 News of the fight in Williams Cache reached Medicine Bend in the night Horsemen, filling in the gaps between telephones leading to the north coun try. made the circuit complete, but ths accounts, confused and colored in the repeating, came in a cloud of con fiicting rumors. In the streets, little groups s of men discussed the frag- mentary reports as they came from the railroad offices. Toward morning Sleepy Cat, nearer the scene of the fight, began sending in telegraphic re ports in which truth and rumor were strangely mixed. McCloud waited al the wires all night hoping for trus worthy advices as to the result, but re ceived none. Even during the morn ing nothing came, and the silence news of the early night. Routine busi ness was almost suspended and Me Cloud and Rooney Lee kept the wires warm with inquiries, but neither the telephone nor the telegraph would yield any definite word as to what had actually happened in the Williams Cache fight. It was easy to fear tn, worst.
 At the noon hour McCloud was sigr ing letters when Dicksie Dunnin; walked hurriediy up the hall and hesi tated in the passageway before tho open door of his office.

The Death of pu Sang.

Whispering Smith. with his horse in a lather, rode slowly back 20 minutes later with Seagrue disarmed ahead or him. The deserted battle-ground was alive with men. Stormy German, hot for blood. had come back, captured Karg, and begun swearing all over again and Smith listened with amt able surprise while he explained that seeing Dancing killed, and not being able to tell from Whispering Smith peculiar tactics which side he was shooting at, German and his compan- ions had gone for help. While they angrily surrounded Karg and Seagrue, Smith slipped from his horse where Bill Dancing lay, lifted the huge head from the dust, and tried to turn the giant over. A groan greeted the at. tempt.
 Bill, open your eyes. Why. would you not do as l wanted you to-" he murmured bitterly to himself. A sec- ond groan answered him. Smith called for water, and from a canteen drenched the pallid forehead, talking softly meanwhile; but his efforts to re. store consciousness were unavailing. lie turned to where two of the COW. boys had dragged karg to the ground and three others had their old com. panion Seagrue in hand While two held huge revolvers within six inches of his head. third was adjusting rop6 knot under his ear.
 Whispering Smith became inter- estei. Hold onl" said he, mildly, what is loose? What are you going to do?"
 We're going to hang these fellows" answered Stormy. with volley of hair.raising impreeations.
