Dynamiting Train Their Climax.
IL was only when the leaders of the
band put climax on their feats by
attacking the fast mail on the Union
Pacific railroad that they found enc
mics determined to follow them
through their retreat and drive them
out. Less desperate men would have
hesitated long to undertake this task,
for all frontier bandits know the gov
eminent never forgives one who tam
pers with it's mails and railways, and
express companies will hunt to the
death those who interfere with the
safety of their business.
The bandits deed will live long in
the memories of western railroad men.
1t was early on the morning of June
2 that they stopped the first section
of the west-bound fast mail half a

the mail and express cars across the
bridge, blew up the structure with dy-
Mantle, and then shattered the express
car and safe with charge of that eX-
plosive, only to find less than $4,000 20
reward them.
There were six men in the daring
band. They stopped the train with
red and white emergency signals, and
cowed the conductor and train hands
with pistols. After taking the money
from the express company's safe they
separated, three leaving no trace Of
their movements, the other three strik-

their salvation more than once.

With bloodhounds and Indian trailers
about them and keen eyes watching
for any movement, they could do little
else than try to sell life dearly, ac-
cording to the laws Of men of their
stripe.
The three men are worthy of their
calling. Cherokee blood runs in the
veins Of the Roberts brothers, and the
mixture has made them hate white
men. Currie was formerly cowboy,
but turned cattle thief four years ago.
and he and the Roberts brothers by
their fierceness and daring became

"HOLE-N- THE-NALL" BANDITS,

over the tracks of their horses, the
others spread out to prevent surprise.
Thus they led away for sixty miles,
until in the heart of the mountains,
near the head of Teapot creek, they
stopped for rest for themselves and
horses. They had little time to sleep,
however, for soon the trailing posse
entered the narrow canyon. The
leader was stopped with a shot that
pierced the heart OF his horse. An
other horse was killed as second pur-
suer rode up. Though half mile
away, the robbers aim was deadly.
The posse fought the robbers Indian
fashion for hours, driving them away
from their horses and forcing them to
take to the rocks. The task was cost
ly, however. for while closing in on
them the head of the posse, Sheriff
Joseph Hazen, of Converse county,was
killed by a bullet.
Dared Not Enter the "HoIe."
Crippled by their losses, the posse
could not guard the outlaws, and that
night they crept away, stole horses
from a ranch near by and rode off
northeast across the hills, towards the
-in-the- Wall. A herder at the
K. T. ranch, near the entrance, was
met by them two days later, and he
told them the posse had cut in ahead
of them, and that the ranch and the
Hole" was guarded.
They dared not enter their old re-
treat, but friends gave them horses and
food Then, making wide detour,
they went down the Powder river, and
struck off across trail that led
around the great cliff wall.
They found time for rest and recu-
peration on the solitary E. X. noun
tain, which raises its ragged sides
above the "Hole-in-the-W Wall valley.
Bloodhounds trailed them there, and
scores of men surrounded them, PEN
ming them in canyons time after time.
The news of the killing of Sheriff
Hazen had spread throughout the state.
The governor had offered $4,000 re-
ward for each Of them, and the rail-
way and express companies had prof.
fered an equal amount.
Troopers had been sent from Fort

Mckinney to the north; picked mill
tiamen had been equipped as cowboys,
and the United States marshal and the
sheriffs had gathered the crack shots
and fearless characters of the whole
region to aid in the chase.
Escape Again from Posse.
From rock to rock and gully to gully
they fought against great odds for a
week, the pursuers constantly clos
ing in, avoiding a charge in their de-
sire to take the men alive. Then one
morning the posse closed in on the
retreat from which they had fought
desperate little band had escaped
again.
Bloodhounds TOOK up the trail again,
crossing west through the "Hole-in-
the-Wall" valley and the Big Horn
mountains, then southwest toward the
Shoshone Indian reservation, and final
ly into the heart of the Owl Creek
mountains, where they again took a
stand. Persons who had met them in
their fight said they had five fine
horses, two carrying supplies and am
munition. They stole fresh animals
from the Indian reservation in their
flight, but no animal could stand such
a chase against the fresh relays of the
determined men behind.
In the Owl Creek mountains 1t was

ton matched against skill and a for

ready for them when they had obtain
ed their booty. Straight across the
plain they rode, heading for the blufs
Of the Platte river, east OF Casper. A
posse taking the trail next morning
felt that capture would be easy, for
they knew the men could cross the
swollen Platte river and reach the rug
ged mountains only over the bridge at
Casper, seventy miles from the scene
of the robbery, where railway men,
United States marshals and deputy
sheriffs were preparing for the hunt.
None of those who were in the chase
could believe the bandits would dare
enter this city, and the bridge was lef;
unguarded. On the second day, how
ever, the men, after stealing fresh
horses at a ranch, turned abruptly to
the west, and in the middle OF the
night rode through the city, crossed
the bridge over the swollen river, OBJ
tanned supplies from friends and were
well on their way to the Big Horn
mountains when their pursuers follow
ed their trail across the bridge.
Sheriff Killed by Fugitives.

tresses" appeared for the first time in,
America, in no less than four different
pieces. At first sight and sound the
native japanese drama is rather diff
ficu.t problem. Its tragedy does not
make serious dent in the American
auditor, and its comedy does not strike
him as the most joyous thing in the
world. The japanese actor, one finds,
expresses pathos though his nose; he
roles, in blind staggers, and humor in
acrobatic fiip-faps. He snuffles when
he is saddest. And as there was a
great deal of sadness in the first two
pieces presented last night, there was
a deal of snuffling. Our Japanese
townfolk filled the gallery and seemed
to find delight in these nasal special
ties, but the people downstairs didn't
appear to know just how to take them.
The plays are childishly primitive, and

CASTELAR'S HOME LIFE.

One cause of the respect that was
felt for him by all parties was that he
had left power as poor as when he en-

went back from the palace to the mod

other writer, Don Emilio Castelar, has

sort, of the federal republic in 1873.
He occupied the whole Of the second

quarters are on the third floor, where
he has his bedroom, toilet room, his
secretarys Office and his own study,

SPANISH BLOOD IN IRELAND.
The Combination Makes Women OF Great
Beauty and Perfect Form.


Beauty and Perfect Form.
When the Spanish armada was
wrecked off the coasts OF Clare and
Galway counties many survivors Of The
disaster who reached the shores were
kindly cared for by the Irish people,
and considerable numbers of these un-
fortunates remained in the families OF
their generous hearted rescuers, says
the American Quarterly Review. Span
ish Point on the coast Of Glare reminds
of the disaster to the great Spanish
fleet. In the counties OF Clare and
Galway there is to be found at the
present day a people differing essen
TALLY from any of the distinctive races
existing on Irish soil. This people are
the descendants Of the Spanish officers,
sailors and soldiers who had been cast
ashore during the fearful storm which
destroyed the Spanish feet.
The race marks Of this people are
well defined. Crossed as 1t has been
with the Milesian stock, its Spanish
features offer a most interesting study,
for they remain prominent. The men
are tall, muscular, dark-featured, with
black eyes and black hair. The wom-
en- have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are usually tall; bru-
nettes in some cases and fair In 9TH
ers; with large, expressive black eyes
and an abundance Of black hair. Their
beauty reminds of the women OF the
Basque provinces. while among them
are to be found the perfection Of the
female form in all Ireland.
