Dodge City 1885, spraO buildings

Sciences I think he called hinlself-had writ
ten to the Mayor to ask what kind of a point
Dodge would be for lecture. The lecture was
to he free, but he also intimated that he had
card or two up his sleeve by which he ex-
pected to graft some of the coin of the wayfar-
lng man as we'll the citizen. The Mayor
turned the letter over to Bat Masterson, the
marshal, who answered it and invited the pro-
fessor TO on, assuring him that he was
deeply interested in the occult sciences and
would take pleasure in securing him hall and
date, besides announcing his coming.
''Well, he was billed to deliver his lecture
last night. Those old long horns, McNulta and
Lowell, got in with that crowd and while
they didn't know exactly what was coming
they assured couldn't afford to miss it.
At the appointed hour the hall was packed not
more than half being able to find seats. 1t is
safe to say that there were five hundred men
present, it having been announced for men
only Every gambler in town was there, with
fair sprinkling of cowmen and our tribe
CAT the appointed hour Masterson raped
for order chairman, and in a neat little
speech announced the object of the meeting.
Bat mentioned the back of interest in the
West in the higher arts and sciences, and be-
spoke our careful attention to the subject under
consideration for the evening. HI said he felt
it hardly necessary to urge the importance of
good order, but if any one had come out of
idle curiosity or bent on mischief, as chair
man of the meeting and peace officer of the
city he would brook no interruption. After
few other appropriate remarks he introduced
the speaker as DR.. ]. Graves Brown, the noted
scientist.

1E HERE are many players who profess to
a find no trouble with the original or
& free bid who still find some difficulty in
knowing just what constitutes strength
enough for a forced bid.
A forced bid is one that is necessary to over
call previous bid, as distinguished from one
that IS made as an original call. Take the case
OF the second hand. The cards he holds are
not such that he would bid on them if he were
dealer, but when the dealer makes declara-
ton it is up to the second hand to put up some
KIND OF tight or lie down and let the adver-
saries walk over him.
What Justifies bid in such Il position? The
answer depends on due consideration of the
fact that the partner, if he is good PLAYER.
will not credit the bid for being as good as a
free bid, even If it happens to be So Then. as
long as the partner is not going to be deceived.
it is clearly allowable to make such bid on
the strength that he will credit it with. let us
say, trick weaker than free bid
If free bids are to be made on four tricks
we get three tricks as the value Of forced bid.
The point to be kept in mind is that these
three tricks are to be counted in the high
.snder the limitation that named suit must
be the trump. The count is what the hand has
to offer as assistance for a better bid, if the
partner has one.
Counting aces as two each, kings as one and
a klng-qneen suit as good an ace aud so
forth. as previously explained in these arti
cles, it should be an easy matter - count np
any hand with view to determining it's value
for forced bid
There are two common fallacies that lead
many persons astray in their estimate of a
band fer bidding purposes. One is that they
must show their partners what they have.
The other as that six seven trumps and
singleton are good for about five tricks. the
truth being that they are not trunaps urrtil the

Mayor A. b. Webster of Dodge is said to
have been the only man who ever disarmed
BAT" .Masterson The Mayor kept a general
store in Dodge. He was quiet, peace-loving
citizen. In fact, he loved peace to such an
extent that he was willing to fight for it upon
occasion. 1t is related of him that brawing
cowboy, with several homicides to his credit,
came into the Mayors store with the avowed
intention Of shooting up that official Mayor
Webster was at the time weighing out some
sugar for customer. Asking his patron to
excuse him for moment, the Mayor turned
to drawer, produced gun OF sizable charac-
ter and shot the cowboy dead
When the Mayor disarmed "Bat' the latter
individual had come all the way from Tomb
stone, Arlz., to have matters out with q gun
man who had come off first best in a quarrel
with a younger brother, Jim Masterson. "Bat"
and the gunman blazed at each other when
they met in Front Street, but before either
mad been wounded Mayor Webster arrived on
the scene and commanded them to desist. Then
the Mayor walked up to each contestant in
turn and took their guns away, with a few
remarks about the improprety of violating the
peaceful atmosphere of town that had re-
formed its wild ways and had set out to be the
quietest place in Kansas
One of the best stories of the davs vhnn
"Bat" was marshal of Dodge is related as fol-
LOWS by Andy Adams in 'The Log of Cow
ooy,' which is a first-hand recital of life on
the cattle trail from Texas
Some professor--a professor in the occult

table, he informed the meeting that another
interruption would cost the offender his life, if
he had to follow him to the Rio Grande or the
British possessions He then asked the pro-
fessor, as there would be no further Interrupt
tions, to proceed with his lecture.
"The professor hesitated about going on,
when Masterson assured him that it was evi-
dent that his audience, with the exception Of
one skulking coyote, was deeply interested in
the subject, but that no one man could inter-
fere with the freedom of speech in Dodge City
as long as it was free country and he was
marshal. After this little talk the speaker
braced up and launched out again on his lec-
ture. When he was once more under headway
he had occasion to relate something about an
exhibition which he had witnessed while study
ing his profession in India. The incident re-
lated was a trfe rank for any one to swallow
raw, when the same party who had inter
rupted before sang out: That's another
damned lie
"Masterson came to his feet like flash,
gun in each hand, saying: Stand up, you
measly skunk, so can YOU Half dozen
rose in different parts of the house and cut
loose at him. and as they did so the lights
went out and the room was filled with smoke.
Masterson was blazing away with two guns,
which so lighted up the room, that we could see
the professor crouching under the table. OF

SVh at his OeSh IN Tue OInce OF InS
Il Morning Telegraph" a few days ago
has served to recall memories of Dodge
City, Kan. where "Bat,' as he was generally
called, was leading figure.
In the 70's the principal cattle trail from
Texas ended at Dodge City. The liucstook that
was trailed from the Texas ranges was shipped
East by rail from Dodge. The big cattle out
fits brought in their trail herds, and the COW
boys who had chaperoned the beef steers over
the long and arduous way proceeded to have
good q time as the law pernlitted-and some
times better Making them stay within the
limits of the law became matter that called
for the appointment of good men and true
shooters TO the Office of Sheriff Of Ford County.
The cowboys We're always armed, and they
We're reckless. They were not inclined to look
with favor upon any man who attempted to
limit their hilarity.
"Bat" Masterson and his brother Ed were
among those present in Dodge in the most stir
ring times of that settlement. 1t took man
with reputation for fearlessness to be Sheriff
OF Ford County, in which The COW town was
located. Ed Masterson was one of the best
men who held that post of danger. Others
whose names ranked with those of the Master
son boys in the towns annals at that time
were Wyatt carp, Luke Short, Charley Bass

W. H. Harris. The carp family, in particular.
was famous for its gun-tighting ability. "Wild
Blil' Hickok at one time lent his prowess bril-
liantly to the post of marshal.
The term gurfighter is badly misused by
many. One is apt to picture staggering
bad man, OF the motion picture type, eager to
shed blood and not much caring whether it
happens to be the blood Of the guilty or the
innocent. But most of these gunfghters of
Dodge earned their laurels in the interests of
law and order Ed Masterson, young, alert
and untilnchlng in his determination to en-
force the law as Sheriff, was killed because he
requested party of cowboys to give up their
guns as they entered Dodge City dance hall
"Bat" Masterson quickly avenged his broth
ers death. The brothers were never far apart.
and after Ed took the oath of office "Bata made
it point to be on hand at all hours of the
day or night, to be of assistance if necessary.
Bat could not prevent his brothers death.
but he killed one of the cowboys and wounded
several others they fled from town, 1t is
said that with Eds death his brothers. heart
broke AT any rate he was never the same
man afterward, and much Of his taciturritv
In later years was ascribed to the death of
the man who stood closer to him than anv
other individual
After the death of Ed Masterson the office
passed to several others within short space
OF time Bat" himself held the Office for d
while, and Dodge City was never better than
under his rule. Also he was an effective
marshal.
Ono of the most celebrated characters to
assume the Sheriff's badge was a little black
smith named Pat Shugrue Pat was short of
stature, but known to be game. His usual
method of procedure was to walk up to a
