2 BLOODY WESTERN DEEDS. SANGUINARY CAREER OF THE NOTED MATT RILEY. fhe Slayer of Numerous Men—He Is Slowly Passirg- Away In Sacramento His Adventurous Frontier Life. Sacramento Cor. .San Fraucieco Examiner. Matthew ltiley is a name that even at this lute day will send a cold chill through the bodies of those who knew him in the early history of the frontier States and Terri tories. It is a name connected with such deeds of blood and wild midnight raids as jilaee en tirely in the shade the most fanciful taler of the James boys or e\ er. the more renowned exploits of suv cold-blooded scoundrels as Joaquin Murietta or the noted \ asquez. Matthew Riley is the name of a man for whom the police authorities of Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas and Missouri have been searching high and low for ten years, hut it has remained for the “sleuth-hound” repoiter of the iheaminer to ferret him out of his hiding plate and drag him forth to the light, of day. holding him up so that all may see the tmr ■ hands dyed deep with the red blood of Ira victims. strict :n with disease. It does not seem so very long a time, yet m that space Matt Riley, gambler, despe rado, guerrilla and murderer, has gone down the hill of life at such a rapid rate that aay one of his numerous victims could at. the present tirr * crush him as easily as a pone of gle=> could Ite shivered with a stone. Paralysis has seized upon his once mighty frame and holds him in its crushing toils as though he were bound with chains of steel. For years he has been an inmate of the City and County Hospital of Sacramento. For years ho has been lying on his back unable to move from his tied, within a few hundred miles of those who were moving heaven and earth to place him within the clutches of the lawn RJLite's HISTORY. Riley was born i Arkansas in April, 1844, and is therefore 43 years of age. ■When the wac brute out he joined Quan treli's band of brt-whackers, and remained with them unr-i the burning of Lawrence, at the pillage of which place he obtained quite a sum of money, about SB,OOO. FLED FOR Ills LIFE. Having so much money in his possession he concluded that the life of a bandit was not to his liking, whereupon he deserted and fled to the Indian Nation, where he re mained some time, until in a quarrel he killed two Indians, and was compelled to fly for his life, leaving everything he possessed behind. After innumerable hardships he finally reached Texas, where he went to work driv ing mules for Scott, KeiT & Cos. BEGAN HIS CAREER AS A DESPERADO. Here he began his career as a desperado. It was during one of his trips that he went into a dance house in one of the small towns along the line of the Union Pacific road, and proceeded to fill himself with bug juice and to have a general good time, when the lover of one of the girls, with whom he was making too free, took exception to liis meth od and proceeded to empty his six-shooter into Riley. SHOT DOWN. The first shot struck him on the right side, glanced from the rib and made its exit near the backbone. The second shot struck him in the left leg, shattering the bone, and ren dered him unconscious for a brief time; but he revived to see his would-be murderer pass ing out the back door, and with a mighty effort he sueoeeded in drawing his pistol, took deliberate aim and fired. The result was the death of his foe, who fell in his tracks. HOVERING BETWEEN LIKE AND DEATH. For a long time Riley hovered between life and death, but, being a man of her culean frame and wonderful vitality, he pulled through, and from thence on became the desperado whose hands are stained with the blood of twenty men. A RED-HANDED MARSH Ato When he entirely recovered he went to Ellsworth, where he was made Marshal of the town. It was the general headquarters of the cowboys in that region. Here he killed two men, and was himself seriously wounded. That section becoming too warm for him, he once more migrated to Newton, Kan., where he joined forces with another notorious slayer of human beings named McCloskey. The wild frontier town was swarming with thieves, murderers and roughs of all classes, and men of indomitable courage being wanted to suppress them, ltiley and McCloskey were selected by the good citi zens as Marshal and Deputy Marshal. A BLOODY STREET AFFRAY. Within a few days their services became necessary. A street fight was inaugurated by some of the desperadoes, and the two adventurers lost uo time in flying to the scene, where they joined in the melee, with the result that three of the murderously in clined cowboys “bit the dust.” This event brought to the surface the in ordinate thirst for blood possessed by Riley. in the character of Marshal, and under the cloak of the law, he slew three men who, had he chosen, might have been taken alive, instead of being sent unprepared into the presence of their Maker. COWBOYS’ REVENGE. The companions of the dead cowboys vowed that their taking off should be avenged, and accordingly awaited a fitting opportunity. At last it came. Riley was oraered to pursue and capture some horse thieves who had been committing depreda tions around Newton, and expected to be absent about a week. Here was the much desired opportunity. The cowboys gathered together and con cluded to exterminate McCloskey. THE PLOT TO KILL M'CLOSKEY. For that purpose they proceeded to a dance-house owned by Riley and Mc- Closkey and started a row with the latter. A fight was an easy thing to find in those days, and in less’ time than it takes to write it McCloskey had taken umbrage at Hometiling a cow-boy had done, and draw ing his revolver he fired a shot. This was wliat the cow-boys wanted. In an instant every man's hand held an im- Blement of death. A volley was fired and fcCloskey fell riddled with bullets. As he lay bathed in his blood one of his murderers stepped forward anrl deliberately com mented emptying a revolver into his body. before the third ball bail left bis pistol the door of the dance-house was thrown ojieu aud a gigantic form was outlined against the sky. It was Riley. A CARNAGE OF BLOOD. The cowlxtys were dumbfounded, as they thought him miles away. Riley took in the situation at a glance, and springing forward he seized around the neck the man who was shooting into the body, and, throwing him before his body as a shield, he drew his own pistol and com menced a fusilude. Before he had finished seven men hail fal len dead beneath his aim. Of all the peiwons who were in the room when ho entered none were left to tell the tale. The reason of his sudden appearance was that Ids horse went lame before he hHd pro ceeded far on his journey, and ho was ac cordingly compelled to return to town. TOOK UP WITH CARD SHARPS. Out of this scrape Riley escaped without B scratch, although his clothes were riddled Wth bullets, ana his human shield was lit erally shot to atoms. Three weeks after this exploit he went to Council Bluffs, where he led in with a party of three-card monte named respectively “Dr.” C. L. Baggs •nd Johnny Sullivan. W ith these three -worthies he formed a partnership, and narted out to fleece the rcotiv© tucker,* v™n!S Pl,H<,r about this time Womulgetod an order to its employes to allow no known gambler to ride upon the cars, and so it came about that when the three partners boarded a train at Omaha they were told by the conductor tnat they would not be allowed to ride. Riley made the characteristic reply that if they did not ride the train would not leave. A FIGHT WITH RAILOAD POLICE. The conductor said that the train would leave, and sent for Capt. Paine of the rail road depot police. He, soon mode his ap j pea ranee, and seized Sullivan with the in [ tention of ejecting him, whereupon Riley drew his revolver and brought it down with crushing force on the officer’s head, fractur ing his skull so seriously that dor a long time he was confined to his bed. The other two gamblers also drew pistols, and the three of them drove the officers and passengers from the car, and amused them selves by perforating the ear with bullets. The officers secured reinforcements, but the desperadoes retreated, mid, after exchang ing a few harmless shots, escaped over the ice into Council Bluffs. Here the trio separated, Sullivan going to Chicago, where he was shortly afterward killed by a gambler named Devoe, while Baggs went to Kansas City, where he be came a millionaire, and where he now re sides. A CHOICE OF DEATHS. Riley proceeded to Salt lake Citv, where he fell in with the notorious Jack M’iggins. who was at one time under sentence of death in Utah. While under sentence Riley visited him and argued with him as to the mode of death he should prefer, a con demned man in Utah at that time having the choice of hanging, decapitation or of being shot. Wiggins wanted to !> hung mid Riley desired him to choose shooting, but Wiggins jiersisted, saying that he had seen a good many men shot and wanted to see how it felt to be hung. His desire was never realized, however, as Riley procured his escape from jail by means of a lasso, and he was never recaptured. MOST UNGRATEFUL. Wiggins afterward attempted to take Riley’s life, hut failed in the attempt. Later on Riley went to Saii Francisco, where he opened a bunko joint in conjunc tion with tne notorious Boston Charlie He continued in this business until at tacked by jiaralysis, in the toils of which malady he has since remained. RECKLESS TO THE LAST. When informed by the reporter that the officers of the law wore on his track he re plied; “I don’t care how soon they coine, and I don’t care a how soon they hang me.” CARDINAL GIBBONS SPEAKS. From His Throne He Gives Impressions of His European Trip. Baltimore, June 12.—The late mass at the cathedral to-day was sung bv the Very Rev. A. Magnien, assisted by two young clergymen from St. Mary’s Seminary. Car dinal Gibbons occupied his throne, and made a short address after the Gospel. In stead of following the text for the day, he gave a few impressions of his European trip, which, he said, was by far the most inter esting he had ever taken. “First of all,” said he, “I must speak of the Holy Father, who has conferred on this great archdiocese and upon my unworthy person the high office of Cardinal. Though he is deprived of his temporal possessions it can be safely said that to-day he exercises more power over the civilized world than any kmg or potentate, and although he has no military tiowers to back him his words are more conducive to peace than the ac tions of all the standing armies in Europe. In his case it can be truly said that his voice is mightier than the sword. He enjoys the love anil veneration of 250,000.000 of Cath olics scattered throughout the length and breadth of the world, and ho has the respect and esteem our separated brethren, who have not failed to recognize his many personal virtues, his benevolent character, and his broad, statesmanlike views. He has a spe cial regard for this republic of ours ami the citizens of the United States, which was am ply demonstrated during my sojourn in Rome. At the time there was a large num qer of Americans in the city, all or whom very naturally wished to see the Holy Father. I mentioned the fact to him at the next opportunity, and in reply he said he would indeed be much pleased to see them. When the visitors wore afterward presented they were charmed by his presence, and went away favorably impressed with all that he had said. Another illustration of his love for Americans was shown od Easter Tuesday, when all the Cardinals then in Rome paid their respects to His Holiness. He took that occasion to again speak of his great love for this country. . “On leaving Italy I went to France, for the purpose of visiting some of the mother houses which have branches in this arch diocese. You may be surprjged to know it, but it is nevertheless true, What there aro fifteen institutions in this city with parent homes in France. I next journeyed to Rhoims, where I was hospitably received by the Cardinal Archbishop. In Rheims, you are aware, all the Kings of France, from the fifth century to the time of Charles X., were crow ned and consecrated. Another circum stance which made the place particularly interesting is the fact that in Rheims the New Testament, now in use by the Catholic church, wns translated in the latter part of the sixteenth century by the Rev. William Allen, a former professor of Oxford University. I have said so much about France because she bus done so much for religion, and contributed in no small de gree to American independence. Hardly a State in this country has not been tramped over by French missionaries. When the storm of oppression raged over France it carried to our shores clergymen and mis sionaries who left behind them the impress of their zeal and sanctity. It is true there is much infidelity in France to-day, but under that frothy surface there is a current of strong feeling for the Holy Father. For my part, when I consider the large sums of money annually placed by France at the feet of the Holy Father for the propagation of the faith; when I consider the number of disinterested ladies and gentlemen from the highest walks of life who w-ork for the church with so much unselfish devotion, I say with all my heart that France need never despair. “I have not time to enumerate the nmny pleasant incidents connected with iny trip through England, Ireland, .Scotland and Holland, but I observed in my travels through those countries that the social and material condition of America will not suf fer by comparison. Whatever may be the grievances of the laboring classes here, I believe our men are better paid, better clothed, better housed, and nave fairer prospect* than those of any other nation I visited. “I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for the kind reception you all gave me last Tuesday. It did my heart good as I saw through the long line of Knights the ban ner of our religion and the banner of our country. I always wish to see those two flags lovingly entwined, for no one can be faithful to God without lieing faithful to his country. Header unto Ca>sar the things which are Caesar's and to God the things which ai*e God's. All of us share* Tti the benefits of this Commonwealth, which gives us liberty without license; therefore all of us should uphold it. The man who would undermine the Constitution of this country is fit for the punishment of the mad who would seek to attack the urk of God. There are some— thank God, very few—called Anarchists anil Nihilists, who, like Hampson of old, would pull down the edifice of our Consti tution, even though they, too, perished. May the Almighty God preserve our coun try and give us always peuco and pros perity.” After aguin expressing thanks for the hearty recaption tendered him last week, the Cardinal left the pulpit.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1887. ON THIUCONGO. RAPID PROGRESS OF THE SANFORD EXPLORING EXPEDITION. Four Stations Already Secured for Lieut. Taunt's Trading Posts—He Em ploys First-Class Agents to Man Them His Steamboat. t'rom the New York Sun. It is an interesting fact that the commer cial enterprise on the Upper Congo, which is developing most rapidly, is managed and in | 'art controlled by Americans. It Is the Sanfonl exploring expedition, and its busi ness headquarters are in Brussels. Mr. San ford, formerly our Minister to Belgium, is at the head of the enterprise, and Lieut. Taunt, formerly of the United States Navy, is its manager on the Congo. Two Belgian capitalists, Mr. Jules Malon and Senator Monteflore-Levy. are its largest financial supporters. Its fii-st consignment of the ex portable articles of the Upper Congo has al ready reached Europe. Lieut. Taunt’s ambitious project has more than once been mentioned in the Sun. but its details are revealed only as they are car ried into effect on the Upper Congo. Its purpose is to find the liest places at which to establish commercial stations on the Upjier Congo and its affluents, and to erect in these places the necessary storehouses and other buildings, put them in charge of commer cial agents, and barter manufactured prod ucts for ivory. India-rubber, and palm oil of the natives. It lias been the first trading company to launch a steamboat on the up per river, aud the first to have more than a single station. The Dutch and French trading companies that have pushed up the river to Stanley Pool have not vet got Iteyond that point. The Sanford Company, however, has not only built a fine station at Kinshasha, but it has also purchased the stations and build ings of the Congo State nt Manyanga, Equa torville and Luebo. Manyanga is in the ('ataraet region below Stanley Fool, and all Congo travelers speak of its great native market, where the tribes gather from far and near to exchange their wares. A fine picture of Equatorville appears in Stanley’s latest book. Until the Free State decided that it no longer needed a post at this point, Equatorville had the name of being the finest white station on the upper river. The station of Luebo is near the great Kassni river, on its Lulua affluent, in the midst of a great ivory-producing region, and about GOO miles by steamer from Stanley Pool. Lieut. Taunt expected by this time to have taken possession of this commercial outpost far south of the Congo, but the necessities of the Stanley expedition inter fered with his plans. Before his machinists were able to put the engine into his fine new vessel, the Florida, the Emin Pasha expe dition reached Stanley pool, and the hulk was at once crowded with men and goods and taken in tow to Stanley Falls. When the Florida returns to the pool her machinery will be put in place, and then Lieut. Taunt expects to push far up the Kassai. There is little doubt that his enterprise will lie the pioneer commercial expedition in the region of whose ivory resources a half dozen ex plorers have written such accounts. This costly enterprise of course gives em ployment to a considerable body of white men. Americans, Belgians and English men are now on Lieut. Taunt's pay roll, and almost every steamer for the Cogo’ takes out oiM> or more recruits for his several stations. His best men are those who have already had long experience on the river and have proved their ability to withstand its trying clsnmte. The oldest man on the Congo in point of continuous service is Mr. Legat, who, as an agent of the Congo State, has been hard at work there for five years. In that time he has had charge of tliree different stations, and his health has invariably been excellent. While in Europe this spring on a brief vacation the Sanford Company made him a good offer, and he is now returning to Africa in its service to take charge of Lieut. Taunt’s commercial establishment at Luebo. Seven other men who have been amoag the best agents of the Congo State, three of whom Stanley praises highly in liis last, book for their signal ser viocs, have taken employment with the San ford Company. It is only six .yearn since Stanley invaded the solitude of Stanley Pool, after strug gling nearly two years to reach that gate way to the Upper Congo. Now ten white establishments, embracing Congo State stations and trading and missionary posts here and there, dot the shores of the pool. The houses are comfortable. Euroiiean veg etables thrive in the gardens, aud tne savage wilderness is becoming the home of *civilza tion and the scene of thrift and industry. “Give us the railroad,” writes from Leo poldville an American agent of the Sanford Company, “and we will build a second Chi cago here.” Such enthusiasm is likely to excite a smile. Nevertheless, when Stanley Pool is made easily accessible, a network of 7,000 miles of navigable water ways will be open to the commerce of the world; and unless all the friends of the great Congo enterprise are visionary fools there is a bright future ahead of the settlements at the pool. The large party of engineers which sailed from Antwerp early last month to survey a route for the proposed railroad probably arrived at the Congo aliout June .5. It is their purpose to divide into three surveying parties, and follow different routes from Matadi to Stanley Pool. Arriving at that point, they will compare notes and decide upon the best route for tho proposed rail road. TRACK EVENTB. The Brooklyn Derby Easily Won by Hanover in 2:43V6.
