He was not elected and resumed his private practice. In 1893, Judge Doane wus one of the attorneys selected by the state legislature to prosecute articles of Impeachment against several state officers.

In the '"nineties" everybody on the Mexican Cential knew Mike Moran. He was a gigantic young Irish-American, standlpg about six-foot three In his stock ings, nnd proportioned like a hercules. He had Worked his way up from coal pasber to fireman, from fireman to freight engine-driver, and from freight to pas senger. Promotion was rapid twenty years ago on the Mexican Central. Mike's grand coup, that made his name known from El Paso to Oaxaca, was made when, as a "cub" engine-driver, he " was In charge of a gravel train during the construction of the Sullivan road, now known as the Mexican National. It happened at Acamtiovo, which was then the end of the line. The town was "wide open," as they say, with gambling, drinking and bull fighting as the standard amusements of the rollicking crowd of well paid adventurers who were rapidly pushing tho road to completion with the vim and energy that characterize the. American worklngman wherever he may be found. The usual Sunday afternoon bull fight found Mike, or "Don Miguel," as the ad miring peons of his gravel train called him, with a load of vino under hli belt, which he carried with ease and dignity, ab became his stature and position, al though there was enough of It to have put three smaller men asleep or crazy drunk, The first bull came Into the ring and, after passing through the usual tests of pli-a, capa and banderilla, was deftly killed by the chief bull fighter, or mata dor, with ono thrust through the heart It was all done In the most approved MIo of the art, but Mike, who had onca worked In a slaughter house In Kansas City, viewed the whole proceedings with contempt and disdain. "That ain't no way to kill a bull'" he growled, "let me get In that ring, and I ;l show 'em how we do It In Kansas City" No sooner thought of than done. lie forced his way Into the Inclosure which In every bull ring serves as a sort of greenroom for the performers, and, walking up to the picador, who was al ready mounted and read to go Into the ring, calmly pulled him from the saddle, regardless of the Indignant protests and threats of the man and his fellow per formers. Then dressing himself In the picador's costume, which he plucked from Its rightful owner very much as one picks a chicken, Mike leaped into the !he ring, where his train crew of Me. can shovel experts recognized him by his great bulk and received him with' storms of applause. The legitimate and! duly accredited bull fighters looked on In j a state of seml-stupefactlon from the greenroom door. The bull was a good one and appearea to be suffering from a distinct grievance as he cushed Into the ring like a roar ing Hon. Mike's huge bulk on tho starveling, weak-kneed mustang was the most prom inent object that met his eyes, and with out a moment's loss of time he charged. In an Instant the sharp point of the garocha (lance) was In his shoulder, and Mike gracefully and easily thanks to his wonderful strength held tho bull off, although his mount had a narrow escape from a fall. "Viva Don Miguel, Nuestro maqiUnt Ista!" howled the gravel train gang In chorus, "Hully for you. Jumbo!" .shouted Tom Foley, a fellow Irlsh-Anierican, above the din, "Stick him agin, Molke. Stick him agin!" came In rluh, sonorous accents from Paddy Chfferty, tho boss of the steam shovel outfit, while the rest of the crowd gave vent to yells of Inarticu late enthusiasm. Discomfited by the sharp reception he had met with, the bull retired a 'few yards and there stood pawing and toss ing his head, half frightened by the pandemonium on all sides of him. Mike, gracefully raising both hat and lance In salute, acknowledged the applause that was being showered upon him. .Quick as a finch the bull saw his chance, rushed In under his guard, and threw horse and rider over his back, the horse, in fulling, pinning Mike to the ground by his left leg. Fortunately Mike was unhurt, although the poor horse was finished. As the bull retired Bllghtly with lowered head, pre paratory to another charge, Mike ex tricated himself with a mighty pull from beneath his fallen charger nnd stood up. There was no time either to run or dodge. The bull had the right of way, and was coming "with the throttle wide open," as Mike described It after ward. A head-on collision, or something very like It, was bound to happen lit less than a second. Hut Mike was equal to the occasion. As the bull's horns came within reach of his long ariys, ho grasped a horn In each hand, and with -a llghtnlng-llke side twist, impossible to describe and requir ing Herculean strength and great skill to accomplish, threw tho animal to tno ground with a broken neck! ; GOING BEYOND EXPECTATIONS Omaha Alumni Banquet to Be At tended by More Than 300.
