I'd States deputy marshal who had him
In custody escorted him down town
where he ARA igned them and his many
friends before the bars of ]. D. Jones
and Joe Allgyer's saloons, and enjoyed
The afternoon and evening with as great

and fearless desperadoes that ever in

the opinion is freely expressed that the
good trea tTnent he is receiving at the
hands of the United States marshals,
