BRAVE JAMES SHEA SAVES THE

An attempt was made to dyna-

posed De Valera's policies and have
been in sympathy with the Free State
in the hope that only through the
Free State could Ireland gain ulti-

A near panic resulted. Women
screamed and rushed for the exits
when the windows in the hall were
shattered by the force of the explo-

short distance from the hall.
Only the supreme nerve exhibited
by James Shea prevented injury to
many and probable loss of life. Shea

a lighted fuse was attached from the
window sill of the hall and hurled
them into the alley, where the force
of the fall caused the explosion.
No clue has been found as to the
identity of the perpetrators of the
outrage.
Mike Cronnelly and Harold Flem-

they detected the odor of burning
powder. Peering through the screen
they discovered the dynamite lying
on the sill. Fleming kicked the
screen off, knocking the sticks of dy-

by Shea the men rushed out a real

the building. Cronnelly noticed the
sparks nearing the dynamite and call
ed to Shea, Throw it; throw it,"
The warning was none too soon,
scarcely had Shea hurled the dy-

The Judge of the Peoples Tri-
bunal was the only mar who plead
ed to save his life, but the miners
were adamant. SHADES life among
them had been violent, lawless, des-
perate, and no road agent was more
dreaded. There were among them,
however, a few men who would
have given all they possessed to
save his life and wept as the march
toward the scaffo1d started. Upon
reaching it, the execution imme-
diately followed, Slade dying with
the fall of the drop. His body was
removed to a hotel.
A few moments later his wife,
mounted on a fast horse, galloped
up to the hotel and rushed to the
bed on which the body of her hus-
band lay. She gave way to the
widest paroxysm of grief. The

Stealing the stage company horses

necks stretched following SHADES
declaration of war against their
fraternity. In the purchases he
made of ranchmen he sometimes
was victimized and he punished
the dishonest whose tricks he de-
tected severely. Once, it is told.
while buying a stack of hay, he
found that it was composed largely
of bushes. He threatened the
ranchman with death and actually
began preparations for tying him
on the stack and burning him, but
finally compromised by letting the
man leave the country. This was
what Slade really desired.
Was Rigidly Honest
The testimony of those who
knew him best in the staging days
is that he was rigidly honest and
insisted on all of his employees be-
ing SO. In those days he drank
little and to his friends was gen
erous and considerate. But when
his temper was aroused he knew
little mercy.
One of the men with whom he
early had trouble was the French
Canadian, Jules REM, who was
recognized as a leader in the dis
trict where he had squatted on a
ranch. REM took exception to
SHADES display of authority and
collisions between the men were of
frequent occurrence. They were
usually over trivial matters and
Slade invariably forgot them as
soon as each incident passed. Not
so with REM, who was of a venge-
full nature and a good Halter. One
day REM and S1ade were seated on
fence fronting the stage station
at Julesburg, engaged in a friendly
conversation when REM suddenly
jumped to the ground and entered
one of the log buildings. Slade
started to walk away when, with
no warming, REM opened fire on

BACK-TRAILING ON THE OLD FRONT7ERS7

One of the most remarkable
characters of the Overland staging
days of the COS, and later a con-
splcuous figure in the famous gold
camp of Virginia City, Montana,
was Joseph A. Slade, whose name
was known the length and breadth
of the land for reckless daring, as
well as for wild lawlessness, which
finally in 1868 brought him to his
death on the gallows at the hands
of the miners Vigilance committee,
of which he was a member. The
hanging of Slade and the desper-
ate ride of his wife through the
mountains in a vain effort to save
his life form one of the tragic chap
tiers of the western frontiers.
The name of Slade became a BY
word for cruelty through his kill
ing of Jules REM, a border ruffian,
at Julesburg, Colorado, an incident
that Mark Twain dwelled on in his
Roughing It, and the fact that
thereafter. until his death he car
ried the ears of REM in his pocket
as a souvenir Of the occasion, Many
pioneers of the gold camps who arelI
still living tell of having seen Slade
produce the ears of his victim when
in his cups, throwing them upon
the bar with money every time heI
bought a drink.
There Is probably no charactsd
in frontier history csnceFnine
whom there has been more dispute
than Shade. His character and real
1aftire still forms a subject for
warm controversy, for despite his
countless acts of violence and utter
disregard for any laws, no man in /,

Many men who knew Slade in y
timately along the Overland before
he went to Montana gave him
credit for possessing many excel
lent qualities and denied that he k
had ever performed an unnecessary i
act of violence, or one outside of il
his duties in protecting the prop i
erty Of the Overland line. by which i
he was employed in a most import e

but their advice went UNDECIDED.
1t was an invariable custom with
him when intoxicated to mount his
horse and ride through the main
street, entering each saloon as he
came to it, firing at the lamps,
breaking the glasses, throwing the
gold scales into the street or COM
hitting other equally destructive
facts. These were frequently &C
companied by attacks upon by
ISLANDERS that were unprovoked as
they were wanton and cruel, Peo-
Iple soon tired of pecuniary repara-
ton and gentlemanly apologies,
made when he was sober, for a
course of brutality which was re-
voting. All the respect entertain
ed for Slade when sober vanished
when he was drinking.
The beginning of the end came
with Slade when he defied a tri-
bunal known as the Peoples Court,
which had been established to pun
Iish offenders. One day, on being
summoned to appear before the
court to answer to a complaint filed
against him., Slade entered the
court room with his pistol in his
hand and defied the judge and sher-
iff. One of his companions seized
the writ from the officers hand
and tore it to pieces.
A large number of the Vigilance
committee now assembled, and
while they were engaged in coun-
ell a leading member sought out
Slade and urged him to get his
horse and go home. Slade, himself
a member of the Vigilantes, was
startled into momentary sobriety
by this warning and went after
his horse, but before he left the
main street he met some of his
friends of the 1awless element, and
after another drink or two he be-
b%oistefous again and accosted
the Judge of the Peoples Court on
the street in al insulting manner.
The latter urged him to go home
at once. IF you get out of town."
