How Outlaws and Indians handed To-
Gether to Capture the Over
land Stage Coaches.

Col. Jim" Stephenson, the livery
man of Omaha, is one of the veteran
freighters of the old west. There are
not many of the tribe left, and few Of
them at any time had more adventur-
Gus experiences than he. The terror of
the freighters in those remote times
was Three-Fingered Jack, who was as
sisted by Roman Nose and a band of
so Sioux. In those days Stephenson
was driving a Concord coach, one of
line of which he was operating, making
connection with western railroads. One
of these coaches was set aside to carry
treasure. By leaving Omaha on Mon
day morning the 600 miles to Denver
could be made by Saturday afternoon.
One day the coach started out with
100000 for Denver. Stephenson drove
the six horses himself as far as kear-
ney. There were five passengers and
Ben Adams, the guard. Two hundred
miles out, near where Lexington, Neb.,
now is, while the coach was climbing a
hill, Jacks band blocked the road. He
yelled to Stephenson to pull up, but
Jim cracked his whip on the horses,
which sprang forward and two of the
outlaws were run over before they
could get out of the way.
Stephenson says: "At the same time
Ben Adams fired both barrels Of a
heavily-loaded shotgun into the band
and killed three of their number. From
both sides of our treasure coach the pas
sengers fired their pistols at the out
laws. They did little execution, but the
bandits evidently thought they had sur
prised an army from the way they scat
tered. gained the brow of the hill be-
fore the road agents were ready to act
They poured a volley into the rear of
our coach, which killed two passengers
outright and wounded George Golden.
In spite of his wounds the brave fellow
climbed up to the rear window of the
coach and as the great vehicle swayed
and rolled as we dashed wildly down
the hill poured shot after shot into the
outlaws. This kept the bandits at dis
tance, and they were afraid to approach
until their Indian allies came up. We
came two miles down the hill in three
minutes. AS we reached the foot of
the hill the Indians hove in sight.
They could not get up close to us and
the road agents were afraid. They
sent cloud of missiles through the
coach, over our heads and into the
horses pulling the coach. One arrow
pierced the face of Golden as he de-
Tended our rear. Another feathered
shaft stuck into Adams back. In ad-
dition he received no fewer than ten
other wounds. In spite of the jolting Of
the coach he managed to knock several
of the pursuers from their horses with
his rifle.
THE gang followed us until the post
was almost in sight and then drew off.
OF the five passengers four were dead
and Golden was desperately wounded,
but recovered "-Denyer Times,

with an insistent "Way-way for mon

This cry of theirs was being constant

Il must say good-by here, Belin. We

He laughed and said: "Not yet good

IN THE SiERRAS.
So far away the city lies.

30 far away the city lies,
Deep in the fog-hung vale below,
I cannot hear its murmurs rise
TO fret these mountains crowned with
snow.
Ny soul is tired OF storm and stress,
The tumult of the peopled ways
The crowded streets are emptiness
That mock the passing of the days.
But here there is no sound to mar
The silence; and one almost hears.
Threading the solitudes afar
The faint, soft footballs of the years.
seek the wood paths and the streams,
Following the devious ways thereof;
To dream the half-forgotten dreams,
To live the memories of love.
Twas here we heard the linnet trill
At summer morns beneath the caves;
Against the blue above yon hill
The fir tree traced its fernlike leaves.
Twas there on radiant afternoons,
A golden haze lay on the slope,
When all the world was loves and Junes,
And heart-throbs beat the hours of hope.
Between me and that long ago
The years gray levels intervene,
Like the dim valley stretched below,
From attitudes of love unseen.
And soft summe mists that fall
On distant slopes and woods and streams,
Lies on the days beyond recall
The golden glamor of our dreams.

A Biz Sensation in Rabun.

Clayton Tribune, November 10: The

United States authorities, charged with

proJuscly laden with rumors, criminal in
their character, is stating tho matter in
mild form.
For about three years there have been
whispers, rumOrs and low rumbiing ac-
cnsntions against certain parties, but not
until Saturday was q crater formed and
the strained, low rlImbling allowed FREQ

the mysterious disappearance of John

of this county, near Chattooga river.
Swahords some time previous to his dis
appearance worked at Highlands, N. G..
lie was on his return to Highlands from
visit to his home, and when last seen
was near the Powell Gap school house,
near Mr. benjamin Dockins' residence.
From that day to tho present time Swat
ford has never been heard of by friend
or foc-in this section.
The parties arrested arc cx-Sherif j.
Is. Dockins, M. V. Beck, jeff Swoiford
ana Lafayette Dockins, all prominent
citizens of the county, and as soon as
thcy were informed of tho accusations,
came to the officers and submitted to ar
rest, and subsequently allowed their
freedom until the government officers
could summon witnesses. Tho witnesses
summoned to testify in tho case arc J.
NJ. league, Davis Hunter, Floyd Ramcy,
II. NJ. Wall, John J.. Handy, josie
Swaiford, Fred. Bowers, Mrs. Bowers,
