more that have elapsed since then have
made vast difference in the methods
of dealing with crime. The way men
had to punish certain infringements Of
the law or at least didpunish them, be-
fore law had grown strongarms is well
illustrated by the following story. 1t
came to me almost directly from the
lips of one of the actors. 1t is bit of
history connected with Lincoln, and in
wolves one of the notorious characters
seen upon her streets until recently
This narrative will. / doubt not, fan
under the notice of more than one who
had glimpses of the series of events as
they were being enacted.
The first act in the drama is the steal
ing of several teams of mules and
horses by Mike Sheedy, a brother of
the John Sheedy, concerning whose
death occurred one of the notable GRIM
inal trials in Lincoln. Mike was in
terested in some railroad grading which
was done some sixty miles west of
Lincoln. and needed more teams to
accomplish the work. Knowing of
certain animals and wagons at a small
Missouri hamlet that were quite to his
purpose, he forthwith visited the place
and made way with them.
A cousin of the man who thus lost
his horses, was young attorney at
Gallatin, in the same state, an able
lawyer, a man full of enterprise, and
one who understood well the secrets of
dealing with men. He undertook the
case for his cousin, and started for Lin
coin. Only a small wooden station
house marked the site where now the
large Burlington and Missouri depot
stands. Stepping from the platform, he
passed up the road to the centre of the
town. Four or five years before, the
place had been laid out for a capital
city, and a marked growth had been
made; but it was still simply a from
tier village. Not a single shanty
adorned the foot of the hill where the
depot was. AS he approached the
group of stores clustered about the
square even then known as Post Of
flee square" he paused to inquire of a
passer-by where he could find John
Sheedy. The man looked at him with
an expression of inquiry in his features,
which might have been interpreted to
bler?" and said, Right over there in
that building, stranger. That's his
place of business" The lawyer strolled
over across the square and entered the
house. Scattered about a fair-sized
room were several chairs. and behind
the only table in the room sat a man
reading newspaper. Back of the man,
upon the wall, were sets of pigeon
holes containing packs of cards, and on
AS the lawyer entered the man looked
up. With gesture the gambler re-
marked in a business tone, Have a
chair" At the same time he laid aside
his paper and pushed one of the revol-
vers and a pack of cards toward the
other side of the table. rs this Mr..
asked the lawyer. Yes
was the reply, 1T is" Said the stran-
ger. Il haven't time for a game to-day,
Mr.. Sheedy. Can you tell me where
your brother Mike is?" Without SEEM
ing surprised, Mr.. Sheedy quickly
asked, What do you want with Mike?'

We'll" was the rejoinder. Il have no

With a few more words, the lawyer
left the resort and sought a hotel.
While thinking of the matter. he looked
about him to see what kind of help was
to be had for the remainder of the trip:
for he had calmly determined to go out
to the railroad camp and recover the
stolen teams and wagons. To one of the
fellows about the hotel. apparently not
then engaged in any business, whose
appearance pleased him. he addressed
some questions. Finding him available
and able to use a revolver when and
only when he was told, he enlisted the
fellow in his service, and instructed him
The party of four was soon made up
and started out to find the camp of rail-
road graders. They came upon 1t where
John Sheedy had indicated. but they
did not enter the place at once or re-
veal their presence. While waiting for

him with some word of address.

few men in camp, two or three of whom
they decided to take with them to pilot
the teams back to Nebraska City. With

started on their return trip TO Missouri.
The lawyer directed that his comrades
should take the southern route, pas
sing many miles to the south of Lin
coin, while he himself should take the
risk of returning to Lincoln. He had
no intention of being delayed by the
comparatively slow livery team. In
stead he drove to the nearest station.
and took the train At the place
where he was thus compelled to leave
the livery, he reported the plight in
which he had left the graders, and ar
ranged for their release.
The day was not far gone when he
stepped once more from the train at
the Lincoln depot. Before he had
left the platform one of the hotel boys
came to him with the information,
