Making a

There were only five men in the smoking car by the time the train had passed Three Fork station, and they were all business men connected with some eastern or western house. No. B was not popular train, and they took it simply because each had busi- ness engagements or schedules that must be followed
 The train had just spun through wide arid waste, leaving behind clouds of alkali dust
 The five men were grouped togeth- ar, pretty we'll talked out on general subjects, and each ready for little excitement, when one of them pointed put of the window See those foot hills over there? Just few months ago, they caught Red Bert there. He held up 6 train near here, and shot the engineer and an express agent"
 Then 1t was that little insignifi- cant chap who had joined them fifty miles back, by his card representa- tive of a small beef concern, ruffled the nerves of the five travel weary men in a way he had not before.
 The little drummer, Blake. nodded his bald head, and started in to relate some of his exploits and went on: ~You bet wouldn't lay down for no man that walks here in the west or anywhere Most of you fellows are from the east, take it. and go through to the coast; but do business round these parts; and I've mixed with bad men in bad places. and I've never laid down, but I've made some of them do it." He lit a cigar with self-satisfed air.

SENTENCED $ TIMES TOO|E
APPEARS PLEASED AT SMALL
 CHANGE FOR LIFE.
Court Officers Believe End Has Come to a Most Remarkable Instance
 of the Laws Delay.

Austin, Tex, July 20.-The famous Burrell Oates case at Dallas has been advanced another step toward a final decision. Oates Is greatly pleased over the action which the state court of criminal appeals has just taken in affirming the death penalty imposed by the trial court. After the laws long delay in finally convicting him of a murder, he confessed. All that now stands between Oates and the gallows is the remote possibility that the court of criminal appeals may grant the ap- plcation that Is to be made for re- hearing.
 Oates, who Is a negro, is charged with numbering Sol Oronoff, mer- chant of Dallas, on the night of Mo- vember 3. 1904. Upon his arrest he confessed, but under the law he could not be sentenced unless convicted on trial. He was tried and convicted and sentenced to be hanged, but the yer dict was set aside on the ground of technical errors in the trial.
 Six times he was tried and convict ed. Each time he was sentenced to be hanged Twice he was granted new trial. Twice the convictions were set aside by the court of criminal ap- peals on technical grounds. The sus- pense wore on him so that he ap- pealed several times to the trial court to be hanged.

out of sight. He don't know a gun from a hole in the ground" one of them exclaimed heatedly.
 The others concurred.
 "This is a deadly tiresome ride. Cant we get up little excitement. and make him the goat?" another asked, eager for some excitement.
 They sat in thought for few mo- ments, then a young member of the group spoke up i've got it! We ought to make a regular jack of him to pay him for that hot air, and take some of the swelling out of him. What do you say to this? One of you go back and fix up kinda rough. you know, some old duds, get gun, and while the trains going slow up the ridge, come in and hold the bunch up!"
 Brownell. an engineer, was to be the robber, because he was carrying rough suit of clothes for mountain work
 The train stopped at watering sta- ton, then began the long hard pull over the Ridge.
 In the smoker all were reading earnestly except Blake who was look ing out the window.
 Suddenly door opened and slammed, and a masked figure stood before them.
 Hands zup!" rang out, sharply in- tonated
 Every pair of hands went meekly up; Blake's face was picture of sur prise
 The masked figure came along to each one, and obediently they yielded up their worldly goods, AS the rob- Der passed in front of Blake, he, too. gave up his cash.
 LAW, come on there Fat" one of the men sang out; ''he's bad un-- give it to him!"
 A roar of laughter went up. Brownell slipped of his mask, expos ing a grin that went from ear to ear.
 "Shut down on the hot air, Beef" he said "and don't come putting in on the conversation of gentlemen unless you're asked.'
 Blake was staring out of the win dow; he turned, and in flash he stood in the aisle, gimlet-eyed and grim. holding in his hand black big Colt-not the toy in his case. Quick! hand over that mon," his words sig zled.
 "T want that mon-it's my joke, now! or"
 Brownell started at him with an angry oath. The gun spat at him, and the tall figure collapsed into seat AS if in answer ahead and back of the smoker, echoed sharp reports.
 Blake stopped and rifed Brownell's pockets, and then one by one he went to the dazed, dumbfounded men.
 The train was at standstill
 Blake passed at the end of the car. That was clever, and I went you one better. I'm the real thing. The next time you meet little insignificant cuss like me who wants to entertain you with few yarns-take off your hats," He vanished.
 When out of the confusion came or der, and a doctor had brought Brow nell around and dressed the slight wound on his shoulder, the silent group of men took notes and thought together
 "It's a regular planned hold-up; they had man in each car When they reached a certain spot, that was to be the signal, that was why Blake was rubbering out of the window, and threw the bluff that he was scart; but when he got there-he-well, you know" the young fellow said. mourn fully.
