TERROR
TO BANDITS

In the secret service department of
the Union Pacific railroad there is en-
ployed a man who in the palmy days
OF wicked Deadwood, S. D.. did more
to break up the bandits of that region
than any other individual. and who
achieved fame as a man hunter. scout
and detective. He is Scott Davis. In
the spring of 1875 Davis found himself

lines were then having trouble with
road agents and armed guards. called
Outriders, We're being sent out with
each coach. Davis applied for posi-
ton and got it. His first trip was I'M
eventful, but the second was up to the
record of that lawless time. While
crossing the plains in the northern
part Of Nebraska three road agents
suddenly appeared and Davis was COM
PEELED for the first time to sight over
his Winchester at man. There were
number of shots fired on both sides,
and when the battle was over two dead

ed were made additional baggage for
the stage the rest of the journey
Within two months Davis figured in
four hold-ups and the highwaymen be-
gan giving wide berth to the coaches
he attended. Davis was usually sent
out with the treasury coach, and it
was we'll known that successful raid
on this stage would net large returns
AT one time the treasury coach, in
charge of others, was robbed by four
men. Davis was put on the trail to
run them down. In company with an
other fearless man they chased the
bandits over the bad lands in northern
Nebraska for number OF days They
came up to them unexpectedly one
night and had an exciting fight, in
which two of the bandits were killed
After the railroads superseded the
stage, Davis became a ranchman, and
while so engaged five horsethieves
drove off herd containing 600 head
of horses from one of AL Patrick S
ranches. Knowing of Davis ability as
a manhunter Patrick sent for him.

Mexican labor cannot always be con-
sidered cheap. 1t is a mistake to fig
ure that because men can be hired
there for certain classes of work at
thirty-seven cents a day the product of
their labor will be correspondingly
cheap. The Mexican laborer is usually
very slow and as thoughtless of his

Notwithstanding the fact that the

She admitted that they were sleeping
in a haystack about 200 yards from the
house. Davis went to the place de-
scribed and found them asleep. He
awoke them with command to hold
up their hands. There was lively
skirmish resulting in one of the men
being killed outright, two severely
wounded. and two escaping in their
stocking feet. All the horses were re-
covered and the entire outfit taken to
