C03TLV AND DEADLY KNIVES. Oladn Mad* for noalnm la UM Early Dtn of CalJfurnU. In 1838 il. Pilot, who then had a email cutlery shop, cat up nights and mado 4 lino bowio CUfe, widen bo exhibited in the first Mechanic*' fair held in San Francloco. After tho fair Ward Eaton took tho knife to the Bank Exchange and raOled it for $100. Price had taken groat cars in tempering the blade, and had offered to forfeit f 100 if any better steel could be found. At that time Billy Allison, of Yolo, was making knives, which were sought by all men who wanted reliable weapons. Surveyor General Higloy had on Alli son knife, and ho backed it against Price's blade. Thd test was made In the Bank Exchange, and aroused as much interest as a national election. Gen. Higlcy laid a half dollar on the counter and drove tho Allison blado through It without' turning the point or edge. Ward Eaton wielded the Price blade with a steady, strong arm, and achieved the samo feat Gen. Higley then tried two half dollar^ and the point of his kmfe turned. Eaton piled up three of the coins, drove tho Price knifo through them, and when ho raised the weapon the three half dollars were impaled on the point, which was not turned. That mado Price’s bowio knives os famous on this coast as Toledo blades were in Spain, and eVery man who west heeled had to have one. Marlon Moore, a noted mining and sporting man, whoso nitro-glycerino blew up Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express office on tne comer of Cali fornia and Montgomery streets, ordered of Price tho best knifo he could moke. Moore gave Price a gold brick and a piece of gold quarts that he had taken ont of a mine with his own hands, and told him to work the metal in. Price mado an eight inch bowio, having agolil handle inlaid with quarts. Mooro paid $175 for the weapon, and bonded back to Price tho gold that was left over. Mooro’s Lawyer, McCabe, got a gold mounted knife for $100,«n<L theso two expensive weapons played a leading part in a bloody tragedy in White Pino, Nov. Mooro bad a mine there, and, as was usual in those days, somebody tried to jump tho claim. Mooro and McCabe were caught in tho tunnel by a band of fighters hired by tho other claimants, and cut their way out with their bowic knives. Several men wero killed in the fight, and as most of the dead had only knifo wounds, it is supposed that Moore and Ills lawyer did somo game and lively work. A littlo gambler named Barney Kenny used a six and a half inch bowie of Price’s make with deadly effect about eighteen years ago. Ho was playing poker with three other sports in a saloon in Portland, Oro. Somebody was caught cheating, and Barney grabbed the pot. Instantly the three confeder- ates pulled their pistols and blazed away at Barney, who drew his knifo and waded in desperately. After a brief but furious combat, in which fifteen shots >fcro tired, Barnoy walked out of the •<*roora, leaving tho others on tho floor. Ono was dead, a second mortally wounded, and tho third‘cut so badly that ho had to bo in a hospital for months. In 1801 Price mode twp knives forCoL Jack Gamble, who supplied Moxican gold onzas .for tho lianalo frames. Tho bandies wero inlaid with abalino shell and gold quartz, and tho colonel paid $400 for the two weapons. Gamble gavo ono to bis friend Charles Norris, who lost it some years later. It was a mere fancy of Gamble's to have such a weapon, ns ho was never known to use it. Joe Winters, in 1804, walked into Price's place with two friends, saw three $75 knives in the case, bought them, and turning around, presented ono to each of his companions just as he would hand about cigars. Ono of tho men who bought an extrav agantly expensive knife from Pricocame into tho shop somo time after alight had occurred in a mino and several men had been carved to death, and exchanged the weapon for somo other wares. Ashe put tho gold mounted bowio down he said with a shiver that ho would never use u knifo again. When the weapon was examined the blado was found rusted with blood, and there was blood even in tho crevices between tho slabs of the handlo mid tho framo. There were no guards on the hilts of tlieso knives, be cause the men who bought them carried them for sudden use. and a guard is likely to catch in tho clothing and delay tho draw. ' The first big knives mado by Price wero for a party of United States sur veyors, who wanted them os substitutes for axes in cutting trails through tho brush. The - blades wero twelve inches long and very heavy, and in tho hands of a strong man would cut a person’s head off at ono blow.—San Francisco Ex aminer. . non "Doc” Smart Broke the Bank*. “Doc” Smart, a noted Western bandit, witli two confederates, bought all the playing curds at El Paso, at Goldsboro's stationery store, paying for them $75, and when questioned as to what they in tended doing with them said that they were going up in the mines and expected to do a great business, but if they failed would like tho privilego to return what they did not use. Goldslierg consented, and in a few days they returned with about half of them. This same Goldslierg was in the kal i: of furnishing nil tho faro banks in town with cards, and upon receiving dem for them and having none on band ex cept those returned by Smart lie divided tho lot between the Y.ilicrent "banks," and on the same night every "UuiU" in El Paso was "busted" by Smart r.nd a few of hi* confederates. 'The la; t "Im.L broke" examined their eanK i.:.d h.m.d that every card Imd been "pinched." An investigation nt each "bank" •bowed their eards "pinched" ill tile samo manner. It wu* found out next , day that Kmart Imd returned these cards toUoldsberg. and, of course, il wot de cided that Kmart and his gang "pinched" thorn.
