As far back in Cincinnati's history us 1842, flourished a then young scoundrel of sixteen years, koown ns iho Ktulo t0 those who him and of his habit of invaria bly drawing a knifo upon anybody that hap pened to in any way offend him. His nama was James Watson, but among tho com panions of his earlier days ho was scarcely known by it, "The Knilo" having takoa its place ever since. When ho was fourteen years of ago ho had badly cut a younger playmate upon whom ho had failed to force a ohenting bargniu, "The Kuifo" first be cauio known to the watch as professionally dishonest when, in 1845, he was c:uk!h with two othur burglars in the act oficl;-! biug a jewelry stoio on ths Landing-. He managed to wigglo out of thij case, dorily nl'ter which ho left the city and went to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, and even farther East, committing me.uy crimes, and' alraOBt invariably escaping de tection. In fact, It was not until ho becamo wo'.l known to tho authorities of Bofi'ilo, and was at length detected in a steamboat rob bery nt that point in 1S50, that ho was cou ;victed and forced to serve live years. Re turning to Buffilo in 1S50, aud thence ti Clevelaud and Chicago, Watson, in n drunk en broil in a drinking saloon in the last iiniued city, drew a knifo upon William Webb, tho captain of tho schooner North Star, and cut him in such a manner that ho died of his wounds. Watson escaped tho immodinte vengeance that even this crime should havo broncfet upon hits. Ia fact, his Identity was not fully established, and tho police had no clue, along w hich lo follow to his arrest. However, shortly al ter his father's death, the son, John Webb, a young man of twenty yours, learned from one of Yt'iitson's former associates of Chica go who it was that made him fatherless. Obtaining a minute description of his pri son, including a nr-t ol a sc.ir across his forehead that could r.ot easily be forgotten, be too'.; every step in his pow.er to hao him brought to justice. But ul! efforts to tbls end proved fruitless, us Watson had gone fur South to Texas it was supposed. LI tho years that followed John Webb went to the bad under tho influence ol Chi cago life, becoming almost as desperates Character as his father's murderer. When the war broke out ho enlisted in an Illinois regimeni, ana serveu several years, known always us a reckless, despe rate soldier, fhhtiug bravely, but always in trouble on account of .his iusubordination. When he was finally dischaizud ho went West, and for several years led a wander ing lifo, until at Fort Benton, a few wccks since, be met this Watson in a gambling sa loon, recognized him, threw a glass of whis kv into his face, nnd then very coolly thot him six times with a revolver, letting his life out through at least three mortal wounds. It appears that they wore silting side by side at a faro spread, both betting whito chips on tho eauio cards. Hearing WalBon's name called by tho dealer, Webb examined his face closely, ond finding in it every mark of tho old timo description, in troduced a conversation, and munaged to lenrri from Wutson that ho was iu Chicago In March of 1S55, tho timo of tho murder. This settled it with Webb." Ho did not wait for the evidence of w itnesses, or ap pealing to law a very ecaroa articlo in that part of the world. While taking a drink of whisky, ho carelessly took np some of Watson's chips, as if making a mistake in shifting a hot. Watson cursed tho mistako and its author, announcing that tliofo were his chips. Webb shifted the glass to his left baud and reckoned not, at iho same timo cocking a revolvor In his pocket with his right. Wuison jumped up and pulled his knife. Webb dashed tho whisky iulo his face, blinding him for an instant, and then, as tVutson ct.Uu at him, commenced shooting, and without going into the hero ics, or even exclaiming "My father's luur ueier," procet dedt lo set U old scares, lie then walked o.it of the saloon, and without much trouble tnmie his escape.
