The Republicans who sat at Quay S

of the opinion that the Mckinley boom
was shrinking, and that it would be still
smaller when "Joe' Manley came back
from California via the Southern states.
They believe Mckinley went into the race
too early and that the pace he set was too
swift to last. Allison, Reed and Morton

SAM BROWNS FIRST KILLING.


Nevada Desperate Whose Career of

'At my first meeting with Sam

me an honor that few men would care
to receive, said Wash Parker, an old
time Nevadan. HE invited himself to
be my travelling companion on two
days wagon journey. | was starting
out one morning with a wagon and pair
of horses from little mining settle
ment known then as Goldcrop. As |
came opposite the hotel large man
standing on the veranda hailed me and
asked if / was going to Virginia City

" 4 reckon I'll go along with You.
I'm Sam Brown, be added May
be you don't have much confidence III
me since hearing my name, but reckon
we'll travel along together all right.
well, there wasn't anything to be
said but All right; jump aboard, and
Sam Brown, with a oarpetbag in his
hand and his pistols bullying under his
coat, came out to the wagon and took his
seat beside me. He proved civil
enough companion, and we got through
to Virginia City all right, with nobody
killed on the way. He had taken along
a bottle of prepared cocktails, and had
a box of cigars, SO that the time passed
rather socially as we made our journey
together.
1--WE went into camp that night at
Sandy Springs, about half way to Vir-
ginia City, and in the course of the
evening he told me something of his
life and adventures. One thing in par
ticular that remember was the way no
came to start out on his career of kill
ing. don't recall whether it was in
Texas or Missouri that this first affair
happened, but 1t was when he was o
hulking young fellow, green and chick
en- hearted, to use his own words in
telling 1t. There was certain gambler
in town where he was staying who
used to bully and abuse him when they
came together. Everyw here and wheney-
er the gambler saw him in saloon he
would kick him about and drive him
out of the place. One day a man I'M
friendly to this gambler said to Sam:
Why do you stand all this abuse
from that gambler? Take this pistol and
the next time he crowds you kill him.
"Sam took the advice and the pistol,
and the next time the gambler went for
him, instead of sneaking away and
looking sorry, he shot his tormentor
