ing up trains and going through the
many lawless scenes of his life.
He seems to think himself in command
of train-robbers and gives orders 10 the

when he thought they did not obey or
ders. At one time he yelled out: That's
the way TO do it, boys; make every last
one of them cough up. We will make
more money out of this traiu-robbery
than we could make swiping horses all

worth speaking of. and it will not be long
until the noted bandit will be compelled
to succumb to the inevitable and go over
the range TO meet the boys of his gang
who have gone before.
