Gentlemenly Ben Thompson, One of
the Noted Texas Fire-Eaters.
Ali over Texas Ben Thompson's note
was negotiable paper, says e writer In the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press, and no man who
ever presented him with a bill but was
treated with polite business courtesy.
l Yves introduced TO Thompson At
Austin, Tex, and the meeting was not in
a saloon, a gambling house, or even a
hotel. The place was a Quiet, orderly
ice. parlor, and Ben Thompson and
his wife were eating strawberry cream at
a table near by TO a coterie Of high-school
girls, ono Of them being the daughter Of
ex-Gov. Ireland, of Texas.
Thompson wa q sma!l-sized man, yet
not slender. He was elegantly yet not
showily dressed his clothes indicated q
correct taste, diamond stud and athread
Of gold watch chain comprising all his
personal iewelry. He was q handsome
man of forty-fye. with small black mus
tnchc and hazel eyes.
Yet this man had q record of having
killed thirteen white men and twice that
number Of Mexicans and Indians. A few
months later he was himself killed in San
Antonio, along with Ringfshey, In a
h~and.to-hand conflict with two other men
in the Vaudeville Theatre.
He wa mover known to take an unfair
advantage of N enemy. n majority of his
victims having had the FIRST shot at him.
Once. In a store, lie ordered o man with
whom he was engaged in q lively dispute
TO go outside and pass around the block
TO the right he would pass around TO the
left and meet him, They did 30. the man
blazed away at Thompson with q shot-
gum loaded with buckshot missed, went
into the air at the crack of Ben's revolver.
and fell q corpse.
And thus with every case of Thomp-
sons numerous killings, the prellminaries
we're always favored with Q dash Of dra-
matte sen sationalism.
AZ Thompson and his wife passed out
OF the ice-cream bazaar l Noticed that she
had but one arm. The other had been
shattered by n Winchester ball In Denver,
when she threw IL across Ben's head upon
discovering o crouching form drawing q
bead on b m. At the time OF his death
| Thompson was City Marshal of Austin.

instantly came 70 the conclusion that the
old lady was not = very old hand ct the bust

She didn't 60 about the work in the
regular way. and. although while / stood
watching her several people crossed the
road. she didn't drop q courtesy or sweep

Perhaps she was q little confused by the
way in which | stared at her, and that ac-
counted for her Observation-Disclosures, for
presently. when a young lady came across
the road, the old woman followed her up
closely aud whined out "Spare a copper
for the poor old crossing-sWeeper, lady.
Please spare . copper" 81 haven't one, u
