Mr. Penny's Tellow Dog.
Erastus Penny, who accumulated a
Ipk modest fortune years ago in the town of
p"f" ; Bunker by farming and money loaning
on improved real estate, was not renownj?2f|'
ed for his generosity as a giver.
g|i-: Two years before the great mortgagee
death, foreclosed upon him he was the
owner of a yellow dog.
&' This dog had been a tramp, but one day
- while paying an informal call at the farm
it had evidently discovered in Mr. Penny
some agreeable qualities that had escaped
*the observation of his neighbors and
promptly adopted him. The process of
i getting something for nothing, even in
the case of a yellow dog, invariably
appealed with power to farmer Penny,
and he graciously permitted himself to
be adopted.
. In a few months the yellow dog was
the talk of the neighborhood. He worried
ducks, killed chickens, stampeded
r calves and even throttled sheep.
... On Christmas morning as the Rev.
Abijah Jones, who lived half a mile away,
tons shoveling a path through the snow
a?.; t between the parsonage and the road Farm?,1er
Penny drove up with the yellow dog
his hntrcrv.
! "Merry Christmas, Brother Jones!",
lie cried cherrily a few moments later as
he led the dog Into the yard.
"The same to you, Brother Penny,"
j was the hearty reply.
"Waal, parson," continued Farmer
Penny, "this bein' Christmas I thought
Td remember ye. Knowin' ye was powerful
fond of animals I've brought ye a dog."
"Thank you, sir, thank you," cried the
astonished and dismayed minister, who
knew the yellow dog by reputation. "This
present of yours calls to my mind more
forcibly than ever before the truth of the
Biblical saying that 'it is more blessed to
give than to receive.'"

The frog kindly complied with the
request, and presently the discarded skin
lay stretched along the ground.

"No," said the snake. "There is something

Tomb of Zachary Taylor.
"Z. Taylor. Died 1850."
That is the inscription on the tomb of
Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the
United States.
A correspondent who recently visited
the tomb of "Old Rough and Ready" says
for over half a century it has lacked the
carc of a kindly hand and is fast falling
into decay.
The tomb lies five miles from Louisville
and is off the road. Ivy riots over
the weatherbeaten blocks of granite. The
fastenings on the door are red with rust.
So far as is known no key has turned the
lock for fifty years. Visitors are rare. It
is doubtful if half a dozen tourists visit
the tomb during a twelvemonth.
And this neglected spot is the last resting
place of the hero of the Black Hawk
and Florida Wars. Here is the dust of

PLEASANT AND MOST EFFECTIVE.
T. J. Chambers, Ed. Viudicator, Liberty,
Tex., writes Dec. 25, 1902: "With

Second only In name and achievements
to Joaquin Mnrieta in the history
of California highwaymen stands
Tlburcio Vasquez, who was born at
Monterey in 1839. Vasquez was a hybrid,
half Indian, coarse, treacherous,
brutish.
When he was barely fifteen the boy
became involved in a quarrel with an
American over a pretty Mexican girl.
It was at a danca, and the town constable,
likewise an American, interfered
to stop the quarrel. Vasquez turned
THE OUTLAW SHOT MABTEI DEAD.
upon the officer lite a flash, stabbed
him to death and rushed from the
dance halh^ He fled to the mines at
Sonora, where many of his countrymen
had gone and which bad already beI
come a favorite refuge for Mexican
! outlaws.
In 1857 he was captured, but nothing
beyond horse stealing could be proved
against him. He war sent to the state
prison at San Quentin for five years.
On Aug. 17, 1873, occurred one of the
blackest tragedies connected with Vasquez's
long career as a criminal leader,
when be, with six companions, robbed
Snyder's store at Tres Pinos. The store
was a stage and post office and supplied
a sparsely settled country on the road
from and to San Francisco and the
southern mines. Besides the store Tres
? ?n ?
jriuus uunaitru a siuaii nwucu uvici, a
stable for the stage teams and a blacksmith
shop. Why Vasquez and his fellows
wanted to sack this insignificant
station does not seem clear unless it
was that the opportunity was offered
when the mood was on them.
At 7 o'clock in the evening two Mexicans
arrived at the store, riding in
from the direction of Panoche valley
and the New Idra mines. Dismounting,
they entered and engaged the clerk in
conversation. In a few minutes five
others and among them Yasquez rode
up. With no preliminary confusion and
apparently acting in accordance with a
prearranged plan the leader and two of
his companions took up their stations
outside to command the road while the
others joined the two already in the
store.
There were half a dozen men in the
store?teamsters, miners and the clerk,
John Utzerath?when a quick transformation
scene was enacted by the four
Mexicans. From idle gossips they
turned suddenly to fierce, well armed
desperadoes, brandishing guns and ordering
the Americans to throw away
their arms and lie down on the floor to
be bound. There was no question of
resisting. The six men obeyed the order
promptly.
While the four robbers on the inside
were gutting the store in a systematic
fashion those on guard outside were
alert and active. A Portuguese sheep
herder named Martin came up to the
store. Vasquez saw his approach and
called out to him in English to stop.
But Martin could not understand and,
knowing nothing of the business going
forward in the store, started to enter.
The outlaw leader's second warning
was a pistol shot, and the poor, ignorant
sheep herder fell with a bullet in
his brain. A Mexican from within
came to the door to know why the shot
had been fired, but Vasquez waved him
back, calling out that it was nothing.
A freight teamster named Haley was
the next to arrive. As he drove in front
of the store and climbed down from
his wagon Vasquez came suddenly upon
him and ordered him, with a curse,
to lie down and be tied. But the order
did not appeal to Haley's reason. He
began to argue the point, and the hot
blooded bandit swung the butt of his
big pistol against the teamster's head,
bringing him down in a senseless lump.
m
i
? "Curse
the ttupid fool," raged Vaaquez.
"I should have killed him." The reckless,
devil's mood was on him.
Following close after Haley came
George Bedford, another teamster. He I
was quite-deaf and did not hear Tasquez's
command to prostrate himself,
but he saw that trouble was afoot and
ran toward the stage stable..'As be ran
Vasquee's two companions began to
fire. Their shots went wild, however,
and Bedford bad almost gained the
door of the stable wbea the leader
turned and killed him with a ballet
through the back.
The shooting of Bedford had been
seen by Scherrer, the blacksmith,
whose shop stood near the stable. He
thought there was to be a wholesale
slaughter and determined to warn the
hotel keeper, Davidson, of his danger.
Leaving his shop, be made a dash for
the open door of the hotel, with the
Mexicans firing at him. But he gained
the shelter of the hotel unharmed, crying
to Davidson, 'Shut the door quick r
Vasquez, too, had seen the open door
of the hotel and had called out, with an
oath, to have it closed. "Shut that I

Then you won't be hurt!" But there
was some delay, and as Davidson
came forward to obey the order Vasquez
rushed across to hasten the action
by firing through the paneL The bullet
tore through the thin wooden door
and struct the hotel keeper square in ]
the breast, killing him instantly. i
The death of Davidson ended the I
awful carnival of murder. The phm- 1
derers in the store finished their work. ,
The outlaws then made their escape, i
In a short time, however, Vasquez
was hunted out of Monterey county, ,
and late in 1873 the tax collector of i
Los Angeles met him on a mountain
road. Now, Maddigan, the collector,
was an efficient man despite his informal
methods. In the matter of poli
taxes it was his custom to gather them
when and where he could. As Vasquez ,
came up to him, a complete stranger to i
the collector, Maddigan held dp his
hand to stop him.
"Good morning," began the collector.
"I don't seem to remember your face,
sir. Maybe you've not paid your poll
tax. Is it so?"
The outlaw, surprised at the question,
admitted that the little Irishman
was right, after returning a civil salutation.
"Then maybe you'll pay the tax to
me now," said the collector, a peremptory
note in his voice. "Is it so? It'll
be $2." t ,
"Very well, friend," Vasquez answered,
smiling. He gave over the
money, and Maddigan scrawled on a
receipt blank the date and amount,
signed it, then looked up to ask:
"What was the name you said, sir?"
"Vasquez," came the smiling answer.
"Tiburcio Vasquez. Shall I spell it for
you, senor?" For Maddigan's hand had
fallen limp from the book, and his eyes
had opened to a wide, terrified stare.
But he recovered his nerve, filled in the
blank and gave over the receipt Vasquez
laughed at the little man's terror
and, with a cheerful "Adios, sen or,"
rode on. i
From Los Aneelea Vasquez in De
cember, 1873, led a party of twelve
outlaws north Into Fresno county,
where they pillaged the little mining
town of Kingston. Then followed oth- er
raids not so successful. The sheriff
of Los Angeles county took up the
chase in grim earnest, and Vasquez
fled early in 1874 to his old retreat near
Monterey.
The fL'ght south was discovered, and
the Los Angeles sheriff was notified.
It was learned that Vasquez was quar

tered at Greek George's. A watch was
apt nn thp hnnsp. and one day the offi
cers came upon him while the bandit
was at dinner. Vasquez saw the officers
enter the house and, knowing that (
the doors were guarded, jumped
through a window of the dining room. .
He ran for the stable, where a horse
Btood saddled, but a shot from one of
the sheriff's posse stopped him with a
shattered leg. Throwing up his hands
in sign of surrender, he dragged himself
forward to meet his captors. To them
he said as they disarmed him:
"Boys, you have done your work
well. I have been a fool!"
The reign of Vasquez was over. His
band was broken and scattered. Vasquez
was sent to a prison hospital,
from which he was taken and hanged
at San Jose on March 19, 1875. I
