A oE6PERADO'9 NERVE.
IN AnAbrity Toward tho Man Who Had
Como 10 Hang Him.
]. K. Chambers, Union depot tiok-
ct agent, when In q reminisoent
mood, can tell many interesting
stories of the west in early days.
He was In the service Of the gov
eminent at Sydney when that town
was the toughest place in Nebraska,
If not in the west and whence per-
sons bound for the Black Hills
started.
A few days ago Mr.. Chambers was
sitting in the Milwaukee oity office,
and the conversation turned to early
DAYS in the transmissouri country
and bravery.
"The man Of iron nerve I saw In
Sydney in 1877, said Mr.. Chambers,
twas beardless man, scarcely more
than a boy, and I should Judge had
not reached his majority.
HE was a tough man even in Sgd
ney, and his reputation was sustain
ed, for he always carried a revolver
and he would shoot at the drop OF
the hat. His name was Dough Reed.
1T was said around town that he
would never die natural death.
THAT turned out to be true, as he
was lynched by a mob one morning,
and that Is where he displayed his
nerve.
1.-THE lynchers took the keys and
unlocked the doors and went into
the cell where Reed was.
HE was smokinga cigar when the
men came in, and when he saw them
he looked up as cool as you please.
"'Good evening, gentlemen. I
suppose you are going to take me
out and hang me, he said as nom
ohalantly as though he was asking
them to take drink.
He was told that he was correct
in his supposition.
HE got up as unooncernedly as
you please, and putting on his coat
remarked that he was all ready II
the rest were.
HE walked through the Jail and
out into the moonlight, smoking his
cigar and even making little rings
of smoke.
HE simply glanced up at the
moon, and turning to one of the
men asked him where he was going
to be swung off, saying that it was
of no use walking man a mile or 80
out into the country.
HE was marched up the street to
q telegraph pole that stood in the
very heart of the town.
"By this time half the townspeo-
pie we're around.
IA rope had been brought along,
and it was slipped over his head, and
he was bound.
"'I can't climb that pole and fall
of. I fought to have ladder so as
can get up, he said, and accord
ingly a ladder was brought and
placed against the pole. He was
asked if he had anything to say and
remarked that he hadn't, and if he
had he wouldn't.
when the ladder was placed
against the pole, ono of the men
started up to tie one end of the rope
about the pole.
"'You needn't do that he said,
for if you will unwind these cords
about my wrists III do it..
1.-THE cords were unwound, and he
climbed up the pole as far as the
ladder reached and fastened the rope
around the pole.
when he had done this he look
ed around over the crowd, standing
very quietly then, and called out:
"'Goodby, boys'
with that he jumped off the lad
der, and in a few minutes his lifeless
body was swinging there.
His nerve never forsook him
once. He acted through it all just
as though he was used to it. He
was the nerviest man ever met. "

impairment of vision, even to the extent OF
blindness, dizziness, or vertigo, tobacco asth-
ma, dignity suff;cation, dull pain In region
OF the heart followed later by sharp pains,
palpitation and weakened pulse, resulting in
fatal heart disease. 1t also causes loss of
vitality.

There are two elements in this little town
of ours: one favors or is in sympathy With
gambling and blind tigers, the other is try
Ing 10 break up gambling and exterminate

AS the trouble today proves
To-day's trouble began last night abou'
eleven o clock when Warden Pittmnn and Mar
shs Reavesarres,edJ NJ Smith aud B Langin
J. + Shirley's store for gambling with
cards To-day other arrests were made, viz
J. f. Shirley for keeping gambling saloon
aud P. White for aiding and abet,inZ in
games Of cards for money The prisoners
were released on bond and tried before the
town court this evening, except P. White who
skipped his hopdsmea and B. Lang who es.
capped the officers of the law last n,ght
The verdict of the court in both the Smith
and Shirley cases was a fine Of S25 each OF
ten days in prison. Now the real trouble
begins The court ordered Marshals ReaveS
and Kilgore to take charge Of prisoners.
Smith refused 10 pay fine and resisted the
Marshals, saying be wond notgo TO the guard
house. When tie marshals attempted to
carry ihm by force several citizens: synps.
thizers with the law breakers, said thai
Smith should not be placed in guard house
They became very demonstrative, showed
fight and swore promiscousy. Chairs were
held in thr eatening attitude over the Mar
shals, while others were only waiting for the
"bal TO open" One citizen ran across the
street to his place Of business, eridently for
f:e arms, and rushed back in the crowd. Al
this point, in order TO avert stree; row,
boud in lieu OF fne was accepted from prls.
oner Thus the town had to make concession

while but everytbng is qulet o.oight.
This is plain statement Of the case and
