tared Of Joe Slade than God Almighty" is what
ley used to say about him.
| He came from Illinois, sodered in the Mex
pm War and headed west with an eastern sheriff
Rt on his trail after he killed man At st. Joe
| went to work for Russell and Ma jors, freight
s and tending stock. He was a hard worker and
s bosses got to think lot of him.
When the Pony Express started, Julesburg
fs one of the main points on the Overland Trail
was located in northeastern Colorado and was
e turning off place for stages and freighters
ling to the new town of Denver.
There wasn't much there just few houses,

man, called Rene Jules. He gave the place
name, and a bad reputation along with it. Jules
bs hard customer. Most folks were afraid of

|king-pin IN that country so the Overland stage
hde him agent in charge of that division.
Right off, company stock began disappearing
10 Jules corrals. Stage passengers grumbed
bout their treatment. Express riders kicked.

had already killed two or three men for less than
that. Maybe he figured his own bad reputation
was enough to protect him.
Anyway. the big Frenchman caught him off
guard.
AS they turned from the corral Jules whipped
out brace Of forty-fours. Five bullets tore into
SHADES body before he had a chance to draw.
Some say Slade wasn't armed but / never
believed that. figured Jules got the drop on him
and Slade couldn't help himself
The wounded man staggered but kept his feet
AS he stumbled slowly back to the express station
Jules tramped along behind him. like hunter wait
ing for a shot buffalo to drop But Sade kept
going. Blood was squirting from his body at every
step. At the station Jules reached inside the door
and grabbed up shotgun, drew quick aim on his
staggering target and pressed the trigger.
Well Slade was human after all. He couldn't
catch lead all day and stay on his feet. Eight
more sugs ripped into him from the blazing shot
gun. He dropped
The clustering Jules put down the weapon and
started to reload his pistols He took look at
his victim. l reckon it surprised him to see SIade
still breathing.

Tut Il -- inside til he dies" he
yelled to some of his men. Several rushed for
ward and picked Slade up.
Jules was in no rush to finish the Job.
Now, he told the boys, git box to bury
i'm in"
That was too much for Slade He pulled him
self up elbow He was lot more dead than
alive, but still could flash fire from his eyes.
Don't bother He was splitting blood with
every word. Damn your cowardy heart, Jules
III live to nail of your to the station door
An III wear tn other for watch-charm!'
Jules was standing around waiting for his
man to die when the stage from the West pulled
in The Concord was loaded with men from the
gold camps where trials were short and the ropes
long.
String i'm up" the Forty-niners shouted
when they heard what had happened Give i'm
a Calforny necktie party"
That was all the Julesburg crowd needed
somebody with enough backbone to lead the way.
Every man ready to shoot if Jules made
break. but he wasn't the kind to fight when the
odds were against him.
\ rope dropped over his head The loose
end was Tipped over the top rail on high corral
fence. A dozen hands jerked the kicking French
man off his feet. The choking rope cut off his
breath. He soon grew limp.
Maybe we oughtn't hang tn cuss til Slade
dies, somebody yelled.
You're a little late, podner," bearded Forty
miner growled, we're a-hangin him already an
it's fittin'"
wal, maybe we are a-crowdin' tn game
mite" another one said
SHADES still a-breathn,' came shout from
the station.
The hands on the rope eased up. Jules feet
touched the ground The bully buckled up in the
dirt under the makeshift gallows. AS the rope
loosened he began gasping for breath. His buster
was gone
"Tll leave tn country, men, so help me-" he
blubbered. Don't hang me! I'll go. I'll GO
Sade was still alive SO the executioners gave
Jules his life, but warned him to keep his promise
to get out of the country in hurry.
W. ELL sir, Slade lived They took him east
w and pried some Of the lead out of his skin,
but they never got it ALL He packed some of Jules
bullets til the day he died.
AS soon as he got better he came back on the

rolled over his part of the line on time There were
two good reasons Slade kept the eauipment up
ana the drivers knew they better not be behind
schedule The Pony Express riders never had to
worry ABOUT Their horses being ready at the relay
points when Slade was on the Job
Oh sure, he had to kill men to do it. but he
figured that was part of his job. The country was
full of outlaws and rustlers. The Overland's good

When Mark Twain went west on the Overland

his credit. Mark thought he was pretty lucky to

Slade might change his mind and shoot him for
taking it.
1t wasn't long after Slade returned to the divi-
sion that he heard his old enemy Jules was still in
the country. The understanding the boys gave
him had been forgotten. He was the same old
staggering bully again, telling everybody he was
