How He Forced a Reversal of Sentf-

ment Regarding Him.
Chicago Record.
One of the journalists in New Orleans,
soon after the reconstruction period, was
a man who. known as Captain Barrett,
subsequently edited the Omaha Herald,
then the Denver News, and finally a San
Francisco paper. Barrett became in
volved, by sonAe means or other. in a
row with the police department of New
Orleans, and in every issue Of his paper
he made things particularly hot for that
department. One morning, however, it
was discovered that the police had got
even with their enemy by posting Bar
rett all over the town as a coward and
than ever, and he pudged up to the
Times-Democrat Office to talk with Page
Baker about this new indignity.
There is but one thing for you to do"
said Mr.. Baker, land that is to fight.
These fellows think you are a coward,
and they have posted your as such. Now.
you must either prove they are liars by
fighting them or u swallow their in
suit and get out of town."
but never had a fight in all my
life," pleaded Barrett. How am I to
go about it?"
Buy a pistol and blaze way at the
first one of those fellows you meet" said
Baker.
..AIl right" said Barrett. and off he
pudged.
ven, he Quietly Sllppeu lHlO d gun
store and bought q big, ferociouS revolt
yer, and then he hired a saloon keeper
to load it for him. Thus equipped he
sailed forth. 1t was the noon hour, and
he knew the heads of the police depart
ment lunched every day about that time
at a certain cafe hard by. Thither he
directed his steps, n cautiously he
peered into the crowded cafe; surely
enough, just as he had suspected, the
very men he was after were there, seat
ed around a table, Quaffing their wine
slowing away their viands, and making
merry over the coup by which they
fancied they had finally disposed of their
arch enemy, the coward Barrett.
In another moment Barnet a
stepped into the cafe and was blazing
away at that delectable group. Bang!
bang. seven times bang went that big,
ferocious weapon Barrett didn't know
boob about taking aim or drawing a
bead, or sighting a victim; his idea was
to get effective work as quick as pos
sible. So he kept pulling the trigger n
at the same time describing a circle
with his good right arm. When his sup
ply of ammunition gave out he suspend
ID hostilities, retired in good order, n
went back to his newspaper work, fully
satisfied that he had indicated his
honor.
and captains were di~sentangling them
selves from the heap into which they
had fallen under the table as soon as
Barnet had fired the first shot. Luckily
there was no serious damage done, but
a more surprised lot of men than these
police fellows were you never saw. The
first thing they did when they recovered
their scattered wits was to go about
town and tear down the placards de-
~nouncing Barrett as a coward. and al
ways after hat the police department of
New Orleans held Barrett's pluck in
proper esteem.
