WHERE THE COWBOY RODE.
A Wild and Dashing Vision of the Old.
@-@-F Time Abilene.

A Wild and Dashing Vision of the Old
Time Abilene.
Thousands Of cattle pass in grand review
before = person at the mention of Abilene;
but the wild cowboy with lariat, whip n
pistol has driven them on and on until they
are all gone away, and only the shadow of
a lively past are left in moldering bones
and skulls.
In 1871 there we're 100000 cattle in abb
lene.t In the old town south of the Union
Pacific there ara n few tumble-down build
ings. These are the remains of what the
cowboy and those who had to live with him
called h~ome-Abllene.
There ia doubtless enough lead buried in
these frame structures to mould q statue to
the late dauntless cow-puncher, who is to
be remembered always for his enthusiastic
and seldom reasonable belief in bad whisky
and the freedom of the ballet.
quently spoiled then has not been able to
sleep soundly since. There is nothing to
alarm him now, but when he hears the clat-
ter of q horses hoof he listens for the COW
boy yells, the sing Of a bullet, the crash of
the glass in the window pane. Yet horse
and rider are peaceful enough now. The
horseman may be a farmer,s son going
home from church. Once aroused from
slumber the old dread will not down. The
nervous, trembling. excited man tries to
sleep, and is pursued all night by the wicked
rider he knew SO we'll long ago.
Texas Joe goes by, his pony running like
mad. In either hand is a pistol, and the
bullets whiz right and left. No hailstones
ever knocked out more window glass. Joe
is wildly drunk. Tom Smith, the city mar
shal, with his double-barreled shotgun, is
after him. Joe is caught and disarmed.
Big Mike. Little Jake, Slippery Tom or
some of the others are likely enough to
hive o~~roh ~iDnp in than m RIM r,rnE
by the time the marshal sings his gun to
his back and a serene expression of peace
settles on his face. But the boys caught
fearless Tom asleep one day. They shot
him first, then cut off his head with an axe.
Tbs mayor was not pursued by candi-
dates for the Office. The friends of a
good man for the place" did not besiege
his honor for the appointment. The man
needed was as hard to find as are volun-
teers. Col. Wild Bill came in to put a
limit to chaos.
He was cruel and wicked. but he could
shoot. After he had filled a graveyard OF
so Just to show thut he knew what he was
there for. Abilene began to lose its charm
for the gentleman from Texas. The rail
roads built up other shipping points 70,
cattle. There was moro fun at Dodge City,
and after a bit the cowboy became kins
there, leaving his Abilene throne to tottel
and decay.
A city has grown since, built by noble1
hands than those of the violent though val
