gentlemen, all right and come in. "
This exhibition of hospitality was
instantly answered by volley of
rifle shots. A number of the balls
took effect squarely in the breast.
"Shoot again, you towards ]" he
exclaimed. These were his last
words. The great body, Che was

The assassination of his father
inspired Tom with the demon ofre
venge. He and his brothers (there
was a host of them) took coun-
sci together in reference 10 meas
ures of retaliation, and thus sprang
into existence that formidable band
of desperate men long and widely
known in the annals of this coun-
try as the "Starr boys"
From this time, the struggle
which had grown out of the max
ing of the treaty of 1885, and had
divided the nation into two hostile
factions, began to rapidly wane in
point of interest and was finally
well-nigh forgotten in the stirring
fight that was carried on for the
next two years between the nation
al police and the Starr boys un-
der the leadership of the redoubt-
able Tom.
1t was not long until an oppor-
tunity was offered which enabled
Tom to sip his first sweet drafts OF
revenge. There was a certain
member of the police force who
was specially enthusiastic in the
pursuit of criminals (Greaty mem

aged to behave on that occasion in
such a way as to make himself an
object of the avengers special
malice.
There was a rural campmeeting
in progress not far away. The
police generally attended upon
such occasions, ostensibly to pro-
tect the public peace, but mainly
to entrap such "scouters" as might
be drawn thither by the force of
social attractions. Tom also at
tended the meeting. However, it
was only when the night had rem
dered the bushes that environed
the encam pment covert of solid
darkness that he ventured within
the sound of the gospel. At such
hours he would walk in among the
crowd of worshipers, and under
the screen of some flimsy disguise,
hear and make note of all that was
going on.

! man. A single ball struck the
latter in the right leg just above
the ankle, causing only the incon-
venience of little pain and pro-
fusion of blood. At the crack OF
the guns Toms horse sprang for
ward and was off at a rate OF
velocity which no kind of pursuit
might hope to equal; Tom always
rode a good horse. The assassins
rose from their ambush, mounted
their horses and started in gallop
ter the fugitive feeling sure that
he was fatally wounded and that
they would soon come upon his
dead body thrown on the ground.
Tom had not gone far when be
met a young white man riding a
good horse; with the ingenuity of
real genius he instantly bethought
himself of plan for eluding his
pursuers. The moment his eye
fell upon the young man he ex-
claimed, police! Policel Kill
ing and scalping the people! Run
for your iifei'' The stranger
wheeled his horse and started on
the back track under whip and
spur leading the race by good
number of rods. This state of
things being fully established Tom
wheeled his horse out of the road
and dashing il to a thicket became
deathly quiet. Pretty soon his
pursuers pasted him, and on they
went allured by the clatter of
horses feet which they took to be
Toms. Tom then hastened away
to place of safety in the woods,
kindled a little fire and heating
the blade of ais big knife cauter-
lied the wound and staunched the
flow Sf blood.
Years afterward, in telling this
anecdote, Tom would laugh 6ryly
and say, 81 never heard what be-
came of that young man; whether
the police caught him or not"
For more than two years, this
war between the national police
and the Starr boys went on; it
was a ceaseless running fight it,
being much of the time impossible
to tell which was the pursuer and
which the pursued, far Tom, imi-
tating the practice of a wildcat,
when chased by the hounds,
often doubled on his trail and fall
ing in behind the police, hung for
days upon their heels without
their having any definite idea as
to his whereabouts-until, at the
invitation of favorable opportu-
nifty the crack of his rifle disclos-
ed his position and corrected their
reckoning.
At length, in 1916, the govern
ment of the United States inter-
fered, and the several parties OF
the nation were constrained to lay
down their arms and subscribe to
an agreement of peace.
After that, Tom old better ma

WELCOMED BACK TO DUTY BY
THE VETERANS
Talks to the Old Boys Of Their Duty to
Themselves and the Home-Brad-
ley Dishonorably Discharged

SOLDIERS HOME, Oct. 26.-The gov
ernor took formal charge this morning, as
suming the duties of his office. He was met
at headquarters by the home band and an
informal spontaneous and immense gather
ing OF the members of the home. He was
received with the greatest enthusiasm, the
boys giving cheer after cheer tor his happy
recovery and resumption OF his charge. AFTER
the cheering had subsidized the governor
thanked those present for their voluntary
attendance and spoke Of the blot on the
escutcheon of those who SO worthily wore
the blue by the act of one who had been so
lost to all sense of manhood as to come be-
hind and shoot his commander in the back.
He declared that the man had no personal
grievance. He did not even know him and
did not even know that he had ever seen
him. The governor spoke of the ties of com
radeship, which he stated were and should
be as tender as those of wife, and also from
the bottom of his heart thanked the skill
full surgical assistance that enabled him to
stand as he did today. 1t had been triumph
Of modern surgery He called upon all good
members to assist in making this a model
home, and stated that if any one had or
thought he had grievance to lay it before
him and it would be remedied. II the com
plainants were not satisfied with his adJudi-
cation, he would appoint committee to in
themselves that dscord from this time forth
should cease from the home. After the gov
ernor had again thanked those present, the
gathering broke up with renewed cheers for
the governor.
1t is announced by order of Major Up
ham, temporary governor, with the approval
of General Franklin, chairman of the board
of managers, that Albert G. Bradley ceases
to be member of the home, being dis
honorably discharged for a murderous as
sault upon and the wounding of Governor
Andrew J. Smith.
The members of the home have not as yet
had the benefit of publicly hearing any of
the candidates at the ensuing election, with
the exception of an impromptu address from
Mr.. Barlow, who at that time announced his
intention of addressing us later on the issues
of the campaign. However, it is the inten-
tion of the union party to hold meeting at
the home on Monday, Nov. lst, and the Re-
pupblicans will close the campaign, as far as
the home is concerned, on the following
Monday, the day before election.

Australian Trade Outlook

The relatively satisfactory revenue state
ments OF the Australian colonies, as a whole,
have given rather better tone to trade, al
though the actual volume of business has
not increased to any extent, according to
recently received Australian Trade Re-
view. Some lines, however, which have for
some months been neglected have come into
notice, probably owing to the extension of
public works and the improvement in the
outlook for producing industries. While,
perhaps, the weather has not been all that
could be desired, cold north and northeast
winds drying up the surface, there have
been intermittent, good rains, and both sur
face and subsoil must have received plenty
Of moisture for the time being. The rain.
fall, as whole, up to date, is certainly be.
low the average Of last years, but it seems
to be forgotten that the shrinkage occurred
earlier in the season, and therefore any loss
thereby is past. There has been enough for
the growing crops which, a. whole, are

The better tone and higher prices at the re-

the knowledge that the shrinkage in last

about a return of confidence.
