swung his gun around and commanded everybody to get out of the saloon, which they did without waiting. Mccall stepped out into the street, swinging his Colts about threateningly. After walking a block he attempted to jump on a horse which was standing near by. The saddle slipped, and seeing this method of escape was useless, he continued up the street.
 "We yelled to some campers to stop him. They came up behind him with the bead of their rifles on him. He dashed into butcher shop, where we captured him. When his gun was ex- amined we discovered that it had but one shell and he had killed Wild Bill with that one. A jury was gathered from the miners in the camp, but as there was no law, and some fear of taking the law into it's own hands, Nc Call was freed. He fled to Cheyenne, where he was later captured by the sheriff of Yankton. He was tried, con victed and hanged.
 "McCall's plea at the trial was that Wild Bill had killed his brother in Texas, but no one was ever able to discover that Mccall had a brother. The real reason for the assassination was that Bill had won McCall's money in a poker game the night before, and Mccall swore at the time that he would get even'

WILD BILLS" TRAGIC END.
An Eyewitness Tells the Story of the
 Famous Characters Death.

From the Kansas City Journal
 A number of Abilene people visited recently at Deadwood, s. D. They sought out the grave of w. B. Hickox, better known as Wild Bill" He was the marshal of Abilene in the early days and a famous character. August 2, 1876, he was shot at Deadwood by Jack Mccall. Edward z. Kidd, who still lives at Deadwood, was an eye witness to the killing, and he told this story of the tragedy, which is accepten as containing the exact details.
 q was at work wainscoting hall on Main street," said Kidd, when Wild Bill came into the place with four other men, and they seated themselves at a table in the center of the room. Bill had his back to the door. Un- noticed, Jack Mccall entered, and, walking up to the bar, which was not more than couple of feet from the table where the group was sitting, sneaked out the Colts from his hip pocket, and without word of warning fired. The bullet entered Wild Bills head and came out in the middle of his forehead, and, glancing, struck one of the men at the table on the hand. Wild Bills head struck the table, and min- ute later he rolled to the floor. He died so quickly that he never knew or saw the man who shot him.

boarders are the chief occupations in the Cape villages nowadays.
 And the Cape Cod Yankee, where is he? A number of the retired captains still live in their native villages, growing old gracefully amid the changed surround ings and swapping yarns with their fel- lows concerning the time when the deep sea trade of the world was-a large pro- portion of it-carried under the American flag. As examples of the pure Yankee type of the best sort they are almost unique. Men like Capt Cy Whitaker, in Joseph c. Lincoln's new novel, "Cy
 Whittaker's Place"-a sort of David Harum with salt sea favor-are still to be found, and when found are well worth knowing. Some of them are culti- vated, educated gentlemen; others, like {, Captain Cy, are rougher, gentlemen in thought and deed but speaking with the Cape Cod twang and saltness, dropping their g's and using the quaint idioms | which have come down through the generations.
 In the Cape parlance a crochetty. cross-grained person is unlikely" sociable, companionable one is ''folksy." The wind never blows from the north, but always from the moth" or the mo thard'' A thunder storm is invari- ably tempest" When the sunset sky

There are weather vanes on every barn-a wooden swordfish being the most common-and every old salt glances at his vane before retiring for the night and makes his prophecy concerning the morrow's weather Usually these prophecies are worth needing
 Among a certain class of Codders-the poorer class as a rule-the use of "am" instead of "are'' is a curious habit ''Wem goin' fishin' tomorrow" instead of Eve are going and "You'm looking , fine, aint ye," are examples of this. Men like Capt. Cy Whitaker do not speak thus; their dialect is of milder type and is generally matter of habit rather than lack of knowledge.
 But, the Yankee, if he is disappearing, will not pass without an affectionate chronicer. What Fenimore Cooper was i to The Last of the Mobicans, Joe Lin coln, himself Yankee and a 'Codder," is to the last of the Yankees. He Is pe- culiarly the Yankee writer.

days were not yet over. His father was sea captain and his mother had sailed on her husbands ships for years. Around the center table in the sitting room" of his home and around the stove at the village postoffice the talk had al- ways salty flavor. He knew men who had fought pirates in their youth, had been cast away on desolate islands, had ioated on shaky rafts in mid-ocean, had hobnobbed with native kings and traded beads and colored cloth for copra and pearls. He knew women who had loaded guns to help their husbands and the mates to subdue crowd of desperate mutineers. He lived the life of a Cape Cod community in the seventies, and 1t is of that life that he has written so successfully.
 The very fact that the Yankee atmos- phere of MT. Lincolns book is odd and unfamiliar to most of his readers is a surer indication even than census figures that the Yankee is passing. He may of course remain a namo, but the orig inal stock is rapidly being dissolved in part of that great mixture of races which is going on in America today.
