a startlingly low percentage Of IN.

According to police records not more
than twenty-six deaths have been re-

Since his latest train holdup, Car

the only clue to his possible where

Carlisle, singIe-handed. for he al

in front OF the passengers and mildly
asked them to contribute. A fort
night later he relieved passengers on
a Union Pacific train near Rawlins
and for the latter robbery he was
caught and given a life sentence in
the Rawlins State Prison. He was
liable to execution, train robbery in
this State being a capital offense, but
that danger appeared to give him no
concern when he was arrested. for he
declared that only a ''whim'' had ac-
tuated him in his activities.
