Aud then the old fellow told the
story, which can scarcely he as
graphic in print as in his terse
idiom:
Years ago Harrison county, Texas,
was the haunt of about as desperate
gang of rut1ians rs ever infested
any district west of the Mississippi.
Their number was so great and
their organization sn ""n,i''ore th~t
they set the but half administered
law at defiance, carrying on a career
of daring crime with impunity and
making the region an undesirable
place of abode for all honest citizens.
Ostensibly hunters or horse-traders,
the desperadoes made stock stealing
their Chief occupation, never hest.
tating to commit q murder when
necessary for their safety or for the
execution of any of their rascally
plans. The controlling spirit in this
desperate organization was a giant
named Dick Red,lett, who, from his
exceptional ferOcity and daring. ex-
ercised almost despotic control over
his followers. A special pride of
this man was in his extraordinary
skill in the use of the rifle, no one
of the band being able to compete
with him in what was at that time
considered the chiefaccomplishment
of a Western man,
1t was favorite practice with the
band to congrega te at some one OF
the few small stores scat cred
through the country and there
engaged in shooting matches. and
it was upon one of these. occasions
that Sam Long, tho hunter already
mentioned, CHANGED to I've present.
Long was quiet, modest fellow
who lived with his wife aud child in
IA small cabin in the neighbOrh0Od
aud who made hunting his constant
occupation. lie never appeared at
the store save to exchange skins
and furs for provisions or ammuni-
tiOn, and was widely and favOrably
known for his sobriety and honesty
Upon the occasion just referred to
when Sam Long Glanced to come
while the deSperadOes were engaged
in one of their shooting matches,
it was demanded that he should
take a part in the sport. The hun
ter hesitated at first but finally, not
wishing to incur the ill.wiil OF the
consented. His skill with
tire rifle was known to be something
remarkable, and tie des peradOes
were not greatly surprised when he
defeated them all save the captain
of the baud. This man had not
engaged in the sport, but when
Long had vanquisled all the others
he came forward with the assurance
of an easy victory. The shots were
made, and, to the surprise of all
Long gained the day. The rage Of
the leader of the rutians know NO

later he reached a small landing in
the woods OH the banks of the
river, where the steamer stopped for
passengers, when there were any to
take. He learned from the 0ccupant
: Of the only cabin in the neighbOr-
! hood that the boat could bs down
in the afternoon. and 30, having put
up the signal to secure landing Of
the boat, established himself on the
hank and waited. He deemed him
self safe enough from parsuit, and
took no precautions. Throwing
himself on the ground he elspt, un-
