AVENGING ANGELS
GOT IN THEIR WORK ON THE.
 "BLAcK JACK, GANG.
A CowardIy Band of Outlaws Long Sought by United States Troops is Wiped Out by Mormons- Nine Stiffs.

FL PAso (Tex.,) March z0.-Thes notorious tBlack Jack" gang of out laws, which, for years, has defied the United States and local authorities of the Southwest, has at last been wiped out, and its career of crime, brought to close. It remained for the aveng- ing angels of the Mormon Colony near Casas Grandes, Mex, te seek out the rendezvous of the band in the almost inaccessible Sierra Madre Mountains, and to carry death to its members. The news was brought from Cases- Grandes to-day.
 February g, Mrs. A. F. Mcdonald, a members of the Mormon community at Round Valley, forty miles east of Casas Grandes, was murdered by two mem bers of the.gang and her store looted.- The averaging angels of the Mormon Church were commissioned to hunt.
 down the murderers, and they did their, work well.
 Sunday, March 6, they discovered the
 retreat of the gang at a point in the
 mountains, fifty miles from Round Val Hey, and Ut daylight had the camp com-- pletely surrounded, As soon as the
 camp begin to stir the firing began,
 and in short time not one of the gang remained alive. A party of American
 prospectors came upon the camp next day, and found nine bodies stiff in
 death, and afterward learned from the
 Mormons the manner of their slaughter The Black Jack" gang of train-rob- bers was. the most desperate and suc- cessful that ever operated in the South-- west. Among their crimes are the footing of the town of Solomonvilles.
 Ariz., and the murder of the postmas-
 ter there; the holding up of trains on
 the Santa Fe Pacific at Rio Puerco,.
 N. M., and at Grants Station. At the.
 latter points trains were held up at two. different times, the most recent being, five months ago, when if was reported
 that the robbers secured $39, ,006 The.
 United States authorities have made
 two expeditions into Mexico in pursuit.
 of the band, but were never able tor
 locate their hiding place.

The Mormon Method of Dealing With
 Horsethieves.
tIordsburg Liberal.l


 About month ago Mrs. A. F. Me Donald, wife of Bishop Mcdonald of the Mormon church, while alone in her store at Round Valley, about fifty miles from Casas Grandes, was killed and the store robbed. The Mormons were aroused and 8 party took the trail. The El Paso Times reports that the Mormons found that the murder CTS were couple of men from the "Black Jack' gang and that last week the Mormons found the camp which the American officers and Mexican army had been hunting for so long. They made dash on the camp and when they captured it all of the gang, nine men were dead. This is the most plausible story of death to the "Black Jackn gang that has ever been told. The Mormons have way of going af- ter outlaws and getting them that is quite convincing. Nine years ago this spring some Mormons went after horse thieves in this county, and the story has never been printed. It is now given not as news but as history. Horse thieves had been bothering the Mormons in Northern Mexico, and B posse was sent after them. One after noon in May, 1889, Vim. Suggs and Fred Myers came to the Chase aud Me Cabe ranch in the Animas, watered and started north. About dark four Nor mons appeared at the ranch and in. quired for these men. They said they
 were horsetbieves and wanted to ar rest them. Mir. Chase said that in all probability the men were canped at a windmill 9 few miles north of the ranch. The Mormons asked Mir. Chase to go with them as a guide. They thought that if they could get to the men at daybreak they could arrest the men before they woke up, without any {, trouble. Mr. Chase, Bud Moore ant Wm. Stetson went with the Mormons They started in time to get to the wind mill before daybreak. The leader o the Mormons instructed his men jus how to jump on to the horsethieves y provided they found them asleep, ant arrest them before they could get thei ! weapons. As soon as it commenced t . grow light all were watching tn U plains for sight of the camp. It wa . discovered few hundred yards froI U where the watchers were waiting l. They walked quietly over to wher z the men were sleeping, covered wit e their blankets, the Mofmons in at
 vance. The leader went up on one sic Is of the sleeping men and one of his con e, panions on the other side, they carefu e. ly drew down the blankets to see i'd they were the right men, and as soon

 The future in view of the continued piling up of idle money in New York appears to fla v6r easier money.

THE DOGS BARK.

As to barking, there are great number of different sorts of barks, the meaning of each of which is well known.
 For example, there is the barking which at night is meant to call master s attention to the Iact that some burglar or other evil-doer is lowering around the premises. When I hear my Landseer Newfoundland or my splendid St. Bernard giving warning in this way 1 turn on my other side, and do but sleep the sounuer, well knowing that no evil-doer would dare to enter my premises or even my grounds. Some years ago every house in Twyford was entered by burglars except my own. With jimmies they had already opened lower window of my villa. when they had to fly. The bark of warning has doubtless descended through long genera ions from the days when wild dogs hunt ed in packs, and it was then as useful in recalling stragglers as the bugle of a regi- ment.
 Next, there is the bark of joy, when dog, for instance, meets again a kind ana loving master, who may have been absent for a few days. No mistaking this. It is the bark of pleasure and ex- cltement. Sometimes my beautiful St. Bernard, Fair Helen of Troy" mingles little friendly scoldng with this for after licking my cheeks and ears she backs astern, and with her head cooked funnily to one side, barks me a lecture
 Why didn't you take me with you?' she seems to say. Tt was cruel and I've been wretched all the time But I'm happy now. Don't ever, ever leave your Helen again. .'-Gordon Stables, in the January Our Animal Friends.
