supposing them to be train men, L

all they could they disappeared and
allowed the train to go on without

Alvord then related the subse-
quent capture and conviction of two
of the robbers, and afterward the
capture and death of Sam Bass and
another of his gang. In the follow
ing fall, with party of fifteen men,
he planned the robbery of the bank
at Round Rock, which was to have
taken place on a certain night. The
authorities heard of the movement
and sent company OF Texas Ran
gers to the place. Bass, not know
ing of their presence, took two of
his men and went into town in day
light to reconnoitre the place.
While in town one of the men in
some manner displayed pistol.
1t being against the law for private
citizens to carry weapons, an officer
attempted to arrest the fellow, when
he turned instantly and shot him
through the heart. Bass and his
companions then ran to their horses
and went flying out of town. The
Rangers followed, and the two par
ties kept up a running fire. One OF
the robbers was killed, Bass was
mortality wounded, but for the time
escaped, while the other was pur-
sued till lost in the darkness of the
night. The following day Bass was
found in the woods almost in dy-
ing condition. He was taken to town,
where he died two days afterward,
but refused to the last to tell any
thing about his confederates. This
occurrence had the effect of break
ing up the band. and its mem hers.
it is supposed, scattered and went to
different points of the country, be-
yond the borders of Texas.

they called him. After they had
looked him over to their hearts

Sherman glanced at the brave and
