receive bids on sinking a shaft 100
feet deep on the Henderson oompany's
property that joins the Old Jim. Mr..
Jennings is ready to receive bids
both ways first for the contractor to
furnish everything, such as pumps,
machinery, timber, etc. that will be
necessary for sinking the shaft, or he
will receive bids for the company to
furnish everything.
The Commodore mines is by far
in the lead in the district in the way
of machinery. They have fitted up
their mine with the latest improved
machinery. They are installing one
Of the best air compressOrs in the
State, which will be ready for opera
ton in a week or ten days, when they
expect to finish sinking the shaft 100
or 1870 feet deep before starting a
drift.
The new shaft which is being sunk
on the Felix Cox place by j. VI. Per-
sons is between 40 and 30 feet deep
and is showing up fine with both
lump and gravel Auor spar. Mr..
Persons has not fully decided whether
he will put in sluch or a double log
washer at this place. He also ex-
poets to open up three or four other
shafts at this property.
The Marion Zinc Company has
struck a large vein of fuor spar on
the Polk property that joins the Red
property near the Brown mine. Their
new shaft is down 30 feet and the
vein is ten feet wide and still widens

poets to put in a double log washer
at this mine in the near future.

Us the Ada Florence will resume work
again next week. This mine is own

Co., but has been shut down for two

Cory Weeks, the young man who

State Officials Were Baffled Until They Sc
cured the Confession OF Eishty-Year-Old
Jack Page. After Which Indict-
n1ents z ollowed Rapidly.
History of This Remarkable Band of Incendiaries
and Their Methods OF Operation Boldness Marked
Every Move-A Desire for Revenge on the Part
of Page Finally Caused Their Exposure

night A dual existence it was. with
church worship an outward sign OF the
piety in their bosoms. Nothing es-
capped. Schooihouses were fired with
impunity, just as willingly as were
farmhouses; stores aid barns made
the objects of their incendiarism, for
one class of timber made as pretty
fame as another.
Made Arson a Business.
AS far as known, only one OF th'
band made arson a business, just TO
see things burn. This was Freddy
Bowman, genuine pyromariac, whose
lust for adventure induced him to set
fire to the Methodist church in SIryker,
D. From a small shed nearby ne
watched the flames devour the small
structure. Taken in because he was
young and precocious, ne was entrusted
with small jobs, where the risk Of Ge-
lection was not great, and where he
would be given opportunity to become
proficient in the art, and ultimately de-
yelop into talented firebug. One
night, without orders from his superb
ors. he touched of the church, and his
subsequent apprehension and confess
sion almost enSnared the remainder CT
the gang. But, SO high in the cOmmu-
nifty did the ringleaders stand, the ad-
missions of the youth were pronounced
falsehoods, and nobody but the officers
placed faith in them. Not until within
the last year, when the boys corfes-
sion was substantiated, did it become
public that his arrest was one OF the
first Of an organization OF men who al
lowed the commission of no crime,
however enormous, to stand between
them and the money they coveted.
The traveller unacquainted with the
happenings Of past years would see lit
tie in the scared country nowadays to
attract his attention. The fire-destroyed
buildings have been replaced with new
structures and, under the protection of
the state fire marshal, protection has
been given sufficiently to allow i'm
provements. But the time was when
every man, woman and child stood in
mortal fear of the gang. One man
could hardly speak confidentially to his

people OF the town, and In a moment
or two several were hurrying to the
scene.
Flight Of the Murderer.
Ayers had fallen in such a manner
that his wallet, filed with bills, could
not be reached and Ely was obliged
to scud away in the darkness, leaving
Fhe PROSTATE body of Ayers to be found
py the villagers. fastening TO Nor
rlson's barn he found that arsonist be-
side himself with rage.
why did you shoot? Why didn't
you belt him over the head?" he asked
Ely.
Shut up, you fool, had to shoot
or he would have got me-" Ely replied,
coolly; land what's worse, l didn't
have time to get the money"
Morrison, cowardly even in crime,
wanted to leave Ely to his own fate.
The Kansas City crook. however, was
too old at the business. You got me
into 1t, now get me out, or there'll be
somebody else beside me sent up for
THIS little job" was his admonition,
and it was up to Morrison to furnish
the assistance
With the help of a farm hand who
afterwards confessed, Morrison rail-
roaded Ely several miles away, where
he was to remain for a week or two.
but a posse of indignant citizens
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1905-02-22

pressed too closely on his trail and
Immediate escape was necessary. Flee
ing before the officers and farmers,
Ely's escape, as subsequently described
by himself, was one so hazardous that
he does not to-day know how the
shower of bullets sent after him failed
to end his life. With the horses push
ing him to his utmost he came upon
farmer, driving peacefully along the
road. Stop or I'll Shoot" he yelled
The farmer pulled up. Paying no at
ten to the men following. quarter of
mile behind, he stood behind the
agriculturist and ordered him to drive
like h, or I'll blow your bloody
brains out" Again the farmer obeyed.
Suddenly coming upon dozen ditch
men directly in his path, all hope of
escape seemed to be cut Off It was
then that the remarkable GOODNESS of
the man and presence of mind as
serted themselves. Hurriedly jumping
from the wagon he cowed the crowd in
front with his revolver, calmly I'm
hltched one of the horses and before
anybody knew lis intentions he had
jumped on the animals back and, with
half dozen shots, dashed on a mad
gallop to stretch of wooded land
three miles away. Reaching the
thicket he dismounted, turned the
horse loose and escaped from his pur-
suers. 1t was then that the plans of
Morrison to aid in the escape were
useful, for Ely found the home of Jack
Taylor, one of the gang, gave the pass
word, and was sheltered until he had
time to burglarize the residence of
William Schwartz, a farmer, and ulti-
mately found his way to Kansas City.
Ely's Confession.
In the investigation of recent years
the robbery of Ayers was looked into.
and information given by Jack Page
resulted in the apprehension of Ely.
He was brought to Williams county
from his residence in the west, and
when the evidence prepared by the
state fire marshal was shown him he
confessed to the deed, took the officers
over the route of his escape and yeri-
fed all that had been related by Page
IN his confession. He served one year
in the Columbus co., penitentiary for
his crime. justice having been side
tracked to some extent because he
turned states evidence and supplied
the officers with information which. in
part. resulted in the arrest and con-
viction of Morrison, who is now serv-
ing sentence of 80 years in prison.
Jack Page, first in crime after Nor
rison, enjoys freedom because he gave
information of SO much value IN hunt
ing down the firebugs. A crippled old
man now, he does not hesitate to say
that he cannot begin to remember how
many houses he fred. and how many

came each week, he visited the little
bank IN the village, drew out from
$1,000 to $1,000 with which to trans
act business the week following.
Morrison was Ayers best friend, to
all appearances. One night, Morrison
casually asked the cattleman why he
never carried revolver for protection.
What's the use?" Ayers asked.
Nobody knows 1 have money in my
pockets but my friends, and 1 trust
every ones of them
Within week Morrison, fearing to
do the job himself, imported Jim Ely,
Kansas City crook, who was to hold
up Ayers and murder him if necessary
to get the money. Ely baked on the
killing. Il have brother who will do
that; he will be here soon," he told
Morrison, and in two days c. Waldo
Ely dropped in at West Unity, met
Morrison in the latter's barn and the
details of the crime were planned.
Morrison's scouts watched Ayers,
learned that he drew about So, 900 from
the bank, and Swallowed his every
movement until the time came to
strike.
Meanwhile Morrison remained at
home, conscious of the fact that half
the swag was to be given him, that
the division was to be made in his
barn, where the plans for the robbery
were made, and that Ely was to be
planted" there until he found a good
opportunity to escape.
Yet Morrison and the cattle buyer
had been life, long friends, and Ayers,
if he was to choose any one man more
friendly to him than another, would
have selected Morrison But Morrison
saw his chance and his wicked mind
could not be restrained by mere bonds
of friendship.
The night of the assault a dismal
rain and cutting wind, almost binding
all who CHANGED to be out, kept nearly
everybody in the. village indoors.
Ayers had played his usual game of
cards and was on his way home. Nor
rison's men spotted him, signalled
Ely, who was lying in ambush, and
when Ayers came to the designated
spot he found two big guns thrust in
front of his face.
Ely was behind them, well masked.
Your dough, please" was all the ac-
complished stick-up man said
Ayers reached for an old-fashioned
Colt revolver that he had, by mere
chance, put into his pocket before
leaving home. Afterwards he said
that Morrison's admonition made him
suspicious
AS he pulled the gun there were two
sharp reports as streaks of fame
poured from the barrels Of the guns
Ely held. Ayers fell with q groan.
The noise Of the shooting attracted
