A VARIED CAREER.
Allison was, several years ago, waiter
in arestaurant in Eureka Nevada. In that
place he acquired some notoriety for being a
quick and good pistol shot. Later he came to
Colorado, and locating in the southern part
of the then territory, in time became a Dep
uty Sheriff Of Conejos county. His career
of crime commenced with the shooting Of
Pat McCaffrey in December, 1880, at which
time he was Marshal of San Antonio, not
Antonita, For that murderous in
tent--M Cafrey having survived-Allison
was driven froM the town bv the
citizens. After this he migrated to Coneios
and became associated with the Stockton
Eskridge gang. The desperate stated that
if ne could not live in town he would live
on the road. He organized 3 gang and
commenced a series of stage robberies that,
for daring and success, were unequaled in
the history OF the West. The depredations
of his daring gang were committed all
through the territories of the Southwest.
On Saturday night, June %, Allison, Per-
kins and Watts of the gang were brought to
Denver and lodged in the county jail They
arrived on a Rio Grande train. and were
met at the depot by a sherif's posse and
about 300 people. They had been given a
preliminary hearing at Alamosa. and the
three stage robbers were held to the District
Court of Conejos county. Some preparations
had been made at Alamosa to take the
prisoners from the authorities and lynch
them. This was prevented only by
some of Allison's friends congregat-
ing at Alamosa and openly avowing that
any such attempt to harm the men would be
opposed by them. At all events the desper-
ADDE'S were not lynched.
The trio remained in the county Jail here
until Sunday morning. August IA, 1881,
when they were ironed and secretly driven
to Burnham station, where they were trans
ferred to Rio Grande passenger train for
Alamosa. The secrecy exercised in taking
the prisoners away was used because of the
many rumors prevalent at the time to the
effect that body of lynchers had been or
ganized in Conejos county which would be
sufficiently strong in numbers to overpower
the officials and secure the desperadoes, who
wouh then be hanged. They were conveyed

DENVER, Col, December A.-Charles
Allison, one of the most notorious des-
peradoes and stage robbers who ever terror
iEed the West, and who, eight years ago, was
sentenced to 81 years in the penitentisry for
his outlawry in Colorado and New Mexico,
will be compelled to serve out his life behind
prison bars. The desperate was the leader
of gang Of outlaws known throughout the
West as the Allison gang of stage robbers.
He was said to have been bold robber in
the early days of Colorado and New Mexico.
and to have shown it frequently.
Allison, together with two other men of
his gang, named Lewis Perkins and Henry
Watts, were captured Tuesday, June 16, at
Albuquerque, New Mexico, by Frank
HYATT, then a deputy sheriff of Coneios
county, and posse of officials of Colorado.
They followed a party of men from Ala
mosa to Albuquerque. The men who
effected the capture had many difficulties to
encounter, but BY shrewd scheming. got the
fugitive into a barn and covered the gang
with rifles.
A CONFESSION DID IT.
Deputy Sheriff Hyatt located Allison's
gang bv the confession of Thomas Seeley,
desperate, who was known in Santa Fe as
Little Tommy" At one time he was
member of Allison's gang, and after his
capture was thrown into prison at Alamosa'

One of the most touching instanc

desire to relieve the sufferers at
Johnstown is expressed in these
words and figures " From Eastern
Penitentiary prisoners, s522,96,"
towards the Johnstown Relief Fund.
The items of which that large sum
is made mp are, of course, very small,
but the contributions were voluntary
and most cheerfully given-the only
pressure used being to keep the zeal
and desire to help the suffering
within proper bounds. Encouraging
words by the prison officials would
have considerably increased the
contributions from the little savings
set aside by the prisoners from their
