Wants to Go Back to Prison.

DETROIT, April 11.-Charles Temple
walked into the Woodbridge Street sta
ton and said: 81 want you to send me
to Jackson prison." He was born in De-
troit thirty-eight years ago and his life
has been one series of burglaries and as
saults. He has spent eighteen years in
prison, serving terms in Columbus, o.;
Jackson, Mich; Joliet, Ills, and Michi-
gan City, Ind. He now confesses to have
been engaged in a recent burglary in this

to prison life that he is actually homesick
while free. He was locked up.

DENVER, April ia special from Buff
falo, Wyo., contains meagre parti ulars of
a fight at the X. G. ranch between rustlers
and cattlemen. 1t avs: "The first in
formation in Buffalo of the trouble was a
letter received from Douglas to Sheriff
Angus, of Johnson county, saying that a
special ira n of armed and mounted men
had passed through Douglas, unloading
at Casper. They circuited the town and
started in this direction. Late in the
afternoon a ranchman named Smithy,
living on North Fork Powder river rode
to Crazy Woman with this information.
Early in the morning he heard shooting at
the X. G. ranch. He went there; saw that
the regulators had the house surrounded,
and that fight was going on between
them and the inmates. Immediately he
left for help; came to Crazy Woman,
started half dozen men to the rescue,
changed horses and came to Buffalo.
The Sheriff After the Stockmen.
Sheriff Angus was notified of the situa-
ton and appealed to for protection. With
in half an hour he was swearing in.deputies
and at p. m, posse left Buffalo for the
X. G. ranch battle ground, reaching there
before daylight, but not until after the
regulators had conquered and gone. Jack
F'lagg, who has been notorious with
others as a leader of the rustlers was few
days ago elected delegate to the Demo-
cratic state convention. He was on his
way there intending to stop that night at
the X. @. ranch, meeting Robert Foote,
Cole Brown and other delegates at Powder
River last night. Flagg and boy named
Taylor drove up to X. G. ranch just after
dark.
No Lack of Grit in Flagg.
Flagg started for the house, leaving
Taylor busy at the wagon. Nearing the
building he saw several mounted men.
He supposed they were a friendly COW
party and when they ordered him to throw
his hands up he replied jokingly; "Go to
hell" In reply rifle was levelled and
bullet sped past his head Flagg had a
a rifle and three shells at the wagon, but
no arms on his person. Running there he
grabbed the gun and held the attacking
party while the boy cut the traces. Then
the two leaped on their horses and fed
safely through the fusillade, being fol-
lowed a considerable way.
Two of the Rustlers Killed.
They reached Harris ranch on Crazy
Woman creek unhurt and started north,
joining the sheriff's posse from Buffalo.
When the resuing party reached the X. C.
ranch on their return they found the house
burned and the dead bodies of the inmates,
who were discovered to be Nate Champion
and Dick Ray, half burned in the ruins.
After Flagg got away the regulators fired
his wagon and run 1t against the house,
firing it, and then killing the two men
that had stood them off all day long.
