We'll. I'll go over and see," Captain Bill re-
piled quantity, continuing straight toward the
mob store
AS he entered there was a little STIR then
silence. Evidently those present had not ex
pected that he would walk straight among
them. Here he was-they could kill him and
put an end to all this trouble in short order;
But somehow they didn't do it. There seemed
good moment to begin. Captain Bill walked
over and faced Ogle.
Come outside he said quietly, II want to talk
to YOU
Ogle hesitated.

Captain Bill laid his hand on Ogle's shout.

Outside Captain Bill led Ogle to the middle
of the street. 1t was blazing hot and the sand
burned through his boots, but he could talk to
Ogle out there and keep an eye on the others too
Nov, Bill Ogle," he said in his deliberate,
calm way-"I know all about you l know how
you and your outfit murdered Jim Brown-just
how you planned it. and how you did it. I've

The examining trial of Bill Ogle was an event
in San Saba. Josh Mccormack was chief wit,
ness for the state, and was badly scared man,
in spite of the fact that the Rangers had armed
him and guaranteed him protection from the
members of the Buzzards Water-Hole crowd.
Other witnesses on both sides were frightened
enough for nobody knew what might happen DO
fore this thing ended.
When the court of examination adjourned Ogle
was held without bail. Through the efforts of
District Attorney Lynden it was decided to trans
fer the case to Lano county for final trial

grounds that no fair trial could be obtained in

Captain Bill went to Austin himself after
Sullivan. so that there might be no mistake
about his coming. He presented the case to
Governor Culberson and got his sanction; then
sent word to his men at San Saba to meet
them, and he arrived with Sullivan promptly
time. He had expected that there would be
a demonstration by the sheriff and his friend,
instead of which the streets of the little town
were deserted
Captain Bill began doing quiet detective
work, labor for which he has a natural apti-
tude, as shown by the shape of his ears and
nose, and from the ferret look of his eyes that
this would be so. Good citizens now took

been regarded menace, for one Sunday
night while riding from church with his wife
and her brother he shot dead from am
bush, his wife, whose horse became frightened
and within range, receiving painful
wound.
Captain Bill secured Information which con-
WINGED him that one Bill Ogle had been the
chief instigator in this crime.
The murderers now realized that trouble was
in store for them. Some of the men began
quietly to leave the country. Others consulted
together in secluded places and plotted to "kill
Bill Mcdonald" Sympathizing citizens encour-
m
ings-always the first resort of the frightened
criminal-began to arrive in the Ranger camp
Captain Bill paid no attention to such communi-
cations; he was used to them. He went on
gathering and solidifying his evidence, prepar-
atory to the arrest of Ogle and such of his as
sociates the proofs would warrant. sOgle,
the tiger of the society, as he was consid.
cred, Mcdonald had not yet seen, as the tiger
did not live in the town, and for some reason
had lately avoided those precincts He arrived
however, in due season. Perhaps the brother
hood let him know that it time he was ia
king hand in the game.
Captain Mcdonald, one hot afternoon, was
talking to an acquaintance on the streets of
San Saba, when he noticed stout surly look
ing man with the village constable, not far
away. Now and then they looked and nodded
in his direction, and presently an uncompli-
mentary name drifted to his ear.
Who is that fellow talking to that sorry con-
stable?" he asked
His companion lowered his voice to dis
Greet whisper.
THAT is Bill Ogle," he said, "the worst man
of the murder mob"
Captain Bill looked pleased.
Good bye he nodded, Il want to see Bill
Ogle.'
Ogle had crossed the street and passed
through the courthouse to hardware store on
the other side-where number of his friends
had collected.

Light on Cause Of tuberculosis.


The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
In Washington on May and 8. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DR.. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora-
tories of the New York city depart
ment of health. Doctor Park commended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, If ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter-
nal organs, which compose only about
ten per cent. of the sickness from
this disease, are often caused by drink
ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions BY
showing the results of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathology
cal specimens. His conclusions ara
substantially those reached by DR..
Robert Koch, the discoverer Of the tu-
berculosis bacillus.
