The San Francisco call., 1910-11-06
GUN MEN
Al CLOSE RANGE.

evening there took place one OF the
prettiest duels that the west boasts. 1t
was between Captain Bill Mcdonald Of
the rangers and Sheriff Mathews Of
Childress county. Mathews was a bad
man and proud Of it, already having
two notches on his sixshooter. He and
the ranger captain had had some diff
culties as to conflicts Of authority, and
the sheriff decided that he would be
entitled to file ring all around his
pistol IL h5 could but dispose OF this
most dreaded gunman. He was en-
tirely frank about his ambitions and
sent word freely that he intended TO do
for Mcdonald. In those days IT was
so ordinary a thing for a ranger to be
threatened with determination that the
captain paid no attention.
Finally the sheriff went over to Qua
nah to carry out his purpose. He took
two or three bad men sympathizers to
see the sport and incidentally take a
f1ier or two If opportunity offered He
took one additional precaution. He
bought the biggest plug OF tobacco he
could find and placed 1t in a pocket
that was Immediately over his heart
when in shooting position
After dark Mcdonald went to the
telegraph station and. while fling a
report, was approached by a messenger
from Mathews, who said that the latter
wanted to see him and fix things up
friendly like. Captain Bill was sus-
picious, but accompanied the messenger
to the street, where he met the sheriff
and his friends.
'Well?" he demanded.
well, I have got some things to say
to you,'' began the sheriff. shaking the
finger of his left hand at the ranger.
Slyly the right hand stole for the
pistol pocket, which movement the
ranger captain observed. 1t was win
ter time and he wore big overcoat,
with pistol In the outside pocket.
The gun of Mathews hung in the draw
ing, and this would have been instantly
fatal but for the precautionary plug Of
tobacco /. Captain Bill fired two shots
in rapid succession at the heart OF his
antagonist. Both struck within a place
as large as a dollar and both in the
plug.
BY this time the sheriff had his gun.

responded Mayes.
1t was in this same section that Ser
geant Sullivan captured the notorious
Bill Cook gang of train robbers These
men had been holding up trains in the
panhandle country. in Indian territory
and New Mexico for years. Sullivan
and his band of rangers trailed them
for weeks. Finally they were located
In a farmhouse. Sullivan stationed his
men in front of the house, which was
made of thin boards, and deliberately
walked up to the door, and was for
turning the knob and going In single
handed after the robbers, four In
number. The door was held from the
inside, and at the same time the rob-
bers opened fire through It, Two Of
their bullets went through Sullivan's S
clothing. He stood aside and his men
opened fire on the door. The robbers
retreated to the loft. and Sullivan and
Private Billy McCauley went inside.
After Billy and 1 had gotten inside
the house." said Sergeant Sullivan, "and
after / realized our dangerous position
with the outlaws just overhead l told
him to go outside or he would likely be
killed. But he was brave young man
and would not desert me. l tried to
persuade him to leave the house, for IL
he were killed knew I would be partly
that IL died he would die also. Them
young fellers amt get, a bit of sense
that way"
In this way the old veteran talks of
the exploits Of others, and seems not to
realize that he himself was also taking
a chance at death.
One Of the men in the loft offered to
surrender. "Skeeter," the notorious as
sistant of Bill Cook. who is now serv-
ing a 80 year sentence in Sing Sing, was
in command of the outlaws. Skeeter
threatened the man with instant death
If he surrendered. but Sullivan told the
outlaw that he would burn him at the
stake If he made good the threat. He
further threatened to set the house on
fire and kill every member of the gang
If they did not instantly surrender.
The threat brought results, for rang
ers have a way of taking the law into
their hands in emergencies. The whole
gang was arrested. as was Bill Cook
few weeks later, and all went to Sing
Sing for terms of 20 and 80 years.

post, gave the third degree to the Off

is door keeper for the house side of the
Texas legislature. He has the reputa-
tion OF having been the best ranger ser
geant that the force ever knew. When
asked II he ever killed a man he an
swers very apologetically and shame
facedly:
Dock Mayes was one OF the most dar-
ing and energetic cattle thieves that
Texas ever knew. He was born to the
saddle, the rife and the six shooter,and
the sheriffs of various counties had
long shown little disposition TO inter-
fere with him. Sergeant Sullivan was
sent TO get Mayes.
There were various great herds of
cattle round about Quanah, in the pam
handle Sullivan went from one to an
other OF these in search Of his man.
He finally got word that he was with a
certain herd. A sympathizer OF the
outlaw attempted to warn him OF the
approach Of the ranger. Sullivan dis
covered this and q race for the camp
that harbored the outlaw was begun.
The sympathizer won the race by a
margin Of but few hundred yards.
When Sullivan first sighted his man
the outlaw was running from the
chuck wagon TO his saddle near by for
his rife. This he secured and fortified
himself behind the wagon. Sullivan
still bore down at breakneck speed
upon the wagon. AS he neared 1t
Mayes put his gun around the corner
OF II and ordered the ranger to halt,
and that officer was fully aware Of the
desperation of the cattle thief and of
his ability to shoot But a ranger
never stops as long as he is alive, so
Sullivan dashed up to the wagon,
jumped his horse over the tongue OF It
and covered the outlaw with his pis-
toll The latter surrendered.
why the hell didn't you stop when

Sullivan.

Was Speculation in Yesterdays stock
Market--All Wanted to See
Bank Statement.

New York, Oct. Speculation was
at standstill on the stock market
today. The immediate influence was
the desire to see the bank statement,
which did not appear until after the
close.
Aside from the showing made by
that document, the general course OF
the money market was for conserva-
ton in speculative extension The
tranquility of the money market was
plainly due to self restraint OF the
speculative spirit and 1t is believed
immunity from the disturbance for
the rest of the year can be assured
only by persistence in that policy.
Specialties continued to command
the greatest share of attention In the
