He was no sooner let out of prison than
he returned TO Sacramento and renewed
the fight that had caused the death of

DR.. Simmons was once called to see
Cauiiield when the latter was suffering with
broken leg. After examing the lirub the
doctor remarked, "A bad fracture It's
dom lie, my leg is not broken" The
doctor picked up his hat and started TO
leave. telling Garfield to call upon some
other surgeon. Hold on, said Garfield,
" and I'll show you it amt broke" He
stood upon his good leg and went 10 lift
the other when the heel swung around
where the toe ought to be. IN give in.
Set the dom thing" was his cool remark.
DR.. Simmons says he had more vitality
than any hall dozen men he ever saw. He
had waited on him when he had been cut
to pieces, been shot to pieces, kicked 10
pieces, and wounds that would cause the
death of any ordinary man would not
feaze him.

man with whom he was not acquainted
came in. Take drink" said Caulfeld.
" No, excuse me-" replied the stranger
Take that then" said the hero of a hun
bred fights, and he slashed knife through
the muscle Of the young mans arm.
One day he stopped in front of butcher
shop at Front and streets, and abused
the snopSeeper. The latter, becoming en-
ragged, picked up butcher knife and started
FOR Caulfield. The latter knocked him
down, and, deliberately taking the long
knife rem the butcher turned him over
on his back in the presence of the butchers
wife and child, coolly told him that he had
but one minute to live, and advised him
to say his prayers quickly. After waiting
q moment he plunged the knife through
his body, pinning him to the ground, and
walked Off supposing the latter was dead
That butcher got well, and Caulfeld has
often been heard to regret his not making
better job of it.
