Butler WON an Locked Up.

A woman about 80 years of age was
locked up in Central station yesterday
at the request of the proprietor of the
Manning house, at Penn avenue and
Eleventh street. She had been there
since December 27th and was known as
Mary Cole, and also as Lizzie Patterson.
Her home is in Butler For some days,
it is said, she had acted as if demented
and at times was slightly violent. The
proprietor had Drs. Cough and Ransom
examine her and they said she was not
sane. She was then removed to the
station and will be given over to the
department of charities to-day. Pitts

the cattlemen grazed their great herds
on the millions of acres of public lands
and amassed quick fortunes from the
free government pasturage.
In those days the cowboys rode the
plains free and unrestrained. disregard
Ing all law, and governed in their con-
duct by nothing except their desires.
They were wild, impulsive creatures,
overflowing with the spirit OF liberty
which they caught from the boundless
prairie and breathed in with the pure.
exhilarating air that intoxicated the
blood with life. vigor and strength.
OF all the cowboys on the plains of
Kansas at that time, old Buck Rogers
was. perhaps. the most impulsive and
reckless. He had for years lived
ranch life. and had chased steers" in
every part OF the cattle range from the
river Rio Grande to the Platte. Be-
sides, he haG fought Indians and Mexi-
can greasers. and had helped Buffalo
Bill round up the meat which he was
supplying, under contract. to the men
who were constructing the Kansas Pa
slfic railroad.
At that time Dodge City was pre-emi-
nently cowboy town. They used to
round up there after payday, blow"
their money into every folly they saw.
get uproariously drunk, and proceed to
paint things ultra red. 1t was nothing
unusual for gang Of men to race up
and down the streets, yelling like Co
manche Indians and shooting at the
signs and terrifying women and chill
dren and the pale tenderfoot almost out
Of life. They had full possession of the
town. and they ran 1t to their own lik-
ing.
II old Buck Rogers happened to be
present he was sure to lead in all this
deviltry. 1t was saying that went
undisputed that he could drink more
whisky. yell louder and shoot straight
er than any other man on the range"
And he certainly did everything that
lay in his power to justify this state
ment.
Often and often as he stood at the
bar OF the saloon and In rapid success
sion tossed glass after glass Of whisky
down his throat until the hardest
drinkers in town looked on in fear and
imazement. Then he would go out and
mount his broncho and, throwing his
hat to the wind, would charge up and
down the street at mad gallop. his
long hair flying out behind. each of his
hands working a pistol with astonish-
Ing deftness. while from his throat
there came a series of the most terrific
and unearthly yells that ever emanated
from human being.
And fight! There was nothing that
old Buck wouldn't stand up before; and
It was his boast that he had never met
anything. either man or beast, that he
had not been able to lay on its back.

HEAD

llcAD.
The boldest and most daring cowboys,
even those who possessed an enviable
reputation as fighters, sang very low
Of their prowess when Buck Rogers was
around. He was not only brave and
reckless. but he was as strong as an
OK, and blow of his naked fist, fair
ly planted. was enough to settle man
for all time to come.
Ono day down at Dodge City lot of
cowboys were talking about old Bucks

Then I'll tell you about 1t. 1t was

town blowing in their money. There
was just one saloon in the place, and,
OF course, that was where the crowd

well loaded with liquor slick stranger
made his appearance at the saloon and
opened up with some kind OF a film
