Arkansas william.

There arc dozens of men in Michigan who
will remember meeting Arkansas William
the Great Gulch terror In Julesburg. Dem
yer, Laramie and other places in that terri
tory dozen years ago. He was shooter,
a slasher. an Indian killer, a government
scout. cleaner-out OF mining camps. a
tornado when lie struck town. and double
iointPd son of a-dynamite generally.
All this he told us and sought to impress
it on our minds, and it came to pass by
and by that whenever he crowed we ali
Cackled. We'd have bet all the horses In
the First Cavalry against an Indian dog
that Arkansas William was . match for
any four Indian tribes on the plains, and
we'd have backed him against all the other
terrors, tarantulas, wild cats. Rocky Noun
tain lions and bowling bears between Oma-
ha and Frisco. True, we had never seen
him cut, nor shoot. nor slash. nor knock
down, nor drag out. but It must be him
because he said it was. 1t was an I'M
pressive sight to see him stalking round
with rifle, two .evolvers and bowie
strapped to him, and heavens how be
could yell! 1t was enough to make every
mule at the post tremble TO hear Arkansas
William utter his war-whoOp-the same
one he uttered, he told us. when he rode
down 500 Pa wnees and scattered them to
the tour winds. How many of us bought
his tintypes at $3 apiece will never be
known, but he was more eager to sell
them than to take the war-path. When
the MicIliganders left Colorado, william
was hankerlng co lay in q supply of $50

than two miles.
The other day something was heard to
drop in the Black Hills. and Arkansas
William, the Great Gulch terror, walked
i'm upon B1ining camp, and in thunder
tones asked what kind Of q graveyard they
had there. When they tFemblingly ans
'vered that they had none at all. and that
ali the men were in the best OF health. the
terror mounted barrel, tapped his arms
and cried out
mo graveyard hore No place in
which to lay my victims Whoop! I'm
the Great Gulch terror! I'm the gigantic
graveyard starter of the Big West III

They tried TO coax him not to. They
even offered him fifteen cents to go softly
away and leave them alone. Indeed, they
offered to write variety play, IN which he
as the hero, should kill las men inside OF
an hour and half, but he would not go.

will produce the result.
This, of course, will not satisfy the
thoughtless Tabble of the sand lot and their
law defying leaders. What they want is
declaration for an ACT of Congress abro-
eating the Burlingame treaty, and proyid-
ing for the immediate expulsion of all the
Chinese from the country. It would please
them still better II the ACT encouraged
rioters to pull down all the houses inllab-
tied by the Chinese and drive them into
the sea. IL is nothing to such fellows that
the abrogation Of the treaty by Congress
would violate the constitution, be i'm con-
tempt of the law nt nations, and and insult
to every Power In the civilized world.
They neither know the law, nor would
they respect it ii they did know It. But
the resolution of the Convention goes quite
as far as it should, and will meet the ap-
probation OF all bonest, Intelligent people.

Congress and the President have already
taken the proper steps to remedy the evils
resulting from the Burlingame treaty.
With a decent respect for justice and the
opinion of mankind they could not have
done more. 1t is not for one nation at its
own sweet viii to abrogate a solemn treaty
made with another nation. Both Powers
must be consulted about 1t since under the
law of nations they are equals. If the I'm
perial government should do. without our
consent and without consulting US, the
thing that these ds,nagogues are demand
ing so loudly that we should do to China,
the United States would make it cause for
war :; and these same ignorant, insensate
howlers would howl as loudly in favor OF
the war. The Republican party has ever

and justice. 1t cannoe new afford to dis

Buffalo Bill tells good story about q
party of EnSlishmen travelling on the
Plains before the Pacific railroad was
finished. They came rumbllng into Lara.
mie. abusing the driver and the coach and
| the ''blarsted country" generally, because
they averred there was no coaching OF
driving outside Of England Their con-
tempt of all thiEes American was shown
in the most offensive manner to all the
people standing around as they alighted.
It happened that Bob Scott, the finest
driver and most reckless daredevil ON the
plains, was to take the coach to the next
station, eight miles westward from Lara
mie, and as that CAV Jehu heard the re-
marks Of the BritislIers, he made MP his
mind to give them a specimen of purely
American coaching. The stable boys led
out six colts that looked as II they never
saw stage before /; they reared and snort
ef. plunged and kicked until the noble
Britons were quite delighted with the
anticipation of q fine drive.
"Now, driver, you know, just give 'em
their heads ana let 'em 20 don't sou be
afraid, my boy
YES said another encouragtngly,
tiny good fellow, just 60 ahead.''
Bob mounted the box slowly while q
man held each horse he gathered the
reins and said quickly, Let 'em go.'' and
they did, and the colts plunged and reared
but Bob's iron grip held them In. With
the aid OF the California brakes he held
them down TO walk for three miles, while
the passengers blasphemed at him for a
''can" and a sneak.
At the end of that three miles tlaey got
to the top OF hill and one Briton poked
his head out Of the window and began to
say something, but as he did SO, wild,
unearthiy yell walked that vicinity, and at
the same time Bob threw ali six lines
down. The coach seemed to lift from the
ground. and those six colts started at the
very best speed they could make. Another
yell from Bob, and they seemed to increase
1t; then, to help matters, ne drew his
revolver and began firing over the horses,
heads.
.Great God, cried the Britons, sswe'ye
got into the hands Of blarsted lunatic p,
''stnp. stnp Us they shouted but the
mad team and crazy driver tore on faster
and hsstaF, while the stage went bouncing
over the rocky road in way that threat
ened to pound the passengers to pieces,
Bob craned his neck over and yelled into
the window
Gents, I'm just getting 'em started /;
:hey'ii do better after while." And he
took out the lamps and hurled them at the
leaders with a wild Comanche wsr.whoop.
The affrighted passengers presently saw
the station In full view the question was,
how was that team to be stopped. They
gave themselves up for gone. and hung on
despairingly to the seats. It seem that
the horses were accustomed to ao right
into the stable, coach and NIL, aud mp they
came to the open door at full speed. There
was yell from the assembled stable

Mr.. Fred Koehler opened his meat
market on the corner of Nineteenth and

mense quantity of the choicest meats of all
kinds. Having furnished our citizens with
meats as far back as the memory of man
reaches, he is acquainted with the their
needs and wishes aud has made practice
of catering to their wants. He buys only
the bes, and healthiest stock IN large num-
bers and therefore his patrons are assured,
when purchasing from him, that they re-
ceive the most wholesome meats at reason
able rates. The place, corner of Nine
teenth and Poplar, should not be forgotten.
