According to the law of the west, Slade's duty was to kill Jules at the first opportunity away from business. Jules also knew that a meeting meant a duel, and the death of the delinquent. He ferried a peculiar pistol, especially lor Slade, he declared, Slade was not neglecting business to find Jules, but was delighted to Irifft from the excited station keep, ers along the line In Wyoming, while returning from the west end of the division. that Julee was a days journey ahead, boiling with a desire to puncture Slade's skin again. At Fort Laramie Slade conferred with army, officers, who advised Slade to attend to the Frenchmans demise at the earliest opportunity. TEETH STOP BULLET. Sending riders ahead with orders to capture Jules, Slade followed in the stage, which be drove himself. Alighting from the box at Chausons station, twenty-fomiles east of Fort Laramie, Blade drew a pistol from the belt of an employee standing in the group of armed men, and. after a few words of conversation, strode to the corrals at the rear, where Jules was imprisoned. Slade fired at Jules's faoe at sight, the bullet glancing from the teeth with little barm, though Jules tried hard to die There are many stories of Slade's cruelty on this occasion, but Langford insists that Slade only waited long enough for a stage passenger to prepare Jules's will and road it to him. After a few minutes delay In getting pen and ink, Slade finished the job end went on about his business. Ths story ts persistent, however. In spite of Langford s deletion, that Slade cut off Jules's ears, nailing one to ths shed door and carrying the other about for some time in his vest pocket. Slade returned to Fort. Laramie, reported the affair, and was officially absolved. He also the matter Incidentally to rejmrted Ficklln, and was continued as superintendent. Blade gained a numerous following among the employees, yet nonerwas actually Intimate with him. Slade was a law unto himself, and he always retained the right to execute that law on anyone he saw fit. He was a bard and honest workman, and he exacted these qualifications of others. Removing later to Fort Laramie, in the midst of ha division, Slade ruled with an iron hand, for am iron band was necessary, No lees deteraanatioe or despotism could succeed. CREDITED WITH MANY CRIMES. Almost every crime that ever occurred on the plains was charged to Slade. Mark Twain, Henry Inman, Buffalo Bill, Captain Humfreyvtlle, Frank Root and others have picked up and perpetuated a large number of bloody stories in which Slade was the victor. While moat of these stories are not strictly true. It is nevertheless a fact, as Dims dale says: Slade was generally feared more than the Almighty. He is known to havs improved hta own personal advantage in a quarrel, and never te have given quartet when he was in the ascendancy. But he is also known to hare had but one aim, and that to keep the company's stage coaches and teams moving, and to keep its property within his general grasp. A ranchman who stacked brush with the hay sold to the stage company was tied to the haystack and ths hay set on fire by Slade. The haymaker was set free as ths flames began to scorch him, on a promise, which he promptly fulfilled, to leave the ooun- I7 WAS EXPERT EfJdt. Likewise other objectionable characters were driven from the country, and especially from the companys employ. Some of them, it Is not doubted (tradition says scores), departed permanently at the fatal command of Slade's guns, for he was an expert marksman. He announced to by- ur hand-to-ha- Mrs. V. S.

Coutaat say that Mrs. Slade was not a lovely character, though she was an apparently magnificent woman. Her influence was not ths best on Binds, though she was greatly devoted r nher, fighting asleep. Thus all authorities agree; that circumstances led Slade to ease the strain of his responsibility with liquor, sod, when drinking, he was vicious. - At such times he was not always fair to his victims, though be was naver at any time charged with being unfair to his employees' Interests, dijectly. TRICKED OPPONENT. Hers is about the worst story, printed fret by Mark Twain, about Slade's vickMianasa It happened while freighting, before entering the Overland employ. A fellow freighter got the drop on Blade, whereupon Slade cunningly suggested that such a matter should be settled without bloodshed, by fists, and that the runs be Whan the opponent's gun dropped. was thrown aside, Slade slew film laughingly.
