THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , MARCH 24 , 1808. I FROM THE FARTHER WEST CASSIDY IS A BAD MAN Loader of the Robbers' Boost Gang and His Adventures. TERROR TO MEN OF THREE STATES lr for nn Alliance of the CJor- crnnrM ThpViitimt In "Hutch" CIIHH | < I ) ' Knr HavliiK Klin "Butch" Cassldy la n bid man. He Is the -worst man In four states. These elates arc Utah , Colorado , Idaho and Wyoming , and when the four governors mot In secret con clave last week It was for the purpose of de ciding upon a plan of campaign against the roost notcrtous outlaw the west has ever had to cooo with. The achievements of JCPQO James and his followers pale Into tawdry In significance before those of "Butch" Casaldy and his GOO. For several years In fact , ever since the Live Stock commission drove the Wyomlns rustlers out of business In 18D2 "Butch" has proven a thorn In the flcHh of the authorities of the four states In which ho carries on his operations. Ho has laughed the mllltla to scorn. Sheriffs and deputies ho regards with pity and contempt. He Is a power unto himself. * After the ordinary methods of hunting outlaws had been tried unsuccessfully It was decided that drastic means must bo cm- ployed , says a Salt Lake special to the Xew York. Herald. Howards have been repeatedly offcrod for "Butch" Cassldy , dead or olive , lyid after each fresh outbreak these rewards have Invariably been Increased. If all the offers which have been made from time ta tlmo hold goad , the slayer of "Butch , " should ho over live to claim his reward , would be entitled to upward of $20,000 In blood money , But the rewards have grown as futile as have the efforts of the mllltla and the deputj sheriffs. And that Is why Governor Wells of Utah , Governor Adams of Colorado , Gov ernor Richards of Wyoming and Govornoi Stcunenbcrc of Idaho got their heads to Bother to see what could bo done. Just whal the result of tholr conference was has noi been divulged. The governors believe In still hunt method and It Is thought that a largo number o experienced mountaineers and bendlt Hunt crs will be placed In the field , each elate t < furnish Its quota , and that the bandits WH bo rounded up In much the same fashloi that cattle are. Amy attempt to cxtermlnati this desperate band is certain- bo allcndei by blooJshed. , . . "Butch" and his bend are the outgrown of the rustlers ot sK jcars ago. Since thci they have broadened their field and Increase ! their numbers. It 1s no Idle boast to na ; that the leader of this notorious band ba COO men nt his beck and call. A COMPLETE ORGANIZATION. Their depredations are upcti a scale neve before reached Ir. the history of frontle crime. All the eruditions are favorable t them. They know every foot of Iho vaa territory In which they operate , taking 111 os It doei , Iho wildcat and most Iraccesslbl portions of four ( states. Every man ol : ther Is thoroughly familiar with frontier llfo 1 Its rougher phases. The forces are subdivided Into five bands each controlled by Ita own leader , with Gas sidy cs tbo supreme power. The outlaw now practically control the sparsely settle region extending from central \\jpmln noiithwcfltcrly through northwestern Colored and Utah , ami am.ost ] to the Arizona llm Marauding and murderous bands conuuc their raids without restraint. The thefts c llvo Ktc-ck run Inlo the millions. lUnchme uro murdered nul driven out of business , an the officers of the law are powerless. There arc five camps where the varlou bands make their headauartew. each c which Is well night Inaccessible except 1 the bandits themselves. Two of the moj ' " "Hole- 1 famous are "Robbers' Roost" and - the Wall. " The former Is In south centn Utah , ca the San Rafael river , a few mile west of the Gccen river. The latter Is hk den away somewhere In tbnt wild , mour talnous dl-Urlcl to the northwest of Caspe : The other camps are located In Teto basln.'noar the caalorn border of Idaho an south of the Snake river ; Powder Springs I southwestern Wyoming , near Colorado , an about fifty miles cast of the Utah line , an Brown's park , taking In the northwester corner of Colorado and the northeastern per tlon of Utah It is noi definitely known i Just which state the Brown's Park camp llei but It Is thought to bo across the line 1 Colorado. SITUATION DESPERATE. Never before In the record of border oul lawry have western states been forced t form an offensive and defensive alllanc against bandits such aa wns entered Into las week at Salt Lake City by the governors c these four slates. The sltuallon had becom desperate and a desperate remedy was n quired. The five camps form a chain extending fc hundreds of miles. Between these post communication Is maintained by a rcgula system of courtiers and cipher dlspatchci facilitating the co-oierallon of two or mor binds when an enterprise of inoro than usu : magnitude Is undertaken. Theao hands are composed of men of th moat reckless anil desperate character , Ion accustomed to deeds of crime. Whenever murder Is committed In the mountain stutter or a convict escapes from a penitentiary tl criminal decs to the nearest ot thcco retreat where ho Is safe from pursuit. In this mar nc\r the ranks of the bandits have been n crultcd up lo a strength conservatively est mated at 500. While each band has 1 chosen leader , "Butch" Casaldy cxcrclsi some sort of authority over the federation. Each of the strongholds Is both a rcnde : vous and a forlrcss absolutely imprcgnabl They can only bo reached by traversing de < and narrow gorges , scaling lofty and ruggi psaks and pcnctr.illng the wildest recesses the Rocky Mountains. In many places tl only trail lies over a narrow shelf ot roc cut by the bandits nlcng the face of precipice. Helm have been drilled , In which In ease nt close pursuit dynamite c : bo placed and the trail blown from the fa of the cliff Into the chasm below , thi baffling all pursuers , There are also mtny places where one ro ber can hold fifty olllccrs nt bay. and as t ] ' bandits are urmed to the teelh and will fig to the last man , any effort to oxtermtna vtbcni by the ordinary processes of law is r " "gardcd as u useless sacrifice of life. In the retreats are numerous caves , luxurious fitted up and containing aubslstenca sufflclei for months. Thus are the bandits enabled bet at dcflanco all the forces of law ai order. The outlaws roam the adjacent country ai smaller settlements without molestatlo Many settlers purchase Immunity by cxten Ing assistance lu various ways , anj the reNe No soap can be any better than an absolutely pure soap.

N i l W.C.T.U. bcrs even attend country dances and other functions , occasionally "shooting up" the town or indulging In other forms ot recrea tion. It Is only when closely pursued by officer ! of the law that they retire to their mountain retreats. "BUTCH" IS A KILLER. "Hutch" Cansldy , however , by reason of the orlco upon hla head , considers the higher altlludo more conducive lo his health and seldom ventures Into the towns , unless ho Is making a raid or la surrounded by a band of his trusty men , In which case he never fears molestation , As a killer ho has earned a reputation during the last ten years prob ably equalled In the went only by that of "Wild Ulll" Hlckok , peace to his ashes. Few men who know him would care to rouse bin Ire , for , although a men ot wonder ful nerve , unlike most men of his class , ho 1 possessed of a fearful temper. Sometimes It gets beyond Ma control , and then he throws all caution lo Ihe wind and becomes utterly reckless. About four years ago ho waa tliot at from ambuflh near Qrecn River by a cowboy known as "Hackey" Hughes , whose only ob ject was to secure the reward offered by Iho state authorities of Utah. The bullet pierced the lobe of hln ear , and the blood streaming down his face acted upon Cassldy as a red flag might to a maddened bull. With a howl of rage he turned his horse just as another bullet passed through Ihe rim of his sombrero. A puff ot smoke frccn a clump of bushes showed where Iho assae-iln was concealed. For picturesque profanity "Hutch" Capsldy hasn't his equal In tin- states , and on that occasion ho Is said to have fairly surpassed himself. Ripping oul a string of oaths thai would reach from Dan to Hcorsheba ho Jumped from his Uorse and dodged behind n bowlder. Ho waited for twenty minutes , and then the cowboy ohot the outlaw's horse , which had been grazing In the open. That was more than "Hutch" could staaid. Throwing caution to Iho winds he ran loward Iho clump of biiftico , with a pistol In each haud barking al every slen. Hut Hughis , considering dlscrelion the bel ter part of valor , had Jumped on his horse nnd succeeded In making good his escape. Hut the \Indlctlvo nature of "Hutch" Cas sldy orverted Itself. He had recognized til * assillaof , nnd every member of the band re ceived Instrucllons lo bo on Ihe walch foi him. Hughes loft the Green River counlry and H was noi utilll six months later trial lit was localed , on Ihe north fork of the Powdei elver , up In Wycrnlng. t THE END OF HUGIinS. t Cassldy was notified , and with a dozer picked men ho reached the ranch when Hughes was working. H was during thi t spring roundup. The two men met face Ic face. Hughes knew what was coming , ani > pulled his gun. Hut ho waan't quick enough 1 Cassldy's plslol cracked first , and the cow1' boy dropped from his saddle with a bullel through hla right eye. "That's the way I serve any d d skunl that tries to shoot mo in the back , " re marked Cassldy. "If any of his friends wan to take up the quarrel , I'm ready. " Hut If the dead cowboy hid any frlendi they failed lo icspond. "Hutch" Cnssld ] was well known , and it wasn't safe lo plcl quarrels with him. So ho rode away will lib escort , cursing the cowboys for a pack o r cowardly coyotes. r Cattle stealing to the chief source of In o come to Cassldy and his followers. Om t company alone In central Utah has lost " ,00 hold during the last two years , worth at tin present prices $80,000. These were drlvei n through Colorado and Into New Mexico. I n Is In driving these stolen cattle from om stale lo another and out of the country lha Ihclr tiyelem of co-operation Is beneficial. However , any operation thai promlsca ad a venluro nnd flr.unclal reward Is never over J looked. Trains ore hold up , express com g panics and banks are robbed , and oven In o dividual when known to have money li their possession , are relieved of their posses t slons In true road ) agent style. , f There are women among these outlaws n lee , who rldo wllh Ihem on their wild foray and lake prida in tholr association wit Ihcso bold and daring freebooters. Eve ; "Calamity Jane , " In the old daya of her as soclatloa wllh "Dcndwood Dick , " could no surpass these picturesque females In thcl wild career. About a year ago "Hutch" Cassldy an "Bill" Ferguson , one of his trusled lleulcn anls , dashed Into the town of Price In broa daylight , held up the paymaster of the coa company and rode off with $8,000 before th crowd of bystanders realized what had hap pened. This Is but a sample exploit. 'Bank ' robberies are but side Issues wit' them ; merely Incidental to their grand chle occupation ot cattle stealing. If a vlctlr resists or an officer pursues murder Is re garded as a professional duty , to bo cheer fully performed , but they are not given t wanlon slaughter. -several Instances fool hardy officers who have Invaded their strong holds have ibeen disarmed , dismounted an sent home. FUX WITH THE DEPUTIES. An Instance of this kind occurred just afte the raid on 'the coal company at Price. Twi deputies traced Cassldy and Ferguson to th lair at "Robbers' Roost. " They were full ; twenty-four hours behind , and their approach preach was known long 'before they arrlvei at the narrow trail leading up Into th rendezvous. Cassldy was In a jovial mood and ho conceived that It woud bo more fui to capture the deputies and make sport o them than to kill them. So he acted ac cordlngly. The deputies were about half way up th trail when , just at a bend around n shar ; point of rocks , they heard the sharp com manil , MHands up ! " Half a dozen guns wore staring them I the face not twenty paces away. Th deputies realized thai noi lo obey mean Budden death. Up went Ihelr hands. Gas sidy stepped up to them , roaring wit laughter. "You're a couple of flno dubs to come an catch peaceable citizens , ain't you ? " h cried. "Gimme your guns. Here , Buck , calling to one of Ills men , "search thea tendcrfcot. and If they've got any tobacc jou can keep It. " The outcome ot It was that the dcputlei relieved of everything but their clothlnj were bound hand and foot to their horse conducted lo Ihe foot of the pass and sei about their business. To add to their dli comlHuro a rudely scrawled note was plnnc on the breast ot each , which read : WH AUB DEPUTY SHERIFFS. Sent Out to Capture Dutch Cassldy and His Gang.

A Kood many wives are unhappy because their husb.incls are not as devoted to them as they uspd lo be. Husbands often wonder why their wives are not as atlractive as they once svere. There is one class of dbeases that nnkes more trouble between husbands and wives that turns more happy , lie-ht-lieartcd , young bi ides into sour , disagreeable women than all else put together. Nearly always when a happy young wife begins lo be fretful and fault finding , when she commences to go ' down hill in health and appearance she has some of the complaints fa miliarly called "female diseases" . There is something wrong In the delicate organs that make her a woman. McElree's Wine of Cardul. - . , is made to keep those organs in perfect condition. When they are right a woman is seldom sick. She will live as long as nature Intended she should. If husbands would keep their wivei supplied with this wonder ful medicine it would often nuke a great difference with their homes. It will keep their wives happy , contented , affectionate , attractive. Wine of Cardui can be bought at any drug store , and women can take it in tiie privacy of their own homes. n , Terns , Nov 15th , 1807.
