Lost Leaves From History Herewith are tales of bandit raids ln days when gold held swayg Prospector Jim has yarns to spin And necktie parties are no sin Though Joaquin gets away. An llncident in the Life of a Famous Bandit q young, blackfeyed, blackfhaired boy of nineteen came to stay with his sisters who ran a hotel in Mokelumne Hill. At first the sisters were de- lighted to have him with them for he was so jolly and good natured. But their joy was shortflived for they soon found that he was also wild and reckless and it was impossible to control him. Instead of being a help to them he was a constant source of worry for he was always in the neighboring towns drinking and gambling and sometimes quarreling over the card games. To all their entreaties urging him to give up the wild life he lead he turned a deaf ear, for was he not Joaquin Marietta? No harm could come to him. Had he not been told so by a very wise old woman in that beautiful town in Mexico from which he had come? So he continued his reckless life. One night, at a saloon in Sutter Creek, Joaquin accused a man of cheating in a game of cards. A fight ensued and Joaquin killed the man. He escaped on his horse, which was easily recognizable because of its peculiar markings. This was the first crime committed by Joaquin Marietta. A party was organized immediately and a reward was offered for his cap' ture. One evening, the sheriff, with a party of men, came into a saloon. They were feeling quite happy because they were on Joaquin's trail. A crowd of men were gathered around a table, at which a game was going on. Also, at the bar, men were gathered. By the stove another man was sitting with his feet propped against it. Apparently, he was asleep. His head was dropped forward on his chest and his hat was drawn down over his eyes. A cloak was wrapped around him and the collar was turned up around his face. Come on, boys, the sheriff called. 'Tm treating tonight. All the men came up to the bar, except the man by the stove. The sheriff went over and gave him a slap on the back. Wake up, man, 'and drink to the capture of Joaquin Marietta. The man started up and asked, Has he been caught? cub'
