gentleman in manner, highly educated
and of unlimited nerve. He had for
merly been Chancery Clerk in one of
the Texas counties, but got on the
wrong track and perpetrated a number
of sensational train hold-ups all the
way from New Mexico to Georgia. His
usual plan was to work alone, though
he had several lieutenants, his chief
aide being man named Hopgood.
In the Derby robbery Bunch got on
the train at Derby tank and proceeded
into the express car. He caught the
messenger unawares and the safe was
open. He tied the messenger by the
feet and arms then slipped him into
sack and tied that He secured
what was reported to be between $780,
900 and $4,000 and quietly left the
train, going from here to Texas. In
Ft Worth he was in poker game and
suspected that one of the players was
an officer. This player made some
ugly remark and Bunch shot and killed
him. He afterwards robbed the Fl.
Worth & Denver train in Texas, with
the assistance of another man, robbing
not only the express car but the pas.
sengers, and unaided pulled off several
other successful robberies.
In the meantime the Express Com
pany is said to have bought over Hop

vous in Louisiana. Hopgood Joined
Bunch in his hiding place and when
the officers surrounded the place and
the battle opened, Hopgood is said to
have turned and shot his companion,
killing him on the spot
Hopgood afterwards shot and killed
a man named Jim Terrell in settle
ment row in Marion county, Missis-
sippi. He was arrested and secured
change of venue to the Second Dis
trict of Perry county, having been
confined in the county jail here for
some time. The Express Company
was said to have put up the money
for Hopgood's defense and the best
legal talent in the state was secured
for his defense. Mr.. Bennett was a
deputy sheriff here at that time and
was constantly in the court room and
saw a good deal of Hopgood. He talks
interestingly of the court proceedings
and stated that the jury brought in an
acquittal after being out only brief
while.

Meyer of Clifton has been named
secretary of the club and will have
an assistant who will be in active
charge of headquarters.
Nominally the club is to aid in the
general support of the regular Re
publican ticket in Mesa county. Ac-
tually, it is intended to capture the
assembly and name Taft delegates TO
the state convention. If this proves
impossible it is the avowed Intention
OF the leaders of the club to apply the
acid test" in Mesa county and send
contesting delegation to Denver to
the state convention.
1t is certain that Mesa county will
have Taft delegates in the conven-
ton. II they do not come from the
regular convention they Will come as
contestants and it is already under
stood that the Roosevelt men viii
be unseated to make room for the

reports and keep the valley from be-
ing flooded with men who might have
to remain idle for several weeks

of the Colorado Midland, in talking
