The Arkansas Coward.
The beautiful little town of Van Buren,
on the Arkansas river, near the Cherokee
during its early history, was famous for
the number and ferocity of its desperadoes.
being the principal meridian and focus of
rendezvous for gamblers. Indian traders
and all sorts of adventurers who had found
it necessary to change their domicle from
lands governed by the administration of a
rigid criminal code. The half bred "brave"
from the Cherokee nation also flocked to the
the site, to drink, carouse, take a hand at
cards, and exhibit their powers in sangui
nary "set to's" with pistols and long knives.
Such a state of society may he imagined—
it cannot be described. Not a sum perform-'
ed its circuit that did not witness same dread-'
ful single combat tvith or without murder
ous weapons, while now and then dozens at
a time and by mutual agreement, marched
from the ruin shop out in the public square,
and engaged-in mortal strife.
At this period-Thomas A. Myers emigra
ted to Arkansas, and opened a large grocery
store at Van Buren, acting himself as keep
er
and retailer. Such aivocettpation at that
time required a man of the Most determined
courage, as the store had always .a back
room or shed attached, specially appropria
ted to gambling both by day and by rt&g . ht,.
and where the players were supplied with '
the choicest liquors at the bar and would be -
sure to bully the grocer out of his reasona
ble charges, unless restrained by fear.
For a while however, Myers succeeded
admirably. The half-breeds, loafers 'and
"chartered fighters," as they called them
selves, held a caucus, and unanimously vo
ted that the new arrival was a dangerous
subject and had better be left alone. This
verdict was altogether owing to the strang
er's personal appearance as military as
might, well be conceived. Tall, manly and
symmetrical in shape, with great endow
ments both in strength and agility, he would
have had few equals in the arms of naked
nature. But by the cunning inventions of
art, iron, steel and lead, and the thunder
and lightening of gunpowder, are made to
fight for the feeblest bosom ; and thus dwarfs
and giants, provided both are alike the heirs
of true courage, now stand on, the same
dead level. It was believed also that My
ers possssed the resolute will to handle those
awful engines of destruction wore life and
death hung on the touch of a trtgger. His
countenance betokened the perfection of
bravery. His face wore generly a stern ex
pression and When'.that melted into a smile
the smiles seemed sterner still. His eyes
were exceedingly black, wild, penetrating
and restless, and had that cold gleaming
inetalic look, which may be regarded as the,
surest sign of desperation. Besides, he car
ried an appaling supply of pistols, and a
bowielcnife fourteen inches in the blade.---
Hence, everybody was respectful and oblig
ing to the ostensible hero for a period of sev
eral weeks, during - which an unusual calm
feigned in the village. -
At. length a terrible affray occurred at,
Myers grocery. Half-a-dozen fire-arms
exploded in quick succession, and the deaf
ening roar so frightened the keeper that he
took to his heels arid fled from his own estab
lishment. The fact settled public opinion
as to his character. .
"What a chicken-hearted coward to run •
from his own castle." exclaimed General
Cole, the Napoleon'of frontier duellists and
gamblers.
"Why, he hasn't the spunk of- a dead
possum I" lisped Bill Green, the dandy loaf.
er, combing Ma "soup locks" with his long
rosy nuils.
"Let's drink his liquor and smoke his ci
gars and not pay for them, - because as how
tie's a coward,' said Jack Warhawk, a huge
kalf.breed, and having enunciated this eny
themeite of genuine Cherokee' &sacs and
hand out cigars, crying —"Toast - to .
tna
.rave, my .oy . ell never want white—
the world has chickens of thewhite feather."
The firing in the grocery having ceased
for more than an hour, being replaced by a
din of the most boisterous mirth.. Myers, by
great effort, mustered the spirit to return,
He found the customers helping themselves
with a vengeance, and thought to overcome
them by the assumption of heroic airs. He
snatched his revolver from bis,...peckataa.
pointing it at Warhawk:Ortat,
dered him to 1 e house..
"If that%, ttiPifi're atter," sheuld Jack',
unshoming his big bowie, and spinging
..40i0tiVer the' counter, - "here's - what - will
'give you a ladle full,"
Myers still kept the revolver presented,
but his hand shook like a leaf in the tem
pest, and his very feet involuntarily retreat,
ed backwards by short, quivering steps.--1.
The two feelings. physical fear and moral
courage, were struggling for the mastery....
He was endeavoring to act bravely but his
nerves refused their concurrence, and he
remained, so to speak, in equipoise—totally
incapable of acting at all. He was impo
tent to fight, and as powerless to fly.
The - re was no such hesitation in the con.
duct of Jack Warhawk. - Brandishing his
big knife with his right hand, he seized the
flowing locks of Myers in his left, roared at
the top of his lungs—
" Down, coward; down on your narrow,.
bones, or by the blue blazes I'll cut your
throat I"
Incredibly as it may seem, Myers still
holding his deadly revolver, loaded with six
rounds, cowered to the floor like a beaten
bound, and begged most piteously for his
life—a prayer which the mocking half-breed
granted, on condition that he would treat
the crowd for a whole week.
From that time the unfortunate Myers
was subject to every species of insult and
outrage. The loafers would pull his face
to make him treat, and Gen. Cole, when in
toxicated, would strike him with his cane
to cure him of his cowardice as he said.—
The poor grocery keeper booked all these
gross idignities with the patience of a mar !
tyr ; and would sometimes meekly remon
s.rate.
Gentlemen, it is ungenerous to abuse me
thus, for I confess I have no courage—l
cannot fight."
This continued for a whole year, when a.
change occurred that caused the insulters to
rue their ignoble persecutions. He had a
beautiful wife, whom he loved with the ten
derest passion. One day when the husband
was absent, the hideous half-breed, Jaok
Warhawk instigated to the damming deed
by the persuasion of General Cole, went to
the grocery keeper's private residence and
maltreated his lady in the most shameful
11 - ter r t3 _returned Immo to find his beloved
one di4ven,ed,as it were in tears. He henrd
the harrotinng' tale without external mani•
festations of anger or. motions. His face, it
is true, became somewhat pale—his lip quiv-.
ered an instant, and'then 'settled to an ex
pression rigid as a moutli•of,iron, and his
wild black eye, it may be shot iillwtitore,
beams of penetrating fire; but he did not
mutter curses. Ile muttered not a whisper.
or menace ; he did'not condole or even sym
pathize with his afflicted wife. He :only
armed himself with a bowie knife fourteen
inches in the blade, from hilt to point, and
started for the village.
He came within sight of his enemy, them
promenading the public square and boasting.
of his villianous achievement. At this vis-,
ion Myers' lip curled into a horred Smile;
and his dark eye melted in a stream of tears:
He approach till he stood nearly touching
the half breed, and then , said in a • horrid
whisper—
retch, be quick, draw ! for by sf. Paul
one of us' must die !" •
And- he waited till the other should be
ready for the strife on equal terms. H 4
did not have to wait long, for Jack under-.
standing that cold glittering, snaky smite;
and those hot gushing tears, as the certain
tokens of murderous madness, immediately,
unsheathed at the same moment with his
adversary, and they began the dreadful cont
bat; which was soon decided. Myers par.'
tied three furious blows of the hateful halt
breed, and then grasping. his foe's clothini
with his left hand. with his Other plunged,
the knife up to the hilt in his heart: , The
