There is q guest at the Palmer House, says
the Chicago Times of a recent date, whose
personal experiences would double discount
any of the lurld Wild West stories now in

This little, short, dark-eyed man, who
strolls about the rotunda like a I preacher. was
known III the early DAYS of Nebraska as
4" Doc" Middleton. He is now n respected
citizen of AtchISon, Neb., where he manages
IA general sore.
1t was one night about thirteen years ago
that Dec Middleton" startled the settlers
of Nor,h Platte. He had stolen q band of
horses from the Sioux Indians and was rest
ing at tbs hotel. BY some means he learned
that the sheriff WAS on his trail and not more
than a half mile away. Jumping on q bronco
and flashing two revolvers he went through
the streets daring the whole town to arrest
him.
lie escaped. but part of his gang was cap
tured. Those taken were the two Smith
boys. the Reed bro. hers and the notorious
Charlie HuGitt. All have been shot or
hanged since.
Middleton next showed himself at Atchison
on q Fourth OF July. He celebrated with
the other patriots. played tall and ran foot
races with four Government detectives. who
were afraid to arrest him. 1t was that night
lie n quited his re reputation aS a dead shot. In
the dance hall he threw silver dollars in the
air, hitting them with bullets before they
fell.
In those days Senator Moody was a Gov.
eminent officer Mt Dendwood. He tackled
B" Doc" once and demanded the outlaws sur
render. Middleton made the Senator throw
up his hands. took from him all hut his
jeans. and s arted him for Deadwood. saving
that the 70 ks would be lonesome without
Judge Moody. aud he had better make fast
time homeward.
