however ,
that ho was more of a bluffer than a dead
game sport. One of llainei's strongest
claims to hlo reputation as a fighter was that
lie was a brother of the celebrated Hilly
Ululllgan of San Francisco , Dave Scannrll'a
old deputy when sheriff , who was expatriated
iby the vigilance committee.
Tilt ! COLn.MAN'-MULMGAN FEUD.
Now , there was uo denying that Hilly was
a man of neivo nnd mighty handy with ( its
Kun. Tom Colcinan was a. broid-ahouldered ,
Jieavy set Irishman , whoso pleavuit smllo
and Jovial inaiMior did not betoken tha tough.
QIo Had won his spurs on the levee at Sacva
anento na a steamboat runner in the early
days and had the rcputatloci of being a liad
mian to run up against.
That fall It was reported that new- mineral
liad bete found In a locality about ten miles
from Austin , and ( hero was a stampede to
the/ new mines. It wad determined to organ
ize a new mining -ll trlct and a mlciera *
mieeting was called for the purpose of enact
ing a cede of mining laws and of electing a
Kilning recorder. Now Hie office of raining
recorder In u now and llouilshlng district
jwas a rich piuni and much cought nfter.
There were two catidldatts for the position
and 0110 of them , In order to make lilt , calling
nnd election sure , had taken the precaution
of employing Harncy Mulligan and his bind
of roughs to "work" for him at the polls
j\s the election wns not governed by law mid
e y one that claimed to have located a mlnu
la the district could vote. It enabled liarncy
to get In some line nork , and up to noon
every thing was going his patrcti'o way. Karly
In the day tdi > candidate who was being
enowcd under by these tactics dropped on the
game and posted off to Austin , where ho se
cured the services of Tom Ccleman aud hi
( band of toughs to offset the efforts of the
iMulllgan gacig. Shortly after noon Colonial
and his cohoits appealed nnd the festivities
begfii. A dispute urcse os to the right of a
ivoter to exist his Ixillot and Colcman slapped
tulllgan's face and dared him to resent It ,
JMuiey weakened and with his forces with
drew from the field. Viom tlmt tltno It was
cafij salllnr for theColcman crowd , and , o
course , their camlli'ato was triumphantly
t'lcctctl. 'tho talk of the to\vu was not of the
election , but of the kisult to Mulligan ( ini
ns to what ho would do about It. The con-
.suihiis ot opinion was that ho would do
( nothing though eomo of hla admirals In
sisted that lu good time ho would summoi
Calcium to the Held of houcc that tile lusull

AOCOIMHNO TO THR CODE.
Soon It was rumored that Hilly Mllllgar
m-a ? coming by overland stage to revisit the
eccnofl ot his former greatness after his
hcven jeans of exile , and that he would stop
Jit nt Austin to visit his brother Baniej
Fhoitly It was announced that ho wai Ir
town , 11 nd the croud In and about the big
tttono saloon showed that something more
than usual wus on the tapis. It was Illlly
[ Mulligan holding a levee. At first ho was

a cold , snaky gray ojo betokened a man
whom It would be uimfo to enrage , and who ,
once aroused , would KO all lengths to wreak

Opinion was divided as to whether It woul <

the two factions were seen holding mya

the principal saloons , and toward night nl

Kccond In some ot the hostile meetings of
that period , was recognized n.i an authority

would novcr recognize anything so plebeian

Bcntlqmen. So a duel waa to bo , and the
when and where was knonn to the favored
few that night. It wart to be at the foot
ot the grade , about a mlle and a halt below
town the next morning at daylight.
ox THI : HATTMFIELD.
There was no effort on the part ot the
authorities to Interfere. The deputy
sheriffs resigned their offlcos that they might
attend , to resume their duties when the light
was over , and the sheriff himself expressed
hi * sorrow that ho could not send In his
resignation with a string to It so that ho
alto might participate. The would-bo ( spec
tators made airnngemcnts with the town
nollco to be called betlmca In the incr.n-
Ing nnd retired to rest. The ghostly dawn
of that autumn morning saw a procession of
about 200 men steal out of that llttlo moun
tain town and take their way down the
grade to the appointed battlefield. The
principals and their seconds were on tlmo
and the preliminaries were soon settled and
Clint I'.atchen , as master of ceremonies , an
nounced the terms of the conflict. The
principals were to bo placed ilfteen paces
apart , Ei-mcd with navy revel ers. They
were flrst to fire nt the word and then to
stand and fire at will until ono was disabled
or their weapons were empty The men
were placed In position , Mulligan hav
ing won the choice. The spectators were on
the hllUldu out of range The weapons ,
cocked , were placed In the hands ct the
urlnclnaki , In whom there were cio signs of
fear or nervousness. "Gentlemen , are you
eady ? " sung out Clint Patrhcn. "One , two ,
ro ! " Both of the men stood apparently un-
urt. "It's no fake , " said one of the
poctators , "for I saw the bullet from Mul-
Igan's pistol kick up the dust lu the road
ohlnd Colcman. "
Mulligan had been wounded In some
ircvlous affair In his pistol hand and was
< bllged to use his left hand In cocking his
ilstol. It was certainly a cool and graceful
uovclient with which ho performed this
unction. The pistols rang out again almost
Imultancously and the men stood a.n-
larcntly unharmed. Now , however , Cole-
nan had some trouble with his revolver. He
timed and faced his antagonist trying to
ivork his weapon. Mulligan saw that some-
hlng vv.m wrong and was quick to taka ad-
antnge ot It. iHeforo he had stood v Ith his
Ight sldo tow aid his antagonist when recclv-
ng his llro. Now he faced him. and , resting
: ils pistol on his left arm , took deliberate aim
before ho fired.
"HONOH" SATISFIED WITH HLOOD.
Uvory one expected to see Colcman drop
n his tracks , but fate was kind or Mulli
gan's aim wns bad , for he was not touched
Now one of the spectators saw the blooil
spurting from Coleman's right hand that lie
iad been wounded by Mulligan's second shot
and that was the reason that ho could network
work his revolver. IIo announced his dis
covery , declared that to proceed with the af-
'alr ' would bo murder , as Coleman was at
Mulligan's mercy , and drawing hie pistol
swore that ho would shoot the first of the
rincipals who would flro under tLo cir
cumstances. The other spectators backed
iltn with tongue and weapon , and a halt was
called In the piocccdlngs U was found that
Coleman's hand was so badly crippled that
t was Impossible to continue on equal terms ,
and Mulligan concluded that the blot on the
Mulligan honor was effaced by the blood
hat dropped from Coleman's good right hand
that hand that had slapped the Mulligan
face Tims ended the first , nnd the writer
thinks the only , duel that ever took place
In eastern Nevada. The principals wore
[ loomed neither ot them to porlsh on the
field of honor. Mulligan came to San Fran
cisco , and a few yeans after. In a homicidal
craze brought on by excessive drinking ,
< llled his best friend , Jack McNnb , who was
trying to placate him. The police , dcspair-
of arresting him , and fo.arful that ho
would kill others In his drunken frenzy , shot
ilm through the window of hi ; room. Tom
Joleman went to Plocho and was killed there
n a gun p'ay ' with some ono who wns a bot-
: cr shot.

O. J. Craven , a gentleman who left St.
Joseph , Mo , early In the winter for the
Alaskan gold fields and who reached Skag-
way and started Inland before ho discovered
ho had made a mistake. Is In the city. When
ho realbed what ho hid gone up against ho
and his companion turned back and ic-achod
Gairison yesterday. They stopped there nnd
this morning took the local train for Phil-
Ipsburg , where they will do their prospecting
for a time. The conversation was neces
sarily brief , but It v.as instructive. Mr.
Craven said :
" \\'o left St. Joseph with some money and
visions ot fortune. We outfitted at Seattle
and after waiting three weeks for a boat
reached Skag-way without any trouble. As
soon art possible ! we pushed on over the trail ,
but wo had gene only eight miles before
wo had enough of It. We had a good |
outfit a tent , blankets , sleeping bags , strong
clothing and provisions fcr a year and a halt.
The provisions wo left where wo turned
around , and they have probably gene to re-
llovo the hunger of some other pilgrim before -
fore th's. Our blankets and sleeping bags
wo brought with us. Our cxpcilenco cost
UH $900 apiece , and I do not think that wo
Khali try it again. Thcro Is plenty of room
up there for all who are going If they suc
ceed In getting in , but the trail Is blocked
for miles now and Is getting worse all the
time. The people In fi&nt have goiio as far
as they can get at present , end thu ones be
hind are simply packing In in the rear. Wo
saw a great ninny women and , htrango to
say , they seem to stand the trip better than
many of the men. All that Is necessary to
guard against Is the taking of cold.s. There
Is no othtr sickness at present nmong the
crowds. The weather I frightfully cold.
Ihose that eay it is mild up thcro do not
know what they nro talking about. I never
taw such cold weather lu Montana , and I
have been hero In some f your coldest
weather. The wind blows there with fearful
force Yon may not bellovo it , but It Is a
fnct , that I have scon the spray of the ocean
carried for miles Inland by the galea. It is
a hard climate.
"Thero Is quite n town at Skagway , mostly
tents. You can get a bed in a tent for $2 a
night. Wo preferred to pitch our own tent ,
and wo lived in that whllo wo were thero.
Travelers might ns well begin to rough It
Skagway as to wait longer , for they will
have to begin soon after they leave.
"I did not ECO any suffering from hunge" ,
as the people that I saw were the ones that
were just starting Inland , but wo came down
to Seattle with a mnn who had cleaned up
150,000 and who had come out from Daw son
City , nnd ho said that he passed hundreds of
n'tn on the trail who were begging for some
thing to cat. It Is Impossible to tiegln to re
lievo the wants of these poor men , as a man
will soon have nothing left for himself If
ho docs.
"U Is possible that wo will return to
Alaska later , but I do not think that we will.
Wo have decided to prospect hero In Mon
tana for a tlmo. This Is good enough for
us. We will etop at Now Chicago first and
go into the mountains from thcro. J tried
to talk with some of the men that I mot ,
who were on their way to Alaska , but it Is
not possible to make any Impression upon
them. They are determined to find out for
themselves , and they will certainly do so
before they have gone iur. "
