SAVED BY A FRIENDS WIT
The Telegraph Used to Warn a Man 81,
His Danger.

His Danger.
HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. A crowd q,
people witnessed a singular scene hero
the other night, in which a man, rfo
was saved after as novel a fashion as eve,
any writer of fiction has evolved. Rsfs
Shaffer, a we'll known sporting man, vss
seated in a gambling saloon talking 10 ,
! friend, who had only lately come here
from the east. Shaffer was telling hi.
companion of a quarrel that he had with
another man about town, whom he sus.
pected of about to make al attempt On
his life.
AS he was speaking the eastern man
suddenly interrupted him with the Ques.
ton Say, Shaffer, do you remember
your old business as telegraph operator
Shaffer, who, it seems, had followed
this trade before going west, looked sur.
prised, but answered that he did.
well, you know, it's "a very easy thing
forgotten. Now, | will bet you can'ttelI
me what | am going 10 tick ont here on
this table :"
The eastern man then took a pencil
from his pocket and began to tick off a
message, which as he finished caused
Shaffer to spring hastily from his seat,
drawing as he did so a revolver from his
pocket, which he thrust almost in tie
face of Il man who had been standing ID
the door of the saloon and who had just
covered him with his pistol.
The w men glared at each other, ana
Shaffer said calmly Better put up your
weapon, Smith, unless you want to shoot
IL out with me right here. | have got
the drop on you as much as you have on
me-"
Smith hesitated and her replied that
he would put up his pistol if Shaffer
would, and consent to leave the question
between them to the arbitration Of mu,
tual friends. Shaffer agreed to the arbi.
tration plan, as it seems both men had
their reasons for not letting the cause Of
the bad blood between them be known to
the public.
Smith then left, and ShalTer thanked
his quick-witted friend for the service he
had rendered him. The message the
eastern man had raped out was as fol-
lows:
eff your enemy is a dark.complexioned
man with a hooked nose and a scar or
the left cheek, he has just entered the
saloon and has his hand on his pistO.
pocket. If you fear treachery from him
move quickly or he'll have the drop on
you. | am unarmed so that | cannot
draw for you. Draw now, as he has his
pistol out, and unless you are as quick as
lightning he will have you
Shatfer's keen ear caught the words
and he acted at once on them, as has
been shown. His wheeling so suddenly
about on Smith took that gentleman SO
by surprise that he vas compelled TO
back down. Smith has the reputation OF
being more treacherOus than brave, "hlIe
Shaffer is a man Of courage and some
cOOlueSS.
