they had sworn to capture, leaped on
his horse and dashed after Murrietta.
The chase continued for three-fourths
of mile. Whites animal was greatly
superior in speed to the mustang bear

within shooting distance. He fired
twice at the robber, the second time
at close range. Murrietta half jumped.

Spanish, Il surrender"
White noted that the bandit was I'M
armed. He had left his belt of pistols
lying on the ground pear the fire. un-
conscious of danger. White kept his
man covered, and had just ordered him
to move toward the camping place,
when a party of the rangers, hot from
the pursuit and determination of tho
bandits, came galloping onto the scene.
They were excited, angry, reckless.
Under the impression that the robber
chief was resisting White, and not
stopping for inquiry, the men fired at
the wounded bandit. He sank to the
ground, riddled with balls.
In the pursuit of the Mexicans only
two prisoners were taken. AS to the
fate of the other robbers, Capt. Howard
remarked, dryly: None got away;
and we didn't take any wounded prls-
oners." After a consultation, it was
decided to cut off the head Of Joaquin
and the game hand" Of "Three-Fin-
gered Jack" as proof that these noted
desperadoes had been sent to their long
accounts. Jim Norton took a bowie
knife and hacked off the head Of the
bandit chief, which was placed in a
sack with Jacks hand. The rangers
started for Millerton, the nearest set
Element, where DR.. Leach picked the
head of Murrietta.
When it became generally known
that the great bandit, Joaquin Muir
rietta, had been killed and that his
band had been dispersed, the salutary
effect on the lawless element was at
once apparent. The great majority Of
the tough characters, warned by the
fate of Murrietta, left central Califor-
mia and sought other spheres of useful
ness. And so the California Rangers
were disbanded three months after
having organized. But the terror Of
their name had the effect of discour-
aging the cooperative robbery bust

ally forgot the lack of manner in the

appreciate his intelligence, his patriot

all that pertained to the great republic

They were probably thirty minutes

ished in their visible and wonderful
admiration for the man. They hear

that none of those English noblemen
ever thereafter uttered a disrespectful

trail. Affairs grew so desperate that
some Of the most prominent and in
fuential men in the state drew up a
bill providing for the organization of
a company of twenty men, to be
known as California Rangers. The
governor was given authority to ap-
point a chief or captain, the latter to
select nineteen others to complete the
organization. AS the measure was
passed and approved, the rangers were
given almost autocratic power. They
were permitted to take prisoners, try
and execute criminals without advice
or interference from the ordinary civil
authorities. Their mission was the
restoration of law and order, the pro-
lection of the lives and property of the
people Of the state.
The man selected to command this
remarkable company was Harry Love.
a hercules in strength, standing six
feet in his socks, magnificent man,
with curly black hair falling over his
broad shoulders, moustachios of the
same somber hue half covering his de-
termined and aggressive chin. Love
was a noted Indian fighter, veteran
of the Mexican war, and in all re-
spects qualified for his task. He Sc
lected nineteen men, among them
Capt. Howard, and all but the last
named are dead.
Believing that Murrietta's audacious
operations were the chief inspiration
to the smaller fry of .lawless charac-
tiers, Capt. Love and his fellow-rangers
turned their undivided attention to the
capture of this bandit and the break
ing up of his gang. But Joaquin was
a slippery fellow and managed to evade
the pursuers for many weeks. Finally,
however, word was brought to the
rangers that Murrietta and his band
were camped on the st. Louis Gonzales
ranch, on the west side of the San
Joaquin river. Love and his men made
a forced march to the scene. only to
find that their prey had departed. But
the trail was still warm. and after a
weary pursuit, on the morning OF July
%, 1883. the gang was brought to bay
between the hills west of Kern lake.

these hills, and on the north side OF

have been forced into the air clear of
the rails to a sufficient height to allow
forty-ton coal car, which was the
leading car of the train, to shoot for
ward beneath it and catch it as it fell.
In no other way could the relative po-
sitions, after the collision, of the en-
gine tender and coal car be explained.
AS matter of fact, it is common oc-
currence, where the locomotives meet
front to front in collision, for the en-
gines to rear squarely in the air and
then fall sideways or be thrown back
upon their own trains. The mere mo-
mentum of the two engines alone
would not accomplish this or fling a
locomotive, as in the case of our illus
tration, clear into the air; but we
must remember that behind the en-
gines there is the stored-up energy of,

Ex-Gov. James Stephen Hogg went

see the fair. The big ex-governor said
he went over to have some fun at the
expense of the pickpockets who, as he
had heard, were infesting the fair.
/ He had a mild Internal machine ar
ranged inside of watch case, and
with what seemed to be $500 chro-
nometer in his vest pocket he strolled
about the grounds in the thickest
crowds, and with feelings akin to those
of a man who carries chip on his
shoulder.
While he was looking at menagerie
of animals, an ostrich spied the bulg-
ing pocket, and deity lifted the
timepiece. A ten-foot string attached
to the watch, on pulling taut, was to
set off the machine.

MEN OF IRON NERVE.
THE CALIFORNIA RANGERS OF
LONG AGO.
How an Organization Vested with
Plenary Powers Rids a State of Out
Iaws-rhe Killing of Joaquin MurIi-
eta, Leader OF Mexican Bandits.

Concerning the lives and exploits OF
the bandits who fiourished in Callfor-
MIA during the formative period of the
states history a great deal has been
published calculated to throw a glamour
of romantic sympathy about the per-
sons of desperate scoundrels whose
only real virtue was physical courage.
Fable and fancy have been particularly
kind to the memory of that picturesque
cut-throat, Joaquin Murrietta, who has
been painted as a sort of modern
Claude Duval-with the manner of a
Chesterfield, the form of Adonis and
the heart of pirate. The real story
of his life, in its entirety, may never
be written, but here is the true story
of how Joaquin Murrietta, the most
noted, feared and hated of all the des-
peradoes who figure in the annals or
the state, came to his death. 1t is
the first authentic account ever pub
lished Of the killing of the famous ban
dit, as related by the only man now
living who was an eyewitness of and
a participant in the tragedy.
The facts are given by Capt. William
]. Howard the last survivor of the
celebrated California Rangers, who
followed the bandits for hundreds OF
miles, and routed them in the San
Joaquin valley. where Joaquin and his
lieutenant, "Three-Fingered Jack"
were killed. and the formers head
Howard is native of Virginia, served
in the Mexican war, was member of
the Walker filibustering expedition in
to Nicaragua, and went to California,
where he still resides, with the earliest
goldseekers.
Murrietta, Mexican, was the leader
of gang Of his fellow-countrymen as
bad as and worse than he himself. Rob-
berry, arson, murder, marked their

say thousand-ton train, moving at
the rate of twenty miles an hour,
which would be amply sufficient to
force the locomotive clear of the rails.
The engine having elected to travel
on other wheels than its own, the
wrecking crew promptly accepted the
suggestion, and, after backing the end
of an empty coal car under the front
end of the engine, as shown in the IL
lustration, the two cars, with their
novel freight, were hauled to Bloom
ington shops for repairs. The weight
of the engine is fifty tons. Therefore,
the total load of the car, including the
coal, was about ninety tons. The
holsters were of steel, and it speaks
volumes for the strength and general
excellence of construction that it
should have received and carried such
an unprecedented burden without ma
terial injury.
