Utah, and almost to the Arizona line. Marauding and murderous bands con- duct their raids without restraint. The thefts of livestock run into the mil lions. Ranchmen are murdered and driven out of business, and the officers of the law are powerless.
 There are five camps where the various bands make their headQuar- ters, each of which is well nigh inacces- sible except to the bandits themselves. Two of the most famous are Robbers Roost" and Hole n the Wall" The former is in South Central Utah on the San Rafaele River, a few miles west of the Green River. The latter is hidden away somewhere in that wild, noun tainous district to the northwest of Casper, Wyo.
 The other camps are located in Teton Basin, near the eastern border of Idaho and south of the Snake River; Powder Springs in Southwestern Wyo- ming, near Colorado, and about fifty miles east of the Utah line; and Browns Park, taking in the northwestern cor ner of Colorado and the northeastern portion of Utah. It is not definitely known in just which State the Browns Park camp lies, but it is thought to be across the line in Colorado.
 Never before in the record of border outlawry nave Western States been forced to form an offensive and defen- sive alliance against bandits such as was entered into last week at Salt Lake by the Governors of these four States. The situation had become desperate and a desperate remedy was required
 The five camps form chain extend ing for hundreds of miles. Between these posts communication is main tained by a regular system of courierS and cipher dispatches, facilitating the cooperation of two or more bands when an enterprise of more than usual magnitude is undertaken.
 These reckless bands are composed of men of the most reckless and desperate character, long accustomed to deeds of crime. Whenever a murder is com mitted in the mountain States or con- vict escapes from a penitentiary the criminal fees to the nearest of these retreats, where he is safe from pursuit In this manner the ranks of the ban dits have been recruited up to a strength conservatively estimated at five hundred. While each band has it's chosen leader, Butch" Cassidy exer- cises some sort of authority over the federation.
 Each of the strongholds is both a ren- dezvous and fortress absolutely im- pregnable. They can only be reached by traversing deep and narrow gorges, scaling lofty and rugged peaks and penetrating the widest recesses of the Rocky Mountains. In many places the only trail lies over a narrow shelf or a precipice. Holes have been drilled into which in case of close pursuit dy namite can be placed and the trail blown from the face of the cliff into the chasm below, thus baffiing all pur- SuerS.
 There are also many places where one robber can hold fifty officers at bay,

oming. and when the four Governors met in secret corclave on Monday 1t was far the purpose of deciding upon a plan of campaign against the most notorious outlaw the West has ever had to cope with. The achievements of Jesse James and his followers pale into tawdry insigpiC cance before those Of Butch" Cassidy and his five hundred.
 For several years-in fact, ever since the Live Stock Commission drove the Wyoming rustlers out of business in 1S92-"Butch" has proven thorn In the flesh of ne authorities of the four States in which he carries on his oper- ations. He has laughed the militia to scorn. Sheriffs and deputies he regards with pity ani contempt. He is pow CT unto himself.
 After the ordinary methods of hunt ing outlaws had been tried unsuccess- fully it was decided that drastic means must be employed. Rewards have been repeatedly offered for Butch" Cassidy, dead or live. and after each fresh out break these rewards have invariably been increased. If all the offers which have been made from time to time hold good, the slayer of Butch should he ever live to claim his reward. would be entitled to upward of s2O,0O0 in blood money.
 But the rewards have proven as fu- tile as have the efforts of the militia and the deputy sheriffs. And that is why Governor Wells of Utah, Governor Adams of Colorado, Governor Richards of Wyoming and Governor Steunen- berg of Idaho cot their heads together to see what could be done Just what the result of their conference was has not been divulged.
 The Governors believe in still hunt methods, and it is thought that large number of experienced mountaineers and bandit hunters will be placed in the field, each State to furnish it's quo- ta, and that the bandits will be round- ed up in much the same fashion that cattle are. Any attempt to exterminate this desperate band is certain to be at- tended by bloodshed.
 Butch" and his band are the out growth of the rustlers of six years ago. Since then they have broadened their field and increased their numbers. It is no idle boast to say that the leader of this notorious band has five hundred men at his beck and call.
 Their depredations are upon a scale never before reached in the history of frontier crime. All the conditions are favorable to them. They know every foot of the vast territory in which they operate, taking in, as it does, the wild est and most inaccessible portions of four States. Every man Of them is thoroughly familiar with frontier life In it's rougher phases.

The King takes precedence in matters mat rimonial and all good Koreans who abide by the letter of the law religious ly and periodically postpone their we'd ding days till the King officially greets his royal spouse.
 The strict letter of this law is not de- voutly observed throughout all classes of Korea. The common people do pretty much as they please in the matter, for the authorities realizing the antag- onism it would raise, do not prosecute them if they marry.
 Among the better classes and the mo- bility, though, no one thinks of marry ing. To do so means instant loss of caste. The Korean four hundred will never open it's doors to people who have married while the King was single.
 AS marriages in Korea are arrange ments in which personal inclinations never play any part, it is not SO diffi- cult to refrain from marrying. The Korean never falls in love- It is not considered the proper thing to do. All necessary arrangements are made by the two families who wish their chil- dren to intermarry. The two people most interested are never consulted at all.
 Since the murder of the Queen none or the members of good families have married. But the people have long been impatient for the King to marry. so that 1t might be permissible for them to follow his example.
