One evening when the stagecoach
stopped at the tavern at 11.. a town in
Mew Mexico, a melancholy looking
man alighted, with no baggage but a
gripsack In h;'.s band, and, being re
ceived by the landlord, the two went
Inside together.
“Landlord." said the stranger. "I
have come out here from the east to
settle and try to make a living. I
have been recommended to this town,
among others, as one likely to grow,
and I've concluded to put in my stake
here, but I haven't a cent. It's better
to toll you this In the beginning than
to stay with you awhile and then have
you turn me out for nonpayment of
board. I’m an educated physician and
hope to gather a practice. If you’ll
board me while I'm getting patients
I’ll pay as I get In fees."
"That's just the kind of man we
want out here." replied the landlord.
“I like the frank way you put the
ense. It shall not be said that Jim
Henderson refused to help any man
coming into New Mexico to try to
make a living. Most of our people
who have come here from the east
hnve come strapped. If they hadn’t
been strapped they wouldn’t have
come. But 1 don’t remember nny of
them that hnve been as frank about it
as you hnve. Enter your name on the
register; supper is ready, and after
you’ve filled up I'll show you to n
room.”
The newcomer thanked the landlord
for his kindness and entered his name
as “Dr. George Atwater, City."
"I see you don’t give the point you
hall from." snid the landlord.
“What's the use? I’m a citizen of
this tow T n."
“So you are—so you nre. Nobody
here cares where anybody comes from
or what he’s done elsewhere so long
as he behaves himself after he gets
here.”
Dr. Atwater was recommended by
Henderson, the landlord, and occasion
ally got a case in some one of the
guests of the tavern. He became popu
lar in the town and would have suc
ceeded had there been more people or
a greater proportion of invalids there.
But B. did not grow as fast as had
been expected and was a very health
ful pluce. Atwater managed to pay his
board by turning over a fee when he
got one. but after he had been nt the
tavern about a year there came au in
terval when not a person in the town
was ill. and. there being no fees, there
was no money to pay board.
In new countries where there is no
law the punishment for crime is usual
ly ussumed by a vigilance committee.
There may be conditions of society
where a vigilance committee is better
than no law or even poorly adminis
tered law, but after all Judge Lynch is
but a return to barbarous methods.
There were at this time more or less
shooting going on among the citizens
of New Mexico and considerable horse
stealing. There was no objection to
the shooting so long as each man had
a fair chance, but the horse stealing
was bitterly condemned. A vigilance
committee was organized to punish
murderers and especially horse thieves.
Since shooting them Was not con
sidered murder the principal business
of the committee was catching and
punishing horse thieves.
One day Bill Evans, one of the com
mittee, entered the barroom and of
fice combined of the tavern. Hender
son was sitting by the stove with his
back to the door, while Dr. Atwater
was leaning against the bar. Evans
came in just in time to hear Hender
son say to the doctor:
"You haven't paid any board in four
months.”
That was all the conversation Evans
heal'd, for Henderson, hearing a step,
turned, and the doctor left the room.
The remark made no further impres
sion on Evans than to acquaint him
with the fact that Atwater was in debt
for his board.
One day Dr. Atwater received a let
ter that seemed to produce a marked
effect upou him. After reading it he
put it buck in its envelope without re
mark, but Henderson, who was with
him at the time, noticed that he had
received some unwelcome news. The
landlord, however, was not a man to
pry Into other people’s affairs and made
no’ mention of the matter to the doctor.
It was not long after this that a
summons came in the middle of the
night for Dr. Atwater to attend an In
valid. lie went on his errand and did
not return. When a week elapsed and
nothing was seen or heard of him
people begun to talk about the ense.
Curiosity was the chief Incentive to
debate the matter, and all speculated
upon a reason for the mysterious dis
appearance. No possible clew to the
cause of his going away was sug
gested until Bill Evans told of the re
mark he had overheard when he had
suddenly entered the tavern and
found Henderson and Atwater to
gether. He told it simply as it has
been told here, but when it was re
pented it was given as follows:
“Bill Evans come on ’em all of a
suddint an’ heart) Henderson nbtudn
the doctor ’cause be woudn’t pay no
boa rd."
The next version was that Evans
had reported a quarrel between the
two men. In which Henderson was
abusing the doctor about an unpaid
board bill.
It was at last reported Hint Hender
son had Atwater on the iioor, pum-
niellng him and demanding money
from him.
The citizens of R. began to keep
away from the tavern, except when
they went there to see If the murderer
showed any signs of a guilty con
science. Strangers who knew nothing
of the stigma hanging over the house
still came and went. When Hender
son met his former friends on the
street they looked at him askance and
passed by on the other side, regarding
him as having blood on his hands.
There was hardly a citizen of B. but
pictured the popular physician follow
ed by the man to whom he owed
money, struck from behind and drag
ged into an. empty Held near the
house, where the sick man was wait
ing for hitu. Curiosity to know how
Henderson had contrived to get rid
of the body here came in and added
fuel to tho Home.
One morning just before daybreak
Henderson’s wife heard the sound of
horses’ hoofs without. She nwnkened
her husband, who arose and, looking
out through the window, saw that the
house was surrounded by mounted
masked men. Then there was a rap nt
tho door.
Henderson went down to answer the
summons and asked what was wanted.
A man—leader of the vigilnnce com
mittee—entered. forced Henderson to
dress and despite tho pleadings of his
wife and children took him from the
house and down tho road for a short
distance, where they stopped under a
tree.
"Confess that you murdered Dr. At-
wnter.” snid the lender.
“I did not.”
A rope was produced, placed around
Hendersou’s neck and the other end
thrown over n limb of tho tree. The
culprit was again called on to confess,
but persisted In Ills Innocence. He
was drawn up slowly until he became
unconscious, then lowered and when
revived called on again to confess.
Believing thnt he would not live
through another such ordeal. Hender
son to gain time admitted thnt he had
murdered Atwater, but that two other
men were Implicated with him. If
they would give him n trial by law he
would make plain the whole scheme,
which was to force the doctor to tell
them where he had buried a large sum
of money.
The committee—there were ten of
them—consulted together and agreed
that it would be well to get the whole
story and to do tills had better stop
the proceedings. So. taking off their
masks, which, now thut Henderson
had confessed, were not necessnry,
they took him to the jail and turned
him over to the sheriff.
Henderson secured one delay after
another, while be sent out statements
of his case to editors all over the coun
try begging them to publish it in the
hope that Dr. Atwater would see It
and come back to save him. Several
months passed, and nothing came of
this effort. At Inst Henderson could
find no excuse to put his trial off long
er and made up his mind that, having
confessed, he would hnve to swing.
The trial came off. and, having in
vented the story implicating others, he
confessed ns much, giving as n reason
thnt had he not done so he wourd have
been put to death.
The feeling ran so high against him
thut. though the judge charged the
jury that there was no renl evidence
agqjnst the prisoner and though four
of the twelve jurymen at first voted
for an acquittal, a verdict of guilty
was handed In by the foreman.
Scarcely was the word spoken when
n man was seen elbowing Ills way
through the crowd, and when he broke
into the open space occupied by the
lawyers an exclamation of astonish
ment burst forth. He was Dr. At
water. the supposedly murdered man.
Atwater had seen one of the notices
of the position in which lie had placed
the man who had befriended him and
liastenedcto save him. The reason of
his coming to B. and of his disap
pearance from there was that he had
had trouble with his wife and had been
directed by the court to pay her
alimony which had loaded him with
debt. To escape from further demands
he had gone west and practiced his
profession under an assumed name,
The letter he had received which had
disconcerted him was from his brother
notifying him that his wife had learn
ed of his whereabouts. When called
out on the night of his disappearance,
Instead of going to visit the patient he
had traveled till morning, turning up,
after several weeks’ shifting, in nn
other locality and under another name,
Before leaving the courthouse Hen
derson entered a eompluint against the
ttin members of thb vigilance commit
tee for “felonious attack with intent to
kill.” claiming $10,000 from each and
every one of them for barbarous and
Inhuman treatment. They were all ar
rested the same afternoon and lodged
In the same jail In which Henderson
had been confined. Some of them se
cured ball and were 111k*rated; others
remained In confinement until the mat
ter was settled.
Those who were, free met together
and sent one of their number to Hen
derson with a proposition to pay him
on behalf of sill the committee fit) per
cent of his demands If he would with
draw his charge. He declined the
proposition. A meeting of citizens was
called and the full amount of the claim
raised by subscription. It was paid
over to Henderson within sixty days,
and he withdrew his suit.
Henderson paid the doctor’s arrears
for alimony, after which he, his wife
and children and the doctor all disap
peered and never were seen In B.
again. It is said thnt Henderson Is a
grape grower In California and that
the doctor Is practicing medicine In
some foreign country.
