ON THE RANGES.
Many Murders Committed on
the Western Plains.
Men Shot Down in Cold Blood by
Desperate Characters.
Interesting Interview with Harry n
Lee of This City.

Yes, | have known Of several in
stances where murders have been COM
mittcd in the Western country, and
nothing ever done to the murdeTers,"
said Harry H. Lee of this city, To the
Journal, yesterday. Mr.. Lee has seen
every phase of cowboy life, on the
ranges and in the towns OF the grazing
country. and it is very interesting to
hear him relate "reminiscences Of the
past concerning events which are well
remembered by him.
Il recall an incident that happened
in Trail City several years ago" con-
tInucd Nj. Lee. Trail City is located
on government land, strip four miles
wide, bordering on Kansas, Indian
Territory. Texas and Colorado. The
town is a pretty lively place. especially
when the boys come in off the ranges
FOR a good time. There are lots Of
good COW boys in that country and
when these sort of fellows come into
town they generally give up their re-
volvcrs to the hotel proprietor to take
care of the same until they get ready
to go back to work. The bad ones,
those who are merely aching for a row,
don't do this. They keep their guns in
their pockets and on the slightest
provocation will pull and blaze away
at any one whom they think may be
attem pting to impose upon them.
well, one day there was big crowd
of boys from the ranges in Trail City.
They had come from all parts, south
and west. east and north. and things
were pretty lively in the place. Usual
ly cowboys travel in couples, just as
steers train together in pairs; they
sleep. eat, ride and go on good times
together. In fact, they are generally
inseparabie.
ION this particular day couple of
cowboys came into the city early in the
morning. One of them, whom | will
call Jim, was a good fellow. AS soon
as they had reached the hotel where
they had planned to put up while in
town. Jim gave his shooting irons to
the hotel clerk and had them locked in
the safe behind the counter. His COM
rade. however, was called Bill, kept his
gun with him. He said he didn't know
but he'd have a chance to use 1t.
Then they started out to do up the
resorts of the place, the barrooms ana
the gambling houses. After a time
they became separated. Jim remaining
in a place to play billiards with the
proprietor. while Bill went away to try
his luck at roulette. as he said. Later
on. Bill came back and found the sa-
loon in an uproar. His partner Jim,
unarnaed as he was. had gotten into an
alteration with the proprietor ana
that individual deliberately went De
hind the counter, picked up 32-caiipre :

from this city by American Express,
yesterday. 1t contained a big lot Of

Ernest Elton Company in 1.-THE Galley
Slave"

The remarkable success which attended
the revival of Bartiey Campbelfs cele-
brated play 1.-THE Galley Slave at the
American Theatre, New York. last
month, induced Ernest Elton. the well
known character actor, to arrange
for a special tour of this famous
play with a selected company of
artists with special scenery and effects.
'.The Galley Slave some years ago had u
world wide popularity-it is not as the
title might imply, a blood and thunder
melo-drama, but a romantic play of abb
sorbing interest, with all the elements Of
comedy and pathos, and literary merit
far exceeding many more pretentious
works of later years. 1t will be produced
at the Opera House on Friday evening,
May %, and Saturday matinee, the oath,
by the Ernest Elton Company.

But He Said 1t SO Politely"

| One of the most telling songs in
| Miss Simplicity" the new operate
comedy in which Frank Daniels is to
appear at the Opera House next Mon
day evening, is an amusing ditty en-
titled. But He Said 1t So Politely"
The positive originality OF the com
position is said to be enhanced by the
effectively comical way in which it is
rendered by VIII Danforth, a comedian
OF experience in comic opera, who will
be remembered as having made a hit as
the chief of the bandits in. Frank
Daniels presentation of The Ameer"
Inasmuch as the song, But He Said
1t So Politely" is good specimen OF
the lyrics in Miss Simplicity" one of
its stanzas may be aptly subjoined. 1t
runs as follows:
"Politeness, let me tell you, is a very
gentle art,
1t softens all asperities, and heals the
wounded heart;
For instance, When an Emperor upon his
lordly head
Received pot of yellow paint. what do
you think he said?
He fixed the lucklcss painter with his
basilskian eye
And called him names, to mention which
| wouldn't dare to try
ass rabbit, too,
A blankety-blank poll parrot and u
blooming kangaroo"
Refrain
But he said it SO politely. Politely? Po
litelyi
He said it so politely that the painter
stopped to hear;
He called the man a lobster,
A dizzy, dazZy lobster;
But he said it 50 politely, it was music
to the ear.

Waterville. Good seats can still be OBJ

Another instance came to Mr.. Lees
mind aud he related it as follows:
I'm one Of the villages of the grazing
country there lived four brothers, all
big, StTapDing men, and one of them,
who was bigger than all the others,
must have stood 6 feet in his stock
ing5 ana big in proportion. Unlike the
usual run of large men he was COW
ardly sort Of fellow, for he was always
picking ulCn a little chap in the vii
ld=e, who used to play poker with him.
If the smaller man happened to say or
10 anything Ec didn't like he'd slap his
face with the palm Of his hand or kick
hira gently with his boot Of course
the little fellow didn't like it, and yet
he stood the abuse as best he could for
4 long time.
The big fellows name was Hender-
son and the other was called Joe
Shorty, although that wasn't his name.
So ono day several gangs of the boys
arranged to 90 up into q Kansas town,
where an election was 10 take place,
tor a racket. Henderson and his three
brawny brothers went with one party
and Shorty Joined another. There
must have been 35 to 40 of them in all
when they got together in the town.
fright in the most prominent part
of the town Henderson and his broth
crs came across Shorty. He didn't
know Shorty was coming and the mo-
ment he saw him he began picking up
on him. just as he used to at home.
He called him vile names cursed and
swore at him. and finally moved toward
n; ,x-;t1 ct " IN. CIV -
him in the face. There was some
pretty quick action on the part of
Shorty just then. He out with his re-
volver and shouted:
Don't you dare come nearer Hen
derson. or I'll shoot, You've picked on
me long enough at home. You can't do
it here!'
But Henderson was mad and crazy
pulled the trigger OF his revolver and
Henderson dropped to the ground,
dead.
Although this happened in Kansas,
there was nothing done to Shorty. The
fact that 4 great bruiser Of q man had
been picking upon and abusing a very
much smaller one appealed to the sense
of fair play. which is predominant in
ine heslIiS vi the hangers OF the W est /

thought of in connection with his dfsap-
pearancc. y few months ago in north
western Colorado Matt Rush. ranchman
who had settled in fine grazing country,
was killed while he was eating supper IT..
his cabin Somebody had crept up to the
building and fired through a crack in the
logs. Rush's partner, James Dart, was
shot dead when he stepped out OF the
cabin.
In Wyoming the killing of the Nickel
boy was preceded by the murder of two
ranchmen in the Iron Mountain district
These men were shot down in cold blood
one of them being shot as he entered his
cattle corral. The Nickel boy was shot
not far from his fathers cabin. The cid
er Nickel had been repeatedly warned t.
leave the country on account Of trouble
with cattle owners. His fences had been
cut and he had threatened to retalatc by
poisoning all the cattle that strayed on
his ranch. This is thought to have led to
the assassination OF his son.
The war of the cattle and sheen inter
ests of the West has been a matter of
history for several years, and bloody his
tory at that. The cattlemen complain
that a flock of sheep will ruin a grazing
country by trampling the ground so tina!
the grass will not grow again. They
have fought the sheep men in the courts
and have been beaten, and now the IA
vorite method of warfare is to yet

cattlemen, of course, are not without
justice on their side. They suffer innu

abound, and in several states there are
