 { Dannie Perkins, a farmer boy, who joined in the pursuit, showed such re- markable courage he has been per mitted to render services to the Mar shars office since that tim,s. Fossett and Baxter were in the lead when the lad, not more than 16 years old and sloUchily dressed, rode up and around them. Marshal FOssett called to him of the dangsr, but he paid no attention. He rode on until he was within less than a quarter of a mile of the out laws. Then he dismOunted, dropped to his knees and began firing in true Western fashion The fire was return ed, but the boy mounted, rode closer and began firing again. This kept up for some time, and after lively skir- mish the boy mounted. rode back past the officials and shouted in boyish voice that he tried to stretch into that of a mans:

 It was getting dusk, and the horse thieves jumped from the buggy and ran into the wood. The officers did not care to follow. It was not learned until some time afterward that these men were he Martin boys, whom Ben nett afterward killed. More than $7,00O was offered for the the hsads of the Martin brothers, but Bennett and Haines only got the $500 offered by the Territory.

does Who Were Feared in the Terri- tOry-Farmer Boy Who Joined in a Horse Thief Chase.
 Warren Bennett. the United States deputy marshal and chief of the In- lian police of the Osage nation, who lied at Pawhuska, Osage nation, last Eesk, was the last Oklahoma official to mgage in an open conflict with out avs.
 The killing of Bill and Sam Martin, ays the Kansas City Journal, in a ecluded opening surrounded by a. hickly wooded region in the Osage pation near Pawhuska has been record Id by the officials who knew the cir n1mstances as one of the bravest acts tnown among the United States of- ieials of Oklahoma.
 Arthur Simmons, a companion of the notorious Martin boys, escaped and for ack of other information it was said hat Simmons had shown up" his companions to the United States of teers to avoid capture and prosecution. What really savsd Simmons was the
 
 policeman, who accompanied Bennett. After killing the Martin brothers Ben nett gave up pursuit of Simmons to sare for the wounded officer. Simmons s still at large.
 The Martin brothers had been want ed in five States for five years Start lng on their career as chicken thieves n Kansas, they became desperate horse thisves, changing their stopping places rom Kansas to Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and Indian Territory, and elud- ing the officers in this way In the year 1903 they became bloodthirsty and Dn March murdered the Rock Island station agent at Hennessey in cold blood. They robbed the station house, but were pursued the next day and the stolen property was recovered. A lew days later they murdered City Marshal Cross of Geary, seemingly for the sole purpose of taking his star. After shooting him the star and a small pocket pistol were all they took rom his body. Both were taken from The bodies of the llesperadoes after they had been killed. v 3E"
 A few weeks later occurred one Of the boldest holdups that ever took place in she history of the Territory. It happen I'd one Sunday morning few miles from Pawhuska at lodge picnic. The picnic took place in 8 wood to which led a narrow lane. Before the pick nickers began to arrive the Martin boys and Simmons took their places be- Iide the lane. When the first wagon NLooa or ru;1 guns and made the occupants climb out Two kept them covered while third Inspected the horses. The horses did no suit, and the picnickers were com nnanded to drive on. Tn this way more than one hundred persons were held up as they came to the picnic The outlaws finally found three horses that suited their fancy and rode away.

One of the many creeks running down into the Grand Canyon is called
 Bright Angel creek. There are many legends connected with the name of this stream.
 One of them, not commonly known, is that it was, named by 8 party of prospectors who had become lost in the canyon. They had gone down into the broad reach of table land, half way down the great chasm, and could not find their way either up or down. Then
 provisions and water gave out. Finally one of the party became al-
 most insane. They kept crying for wa ter and continually urged those carrying him to press on. At last they | came to point around which it seemed impossible to chamber.
 The sickman suddenly said he saw a
 vision. It was that of bright angel
 who motioned the party on. The others
 simply regarded this as the raving of a crazy man. He was so insistent, how ever, that they made another effort to round the point.
 Finally, all succeeded in rounding what was thought to be an impossible obstacle and there. within a few feet
 of them. was beautiful creek. Their
 lives were saved, and they named it 1 forthwith Bright Angel creek.
 This is a. pretty story, in striking contrast to those of the guides, al-
 though there is probably no more truth
 in it than in some of Hances yarns. l The traveller will find that there is a
 heap more than an enormous chasm
 in the earth at the Grand canyon.-New l York Sun.

There is one conundrum that Grand canyon guides always ask. It is a re- ligious duty with them. ... ....... .-.
 As you reach certain spot and you are wondering if your mule is going to make misstep and launch you over a cliff that is full 2,OO0 feet high or deep, just as you may prefer to call it, the guide, no matter which one of a dozen he is, invariably turns in his saddle and asks the members of the party behind him, Individually and col- actively: .....-...
 why is the Grand conyon like the hands?'' s&4....
 No one knows. Thereupon the guide answers. ... -...-,... .....
 Because tourists (two wrists) sup port it.' :.~ ..
 Thereupon the visitor is expected to laugh uproariously, if he plays his part properly. Even the mules stop when this conundrt1m is ut, and when the guide gives the answer they invariably place their feet upon the very edge of the precipice and heehaw, heehaw, heelaw, until the traveller takes the hint and joins all the rest of the donkeys in the merriment. When you go down in the Grand canyon it Is well to keep the guide in good humor.
