THE OLD DAYS. A TALE OF NEVADA MINING CAMP LIFE. A Noted Bully Dow ned by a Member ,if the Legal Professlon-The Story. Sam Brown was a blank sheep of the world-wide Brown family de scribed by the author of Tom Brown. In unadultereduud notorious badness he was easily first. He was the orig inal bogey man of Nevada. He was a strapping six-footer, tpugheued by a lite of exposure and peril. He revelled in an atmosphere of reckless debauchery. He was at one time the creature and the creator of the uncurbed license of the early camp. It flattered his vanity to be hailed as a gang leader, foremost of the toughs in the foremost mining camp. He exulted in the knowledge that peaceful citizens shupned nim as a pestilence that walketh in dark ness and lamplight and noonday, and he gloried in thecriningof weak ling and todies. He was not lacking in courage of the reckless, dare devil sort, but he 'took every advantage of brow beat ing and swagger and purposely exag gerated the common dread of nim by parading as a walking arsenal, with pistols in both hip pockets and a long sheath knife struck obstentationsly in his boot leg. A single incident vouched by a dozen eye-wituesses flashed a light on his nature in one glaring moment of revelation. A weak, underwitted lounger, whose feeble discretion was blurred out iu drink, staggered up against him one day in a barroom and made same poor jest at which Sam took offense. On the instant he slung one of his long arms about his prey and holding him as easily as a cat does a mouse, drove the knife to the hilt in his side, turning it “Mal tese fashion,” in the screeching and quivering victim. Then he flung the bleeding and mangled body on the floor of the barroom, and when some rough Samaritans ventured in to carry away the man, still faintly groaning, Sam Brown was stretched out on tue green cloth of one of the pool tables, sleeping as calmly as a child hushed to rest by its mother. Seemingly there was no check to the ruffian’s bravado and brutality. No deputy dared arrest him. No picked up jury could be trusted to convict him. The flimsy “cooler” that served as a jail would not confine him for a day. It remained to shun him or suffer him or shoot him. He bad a ruffian following likely to warn and rescue him or revenge his takiu, off, and he was himself a quick am c\ead shot with his “gun,” so that a man who crossed his way took his life in his hands, and no one was ready to take the risk and responsl bility of ridding the camp of its nightmare. Bo the tiger roamed at large and and at will till the big, red-haired attorney came to the Comstock. He heard of Sam Brown at once, and Bam soon heard of him as an un commonly stalwart and stirring and stirring slit) of the law, which he was pleased to defy. The two men could not live In the camp without meeting, and a meeting of such men must be a collision. The occasion soon come. A mine in dispute was referred to a jury, which met in a toll-house a mile away from the main camp. There was a bar in the house and tolls were taken drinks were served with mono- tom ms regularity. Stewart was engaged as attorney for the plaintiffs and Sam Brown was hired as a wit ness for the defense. It was a clear case of claim-jumping, but the jumpers«were m possession and booked by Sam Brown. This com- blnatlon was more than nine points of the law on the lode at uuy time, ft Was openly boasted that no con testing attorney would dare to con front it and push his case. The braggarts did not know of what metal Stewart was made. It Was a ridging test. Shortly before noon the jury met as agreed, took a drink, and went out together to in spect the actual ground of the claim. The twelve jarymeu returned to the toll-house and took a drink, and Stewart was called upon to produce his witnesses. The fourth mau was shock a revulsion came like the recoil of fine steel. Ilis nerves were strained tense, but .they did not waver. Stewart knew the bully at the tiist. glance, though lie had never seen him before. No one camp ever spawned j two Sam Browns at one time. He had looked for the coming of Brown, and was in a measure pre pared to face him. His baud fell instinctively to the butt of a revolver his hip" pocket under his long Storms testifying, and the jury was listening With interest to the plain, straight forward unfolding of the case under the simple and direct questioning of the lawyer. Of a sudden the door Was slammed wide open by a thunder ing kick. The witness stopped short with gaping mouth. The startled Jurymen rose half out of their seats. They Were sitting on rude wooden benches in a corner .if the room furthest from the door. Stewart sat in front of them On a three-legged stool. He tnrned his head, as did all, toward the open doorway. Filling the entrance wi th his bu rly body, Sam Brown stood scrowling darkly on the spectators. He was on the warpath and needed no war paint to proclaim it. The butts of two heavy revolvers bulged out at his hips and in his boot was thrust his gleaming knife, double-edged and as keen as a razor. It was ms dearest possession. What would hedare? What would he do? It was the common belief that when his blood was up he would dare anything and do murder to wreak his humor. When fired with liquor the slightest crossing roused his fury, and his rage was deadly. Better beard the lion or pluck morsel from a tiger’s mouth than risk tbs kuifeor bullet of tbe pitiless devil. If bub iIobc after” the first iu black coat. He cocked his -pistol without drawing it, and held his finger against the trigger. If there was to lie shooting he did not intend to be a helpless target. Killing a witness was not strictly professional, but it was less objectionable than being killed by a witness. There was no chance of dodging the encounter and no hope of ignor ing the ruffian’s insolence. He must cringe before it or quell it, and criuging would be fatal to his case before tne jury and fatal to his hope of leading the bar. Sam Brown and his fellows would triumph iu his deg- redation and bully him unendingly. If hjs life was spared it would be at the cost of his self-respect and there was no assurance that criuging would shield him. Sam Brown might step aside from an adder, but he would tread on a worm. So the lawyer’s resolution was hardened in a moment that showed the threatening figure with his foot on the sill. He kept his seat on his stool, but turned slightly with his hand on his hip to bring his eye and his pistol to bear on the bully. After the pause in the doorway, cal culated to round out the impression, Sam Brown came on up the room striding and stamping with his heavy soled boots to show his contempt for the court and his mood for a rumpus. A few feet from the startled spec tators he halted, drew himself up to his full height, and stood with his feet apart glowering at the jury and Stewart. No one on the benches cared to catch his eye by a return stare, but tbe man on the stool never took his keen eyes from the face of the ruffian since it was shown at the door. Sam shrugged his shoulders contemptuously, hawked and spit to show that be felt at home, and draw ing down his heavy eyebrows, tried to frown the attorney out of counten ance. But there was no quiver or wincing under the threat. Stewart’s teeth were close set and the lines of his face were rigid. His gorge had risen at the intolerable effrontery, and he was ready to sting. Crisp and sharp- cut as the crack of a whip came his challenge: “Who are you, sir?” This pricked the skin of the bully, who gloried in his inglorious fame iu the camp. “I am Sam Brown,” he roared; “everybody knows me.” Like a bullet came the order. “Take off your hat and sit down! When we want you as a witness you will be called.” This was a shot at the bull’s eye. It confounded the bully. Who was this man who dared to order him about in the camp which he terror ized? He glared savagely at Stewart and his hand stole toward his hip, but it did uot reach it. He caught the instant flash in the eye of the lawyer and the pressure of his pistol hand. He was bold, after his kind, but he saw death iu the mirror of that face and it shook his braggart assurance. He dared uot challenge the shot by a dash. He bad killed men before by firing through his ket, and he saw that his challenger new the trick. His face changed from brutal bluster to sullen be wilderment. He took off his hat awkwardly and sat down on one of the benches. Stewart went on with his examina tion, but always contrived to keep au eye on the bench and his hand on his pistol. When it came his turn to question Brown, he pulled the truth out of the reluctant witness by searching inquiries, and showed no consciousness that the bully was dif ferent from any other witness that day, but he Was careful to observe a bearing of frigid politeness. It was a novel experience for the hectoring bully. The trial came to auend. The jury returned a verdict withonta moment’s delay. Stewart won his case and rose to go. He ol served that the discom fited witness was lingering behind, and he felt that a threat still hung over him. But he was surprised by tbe advance of Brown without a suggestion of bluster. “Will you take a drluk with me, Mr. Stewart?” he asked, with almost a plaintiff note in his tone. Accord ing to the manner of the camp, re fusal of this olive branch would have been a gross insult. “Yes, thank you,” said the lawyer and walked up to the bar. He was careful, however, to keep his pistol-hand free and his pistol-pocket toward hi? entertainer, lie raised his glass, but he did not raise his eyes. It was a diversion With Sam Brown to take men off their guard, and the lifting of a friendly glass had been the signal for a shot. But Sain took no notice, apparently of the lawyer’s distrust. He drank off his glass and then shuttered it on the bur, with an admiring oath. “You are the stuff, Mr. Stewart,” he cried. “Will you shake hands?'’ The lawyer held out his hand and Sam squeezed it devoutly. From that day intil he died, shot like a wolf in the night, he was a trumpet for the “boss of the bar” iu the camp. The blood hound hal met his master and fawned at his feet.
