HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF
BUFFALO BILL"

When the Kansas Pacific railroad
was being built through Kansas in
l867-68 1t was necessary to provide
food for an army Of more than 1,500
track-layers. A source of supply was
near at hand-vast herds of buffalo
and men were hired to do nothing else
but kill these animals for food. One
of the best-known of the hunters was
william Frederick Cody, young From
tiersman who mad been pony express
rider and guide for General Custer.
The work was dangerous, for the In
dams did all they could TO stop prog
ress on the railroad. They especially
hated these hunters who killed more
buffalo in one day than they destroyed
In q week, and Cody took his life In
his hands every time he went out. He
soon became such an expert hunter
that the railroad men gave him the
nickname Of Buffalo Bill"
During Codys career as a buffalo
hunter, period of Is months. he
killed total of 4,280 bison. His
greatest exploit was his victory over
Billy ComstOck, a scout and rival
hunter The match was arranged by
officers of Fort Wallace to decide
which of the two men was the great
est slayer Of bison. They were to
hunt one day of eight hours, and the
man who killed the greatest number
of the animals was to be declared the
champion buffalo hunter.
A herd was found and separated
into two punches. Cody Immediately
began riding at the head of his bunch,
shooting the leaders and crowdlng the
followers In toward the center Of an
ever-narow!ng circle. In a short time
he had killed 3S, all Of whom lay dead
over small area. Comstock had be-
gun shooting at the rear of his herd
and, although he killed %, they were
scattered over distance Of three
miles. Two more herds were found,
and when the final count was made,
Cody had 60 and COmstock 46.
Later Cody became a famous scout
and guide. He served with General
Custer In Kansas and General Carr In
Colorado. Cody was known as "Pa
haska-Long Hair" by the Sioux, who
had great respect for his prowess

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOM AND
THE BLOODY ESPINOZAS"

Back In the sixties In the Colorado
gold camps around Pixies Peak the
warning 1.-THE Bloody Esrinozas are
comingw struck more terror TO the
hearts of the miners than the dread
cry of Indians Indians y The
Bloody Espinozas were two Mexicans,
brothers. The older, Juan Espinoza,
believed that he had special mission
to kill all Americans. He ambushed
them in the daytime and crept upon
them at night. His record of murders
Is said to have totaled 80.
In 1863 he killed two well-kn0wn
prospectors of California Gulch, near
Leadville. Their comrades vowed
vengeance on the Espinozas, and after
long chase and a hard battle, they
killed the youngest brother. Juan es-
capped and the next year he was back
In his old haunts In the Sangre de
Cristo mountains robbing stage
coaches and wagon trains and MUIR
dering settlers and miners. He took
his nephew with him on these raids,
and they grew so bold that a reward
of $1,000 was offered for their capture,
dead or alive.
At this time there was living at
Fort Garland little Irishman called
Rocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobin
was his real name, and he was close
friend of Kit Carson. He was one Of
the best mountain trailers
When the report of the Espinozas'
latest murder was brought to the fort
Tobin Immediately volunteered to go
after the bandits. Setting out alone,
he took their trail and stuck with 1t,
although 1t led into the widest parts
of the Sangre de Cristos. Late one
evening he saw from distance two
men encamped under the shelter Of
shelving rock above little stream.
Stalking the two bandits as he
would wild animals, the scout crept
closer and Closer. He knew they could
not be taken alive and he dared not
take the chance of missing his first
shot. The Mexicans we're crouched
over a tiny flame warming their hands,
but In the dim light they offered poor
target even for so good a marksman
as Rocky Mountain Tom.
AT last Juan Espinoza rose. He
stretched both arms wide forming with
his body project cross aud present
ing target which doomed up plainly
against the background of a sky aglow
with the sunset Tobin fred instantly
and the Mexican murderer fell dead
across his camp fire. The nephew
scrambled to his feet. The scout fired
again, and the last Of the Esplnozas
dropped dead.
A few days later Tobin walked into
Fort Garland, carrying sack, and de-
manded reward of $1,000. The sack
contained the heads of the Bloody Es-
pinoZas.

Monarch Endured Long.

The most curious contract ever en-
tered into by an operate star was
surely that of Farinelli, who, about
the year 1884, was deriving an income
of $4,000 per annum. The singer af-
forwards visited Spain, where the
king, Philip Y, was suffering from
mental depression, from which moth
ing aroused him until the advent Of
rarinelli. The queen was so delight
ed to see her royal spouse once more
in anything, that she en-
gaged Farinelli at a salary of f2,OOO to
in Madrid. This he did, sing
ing the same four songs to the king
every night for ten years. Eventually
Phillip succumbed, but he must have
been a patient monarch.

THE YOUNG PERSON.

Synopsis--Jane Harding, respect
able and conservative old maid
but never too old to think of mar
riage with more money than
brains, is inveigled by a strong
minded spinster. Miss Higglesby-
Browne, into financing an expedi-
ton to hunt for buried treasure on
Leewavd island. Her niece, Fir-
ginia Harding, undertaking to stop
her, gets on the vessel and is UNI
willingly carried along. By no
means concealing her distaste for
the expedition and her contempt
for its members, Virginia makes
the acquaintance OF the Honorable
Cuthbert Vane. Talking with
Dugald Shaw, leader of the expedi-
ton, Virginia very frankly ex-
presses her views, practically ac-
cusing Shaw and the other NOM
bers of the party, including
somewhat uncertain parsonage
Captain Magnus, and shady
'financier," Hamilton II. Tuhbs, OF
being in conspiracy to defraud
Jane Harding, Landing on the
island is a matter OF some difficul-
ty, Virginia being carried ashore
in the arms of Cuthbert Vane. The
party gets settled.
