TOM KETChUM.

The Daring Leader of Black JACKIE
Gang of Bandits.
The notorious leader Of the Infamous
Black Jacks" gang Of train robbers
and murderers, Tom Ketchum, Is now
IN the penitentiary at Sarta Fe, N. NJ.
Tom held up a train single-handed and
IN the sequel to this was wounded and
captured.
1t was the Colorado Southern express
hat Tom held up. The place selected
was near Folsom, on the northeast
corner Of New Mexico. One night as
me express was putting laboriously up
| grade the engineer saw light ahead
giving the signal to stop. When the
train slowed down Tom Ketchum
Jumped into the cab and. carelessly
Iwinging a As Colt near the engineer
nose. told him to obey all orders given
during the next few minutes. This
Tom said. would save heartaches In the
engineers home and the intrusion Of an
undertaken in the family circle. Then
he jumped off and tried to uncouple the
engine, which was made Impossible by
the steep grade. Failing in this. Tom
walked back TO the Wells Fargo ex-
press car and, humping the door with
the butt of his Colt, demanded admit
! tance. The messenger opened the door
and poked the muzzle of Winchester
out into the dark and pulled the trigger.
i That put an end to the holdup that
night. Just how badly Tom was shot
is not known, for he was wounded In a
subsequent battle with United States
Marshal Foraker's posse and he will
not say how much damage the messen-
ger did. AS he declared the holdup off
1t is probable he was severely injured.
The express pulled on and Tom jumped
his broncho and sought safety in the
mountains
The attempted robbery was sool
Known to the officials, and three days
! .ater Marshal Foraker's men were
hunting for Tom in the uplands. They
finally hit the trail and followed it back
into the very heart Of the mountains.
Here they lost It and while discussing g
the best move a report of rife split
the air and one OF the deputies fell out
Of his saddle. This was sufficient evil
dence of Toms presence in the vicinity,
but not his exact whereabouts, as Tom
used smokeless cartridges. Another
shot was heard and another deputy
went to the ground. At this rate every
man in the posse would be cut down
without a ghost of chance of getting
shot. The deputies. therefore, sep
arated and began to scour the brush. A
CLINT Of sunshine playing on the blue
steel barrel of a Winchester disclosed
Tom Ketchum's position behind a big
bowlder surrounded by brushwood
Then the days proceedings began. The
| deputies shot at that CLINT Of sunshine
playing along blue steel; Tom shot at
the deputies. The deputies lodged be-
hind trees and rocks and shot wildly.
Tom stayed where he was and made
bulrs-eyes. If Tom hadn't showed his
right arm a little too high in taking
aim he would have brought down a full
mess Of deputies. As 1t was a slug Of
lead as big as your finger tore through
Toms shooting member. and It took
1 few minutes to change his Winchester
over to his left arm. In these short
minutes the deputies closed in on Tom
and captured him. He was in a bad
