II am not the man." I expostulated.
land the warrant has been stolen
from my possession-and you are the
man. Harvey Logan. whose apprehcn-
sion it directs!"
OF course. my words were received
with a sheer.
ut is time this ! zee ended" said
Logan. drawing his pistol. and, adding.
with a stern glance at the host. I've

hands. Meanwhile. Mr.. Harvey Lo-

tapping his revolver in a significant
manner.
The landlord brought some rope.
and-I was securely. bound.
Now bring his HORSE ordered Lo.
gan.
The order was obeycd. end I was
my feet were fastened by IL stout cord
passed under the animals body.
My captor next relieved me of my
money. He paid the landlords bill
and pocketed the balance. Mounting
his own stecd, which stood at the door,
and taking mine by the rein. he hur.
ried off at a brisk trot up the road.
\ little later. after my eyes had
been securely bandaged. so that my
chance OF taking bearings was pre-.
vented, ! left it to Logan to speak
first.
Don't YOU think it a little cheeky"
he finally asked, for you to come out
here in the Hole.in.the-wall country
and beard the lion in hi den"
But for the unfair advantage you
took of me-" I replied, with irritation.
II don't think you'd have much to
boast Of"
Unfair advantage" he returned,
with a laugh. there's nothing unfair
in a game like this. l saw you enter
the house and at ono spotted you
as a detective. This morning. seeing
where YOU hung your coat, l ventured
on q little private investigation, result
ing in YOU being my prisoner instead
Of l being yours. However. have no
fear, you will only be kept under close
guard for the prcsent-untl myself
country Is getting too .warm-have
completed our arrangements for MAXI
ing a getaway. After we've made. q.
fair start you'll be sent your way re.
joicing, or otherwise according to
how you behave yourself"
I was conducted to Logan's strong
hold in a particular section Of the
"Hole-in-the.wall," where / remained
for a week.
When I regained my liebrty, the
man WANTED had vanished as com.
plctclH- as if the earth had suddenly
opened and swallowed him. ! never
succeeded in capturing him.
AS I have said. it remained for a
couple Of Tennessee boys to nab the
notorious Logan during hi wanderings
to Knoxville.
Being Of a sporting disposition, he
entered a pool game with a couple of
men with whom he was playing at
tackled him and tried to get the money.
They beat him with a billiard cue and
he used a gun on them.
About that time Logan was crazy
with the thought of arrest and i'm
prisonment. and when he saw all that
good money slipping away from him.
he began to get the best Of the fight.
FINALLY. two big policemen. who had
been attracted by the noise Of the
fight, came In and tried to arrest him.
Logan shot both policemen. made
his escape from the place by the rear
door, and landed in a creek. He was
half dead from the beating he had re-
ceired, but he was game, and deter.
mined to get away.
Logan knew they would have dogs
on his trail within an hour. and. de-
spite the freezing temperature, he
walked in the creek bed for several
miles in order to throw the dogs Of
the scent.
Then going east. he tried to make
a getaway. All the country was watch
ing for him, however. and at Jefferson
City. Tenn. a posse. led by the boys
! have mentioned, found Logan hid
ing in a raytne.
McElveen-both of whom later be.
came we'll known baseball profession
als--were in front of the other MEM
bers Of the posse.
Before their fellow townsmen knew
what was happening, they had the
drop on Logan, who was numb from
the cold, suffering from injuries re-
ceived in. the fight. and without am
munitfon for his revolver.
About $4,000 of the $50. 1000 stolen
from the express company in the train
robbery was found in Logan's suit case
In a railway station.
That ended the hunt for Logan, but
1T didn't end LoEan's career. He was
put in Jail at Knoxville. and he and
his friends spent thousands and thou
sands of dollars TO effect his release. !.
After many court procedures. he
was found guilty of about 4 half dozen
charxes-shooting officers. with intent
to kill and bringing stolen money into
the state being among them-and was
sentenced to. nin%ety-nine years in. the
pcnjtentiary.
It looked pretty bad for Loe.n. but
he kept on thinking and planning. He
appealed to another court. :. /.
No one knew Just how it happened.
but n morning Logan had broken
Jail at Knoxville. and was said to be
ION his way to Chicago. OF course, no
one. know which a. he was heading:
but he was on his way. at any rate.
1t appears he secured q long piece
Of wire which he thrust through the
bars Of his cage and lamoeA. 9 shoe
box In which the jail guard kept his
revolver.
With the pistol hidden in his clothes
Logan called the guard and asked him
Q 2 drink OF water. The guard COM
piled. ana handed the tin Of water
throush the bars Of the cage.
Logan caught the guards hand and
covered. him with the pistol. -
Before. the gaard Wa aware. -Loxan
had tied him 20 the grating Of M
cell. Then Logan got the jaiier,s KEYS
and went out the. back door Of the
5ai! and into the sherif's stable in the
rear.
Securing that omcer's favorite mare.
Logan soon was on hfs way to the
hills. He had z GOOD start and. never
was heaasd. TaAre wa . lot Of usty
