good fellow, well up to his work as q
cattle man and too much of n gentle
man to feel, much less assert, any su
perlority of station. He had the lar
gest ranch in the country and was one
of HE few men making money.
a hlcy's chief friend, or at least most
FREQ lent companion, was a man whom
they called the Duke. No one knew
his name, but every one said he was
"thc son of II lord." and certainly from
his style and bearing he might be the
son of almost anything that was high
enough In rank. He drew "a remit.
tancc,' but as that was paid through
Ashley no II knew whence 1t came
nor how much it was. lie was a per.
feet picture OF n man, and in all west
ern virtues was easily first. He could
rope a steer, bunch cattle, play poker
or drink whisky to the admiration OF
his friends and the confusion Of his
foes, of whom he had a few, while MS
to "bronco busting" the virtue par ex.

Bronco Bill was heard to acknowledge
that che wasn't In 1T with the Dock,
hoi ~ WIS nlS opinion mat ne could
ride anything that had legs In under it,
even If 1t was n BANKED centiped,''
And this, coming from one who made
a profession of "bronco busting" was
unquestionably high praise.
The Duke lived alone, except when
he deigned to pay q visit TO some lonely
rancher who, for the marvellous charm
OF his talk, was delighted to have him
as guest, even Mt the expense Of the
loss of a few games at poker. He
made a friend of no one, though some
men could tell of times when be stood
between them and fheir last dollar, OK
acting only the promise that no men
ton should be made of his deed. He
had an easy, lazy manner and n slow,
cynical smile that rarely left his face,
and the only sign of deepening passion
In him was n little broadening of his
smile. Old Latour, who kept the Stop
ping Place, told .nc how once the
Duke had broken Into a. gentle laugh.

that the affair was voluntary on the

of his presence until the animal seized
her. A physician was called and

NEW GARE(BB B
ESCAPED CONVICT GETS NEW
cLoTHEs-sTEALs A sklFF
AND GETS AWAY FROM
HIS PURSUERS.

| Another chapter has been added to
| the history of William Wade, the ne
gro convict, who escaped from the
penitentiary farm near Moundsyille
last Thursday, says the Intelligencer-
Wade is now armed with a Wfnches-
teh rife and is evidently travelling
southwark through the State.
It was learned at the penitentiary
yesterday afternoon that Wade had
broken into building at Powhattan
and had secured a change of clothing
and rifle which was in the room. AT
ter divesting himself Of his prison
garb he stole s1iff from the land
ing and crossed to the West Virginia
shore.
The skiff was found in the willows
mile below Powhattan. With a
Winchester rifle and plenty of ammn-
milton in his possession, Wade is
dangerous man as he. certainly will
not submit to capture without fight,
and it is believed that he would not
hesitate to kill man if it will secure
a continuance of his freedom.
The gun and clothing were stolen
from gentleman named Potts who
found Wade's prison clothes lying
nearby. Wade had carefully removed
the marks and numbers from each
piece Of the clothes but they were
easily identified by the peculiar coarse
fabric of which they are made. AL
though the robbery at Powhattan was
known about the village early in the
morning no word was sent to the peni-
j,, "a Of
It was then too late to start guards
in pursuit as Wade had many hours
the start. although it is possible that
he slept during the day and will traV-
el at night, full moon making livery
easy for him to find his way or he
may steal another skiff during the
night and float down the river until
day breaks and then lie concealed in
the woods until night and SO repeat
the performance until he reaches ms
friends in the Southern end of the
State.
Wade escaped about noon Thurs
day and was closely followed by
until Saturday evening, when
the pursuit was abandoned as 1t was
thought that he had gotten entirely
away and was far down the river
Subsequent developments, however,
proved that the surmise was not cor
rect as Wade must have been very
close to the guards who were hunt
ing him, but fortune favored him and
be kept out of their sight How he
managed to live is mystery. as It
IS pretty certain that he secured no
food from any one and he must have

le could steal for ne mad no fire. tel
