Al the first regular meeting OF the new

there was trouble right away. All the
men struck inside of a week, and the
manager fastened to ask IL they were
dissatisfied with their wages or their
hours. The answer was prompt and
explicit. The wages and hours were
satisfactory, and 80 was their general
treatment; their trouble was In the
clearinghouse, where they rot pie only
once day. They wanted mince pie
three times-at breakfast, dinner and
supper-and they proposed to have It.
The manager fastened to take counsel
with the clearinghouse man.

DEAD OR ALIVE"
UTAH BANDIT FOR WHOM %. 900
Is OFFERED.
Tom Mccarthy and HE Gang Of 200
cutthroats- Intrenched I'm
Rock bound Fortress In the Blue
Mountains Stealing Cattle Herds.

A bill passed the Utah Legislature
appropriating $1,000 of the States
money fer the capture Of Tom Nc
Carthy, dead or alive" Mccarthy Is
a bandit whose exploits far outshine
those of Jesse James or any OF the lead
ers of his gangs. He Is the uncrowned
king and general-in-chief OF band OF
200 cutthroats who for the past three or
four years have been terror to Color
ado, Utah and Wyoming. His company
Is made up of all classes of bad men,
and they must be distinguished crimi-
nails before they can gain admission
into this organization of murderers and
robbers. No ordinary man need think
Of fraternizing with the members Of
this circle Of wickedness. He must
have a record before he dare seek rec
ognition. The exploits Of this gang are
thrilling In the extreme, and their meth
DDS of keeping out of the clutches of the
law and Of getting out when OCCASION
ally one Of them gets caught are more
interesting than any fiction ever writ
ten.
Nobody knows who Tom McCarthy's
father was, where he was born or any
thing whatever of his antecedents or
early life. He went into the Blue Noun
tain district of Utah number Of years
ago, accompanied by few select scoun-
drels Of the six shooter type, and began
his career by robbing stage coaches and
wealthy citizens. His success attracted
attention, and he was soon an object Of
envy to the criminals of the Western
Territories. They focked to him and
were ready to make any sacrifices in
order to get into his gang. He took
what he considered the choicest and
most expert of them and sent the rest
away with warning that 1t would be
safest to keep quiet. Sheriffs and posses
Of deputy sheriffs were red-hot after
the gang and the new recruits were
given ample opportunity to prove their
fitness for membership in the organiza-
ton. The loss of some of his most dar-
ing comrades seemed to give Mccarthy
the idea Of establishing a safe retreat,
where he might take cover with his
men when sore pressed.
The result of this idea is q rock
bound fortress as immovable as the
mountains themselves and as impreg-
nable as Gibraltar. Miners and mechan-
les were picked UP here and there over
the country, blindfolded and taken to
the place in the mountains where the
cave was to be made. They blasted out
passages and secret passages to no end
and fitted up central chamber in the
heart of mighty rock in style 1t is
said that would win the admiration Of
king. An electric dynamo was
brought in on horseback and the parts
assembled and the machine installed,
with the result that this rock fortress
Is lighted as brilliantly as metropoli-
tan ballroom. But this is not the prin-
cipal use of the electric plant. AS ma
tons mine their harbors, so these MUIR
derers have protected the approaches
to their retreat by large quantities Of
dynamite-enough, 1t is said, to blow

up a whole regiment Of soldiers with
out the loss Of single border ruffian.
OF course, It takes money to run such
an establishment as this, but they have
no difficulty In obtaining 1t. The men
are cattle herders and are experts In
rebranding. A gang Of them will come
M with an honest ranchman's herd and
take possession of 1t, and the ranchman
that dares to follow it up gets death in
sure and speedy form.
If he has lost his herd he Is generally
not SO foolish as to sacrifice his life
also. These cattle are rebranded, ship
ped East, and the checks sent West to
Tom Mccarthy, but always cashed by
third party.
No one knows just where the cave Is,
but there are deputy sherIffs and Uni
ted States marshals who could go with
in four miles Of 1t. Members of the
Mccarthy gang have been arrested at
different times and placed on trial for
murder, but are always acquitted part
ly for want Of evidence, but chiefly be-
cause the jury that would find one of
them guilty would never sit on another
murder trial. Some go so far as to say
that member Of the gang Is on every
jury that tries one of them.
This gang can never be broken up by
a military force, and that Is not the in
tention Of the bill. The purpose Of the
Legislature Is that this $1,000 shall be
spent in hiring men who are just as
wary as the McCarthyites to work
their way into the organization for the
purpose Of betraying It. When this
attempt Is made there will be no end
of exciting experiences, for the band is
kept fully posted on every move that
IL made against them.

ries with II a weight Of power, which
may be used for good or for evil, not
only to the possessor Of the money, but
also to the community at large. The
indications are that Frank Gould, to
whom attainment of majority has just
brought fortune of ten millions, will
put his money to good use. There is no
probability that any Of 1t will be squan-
dered, for Frank Gould inherits his
fathers strong common sense and quiet
tastes. He has no bad habits, nor even
expensive ones. He Is much more in
terested in the great activities in which
his money Is invested than in any Of the
time-killing frivolities Of the -Four
Hundred" and the average New York
City young man who is rich enough to
be Independent of work. Frank Gould
is not Independent of work. He Is am
bilious to follow in the footsteps of his
father, the late Jay Gould, and become
power In the world of finance. He
has been an employee of the Missouri
Pacific Railway, and by close study has
mastered all of the details In the opera
ton Of this great railroad system. 1t
is his intention to apply himself to the
practical workings of the other great
properties controlled by Gould millions,
and thus be complete master of the
position which his money and interests
will give him. Frank Gould resembles
his sister Helen In his fine character
and gentle disposition. They both re-
side in the sisters mansion in Irving
ton, and there is deep sympathy and
affection between them. Miss Helen

one of the chief instruments in making
