any place and held up six men, or 30 men,

on his person, and that he would not get
away without having each and every one
of them take shot at him.
WILD WEST WAS SAFE.
Both life ard property were remarkably
safe IN those days when every man went
armed and knew how to shoot. There
were many shootings and killings, to be
sure. but these were generally ouarrels
between bad men. The individual who
minded his business was not molested
There is abundant testimony TO that ef-
feet Mr.. Bell. for example, was never IN
any danger OF his life. The only place in
which he WAS molested in any way was IN
the center of United States military post
where there were more than n thousand
soldiers on hand 10 enforce the law. At
this place, Fort Union, his horse was
stolen from the stable of an officer. In
Trinidad, Colorado, typical Western
town. more than half Mexican, having
neither courts nor officers OF the law, he
reports that both he and his property
were perfectly safe. Nobody stole his
horse because the good people of Trinidad
made speciality OF lynching horse thieves.
While he was there, q miner came in from
the mountains, who had killed his partner
about year before. Meantime he had
grown heavy beard, and he trusted to
this disguise and time TO have obliterated
the memory of his crime But when he
went into saloon and began to drink, the
saloon began TO fill up with quiet, de-
termined-looking citizens. The miner was
very quietly surrounded and disarmed.
He was gwen an Informal trial and hung TO

long hard fights in that country were over

once been legitimate business and were
slowly outlawed. After the Civil War, the
plains swarned with unbranded cattle,
and the rounding up and branding OF
mavericks was n good and honest bust

the cattle, and they wanted this ristling
