MEL SON DINGLEY.

Right living, official integrity and
unsullied private character were ex.
emplified in the great commoner,
NELSON DrNGLEY, recently deceased.
His death is a loss to the country,
loss to Congress and loss to the
State in which he was born, for which
he labored and upon which he con-
ferred great honor. He was gifted
with great common sense, remarka-
BILE aptitude for comprehending and
presenting the merits and dement's
of public questions, an extraordinary
capacity for hard mental labor, and
indouita5,c zeal n the prosecution IT
public business. He was an honest,
conscientious, high principled man,
com pelling attention by his earnest
ness and conviction by his logical,
plain, straight forward address. The
American shipping and fishing inter
ests owe much to his advocacy OF
their claims; his great labors IN adj
iusting the tariff find fitting nonu-
ment in the measure which bears his
name. A college graduate and
member OF the bar, Mr.. Dingley, forty
years ago, adopted journalism as his
profession and as editor Of the Jour
nal, of Lewiston, Maine, had a
marked influence upon the political
thought of that state. He served in
the legislature and in the governors
chair, and was member OF nine Con-
crosses. His modesty, ability and
quiet demeanor made him universally
respected by his colleagues. who paid
him the compliment of Difference to
and acquiescence in his suggestions
as to the policy to be pursued on the
great public questions of the time.
In the bright galaxy of American
statesmen, few, if any, will be accord
ed higher niche in the Temple of
Fame than NELSON DINGLEY.

ut was Friday and the election was
Monday. A leg-weary, foot-sore, starv-
ing Dane came limping into the COM
munity and claimed the hospitality of
his countrymen. That night he died
and the next morning a Mr.. Peterson
from up Cottonwood creek came into
the undertaker's shop to procure a cof-
fin. He told the story of restitution
and death to the owner of the public
hearse. The undertaken was a republ-
can. He lost no time in retelling if
with establishment to the chairman of
the county committee. Already it was
known the democrats had heard of the
Danes death. No time was to be lost.
DR.. Whitford. Charley Warren and o.
B. O'Bannon vaulted into a light wagon
and drove like mad for Peterson's
ranch, three miles away. They took the
good family by storm, claimed the
right. as friends of Mr.. Peterson and all
MS countrymen. to bury at their own
expense the unfortunate Dusty Rhodes,
and in the end persuaded the family to
give up their dead.
without a moments delay they had
the corpse in the wagon and shortly
after it was under lock and kew in
Warren's woodshed. but none too soon,
Addison Smith, chairman of the demo-
cratic committee, appeared with an or
der signed by six or eight of the lead
ing Danes, authorizing him to receive
the body. Not on your life. Did he get

stranger from the North was buried,

bearers were the candidates on the re-

cession as they could get, but evidently
they realized that it was none of their

Cook and Jim Dooley Cook was a
train robber in Texas, but his career

but was unlucky in getting away. He
never killed a man and robbed only one
train. He was traced from the scene
of the robbery to Folsom, N. NJ, by the
Texas rangers, was tried and sentenced

United States prisoner.

There were many other bad men in
the West whose names are familiar to
the old vigilantes and sheriffs of the
early days. Sam Bass was perhaps the
most daring man killer the West ever
knew. After q chase by the entire
ranger force of Texas, Bass was caught
in a trap at Round Rock, Tex, and
shot by United States Marshal Ware. In

Of Luke, Short, another bad man who
had short career in Butte. I met
Short in Fort Worth some years ago
when he was running the White Ele-
plant gambling house with Bat Mas
terson, just after he had killed Jim
Cartwright. Short had nine men in his
private grave yard and he claimed that
he fought two duels in Butte and killed
both his men, but I have never been
able to verify that story. The affair
with Courtwright I remember well. Jim
had been a policeman at Fort Worth
and started his career by numbering
three MeXicans in drunken spree He
escaped from his captors once in a most
remarkable and daring manner. AL
though charged with murder he was
taken from Jail to a nearby residence
for his meals three times a day. One
day he suddenly turned upon his three
guards and calmly said: I guess I'll
escape oh, I think not said one of
the guards as he placed his hand on his
hip pocket. L think I'll just fool you
says Jim, and then he jumped from his
seat and pointing two revolvers at his
guards he backed out of the room and
escaped. He was hunted high and low
but could not be found, and finally the
state offered a reward of $4,000 for his
capture. One day a masked man step
ped into the sheriff's office at Fort
Worth and demanded the reward. ON
what grounds?' asked the sheriff. None
particular said Jim, except that 7 am
the man you want He got the reward
and with the money employed good
counsel and was acquitted at the trial.
l understand he killed another man
after that and was acquitted. One day
he walked into Luke Shorts place and
demanded a thousand dollars. What
