A LYNCHING BFB AT RAWLINS, And the Escape of Joe Chambers From the Gallo w . From the ilnil and Express. ■For many years Ogalalla, on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad, held the dis tinction of being considered by Western men the worst place between the oceans un til Rawlins came into prominence. I passed one night in Rawlins in the fall of 1878, and then I came to the conclusion that life in any other town wonld be tame and with out excitement in comparison with tho pleasures which that place could afford. Ko one alighting from the ears in the quiet street in Rawlins would believe that the many stories of bloodshed told of it were true. On one side of the railroad track stood a big baj'n-liko building called the United States Hotel, and on the other a row of twenty or thirty one-story frame houses, almost every one of which was a barroom with a gambling house attached. Over the uOor hung such signs as "The Cowboys’ Re treat," “The Divan,” and “The Frontiers man’s Delight.” Behind the town on the top of a hill was situated tho city grave yard ; an immense cross, which could be seen from a great distance, stood at the top of the hill and served as a landmark for trav elers for miles and miles across tho barren prairies. That graveyard was the pride of every man that lived in Rawlins. The inhabitants watched it grow-, and pointed with pleasure to the fact that there was hardly a man taking his final rest thore who had not come to his death hy vio lence. It was toward afternoon whon I halted iny horse in front of the United States Hotel after a forty-mile ride. Heavilv armed men stood about in groups. The looks thrown at nio were far from reassuring, but I pretend ed not to see them, and hastened into the hotel. Hardly had I taken my seat in the dining room when four men, evidently forming a delegation, approached me. They demanded my business, and what brought mo to Rawlins, in a way which left me no alternative but to answer. My answers seemed satisfactory, and one of them in formed me tho reason of their curiosity. They had some idea that I was a Deputy Sheriff, and frankly told me that if I bad been I should have been escorted out of town, as no government officers were wanted about Rawlins that night. They further informed me that there was to be one of the prettiest lynching bees in town that night that had ever taken place. Three men had come to Rawlins ten weeks before, and had taken the town by storm. They had made their headquarters at a tavern almost opposite the hotel, and had levied a tax on every ope who entered, Anybody why objected to paying or stand ing treat was beaten, and when resistance ■was shown pistols were used. Ten men had received their death wounds from these three then, and the town had determined to set an example to all such characters by lianging the three without further cere mony. It was not easy, however, to accom plish this, as they were intrenched in the barroom and refused to come out or to allow any one to enter. It had been determined to dislodge them that night, in spite of all resistance, and I was invited to take part in the affair. The three men were named Joseph Chambers, Jack AVillis, and Vat Simmons, and were desperate outlaws with large sums upon their heads. J ust at dark the citizens at Rawlins pre pared for battle. The attacking parties were divided into two forces. One approached the point of attack from the rear, while the larger number marched up to the front, All the citizens wore handkerchiefs over their faces. I was with the main body of attackers, or rather behind it. We were brought to a sudden halt by a rifle shot from one of the windows of the besieged house, and one of our leaders fell. Every means was tried to dislodge the three men, but to no purpose. Every time the slightest ad vance was made their rifles rang out, and someone on our side dropped. At last a small man slipped up in the shadow of the adjacent buildings, and threw a lighted can of kerosene under the building, Soon it be gan to burn, but still the men would not come out. At last the house was enveloped in dames, and the three men were obliged to make a rush for their lives. They were half blinded by the heat and smoke of the burning; so they were quickly cap tured. Then all of the citizens of Rawlins, not excepting the women and children, formed is line aud marched quietly down to the cattle pens, where an old dead tree stood which had served several times as a gallows. A rope had been brought along, and it was quickly thrown over a branch, and every thing was ready for the hanging, It was at first intended to dispose of all three at tho same time, but there • was not enough rope, so it was decided to hang one at a time. Jack Willis was the first to be strung up; his end was hastened by a dozen bullets which were fired inlp the body while it was still withering. AVat Simmons was then disposed of, and then came the turn of Joseph Chambers, the leader of the gang. Just as he was led under the tree he made a sign that he had something to say. The gag was removed from his mouth and he said: “If you will take this rope from round my neck and slightly loosen these bonds, I will tell you men something that will interest you aIL” There seemed no danger with so many on guard, so his request was complied with. AVlien his fetters were loosened he rose, stretched himself, and began his speech: "You are a set of and villains," he yelled, “and you can all go to h Ue knocked down tho two men nearest to him and made a dash for the sago brush on the open prairie. All the horses were left outside the barroom when the desperadoes were captured. Some few men, however, dashed into the sage after Chambers, which made it iinjwssible for the men un der the tree to use their guns lest they hit some of the pursuers. After an hour’s useless chase tne hunt was given up for the night. A daylight tho next morning a ranch man rode into Rawlins and electrified the town by saying that he had seen Chambers near Fort Fred Steed, sixteen iqifos below. He said he had just finished his breakfast, after spending the night at a small house on the banks of the Platte river, when a hat less man, whom he recognized as Chambers, came in and demanded shelter. The ranch man suspected that something was wrong from the man’s manner, and at once started for Rawlins to give the alarm. Thirty men immediately saddled their horses and started in pursuit of the man thev had vowed to hang. As they approached the hut a man approached tho door with a AVinchester rifle iu his hand. Without a word he opened fire on the advancing party. Two men.dropped from their saddles, and as the rest ot the party put spurs to their horses and dashed toward the hut, Chambers, who had done the shooting, rushed down the hill and plunged into the Platte. There had been heavy rains, aud the river was a torrent, which made it seem impossible that a man could reach the other side alive. All the the horsemen, however, drew up along the bank and waited with guns in readiness to shoot Chambers, should he by any chance get across. They waited for half an hour, and as there was no sight of him they re turned to 1 a vlins. That afternoon the other two i e peradoes wore buried in .what is kuown as murderous’ row, and beside the grave was placed a board to the memory of “Joseph Chambers drowned iu the Platte whilo escaping cap ture.” Two years after leaving Rawlins I chanced to be in Abilene, Tex. A man passed me on the street one day whose face was strangely familiar, T turned to my companion and asked who it was. “Tnat,” said he, “is Joe Chambers, one of our most respected citizens.” Suddenly the scene of the lynch ing at Rawlins came bock to me, and I knew that the last t ime I had seen that man he was standing under a tr> with a rope round his neck. I told my friend the story, and he evidently doubted my sanity, if not my veracity. He told me that Chambers came to Abilene when the town was first started. He invested money’ in town lots and made a fortune. He was a promoter of schools and churches, and was talked of-for the next Mayor. That night I was at my hotel when a tall man with a slouch hat wandered in. He looked round and then came straight to me. “Are you the man,” he said, “who has been telling a yarn about Joe Chambers be ing lynched?’ , I acknowledged that I was. “Well,’' he replied, “Joe told me to tell you that he’d shoot you on sight if you were m town to-morrow.” Two hours later I was taking a night ride across the prairies. JAY GOULD’S SISTER. She Teaches School and His Old Sweet heart Keeps a Boarding House. Philadelphia, Correspondence Chicago Tribune. The mild-looking, rather petite, but dig nified woman just passing must have been quite pretty in her youth, though she never probably could have beeu called handsome. There is a certain something,however, about her—a sweetness in her looks and manner— that is more charming in a woman of her years than any remains of physical beauty would be. She is very simply attired in black, aud a black bonnet modestly covers her silvery-gray hair. Who is she? She is Jay Gould’s sister. She has come over from her home in Camden—a quiet little town across the river—to do some shopping probably. One often meets her in the busy streets, but as her identity' is known to few, she escapes the ogling and comment that she would otherwise be subjected to. She is not rich, by any means. Indeed, aside from a moderate allowance that the speculating Croesus makes her, she de rives her living from a school for girls that her daughters conduct. The school, it is said, is an excellent one, and, Gould-like, it gets the cream of the business in South Jersey. The school-house was erected at Jay Gould’s expense. Jay knew that his sister had not married well from a financial point of view, and that her daughters were strug gling for a living, but he was too busy pil ing up his millions to give the matter much personal attention. But his wife had her eye on the girls, and she was so pleased with their earnestness that she brought, the mat • ter to the attention of her husband and in sisted on his building the girls a school. Gould did not object, and, now that his at tention was directed to the matter, he gave orders that no expense should be spared in making the building a mode, one in every respect. He himself takes so much pride in it and in the success of the nieces as any one whenever he permits himself the luxury of five minutes’ thought on a subject so far removed from stocks and bonds. His sister and the girls were spending part of the sum mer up at Plattsburg, N. Y., with Jay Gould’s first love, who keeps a boarding house up there. She is elderly and gray haired now’, and is not strikingly hand some, but in her day she was blithesome and pretty. She was the daughter of a country store-keeper. Jay Gould, after leaving his father’s farm, went to work in the store, and promptly fell in love with the rosy - cheeked maiden. But the old man had much higher views of his daughter’s future than a marriage with a young man in his own shop would realize. He not only gave young Gould to understand that a marriage was out of tho question, but dispensed with his service as well. Jay took his rejection philosophically enough and gave himself up to the work of making a fortune. While he was growing richer and richer and piling million on million his old love was vainly trying to battle with misfortune. Her father, who had plumed himself so proudly on the ownership of his “general store,” failed, the husband whom she took after Jay Gould had gone away brought little to her: and at the end she endeavors to eke eut an income by opening her house to summer boarders. She has a wondrous amount of philosophy in her make up and very little envy. She is bright, good-natured and con tented with what fortune has brought—or ought one to say left—her. Some of Jay Gould’s relatives spend a few weeks at her farm-house every year, but Jay himself never goes there. SOME FACTS ABOUT ALCOHOL. Its Effect on Health and Morality. The following statements made by M. de Flaix are deserving, says a medical journal, tho consideration of students of the alcohol question. M. de Flaix says: “The birth rate is less and the mortality greater in the departments where the consumption of alcohol is small; that neither crime nor suicide is in proportion to alcoholic con sumption. Thus in the Seine-Inferieure the consumption of alcohol is three times that in the Nord; but suicide is only twice as frequent. In the Pas-de-Calais the con sumption is twice as great as that of the Nord, while suicide is two and a half times less. In the Seine-et-Oise the con sumption is one-half less than that of the Seine-Inferieure, but suicide in the former is twice that of the latter.” Comparing different nations, he says: “France consumes less alcohol than the United Kingdom; its birth-rato is less, and its mortality, criminality and suicide rates are greater. Italy consumes very little alcohol; its criminality is appalling ;rffra i/ante). Spain consumes three times less alcohol than Italy; its criminality is double. Sweden, Denmark and Norway, with a population of about one-third, consume four times the quantity of alcohol con sumed in Italy, and yet the criminality of the former is very small, while that of the latter is appalling (effrayan te) . Russia con sumes four times the alcohol of France; its birth rate is almost double. Thus, all the hypotheses are upset; the most vigorous, the richest, and the most moral of the na tions are those which consume most alcohol. The prediction that alcohol will destroy civilization and the human race is not sup ported by facts. If France, whose vitality is undergoing a crisis, were among the na tions which consume most alcohol, she would serve as an excellent argument; but the consumption of alcohol by France is moderate, and it has been established al ready that those parts of France are the most vigorous where the consumption.of alcohol is greatest.” For Throat Diseases aud Cough* use Brown's Bronchial Troches.
