from his law practice that he decided to
take up newspaper writing as a profession,
and accordingly moved to Denver, whef e
he obtained a position on the stan OF the
Denver Tribune.
He corresponded from Denver for the
Salt Lake Tribune. Later a new paper
was started in Laramie called the Boom
erang, after a favorite mule OWL ed by Nye.
and which he called Boomerang" be-
cause he never knew where II wo'ild strike.
At the time Nye edited the Boomerang 1t
was published over a livery stable. A
sign on the door instructed callers to
twist the tail of the gray mule and take
the elevator"
The Boomerang was quoted all over the
country and Nye began to get his reputa-
ton as a humorist of note at that time.
The paper was not financial success, but
IL was the foundation for the fortune
which Nye afterwards made as humor-
ist.
Like many humorists. Mr.. Nye was
man of almost womanly gentleness of dis
position. His amiability was never
clouded. and his good humor was as spon-
taneous as 1t was good-natured. He never
forgot a friend. In later years his writings
and lecturing brought an income of over
So. 900 year. and he will leave a moderate
fortune TO his widow and children.
Mr.. Nye was married In 1877 to Miss
Fanny Smith, of Chicago. With her and
their children Nye lived happily for a long
time on the banks of the st. Croix. and
they went with him to New York city and
made home bright on Staten Island. OF
late years, when he was not going about
the country on lecturing tours. Nye has
passed most of his time at his country
place near this city.
Some of the experiences of his life on this
farm are AMONG his quaintest and best
efforts. OF his appearance all that is
necessary to say is that he looked like his
pictureS" and there Is hardly A man WON
an or child who reads newspapers who
does not know them by heart. Perhaps
the most famous of his humorous writ
inss was the letter to the president of the
United States accepting the postmaster
ship at Laramie City. That letter was
commented upon in seriousness by the
London Times. and the comment was. per.
haps, as funny as the original letter, when
all the circumstances are taken into con-
sideration.

AN OBNOXIOUS NEWSPAPER.
Mitchell Is. D.) Residents Burn Its Plant
Then Pay Tor Ii.

Mitchell Is. ~ Residents Burn Its Plant,
Then Pay for 1t.
Mitchell, 5. D., Feb. 25.-Saturday
evening the many business men of this
city met in an Indignation meeting,
their heap of indignation being directed
towards x. ii. Mcbride, editor of the
Mitchell Mail. For the past four years
Mcbride has, through his paper, acted
as free lance and has, it is stated,
heaped great deal of abuse and ridi
cule on leading citizens and various en-
terprises of the city. From this meet
ing committee Of seven men was Sc
lected to wait upon Mcbride and offer
to buy his outfit, he : thereupon leave
town. Mcbride az reea answer the
proposition Mon' ay morning. Monday
the committee called on Mcbride with
the money to pay for the material, but
he was absent and the committee took
the entire outfit into the street.
sprinkled it with rrsin and set it on fire.
The act was accomplished in broad day
light and some of the most prominent
citizens were at the head of the move
ment. Mcbride left town Monday in D
buggy for parts unknown.
Before taking the summary action
noted, the committee appointed to ne
gotiate with Mcbride, being unable to
find him, appointed one of its number
to act as the editors agent, and turned
over to him sufficient cash to pay for
his plant. This ostensibly lawless act
at the hands of citizens is approved by
nearly everyone as justifiable act of
a long-enduring and patient people.
This act is another link in the tragedy
of this papers editor, Bob Mcbride. A
story of blasted hopes, ruined lives and
the display IL is said of the most malig-
nant efforts to ruin business men Is
mixed up in the case. The history of
the immediate cause of this act of the
citizens of Mitchell is briefly told.
