The murdererS became terror stricken when they saw him coming and hastily lock5d the door. Masterson jumped square against the door with both feet, bursting it open at the first attempt Then he sprang inside firing immedi- ately right and left. Fonr dropped dead in a shorter time than it requires to tell it. The remaining three ran for their horses in a vain attempt to escape from the town. He followed them up so closely that before they reached the outskirts of the town all three had bitten the dus.."
 Another tragical tale follows:
 Two Mexican half breeds, a father and son. became very troublesome in the mining camps. They were the sharpsst shots. in the country and they worked together with a precision that made them invincible. A standing of fer of $5.OCO was offered for their bod les or their heads. Finally Masterson resolved to kill the half breeds. They occupied a cabin in a little clearing in an almost inacce ssible place in the mountains One morning just before daybreak Masterson crept to the edge of the clearing with a repeating rife in his hands. Hidden by a friendly bush he r. clined on a sack he had brought from his horse. Shortly after sunrise the door of the cabin opened wide enough to permit the shaggy head of the cid man to protrude. It was with drawn, but reapp5ar.d in a few min utes followed by body with a belt of pistols strapped around it's waist and a rifle slung over it's shoulder. The old man carried a water pail and at his side was his son fully armed. Master son covered the old man with his rifle. The father and son were conversing earnestly. At last the time came. Mas terson took advantage of his oppor- tunity and the young man fell to rise no more. Before the smoke had re vealed from whence the shot had come the old man was corpse also. Cutting their heads off Masterson put them in the sack and started for the promised reward. A two days ride in the hot sun swelled the heads beyond recogni- tion, taking advantage of which the au- thorities refused to pay the reward"
 Illustrating Eats power over the bad mon he associated with, Sheriff Tate and a party of Kansas officials went to Dodge City to arrest some of the gang. but found the job too great an under taking. The sheriff said: The off, cers understood that Bat Masterson was with the crowd and knowing this entertained no fears that there would be trouble for they knew Bat would hold things level. Bat Masterscn is a professional gambler who has killed two or three men and shot several oth- Ter is rt m ha a1a ments of a leader but is unquestion- ably d vicious man. We would in all probability have been killed but for the fact that he happened to be in our room when the mob made it's rush for our quarters. While he was with them the rioters Cbeyed him implicitly. I do not suppose that Masterson is one of those human tigers whose chief delight is in shedding blood. but no one who knows his history and studies his face would feel safe in his power if he held a grU1ge."
 When Bat ran the Palace thea.er on Blake street in this city he had a set of rules which governed the house and the following are a few of them:
 Performers writing U this house for an engagement will state the quality and quantity of their warGrobes and ths amCJnt of salary they will work for, no: what they want. for we make all tbo allowances for a performer s gall. We care nothing about how they

 In a history of the bad town of Dcdge City appears the following:
 The king of the town, however, was Ba- Masterson. Hardly of average height. stockily built, rather swarthy complexion. a good face and small hands and feet. tho stranger would not have piched him out for a killer. Only his eyes showed the dangerous charac- ter of the man. Ordinarily clear and serene. they fash wickedly when their owner was angry and W hen in this s.ate he was terror to those around i , every year of his life; has been in every sort of a fight and is yet unharmed. His most thrilling experience was in the i great Adobe Walls fight in 1873, where , twenty-siX white men Kert 500 South ern Cheyenne and Arapanoes at bay until the troops came up. It was not often that any man tried to run the town. Bat Mastsrson was the only one who tried it with any success and f lived. Denver Times.
