CHAPTED VI.

Tuesday morning, Aug. 10, one week
after the murder, after all the officers
had followed to their conclusion false
reports of the location of the men, Dep
uty Sheriff Robinson at Logan got a
clew that was worth something.
Travelling out of Logan in company
with Demp Moore, who was driving
him, Robinson came face to face with
the outfit a mile west of Logan and
heading that way. There were three
men in the old wagon instead of two.
1t We're foolish to attempt to make an
arrest here, so Robinson passed on.
Once out of sight he left the wagon,
doubled back to Logan on foot, making
a detour to get there; his driver going
straight into Logan with instructions
to say he had left Robinson at farm.
Dotson and Benson, with their COM
panion, passed on unsuspicious. Rob
inson wired to Anaconda, where Under
Sheriff Morgan received the message
and wired to Sheriff Fransham of Gal
latin county, at Bozeman, to send as
sistance to Robinson.
Meantime Robinson at Logan had
heard from Joe Daily at Chestnut, had
told DAILY of the find and Daily was COM
ing to join him. So Robinson struck
out with Moore once more on the
trail of the men who were going toward
Bozeman.
On receiving Morgans message, Sher-
iff Fransham started in a rig toward
Logan, taking Deputy Jack Chapman
with him. Telephone stations are fire.
quent along the line. As Robinson and
Fransham, from opposite directions,
closed in on the, fugitives, they COM
municate their progress TO each other.
A mile east of Central park Robinson

ried 1T with him In belt about his
waist and had more wealth hidden in
his cabin. s--s- .s.
With Cullinane in the cabin lived
John Mulholand. Early in August
Mulhoiland went away and did not re-
turn until Thursday, Aug. 10.
As he approached the cabin he heard
from the stable. He opened the stable
door. The poor brute staggered out
and found its way to the water, where
it drank as if athirst for days
About the cabin and stable We're no
signs of Cullinane,

CHAPTER II.

1t was late in the afternoon of Tues
day, Aug. 8.
Eugene Cullinane was returning to
his lonely cabin from one of the pros
pecting trips he was in the habit If
taking-trips lasting only a day at ii
time. over his shoulder he carried his
pick. His mind was probably upon the
geological problems of the region he
had studied so long and patiently.
Half a mile from his cabin he entered
a little glade, bushes and trees spread
ing their walls of foliage close TO the
narrow trail. He never reached the
end of the lane.
No one save the murderers know ex-
actly what took place. Perhaps there
was a command to Throw up your
hands" but it is more probable shat
the bullet that brought him down " As
the first intimation he received.
From the thicket at the side of the
trail the bullet came. 1t entered the
left side of his face. midway between
rose and ear, ranged through the head,
emerging at the base of the skull to
the right CT the spine.

had proposed, as part of the conspiracy,
going to Helena, establishing their pres
ence there, returning secretly, killing
and robbing the old man and then de-
parting for the Black Hills
Benson and Dotson had been in Amer
lean gulch only a few days before and
had departed ostentatiously for Helena
From Helena had come postal cards
from Dotson to his father, evidently
sent to aid in establishing an alibi.
Fresh tracks made by a wagon, one
of the hind wheels Of which wobbled,
We're found in the vicinity of the muir
der. Shoe tracks, one Of pointed shoes
and the other Of broad soled ones, We're
found. Dotson and Benson wore shoes
answering this description.
The wagon in which the two travelled
had a hind wheel that wobbled. It was
an old spring Wagon, drawn by two
bay geldings. There was no dashboard
on the Vehicles its tongue had been
splced with a warped cottonwood pole;
a worn canvas cover, fitted to round
hoops. covered the wagon and in the
top of the, cover MAS patch of black

Here they were kept in Jail under the
names of John Oleson, John O'Brien,
Dan Dee and William Jones, Sheriff
Conley desiring to prevent the fleeing
Dotson and Benson getting wind of the
fact that these men were arrested. He
believed them to be implicated in the
conspiracy with Dotson and Benson.
Valuable information was secured from
Hilderbrand. Later all four men We're
released on bail.
Sunday night the search for the old
wagon and Dotson and Benson was
we'll organized. The start the fugitives
had was a long one. so an outer line of
guards was established Sheriff Conley

watch. the outlet of the road through
which the men would pass on the way
to the Black Hills
Every sheriff and chief of police for
miles around was furnished with a de-
scription of the outfit. Deputies Robin

on the trail, but the trail was cold.

CHAPTER !.
What manner of man is he who kills
his fellow man in cold blood for gold?
In this big, free Western country it
is hard for one to imagine him. One
in Montana can comprehend the psych-
illogical conditions which induce a cow
boy in off the range to do bodily dam
age with his revolver, or prospector
in from the hills to put his foot through
the ten commandments and wind
up, mayhap, in the penitentiary, but a
man who deliberately plans a foul muir
der, not for hatred, not for revenge, but
for the bare chance of finding gold
upon the corpse, is a man beyond the
ken of the Wcsterner.
Murder for gain is not a crime of the
West. Eugene Sue has pictured such
crimes and their criminals with striking
realism in his novels of Partisan life,
but while such crimes and criminals
may, if Sue be believed be not uncom-
mon in the capitals of Europe, they
have no Judgment here
So it is that the cruel murder of Eu-
]
American gulch has aroused all Mon
tana, and men throughout the state
are clamoring for vengeance. 1t was
a black crime, a frightful crime--inex-
cusable. unreasoning, illogical and
sprang from the basest instincts in
man.
In Washington gulch, where is the
settlement nearest to the Cullinane
cabin, the most profound indignation
exists. There the people firmly believe
that Clinton Dotson, Charles Oliver
Benson and Ellis Persinger, the three
men awaiting trial for the murder, are
the guilty men. Were they in Wash
ington gulch they would be given short
shrift.
The brilliant work of the Deer Lodge
county sheriff's Office in apprehending
these men is highly praised.

Hills to Washington gulch and sluice

their visitations.
