His Early Genius.
The boy, Paul Jones, was the father of

walk he haunted the shores of the firth.
His first playthings were boats, and he
made his companions into a company of

s.Navajo SAM" Who Was Too Good a
Shot For the Army.
Down about Fort Defiance. in the
edge of New Mexico-the place is
abandoned now for the newer military
post at Wingate-Navajo Sam used to
make a good deal of trouble. He had
been an enlisted man and was sent to
his regiment from the recruiting depot
on Governors island. But nothing was
known Of his anticedents in New York
or elsewhere.

presently; but it was all Sans elo-
quent ear could do to convince the Gal

and not the act of a man unduly
eager for glory.
Sans Closing Adventure.
But he came to his end, and that in
a most inglorious fashion. The Allan
tic & Pacific company had just built
the new railroad to Gallup, and the
supplemented plainsmen were not ac-
customed to its habits. Sam had a
discussion with julius FEEDER, a Semet-
ic trader who dealt in Navajo wool. It
all grew out of the Jews disinclina-
ton TO trade ponies.
julius mounted and flew, with no
more damage than a hole in the crown
Of his hat. Sam mounted and follow
ed. but his pony was unequal to the
task Of capture. The road lay along
the railway track, and julius was in
fair way to escape when the train
came along. Sam shouted an order
for the engineer to stop, but it was
unheeded. 50 he broke a cab window
with the second shot, and then dis
mounted.
Very much enraged, and envious of
on the ladder of freight car as it
hurried past, and by some marvel
hung on. The Jew, watching Sans
pony, was not aware Of the tactical
change till Sam, lying on a freight
car. attracted his attention by tanning
his bride hand. But the unaccustom-
ed jolting destroyed his aim, and.
wildly angered, the bad man flung
himself to the ground.
The impatient haste was fatal. for he
broke one arm and one leg in falling;
and julius, not knowing how safe he
was returned and destroyed him.
Navajo Sam was buried just the day
before a gentleman came down from
Durango with a. shotgun and a series
of questions about the tenderfoot.

Jimmy Holland" Who Was One of
.IEm.
Jimmy" Holland was enc of the old
gang, and one of the latest. He was a
San Francisco youth, with a weakness
for the mountains. He was known all
the way from Virginia City 10 Mount
Shasta, and particularly well known at
the army forts. Slight of build, with
a smiling face, bright blue eyes, white
teeth, good raiment and an excellent
horse jimmy Holland was a gen
eral favOrite- He seldom drank, and
was never drunken. The demands of
his profession precluded Indulgence.
Fer in spite Of his very cordial de-
meano~ Jimmy Holland was a gam
bier. At Carson one night-a town
he despised. as no one-but the legis-
lators would play, and Nevada, could
not afford 70 keep a legislature in ses-
sion perpe.ually, even for him-he was
dealing faro when two gentlemen dis
puted as TO which had set a. $50 gold
piece on the seven spot-the seven
having won.
Both were members of the legisla-
ture and, therefore, honorable men,
and so Jimmy could not decide be-
tween them. Both were shooters, and
therefore he deemed it according to
all Carson ethics to let them settle it
between themselves. This was agree
able to the man from Reno, but Win
nemucca's representative, Joe" AL

would be easier, abused the dealer
roundly for not protecting his patrons.
