Guilty. He was taken before Police
Judge Davenport. who fined hin
500. Peel said he had not money
enough with him to pay the fine
but he would get it, and the judge
allowed him to 60 upon his own
recognizance. The next; morning
he walked into the room while the
court was in session, and advancing
close to the judge, said:
"Judge Davenport, I've come to
settle that fine"
"Very WE'LL" replied the judge,
stroking his magnificent beard with
complacency at the subdued tone
of the outlaw.
Thereupon Peel seized Davenport
by the whiskers with both hands
and pounded his head against the
wall until he was almost insensible.
Half dozen officers were in the
court, but they made no attempt
to arrest the ruffian. They knew
him too well. When he had done
"wooling" the judge he walked
calmly out and that was the last
of it. The fine had been settled.
Dan De guile, however, took
occasion to review the whole
career Of Peel in the local columns
of the Enterprise next morning.
He did not mince matters. He
pictured the character of the des
perado in his true light, spoke of
misdeeds in the plain and forcible
terms they deserved, and called
upon the authorities to overcome
this terror and bring him to
punishment. The article
was so bold that Dams friends
were alarmed, but it is not likely
that he himself and had given a
thought to the consequences.
In spite of the gravity of the
the printers, in the
spirit of that familiarity which |
exists between the editorial and |
composition roems of interior news

fun at Dams expense; so, when he
took his seat at his desk that even

times during the day making in
luiry for him. Dan asked who it

not know for certain, but he thought
t was Farmer Peel, as his look and
N amer appeared decidedly hostile.
Dan applied himself to his work
making any comment
After his, nights labor was finished,
saying a word to any one,
ne took a stilleto that he had
picked up somewhere as curio,
The blade of which was scarcely
larger than a knitting needle, and
sticking it inside the lapel of his
coat as you would pin, sailed
ierth from the office.
He had accepted the printers
statement in COCO faith, and had
made up his mind that if there
we're hunting to be done he would
Jake hand in it himself. He did
aot know Farmer Peel by sight,

A Trick to Get a Horse.

The Confederate cavalryman was of
ten puzzled as to how to provide him
self with horse. The authorities gave
him the choice to keep mounted OF go
into the ranks with his musket, as
horses were not furnished by the gov
ernment. To be dismounted and be-
come foot soldier was worse to him
than court martial, and he would risk
much in his efforts to get horse from
the enemy.
In the fall of 1853, q Confederate cav
alryman had his horse killed in skir-
mish near Warrenton, Va, and as his
best chance TO capture one from the
enemy he put his wife to work to de-
wise the ways and means. He was with
the outside pickets, and not far off on
the pike, were the cavalry pickets of
the enemy. He procured a piece OF
telegraph wire from the railroad, and
when twilight came on stretched this
across the road, fastening one end to
the fence and the other end to conve-
nient tree just high enough to catch
cavalryman about the belt. When
matters were thus arranged to his lik-
ing he started down the pike, and
stopped in plain view of the enemy.
1t was not long before three of them
gave chase mounted on good horses.
1t was too dark for them to see the
wires, and they came, determined to
have prisoner. The chase was sharp
and quickly over, so that by the time
the schemer had passed through, and
under his trap, the enemy was upon
him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two
of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed
and the third being so much astonish-
ed and frightened at their fate as to turn
and beat a hasty retreat. The two
horses, without their riders, continued
down the road, and were easily cap
tured by the Confederate, who, by his
clever ruse, became their owner, and
kept his place in the cavalry.
The two pickets left to themselves,
hurriedly made their way back to their
comrades as crestfallen and astonished
as two men could we'll be. The hero of
this incident tells the tale himself, and
adds that he rode one of these horses to
Appomattox, and from there to his
home, and it was one Of the best he
ever owned.

The GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY's
few days ago in company
with several friends from this city,
correspondent made hasty pilgrimage
to the old town of New Glasgow, in
Amherst county, for the dual purpose
of visiting the grave of Sarah, the mo-
ther of Patrick Henry, and of reyiving
and collecting all facts and traditional
lore, with regard to the Meredith, Gar
land and Cabel families whose old home
steads are yet standing, but rapidly
yielding to the mildew of decay. New
Glasgow was in apte-bellum days, the
centre of social circle, unsurpassed in
the Old Dominions for its generous hos
pitality, refinement and culture. AT
the edge of the village is "Winton,"
the residence built for and originally
occupied by Col. Samuel Meredith, the
brother-in-law of Patrick Henry. 1t
was here that Sarah Henry passed the
latter years of her life. The graveyard
in which she is buried, was by the
request of her son-in-law, Col, Mere
dith, located in pursuance of her own
ulEeCllONS, iUOuI lOul huhuiSo = o' No
in the rear of "Winton." Her own
grave was the first heaped and sodded
within the precincts whose emerald
sward was yet unbroken by the sexton's
spade. No sculptured urn nor monu-
mental brass marks her silent abode,
but nameless, yet not forgotten, sleeps
the matron who gave to the world him
whose eloquence famed the flame of
the American revelation into unquench-
able embers. Colonel Meredith's ven
Grafton of her character led him to re-
quest that he be buried at the foot of
her grave. At his left is buried his
wife Jane Henry, woman of re-
markable mental vigor indeed, even
more eloquent than her illustrious
brother Patrick. Alongside of these is
the grave of Hon. David S. Garland,
who was o son-in-law of Colonel Mere
dith and man whose entire life was
dignifed by illustrious actions, and was
long known under the sobriquet of
''King David" The "oldest inhabi-
tant" yet tells with pride of the regal
splendor that marked the days of these

REPUBLICAN Or LIBERAL?

OF course there was no politics in the
movsl of Marshal Parsons. Nobody has
ever said there was amy The marshal
was bounced for what the attorney gen
eral assumed to be good cause. Whether
or not the attorney-general was right.
whether or not the marshal did any thing
demanding his dismissal are not at all ma
terisl at this time. Captain PARSONS was
made TO walk the plank at the command OF
his superior, as has been the case with
many others, and we don't think that poll
tics was thought of in tho matter.
The question is. will politics control in
the appointment of successors and If So
what politics will it bes Up to date Presi-
dent HARRISON has been in full sympathy
and accord with the Liberal party, and he
has had no use for the Republican organi-
cation. He has heretofore appointed only
Liberals to office, and as near as we can
get at it Liberals only have besn able to
derive any encouragement from him.
Last winter and spring when Republicans
were asking for statehood and Democrats
appealing for Home Rule, the Liberals sat
back and chuckled, saying President HAIR
RIsoN would veto either bill, should it
reach him. and we know that Republicans
who approached him on the statehood pro-
position retired disappointed and more or
ess disguised.
In the appointment of successor to
MaSshal PARSONS the president will say
whether or not he has changed his mind

WYOMING PROSPECTS.

There are no more earnest Democrats
anywhere than are to be found in Wyo-
ming, and there are none more determined
to win. They are thoroughly organized
and are working hard and intelligently.
The campaign has opened and it is proposed
TO keep things lively until the close of the
polls on the evening of Nov. s, when the
confident expectation Is that the battle will
be won and Wyoming rescued from the
shame and disgrace put upon her by two
years of Republican incompetency and mis-
rule. The sympathy of the Democrats
throughout the nation will be with our
neighbors in their efforts to redeem the
state and institute an American form of
government. The story of the administra-
ton for the past eight months is one which
should cause every citizen to blush with
shame. Two years more Of such misrule
would arouse the great majority of the
people to appeal to Congress to find some
way for revoking the admission act and
placing the state back in the territorial
condition, when the government would be
less offensive and the responsibility for
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. would not rest upon the
people themselves.
While it Is important to the residents of
Wyoming thai the Democrats should win
the coming battle it is equally important
to the national Democracy. A United
States senatorship is involved and it is es-
sential TO the proper administration of the
national government that both branches of
Congress should be in political harmony
with the Democratic executive. That Mr.
CLEVELAND was not able to accomplish
more in the way of reform during his first
term was due to the fact that he encoun.
tered an antagonistic Senate. The present
indications are that the Republican sena.
tors who retire next March will be sue
ceeded by Democrats, as follows: SAN.
DEAs of Montana, SAWYER of Wise onsin
and WARREN of Wyoming. with the posi-
bility that STocKBRIDGE of Michigan will
be followed by Democrat or an Alliance
man, elected by Democratic votes. These
changes would transfer the control of the
of MIR. CLEvELAND's term and thus secure
Democratic administration in all branches
Of the government
We sincerely believe the Wyoming Dem
ocrats will succeed in what they have Sc,
out to accomplish. They are working for
self preservation, and with an esrnestness
and determination which bcde success,
The western and northern sections of the
state are overwhelmingly Democratic, and
it does not look as if the Republicans OF
the east and along the line of the railroad
would be able to turn the tide which has
set in in favor Of the Democracy.
