The news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1882-1891, 1882-07-13


the robber slipped behind the coach
and called to the driver to 60 on at
gallop, at the same time firing three
bullets over the coach to start things
with q rush. Half mile away the
coach halted and the seven victims
jumped down with their arms, but
the "Smiler" had disappeared with
his booty.
Less than a month after the robbery
related above, the "Emiler" was half
asleep in Custer City saloon when
in came sharp known as "Grizzly,"
accompanied by three or four men,
whose admiration for his brag and
bluster made them his hackers.
"Grizzly" wanted to fight some one,
but he wanted to pick his man.
When he saw the "Smiler" dozing
away in his chair he thought he had
discovered "tender-foot" whom be
could wallop. Without a word of
warning he advanced and pulled the
sleeper's nose The soft smile came
to the little mans face as he slowly
rose up, and his voice was no more
than whisper as he inquired:
Stranger, did you mean that"
"You betp'
"Then SIGH of this crowd as don't
like bullets had better git!"
Three or four men rushed out Just
as the revolvers commenced to spark.
The "Smiler" was alone-the bully
had three hackers. For three or four
minutes there was a constant pop!
pop! Of revolvers, and then two Of
"Grizzly's" friends rushed out and
ran away both wounded. Those who
rushed in found the bully down and
severely wounded and the other one
stone dead, while "Smiler" was sit
ting on bench reloading one Of his
revolvers. Thirty shots had been
fred at him from distance Of twelve
feet and yet he had received only one
slight flesh wound.
One day, as four men rode out from
Julesburg, Colorado, they encountered
smiling stranger, who made several
inquiries regarding mines. They were
giving him all possible information,
when he suddenly interrupted the
conversation with:
"Gentlemen, dismount aud hold upl"
At the same time he covered the
crowd with his shooters, and there
was no alternative but to yield. The
crowd left him over 81, 500, but it was
his last robbery. A large party was
soon on his trail, and after lodging
them two or three days he was
captured and given sentence of ten
years.
