The Bert CAn,y band OF outlaws
was ;hs IAst Organized gang to OPP
eraps IN Oklahoma. Casey was an In
human cunning, treacherous leader,
who killed even his own men if they
chanced TO oppose his plans His
band, all told, numbered two dozen
or more men scattered throughout
old Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
All owed allegiance to Casey and were
expected to report for instant duty
when called. Finally he met death
with his boots on, killed by one or
his own men.
1t was association with this outlaw
leader that got Mort Perkins Mis-
souri, boy, into trouble. Perkins came
from well-to-do Missouri family, OF
near Kansas City. OF brilliant nina,
he was entirely unframed and unedu-
Gated, and it, was not "A difficult mat
ter for him to drift from minor often
ces around Kansas City to more seri-
Gus crimes in the territories, and fin
ally to join the Bert Casey band dur
ing the nineties.
Protection Easy
1t was an easy thing for an outlaw
to get protection in the territories at
that time. There was chain Of
"holdout' places encircling much of
old Oklahoma territory and no two or
them more than days or nights
ride apart. From the Chickasaw
country on Red river this chain
extended east and north through the
Seminole country, across the Pawnee
and Ponca reservations west into old
Woods county south through the Glass
mountains and down through Custer
county and across the Wichita noun
tains to the starting place in the
Chickasaw country. Many an outlaw
has made this round, many a time,
stealing horses and cattle at will, ron
bing banks, committing murder IL
necessary, and always sure of safe
retreat at any one Of these places. 4
map, showing all OF these places, was
taken off a horse thief, when cap
tured, and was turned over to United
States Attorney Horace Speed.
This route was known to Mort Perk-
ins, Bert Casey Fred Hudson, Bud
Sims, Ben Crayens and hundreds of
others who followed the outlaw pro-
fession at that time. 1t was an easy
matter to steal horses in almost any
section of the territories and run them
porthward ut night through this line
of "holdouts." And it was profit
able business, too, for there were
''ranchmen" and livery stable men, in
Southern Kansas who had standing
offer Of from $40 to $40 each for good
horses, brought to them, and no ques
tons were ever asked. II q "ranch
man" found a strange horse or even
sig of them in his pastures, he asked
no questions and made no comments.
he knew that some OF the gang had
left them there.
This was the condition that al,
tracted Mort Perkins, when he came
to Oklahoma during the early nine
ties. 1t was fun for such young fel
lows to be chased by officers and even
to engage in a battle with them oc
casionally-the odds were always witt

places always open TO receive them

TWO DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES
IN EIGHTH DISTRICT

Oklahoma City, July 12.-Zack A.
Harris Blackwell, will oppose C. II.
Hyde OF Alva for the democratic
nomination for congress in the

name of Harris on the ballot in the
primary August 3.
Until the order of the court was

homesteaders showed fight and in the
melee young Ray Beenblossom was
killed. The bandit made their escape
into the Chickasha country.
Within the next few days the gang

gold watch, small, inexpensive affair
that the cattleman had borrowed from
his daughter before starting on the
