Deal with a Minister.

Nothing was done against him, how
ever, until when, earlier In 1888, a minis
ter came to the place for the purpose of
locating a church. He began soliciting
subscriptions for the erection of his house
of worship, but was unsuccessful. Some
wag suggested to him that he appeal to
"Soapy Smith" for assistance. He did
so, and to the surprise of every one
Smith declared that he believed in churches
and then and there donated $500 to the
enterprise, paying the money to the minis
ter. The minister was delighted, and
began to report his progress to Smith
from time to time. Finally $500 was
raised and this was taken to Smith, with
the information that 5000 was necessary
to found the church.
Smith praised the mans work and told
him that II he would secure $500 more
elsewhere, that he himself would make
his subscription $780, instead OF $780, thus
making up the required amount The
$500 was secured and Smith made good
his word, paying over the extra 500. But
as the man was leaving the place he
was confronted by a person, afterward

handing back about $50, with the iniunc-
ton TO init the trail" The minister ap-
pealed TO Smith, but the latter coolly told
him that he had better leave town before
some one took the fifty from him. The
minister left after telling his story to
the people he met on his way down to
the wharf
The town murmured and a public indig-
nation meeting was talked of and planned.
Smith gave it out that he would kill any
one who attended the meeting When
the time arrived Frank II. Reed was the
only person at the appointed place. What
prevented the subsequent tragedy between
these men at that time is not known.
Fourth of July Begins End.
The Fourth of July arrived and Smith
declared that he was the master Of cere-

yet during the day several open holdups
were perpetrated and he was known TO
be the instigator. People were becoming
aroused and some Of the gang, seeing
trouble ahead, left the place. The day

broad daylight the money was taken from
him.
This time the citizens planned a concerted

OF the principal corners and plans were
under way for law and order committee
During the progress Of the meeting Smith
appeared and ordered the people to dis

In their Library of Art the Scrbners will soon

of IiveIier interest than anything else brought
