feet apart each way. Knowing just
where each man was stationed, the
rangers fired repeatedly at their enc
mics with certain results, while the
oonvicts were unable to distinguish
friend from foe and often shot at one

When dawn broke the rangers With
their treasure were within sight Of
Sub-station No. ], and there they were
reinforced by Johnson, four rebellious
German girls. who could WELD a gun
as well as some OF the men, and about
twenty head OF horses. This placed
the regulators in very much better

as many convicts pursuing them, and

rangers started out on foot. leading
their mounts, trying TO keep their
stock fresh for the race they expected
would follow detection when their
flight was discovered.
An advance and rear guard were
placed over the train TO guard against
surprise. The party had not pro
ceded very far before word was sent
IN from the front and rear both that
suspicion pointed towards an ambush
and trap. The lines were drawn up
closer and preparations made to en-

rangers and the city during the night
as possible, to get into the open coun-

be necessary 10 get out, and the quick

tie thought the rangers would do so.
Denver's scheme was to form an at
lacking party. by fitting the coach
with men. and attempt to ride into the
very midst Of the gang dealing as
much destruction as possible.
Lots were drawn by the rangers to
see who would form the party; each
man knowing full well that he was
risking his very life on slim chances.
Denver and Lang volunteered to be
OF the party of sixteen who we're to
I'LL the coach, so only IA others were
chosen by lottery; eight OF the best
and nos spirited horses were then
hitched to the coach and the regula-
tors took their places, armed to The

It fell to the lot OF Philip Farnum to
drive the quintette. But Louis Lang
was no coward. and knowing the
chances the driver had or ever living
to get the coach outside the enclosure,
mounted the box with him. ready TO
grab the lines in case Farnum was
wounded Lang protected himself as
much as possible by placing a box aad
a few rail supports on the top Of the
coach in a manner that would give

The intention Of the coach party
was to u an opening through the
mob when they least expected It; TO
cause confusion by stampeding the
horses and to draw of a large part of
the outlaws after the coach to enable
the regulators 10 withdraw from the
farm carrying the treasure with them.
