A Gentlemanly Robber
he Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
 "One of the most pleasing men I ever knew in a social way was train rob ber." remarked Capt. Ben F. Couch, former sheriff of Hidago county, Texas. at the Emerson.
 s "Of course none of us who associated with Captain Bunch, as the best men in the county did, had the least idea that he was in the bandit business. He never put on much style was not given to any lavish expenditure of money, and, though he treated whenever his time came. mo- body ever saw him flash an unusually fat roll of bills
 T was reminded of his daring ex- poits by the recent holdup of passengers by solitary desperado on Baltimore and Ohio train in the West Virginia mountains. This was Captain Bunch s system. He invariably operated alone, and was always successful in getting away with big loot. He was a tall. pow erfully built man, with light blue eyes and reddish hair, and his extraordinary nerve never forsook him. He was well educated, of very pleasing address and had been clerk of one of the superior courts.
 Several times Captain Bunch robbed the Texas and PacGc passenger trains at point west of Fort Worth. and all ways it was the lone bandit. and always he got away Indeed. he might have piled his game indefinitely but for the old. old story of putting faith in woman. A sweetheart in New orleans revealed him to the detectives, and then began one o1 the most thrilling man hunts that ever came off in our region
 After getting on his trail it was some days before the officers caught up with their man. The fugitive had no notior of being taken alive. and in the midst oi dense Arkansas swamp he made his last stand. firing at his foe with a re- volver in each hand The odds were too strong. however. and there in that desc late. Gorforsaken morass the only req gentleman robber ever knew yielded uI his life"
