Mexico. He was getting away from
troops at the time. Dean Duke, Super
intendennt of the Diamond A outfit
drove fine team right past Kids am
bush, but was not molested. An hour
later one of Duke'e cowboys, who was
hunting deer, had the bad luck to get
into Kids way in such a manner that
KID could not avoid meeting him and
shot the cowboy.
Kid steals Diamond A horses when he
wants mount, but'the horses generally
come home again after a while, and
usually pretty we'll worn out. Halt
the saddle horses on this ranch have
been straddled by Kid at one time or
another. One horse, famous now on
the ranch, Old George, lame and sore
backed, trudged $50 miles homeward,
and neighed one night at the corral
gate for admission. Kid stole lot of
horses from the lower ranch a few
weeks ago, and troops of cavalry from
Fort Bayard has gone down that way
to look for him. The last time the
troopers saw Kid down on the Animas
he was up among some rocks where
they could not get at him, and he put his
thumb up to his nose and wiggled his
fingers. The language with which he
accompanied this gesture was more
forcible than polite.

ton two or three times. Tho report of
pistol followed almost instantly, and
Pym took two or three steps into the
next room, where he fell and died In Z
few seconds, while his slayer ran out Of
the back door. Tllton went at once to
Astle's barn, put on his hat, overcost
and spurs and, mounting his horse, took
