Late the third afternoon I stum- bled on the ashes of a campfire, and close beside it, among the frs and cedars, found where horses had been tied. This was what I had searched for, and I felt sure that would here find something of value l camped short distance from the place so would not disturb it, leaving my examination until the next morn ing, when 1 would have a good light it then being too dark to attempt such a thing.
 That night, by the light of my campfire. 1 read again the report of the robbery as given by the train hands. Near the last of it was the account of the sleeping car porter who related, with evident grief, that he had been relieved of s615 in silver and that the bandits had rified the liquor cabinet of the buffet, taking with them all of the whisky and few bottles of the rarer and stronger wines.
 Early next morning I examined the deserted camp of the highwaymen There was nothing but a burned-out pile of ashes and charred sticks and a few empty bottles. The bottles gave the clew for which I searched. The highwaymen had certainly made their

erous owner of the good liquor, with a show of indifference I was far from feeling He was a late arrival, 1t seemed, and lived in shanty far up on the mountain-side with two com- panions. The three were making rather poor attempt to work claim they had preempted.
 Getting away from my loquacious miner-friend, I climbed the steep trail to the cabin and set about an investi- gation of it with great caution. The men were at home, and from the sounds issuing from it's closed doors I guessed they were having rare old time that evening. I approached to the very door and listened with my ear to the blanks to sounds of revelry within. The men were gambling and drinking, and I could hear the clink of coins and the rattle of bottles and the ribald jests with which they made their bets and gloated over their winnings and cursed their luck when they lost. heard sufficient to make me sure that my much-sought bandits were in the cabin, although there was no direct mention of the express robbery.

men. They had not stopped there cer- tainly, so I took the trail to Telluride, a mining camp farther on in the noun tains. Telluride was then camp of 500 or 1000 souls, and there was a bit of mining boom on which daily brought new prospectors to swell it's citizenship, fatuous souls brought there by the greed of gold-a lure that never fails to attract victims in swarms. For three days I searched in vain through the saloons and dance halls and other places where the rough miners congregated without finding a trace of my three rogues. That infal- lible sixth sense of mine was doing it's best to keep me longer in Tellu- ride, although my judgment told me to move on to Silverton; but in the end my intuition won the fight and remained.
 One evening I was drinking with a raw-boned miner The whisky was abominable. The distillery where it was made would never have recog- nized it's product in it's present form. I complained of the poor quality of whisky and asked my acquaintance if there were not some better stuff to be found in the camp. He said there was not, at any of the bars, but that he had been given an amazingly good drink by miner, whose name he men, toned. He said it had been in little bottle which held just enough to tease one, but it was the best liquor he had drunk since he left Kentucky many years before He licked his lips in pleasant memory of the drink

camp here. Each bottle bore the label of the sleeping car company, and some of them were the diminutive fasks of which I had drunk one on the trip from Denver There was not scrap of paper anywhere else to be found
 'Elated with my success, 1 made a survey of the country and discovered half-obscure trail leading farther into the mountains. l took up this trail and followed it as best I could until nightfall Often I lost it, and sometimes I spent an hour or more casting about to pick it up again, as have seen hounds baffled on the trail of fox. About three o'clock that afternoon I found something that made my eyes sparkle. Shattered into a thousand pieces was the remains of one of the small whisky bottles on large flat rock beside the trail where it had doubtless been cast in a playful mood induced by it's contents. Among the fragments I found the label of the car company.
 Tt was the dry season, and this was in my favor, for no rains came to obliterate the trail. For five days I followed the bandits across the hills and through the valleys, verifying my route from time to time by fragments of broken whisky bottles along the way, and at the places where they had camped for a night. The buffet-car must have been well stocked, for l found many bottles in this journey.
 The trail eventually came to a well beaten road, which, from my map, I learned was the stage and mail route from Montrose, the nearest railroad point to Ouray, then a rather insig- nificant mining settlement. l lost no time in getting to Ouray, for it was impossible to trail my men along this road and I was sure they had headed for the mining camp.
 Two days were spent at Ouray without finding a trace of the three

Tt would have been the rankest folly to have attempted their arrest without ssistance-although I did tackle such job once in my salad days, as this scar will testify" and he pointed to an ugly wound at the back of his neck, partially covered by his flowing gray locks. But that is an other story. I decided to call on the United States deputy marshal, man of tigerish bravery, for assistance. There was no chink or crack in the door through which 1 could gain a peek at the interior of the cabin, so l dropped down on my hands and knees and crawled around to the back of the cabin where I thought there might be a window There was a win dow, but it was closed with heavy shutter, and I could not find any point to peep through; but l did find some thing on the way around. My hand touched something round and smooth, and l clutched it inyoluntarily. It was one of the little whisky fiasks. After l had left the cabin I struck a match and examined i.. The label of the car company was still on it.
 The deputy marshal was found at one of the dance halls and he soon summoned a reliable posse Ne sur rounded the cabin, from which still is. sued the sounds of revelry. The men were stationed at every point about it. Then the marshal and 1 rapped on the door. In response to our summons one of the miners staggered across the floor and threw the door wide open. We tripped him up and rushed over him into the cabin. The men were too drunk to make any resist. ance, and we captured them without

What This SpringdaIe Citizen Says Only COrroborates the
 Story of Thousands.

The particulars related by this representative citizen of Spring. dale are similar to hundreds of others in this city. When there are scores of people, all anxious to tell about the benefits received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, the greatest skeptie in Springdale must be convinced. Read the following.

A lame ness in my back annoyed me very much and at times almost pre- vented me from getting about. also suffered from headaches, located principally in the back part of my head. The various remedies l used had but little effect on my condition and It was left for Doan's Kidney Pills to relieve me. l procured this remedy at II. A. Daily's drug store and after taking few doses, found that the lameness i'll my back was disappearing. Upon finishing the contents of the box l had no sign of the backache or headache.
