HE DIED GAME.
It was out in Arizona. An out¬
fit had come to do some work on
the new barracks at the fort, and
they were an onery set, you bet. —
They were getting 83.50 a day, and
when orders came out from Imad
qaurters to rush tWngr rt the poat
they up and struck for f-4, ait rev
ery man of them had signed an
agreement to work for §3.00. The
contractor mounted hi, mustang
and , rode , over to where , the gang
was hanging out. I happened to
be there when he came up.
5 What’s “ the “ row here?” he asked.
We enu t work . for , no §3.o0, ,
says the leader.
“What do you moan by that?”
We want $4.”
“Struck, have you? Struck?—
Get to The work, first every blr.m. I t'*>‘ d j one of
you. “ »J'»

The contractor had leveled dead
et the man —but he only had one
'
shot in his gun.
Zip!—zip! 1 1 zip zip! . .
m. The red . shirt , . . was down j at , tho ,,
first shot, with his “seven-up” out
as he struck the gravel.
Up he hoisted on his left elbow;
thon he banged away while the
contractor did some lively dodging;
that was the last three zips.
The red shiat rolled over, and the
contractor asked me if there was
any doctor around. 1 said, “yes,
over at the quarters.”
“He got the last one into me,
sure; lot’s see the doc.”
Wo went over and found the doc¬
tor. I got the contractor on my bed,
skinned off his clothes, washed
away the blood, and the surgeon
probed him. It was a bad hole in
the left lung.
“I guess it’s an uglv wound, doc?
Dead sure thing, eh ? Yes, I thought
•o. How long have I got?”
It was one o’clock, then.
“You’ll last ’till evening.”
“That’s all right. But did T fetch

He wanted me to take charge oi
the 820,000 in gold notes in his belt
and write to his brother. After that
he called for a square drink and
gotil Next he must . have i the ton- ,

geon said- “It didn t make no dif

expressed his satisfaction that eye
rything was lovely', passed a few
more compliments about that red
haired blankety-blank who Avas fix

game, though, you bet.
Tlte really curious thing was, that
when we set on that red-haired
ker , there just . . hole , , . him, , .
was one in
and that was plump through his
heart. How he hoisted upon that
off arm of his’n and set that con
tractor to dodging them three shots,
. beat the , whole , , outfit , -coroner , s
inquest, post surgeon and me. But
he did -I 11 swear to that- and 1

Sew York. I
A great many customs surround
a hanging in New York. They have
been modified by law, which allows
only the sheriff and his assistants,
twenty deputy sheriffs, a sheriffs
jury, the judges - i of fo the higuer i- . courts
and the district attorney, ttie doc- ;
tors and the hangmen to be pres
ent.
Formerly the coroner couhl bring
art of his friends as jurors, . and ,

The reporters acted as both
sheriffs and coroner’s jury at Clia
con’s hanging. It is customary for
the sheriff to present the mail to be
hanged, when he is poor, with a
black suit to be hanged in. ihe

dart, , . and , the under sher ifs has , a
crook. . mi The j two swords ii have not ,
been carried to a hanging for a long
time. No matter where in the State

of trying to have a hanging with

They are a relic of colonial days,
when a hang would draw as large j
an assemblage as a circus, and the
