The lesser actors could not avoid
basking In the light of Johnson's repu-
tation. In particular Carr was unable
to abstain from letting 1t become
known that it was he who had check
mated Killion and Paradise in their
attempt to play habeas corpus
stunt" The news reached Killion's
ears. He brooded over it all the time
that he was in prison, and, when he
came out, he resolved to be revenged
on Carr.
However, he did not take any i'm
mediate steps toward this end. Cir
cumstances would have to be propi-
tious. The bad man" is always a
coward unless crazed by drink. When
Killion was crazed enough to be reck-
less, and Carr happened to be in the
vicinity, there would be the conjunc-
ton of circumstances. That conjunc-
ton occurred.
Killion had a notorious record. He
had run a gambling house in Caney
for several years, had been many
times in the county jail. and had been
implicated in a number of shooting
ARRAYS, though mostly for the purpose
of acquiring a reputation as a desper-
ado than for killing. Soon after his
release from the penitentiary he was
arrested by Carr upon the streets OF
Caney for drunkenness, and was pa
rolled by the judge. killion was not
quite drunk enough to screw himself
up to the point Of murder, but he
threatened Carr.

Carr did not reply, but took killion
to the police station.
A few days later Carr, while ma
king his rounds, discovered that
poker game was in course of progress
in a certain building. and, going in,
took possession Of the chips and otf er
paraphernalia. He did not know at
the time who was the owner OF the
place, but discovered subsequently
that it was Killion. This act enrageo

Carr returned the fire, but he was
too badly wounded to take aim. he
fell to the sidewalk, when k1lllon

He then took the marshaIs club and

Carr died thirty minutes later. but

The death of Carr Infatuated the
town, for the dead man, who had been
a carpenter by trade, bore a reputa-
ton as quiet, peaceable citizen, and
was universally popular. He left a
widow and several children. Killion,
who had escaped to his sisters house,
was tracked there, and the house was
surrounded by a mob, which threat

There was much talk of lynching him,
but no concerted action was taken.
At the trial it developed that Kill

The jury was out only ten minutes,
and brought in a verdict of guilty of

for life.
That was the first death to arise out
of the Monte Carlo raid. Others were

! the locality and found the stone still
in its new position; and it was then
that his fertile brain conceived the
idea OF setting up a gambling estab-
lishment upon this No Mans Land
! that he had created.
Since Kansas is a prohibition state,
/ and the sale of liquor was forbidden
in what was then Indian Territory,
! the three outlaws saw a fine oppor-
tunity of making a fortune in quick
and not illegitimate manner by sell
ing Whiskey on the tract of land over
which they claimed dominion. There
was no doubt that customers would
flock from far and near on either side
Of the border Accordingly. in the
ce2ter of the road they built house
sixty feet long by ten feet wide, with
a gambling den at one end and a
saloon at the other, being financed
in their enterprise by two men who
preferred to take a share Of the prof
its and to remain in the background.
This extraordinary road-house
speedily became a hourishing center
of crime Drink was sold freely to
whites, negroes and Indians alike, and
riot, robbery and murder were en-
acted there. The authorities were
quite helpless They got as far as
the boundary on either side, and then
looked on helplessly, while King
Lewis, as he was designated, did a
roaring business under their noses.
Undoubtedly Lewis had hit upon a
paying scheme His kingdom pro-
duced revenue, in proportion to its
size, greater than that Of any other
kingdom on earth. Upon the wall
federal license to sell liquor was
prominently displayed, and, armed
with this weapon and not amenable,
apparently, to the laws Of either the
Territory or Kansas, he seemed to
stand we'll within his rights. At the
station at Caney, Kansas, one mile
away, stood long lines of conveyances
waiting for the nobility who came on
every train to pay their respects to
his majesty. The highways were
filled with men hurrying to court, and
with others struggling back. Drunken
men lay comfortably asleep in their
tracks all along the roads. 1t needed
Napoleon to evolve q strategy
strong enough to pull King Lewis
from his throne.
The gambling outlay was the most
complete in the West. Games that
had passed from memory as the cid"
moved westward were resurrected
from unhallowed graves. The roulette
ball clicked its way round the wheel
increasingly, night and day. Mean
while, on one side of the line stood
Sheriff Paxton Of Montgomery county,
Kansas. with his retainers, and, on
the other, Deputy Marshal Walker of
the Territory. They looked at each
other across their twelve feet of No
Mans Land and licked their dry lips
as they heard corks popping. II they
did not, their henchmen did. They
listened, and the roulette ball spun
merrily, and the brazen dollars
clicked. Nobody paid the least at
tention to the outcast minions of the
law. Their only satisfaction lay In
nabbing those who strayed within
their own realms. An Indian, who
had just managed to get rid Of his
pension money, would stumble out Of
the door, lose his steering powers,
and cross into his territory. The
