THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA, GA-i TUESDAY MARCH 9 1883
SETH CLEPHTON’S NEW HAND.
CHAPTER I.
Before Hie her of Towner’* ulooa, Eotna-
nu Station, New Mexico, were Mated twelve
men. It wu late In the afternoon, ht the
Biddle of winter, eonaequenUj every men ext
a* near the *tov* aa poaeib!*; and In the open
cavitylbelow tbegrete intended (hr the re
ception of asle* warn iteadlly deepening res
ervoir of tobacco Juice. The appearance of
then men were not remarkable or striking tp
any but a very experienced eye. Their faces
were giim and rongh, tanned to dinky brown
er reddened to the hue of newly baked bricks
|iy exposers to snn and wind; but
are those of all men living on tho prairies,
Their clothes, ■ of. serviceable gray bnok-
sklu or Mown-- eanvasr -had many dark
stains about them, scarcely caused by grease
or dirt; and at their aides hung revolvers or
knives, from which one land st least was never
for away; bnt the tame thing Is to bo teen In I
all western men who batcher their own etoek,
and carry pistols at a customary precaution
against accidents. Nevertheless, In spite ef
(heir ordinary appearance, these Individuals
were public character*; one end ell were des-
poredoet of the wont end moot dangerous
type, who committed crimes m often es they
got the chance, the mention of which would,
make many an English criminal shudder.
Thera was no ono else In Towner’s saloon
but these worthies. Even th* saloon-keeper
had departed into eprirete room, in obedi
ence lo s sign bom bit patron, Doth Clspkton,
the captain of th* geng which bore bit name,
and who by right of bis unerring aim with
pistol und rifle, and e long catslogne of well-
executed, diabolical raids upon the more re-.
Miectuhle portion of western society, was wor-
pretence among
them tudur proven to uic desperadoes congre
gated iu Towner’s saloon that sometMpg im
portant was in tho wind. This great fun was
* little, active fellow of middle height, with a
nose or very aristocratic shape, light brown
eyee, set extremely near together, a long,
euunro r bln, Indicative of determination and
obstinate strength of will, and a mouth with
cutlotisly mobile line, the movements of which
completely controlled tho expression of their
owner’s lace—at ono moment giving it n look
of tho coarsest, most lepulalvt sensuality; at
another, when they were compressed, causing
It to ssMim* ah expression or resolution and
intensity of purpose few men would bn dis
posed or able to resist.
At this moment, sstbssaloon-keeper diinn-
S ilted, Rctli cast his eye* upon the men In
out of him, and spoke in a low, eiuphetle
voice, ns sharp, curt, and decisive in tone
at cvrr was that of XapoUon I when ad
dressing his marshals before some great cam
paign.
“Boys, we are going to bavu h new band;
an Englishman, youug, good rider, fair shut,
net ves I ike steel, aa desperate as a treed Wild

liavo your opinion upon him before 1 set Him

“Was that wbat yon mot u» hare, fur,

speaker paused; this man waa tho Olileet
present, and did not seem to stand in as
smith owe of the captain M his fallows.

“Tea, yea,” growled Jed, doubtful still, but
now apologetic, 'T ho, I see. But, Seth, look

I thought yon—"
"Shut down there, Jed." The passion Both
bail so well controlled now become obvious by,
the hoarseness of his voice; but he atilt spoke
distinctly and deliberately, though with great
effort: “Xiiilicl Astor has been in my inina lor
two years—two whole years! Let Harry $n-,

“And you are accustomod to cattle?”

wealthy cattleman.
gentleman and tho young Englishman, Harry
Hndcld, whom wo last saw being initiated
into the mysteries of desperadoism. The firit
set of Beth Cirphton'a conspiracy was coming
off. Endeld himself was entirely imeonscions
that he wss playing n part. He had simply
been told by Heth that there waa nothing, to
be done for the next two months, nnd that in
the meantime he bed better apply at Astor's
for work.
As the twnmen walked teward the house,
Harry looked upon his future employer with
surprise. It wss not the custom for a well-to-
do stockman to ask a cowboy to enp in his
own house; one of the herders’ cabins would
have been thought good enough liy most peo
ple.
Mr. Astor, however, Was a man of original
Ideas. He wonid not have any one in his em
ploy upon whom Ho could not thoroughly
rely; and he had great flsitb in the perceptive
powers pf his family.
Consequently, every one whom be Intended
to employ was introduced to hie wife on the
drat evening, end told to mako himself at
home. Another peculiarity of Mr. Astor's
waa that if after he had engaged a man he
fennd that he wu immoral in his privste life,
and Inclined to drink when “on the loose," he
would dltinlss him without warning. This
whim caused him to he hatod by the ordinary
run of. rowboyr with an intensity of which
only men of strong, liuvlcss passions are rs-
’ Mr. Astor led Ilsny round to tho kitchen
door, .here soap, witter ami towel were handed
him by a bright c.ved Mexican girl. Having
washed oil travel stgins, he was conducted to
another door opening .Into a small hall, and
then ushered Into a room the appearance of
which fairly mode bin
wss transported from
tier right Into tho heart uf rivlllntlon. Fac
ing him waa a plnno; over tho marble mantel-
pleco elute by, a handsome mirror; the walls
were rbverad with pictures; cushionod chairs
wero scattered Iu dlll'urcnt directions; and iu
the renter of tho room wss a square tabic,
glutsi Ing with silver neatly laid ont on asnow-
white damask Inldcclotli. I must here remark
that tho above details Wero not noticed nil at
once by Harry, for ho had hardly time to take
one hasty glanco at bis surroundings before he
wss conscious of tho presence of two ladles,
and beard Mr. Astor say, “My wife and
daughter, Hr. Endeld.”"
It was a curious sensation to Harry Endeld
the presaure of amell, soft hands and the tussle
of gentle voices bidding him welcome in
accents such as lie had not heard etlico boy
hood; in spite of his six-sml-tweuty-ycan tho
yunng Englishman blushed holly, anil found
no worda with which to ninko n snltable re
ply; but ns be tourhed the proffered hands
the bow he gave caused the younger of the
two ladies to raise a pair of Anoly-arrhed
black eyebrows— Ibrmlng a striking contrast
to her golden linlr nud fair skin- -considera
bly higher than waa their wont, and more
than once, when sitting opposite her at table
and politely answering Mrs. Astor’s questions
about English life, Harry fbuud her hand
some gray eyes searching his flue with an
anxious, punted expression, ns if he was a
riddle which it wu dlfllcuH, yet imperative,
to read. Aftrrsupper tho cattleman and his
gurst strolled leisurely up and down iu frout
of the bouse, smoking: tho younger man,
yielding to some indurnce which he did not
attempt to analyse, telling his host much
about his funner lifts to which Mr. Astor
listened with silent attention. Then they re
entered tlio home, nnd Isabel Astor sat down
in charge of the ranch when he (Mr. Astor)
wag obliged to go on the round-up.
This news spread over the country fast. The
neighbors shrugged their shoulders at Astor's
raanness in making so much of a comparative
stranger; their sons were wild with jealonsy,
for a rour d dozen had vowed that they wonid
marry no one but Isabel Astor. it wu bad
enough for each of the twelve to remember
that Be bad eleven rivals with chances equal
to his own; but when this Interloper appeared,
with bis broad .shoulders, good horsemanship,
and power of seeing as much of the adorable
one as he pleased, it wu too much. There was
nothing for It but a challenge. Even that wu
useless, however, for the coward would not

on the back when meeting them after
the cartels had been dnly delivered, and then

Jed frowned dubiously. “Ain't they getting

after all.”

tho Atlantic. He most hiro had a tough bat*
tie with-life. 1 atu glad yxm think bloi hon

The weeks passed by, two months had gone,
and still Harry Enfield worked at Astor's
ranch. A great change wu observable now in
the young man's fkce. Tho desperate,wild ex-
irtsalon had disappeared. Sometimes he eren

The city of Milledgeville is still excited over
the kllUng af Deputy Marshal C. N. Hay goad,
of that place, by Mr. 8am Ennis, on Saturday
hut. A negro preacher from Atlanta, named
Carter, made an address to a large crowd of
citizens in the morning and another in the
afternoon, in front of Amusement hall. The
latter, It is alleged, contained some slighting
allusions to the liquor dealers. Some threat!
were made against Tarter, and, at thoconclu>
•Ion of bis speech, he was placed in a carriage
and driven to the depot, where he took the
train for Macon, on hla way to Atlanta.
Carter being out of the way, Captain T. P.
Ennis, a prominent anti-prohibitionist, mount
ed th©cotton and proceeded to' addroe? the
crowd. When ho finished the negroes hur
rahed, and seizing Captain Ennis, placed him
on their shoulders atni carried him up aud
down the street. Haygood, who was in the
crowd, remarked that the negroes ought to bo
arretted. Somebody repented tho remark to
Mr. Sam Ennis, a younger brother of Captain
Ennis, and himself an auti-prohibitlonUt.
It is presumed 'that the re
mark wta distorted, for Mr. Ennis at once
approached Uaygbod and asked him what
lie had said about Captain Ennis. Haygood,
who waa a prohibitionist, replied: "Captain
Ennis is a nice gentleman, bnt he cin't make
a speech, because there is no argument on his
side.” Mr. Ennis warned Haygood not to
criticise Captain Ennis, and it it is alleged,
used some threatening expressions. He then
turned away. Shortly after, Haygood ap
proached Mr. Ennis nnd said.
"Let’s take a walk; I want to tell yon some
thing."
Mr. Ennis joined him, and the two mon
started across tho street towards Amusement
hall. After taking a few steps, Mr. Ennis
took his*pistol from his pistol pocket, cocked
it, and put it in another pocket. When tho
two nu n were nearly across tho street, Mr.
Ennis said:
"Where do you want to go?”
"If you’ll go far enough with meyou’ll nover
return alive,” Haygood replied.
Mr. Ennis, who was at Htygodd’s right side,
stopped and said: 9
"Well, if that is what you want, I’d better
not go any further.” sir.
Ho then quickly took Ws :pMohsfron>r* his
pocket, placed tho muzzle against dfaygoofi’s
right aide, about firo inches above tho waist,
and fired. Almost Instantly he placed the
mureie against Hnygood’s left brca4 »nd fired
again.
Haygood sprang upon the pavement and
started iu a run up tho street As ho passed
('■plain Wi 8. McCemb, the town marshal, ho
exclaimed:
"Main!”
Mr. Ennis fired a third shot ns lfuvgoo-1 ran
up the street but it did not take elfeet.
When Haygood reached tho corhcr, a dis
tance of hboutone hundred feet from where
the shooting occurred, he turned and ran Into
Charles Case’s drug store. When about tho
middle of the store he lurched and fell to the
floor. To thoso who quickly gathered around
him ho sold several times:
"Why did ho do it? I never harmed him.”
Iu fifteen minutes after falling to the tloor
ho died.
Mr. Ennis claimed that he was forced to-
•boot Haygood in self defense. The coroner’s
Jury found h verdict of murder.
Mr. Haygood leaves u young wife and thro©
children. Ilia mother aud n brother, Captain
William Haygood, also survive him.
8am Joues was asked in Chicago what he had
to say about t bo statements that no spoko harsh
ly in MiUcdgevllle, embittering the feeling
which led tu the Haygood tragedy. Ho said:
"I think my name is connected with that
affair in order that it might be more sensa
tional. ' 1 never made an incendiary speech in
my life. In tho town of Milledgeville I said:
"You men who sro prohibitionists be prudent,
but stand tu your convictions. If the* liquor men

Continuing’ Mr. Jones taid:
"A man liu tally takes bis life iu hla bands when

blew up tny stable with dynamite and sent mo
threatening letter* uot to come to Atlanta to talk
prohibition."
MiLi-gin.KVii.i r. Ua., March 3.~[8pecial.]—
The verdict of the coroner’s jury in tho case of
8am Ennis for killing Deputy-Marshal C. M.
.the commitment trial took place
before County Judgo Ratnsey nnd occupied al
most the entire day. Hon. Seah Beose, of
Sparta, Judge D. It. Sanford ami John Allen of
thla place, defended Ennis. Colonel W. A.
Lofton and Sam Jcmiton of Macon, wero en
gaged to prosecute. Solicitor-General Bobcrft
Whitfield is ahseut attending court in another
conuty. Judge Knmsey delivered his decision
this morn ing- lie bound tho prisoner over
for trial at the next session of tho superior
court, and fixed his bond at $.\.VX>.
Much liaa bcon said about tho address of
Rev. Sam Jones, delivered in Amusemeut hall
hero about ten days ago. It has been laid at
his door that his utterances gave rise to much
of the high feeling cxistiug hero over tho pro~
bihiUcn campaign. There is no doubt that he
uiadea telling address. The prohibitionists wero
thoroughly aroused. Some of las words may
have been, unde? tho circumstances, consid
ered by some of the andienco as more reckless
than prudent—but if Mr. Jones were to couie
back here ho would probably say as much
again, as he is knowu to uso plain words aud
to go at his adversary tooth aud toe-nail.
The killing of Haygood cannot be fairly re
garded as tho resttlt of the prohibition agita
tion. It was a personal difficulty, such as in sy
have or cut red under any other circumstances.
