Now that the ma jor has passed from earth
away we may state that in 1850 he was SEN
fenced to state prison in Ohio for borrowing
horses. He was an ambitious critter and
dug his way ont and headed for Sunset. We
could have given him away any day during
the last two years, but he knew that he
was safe in our hands Many of our citizens
noticed that the major always exhibited
considerable nervousness when the stage
came in, and if there was u stranger in town
he kept i'll the background until some one
ascertained what business had brought the
man here
While we loved the major in a general
way. we were not blind to his bad points.
He would get drunk. He would cheat at
cards. On one occasion he stole our mule.
On another he raised us out of a game OF
poker by presenting two guns at our unpro-
tected breast. 1t will be remembered that
we had to shoot him in 1880 and again in
1891 in self defense. He nominated us for
mayor in one of the floweriest speeches ever
uncorked in this sublime portion of the
civilized world, and the-very nextd day went
around town abusing the memory of our
dead father and predicting that we would
be defeated by 500 majority. 1t was the ma
jor who encouraged us to introduce the
white shirt and collars and cuffs into this
town, and yet the very first time we ap-
