oven the hard country about No Mans
Land ever saw. Cherokee Bill was some
negro, seine Creek Indian and some mean
white man, ard If there was any evil quail
ity in the three races that didn't get into
his blood the fact was never discovered
down Texas way.
He was ID when he cut loose from Sun
day school and joined the Cook gang Hc
celebrated his entry into that society by
blowing the lights out of IA big Texan who
tried to give him the worst of it in the di-
vision of some plundcr This established
his character among the gang. and after it
Cherokee Bill was considered an eminent
member OF the party.
II wasn't long before Cherokee Eli be-
came jealous of the fame of ELL Cook, the
leader OF the crowd. lie didn't feel that he
was given proper credit for daretleSi!t.y,
so he shook the outfit and set up in bust
ness for himself He had charniii:l,ly
original way of waltzirg into u town alone
during the noon hour, when he YVES most
likely - find only one man in the bank,
and of holding up the bank single handed
On one occasion, when he found Iortly,
respectable old bank president in charge,
he amused himself by making this officer
carry the wealth OF the bank to the out
skirts of the town, where his horse was
waiting for him.
He also tried his hand at pOstofficc rob-
berry, aud many jaded postmaster had his
interest in life restored by the vision of
Cherokee Bill ut the delivery window be-
hind colts IS. When business was slack
in this line, he turned to train robbery,
and ly strict attention to this he made
| himself n great name in the business AL
ready the Katy had hoodoo name
among the hold ups, but Cherokee Bill
| was no more afraid of hoodoos than he
| was of anything else, so he tackled the NJ.
X: and T. train and got away with it.
| He didn't have much time to brag. how
ever, as very soon after. while he was rob-
bling the posto.licc at Lenapah, he killed
an innocent bystander named Ernest Mel
ton. and before he could get away the
sheriff got him and locked him up for
murder. Before the law could dcccntly
hang him he had murdered one Of his
guards, but his attempt 10 break Jail
failed In due tine he mounted scaffoli,
and as he stood on the trap. with his
hands strapped 20 his sides. the sheriff
politely asked him il he had anything tc
| say
| -, no." he answered II didn't
como here to talk I'm here to die, " said
Cherokee Bill. He died promptly accord
ingly.
Some of tie other eminent characters
who figure on the railroads photograph
are Bill Dalton, Bob Dalton, Bill Dooiin
and Bill Cook, Cherokee Bill s rival. With
them is Skeetcr Baldwin. as he was usually
with them In life. Most of these men were
wiped of the express agents slate during
tho discussion with winchcstcrs and shot
guns that took place at CoGeyvilie, Kan.

When the market goes their way, the
bucket shop men make money and keep
1t; when the market goes against them,
the usual plan is to make money by s,ls-

which their customers may have on dcpos-
