Cooke City Letter.

MIR. EDITOR: Having spent some time
in this camp | take the liberty to write
you and tell you something of such
things as interest you as well all citi-
zens of Livingston and Park county.
The first and greatest item which
everyone in Cooke City is most inter-
ested in is when will we get the rail-
road?' II that question was settled in
positive terms in favor of an early
building the camp would at once take
on an active appearance and fill up rap
idly with people. The railroad COM
pany is expending large sums of money
in its surveys and we hope to see the
dirt flying in the early spring. My
private opinion is that they will test
the feeling in congress the coming win
ter, and IT they cannot get the boun-
diary OF the Park SO changed as to allow
the building OF the road by way of Gin
nabar they will build it by way of Still
water creek and enter the camp at Lake
Abundance, The latter route would be
much more expensive to grade and
somewhat longer, by is probably the
next cheapest route to the Cinnabar
route. 1t would be far the better thing
for Cooke if they can succeed in secur-
ing the Clnnabar route and so enable
the ores OF this camp to go to Living
ston, where coal and coke are so plenty
and water power easily secured.
There are probably more prospectors
in the camp this year than ever before.
There are some properties quite well
worked and Will command large prices
as soon as transportation is in sight,
Within the last two weeks we have
seen quite number of experienced ex-
perts in the camp and there have been
several sales made to eastern parties.
The miners of Cooke City who have
struggled here through thick and thin
for so many years feel that they deserve
a asttfE tEe3atMspt than thoffyye tghofyeha ehaX6 bad
little and not allow a little three-cor-
nered piece Of utterly worthless land to
keep them from securing their rights.
That part Of the Park north OF Yellow
stone Rim and Soda Butte creek is new
er visited by tourists and is only hill
OF expense to those who are placed to-
guard the Park grounds.
The extent OF the mineral lands in
this vicinity j. much greater than gen.
orally supposed. They extend 40 miles
from Coz 81 city southeasterlv to the
Stlnk'ngWater river in Wyoming. May
we not hope for and secure your con-
tlnHed efforts and earnest cooperation
in securing transportation to our caups

Drsperatlo Gives himself Up to Justice

Desperate Gives himself Up to Justice.
A Spokane Falls special to the hide
dependent says; A great sensation was
produced in Wateryllle and through the
Big Bend country a few days ago by the
surrender of Manfred Paine, alias Engel.
For three years he has been an outlaw
and the terror of the officers and citizens.
He made his home in the mountains and
coulees, only appearing at intervals to
procure provisions and ammunition.
When pursued by officers he fled into
the Businesses of an almost impenetrable
wilderness, frequently leaving notices
nailed to trees, warning his pursuers to
halt or suffer the consequences. He
came to Washington from Missouri with
his father, whose real name was Camp
he'll Engel A reward of $1,000 was Of
fered in Missouri for the apprehension
of the old man, who was charged with
murder. Constable Hubbard of Spokane
located him in the mountains, to the
west of the Grand coulee, 13O miles from
Spokane. and induced Frank Aiken to
assist in the capture. Armed with a
requisitlon they started for the residence
of Sheriff Robinson of Douglass county,
who joined them. Stealthily approaching
the Paine cabin by way of a canyon they
secured the old man without difficulty.
Sheriff Robinson returned home and the
others started for Spokane Falls with
the prisoner. When thirty-five miles
from the cabin and near the Grand
coulee they observed horseman follow
ing them at full gallop. Paine was ask
ed if he knew the man and replied that
L ~ r hat
tance. The team was stopped to allow
him to come nearer. The prisoner was
again asked if he knew him. "Yes," he
replied, 'that is my boy" At the dis
tance of 125 yards the pursuing horse
man dismounted and opened fire with a
Winchester rifle. The prisoner was the
one hit first and fell partly out OF the
wagon. Hubbard and Aiken turned the
team across the trail for barricade and
returned the fire. The battle grew des-
perate and fifteen or twenty shots were
fred on each side. One Of the horses
was hard hit and bullet struck Hub
bard in the leg. He said nothing but
kept on shooting until another bullet
struck him in the face and he fell. Pre-
suming him to be dead Aiken sprang
into the wagon, pushed the dead body
Of the prisoner out and dashed away.
In few minutes the wounded horse
fell dead. Aiken cut the harness from
the other and started on horseback. The
horse soon gave out and was abandoned.
Aiken proceeded on foot to ranch,
where he told his story, and posse was
made up to investigate. Paine's body
was found where Aiken had left it, but
u,,I1,orl.c ,,-,o coma 1ictnpcn ayvav and
riddled with bullets. The indications
we're that he had regained his feet and
tried to escape, but young Paine dashed
upon him and finished his bloody work.
Since his surrender it transpires that he
had previously taken legal advice and
will try to prove his innocence and that
another character figured in the tragedy.
Aiken, the only living witness, is still at
Spokane Falls and adheres to his origi-
nal statement.
