"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

order.

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 :

began this morning at > Elk oed Park , N . J. ,
promises to bo a very exciting land clcao one
toward Its finish , 'which may not bo reached
until Friday.
Of the 207 entries , ten fatleJ to appear to

the greatest Interest In I he work done bv
IMra. William 1' . Shattuck ot Minneapolis.
She came from the west with her husband ,
ho Is also entered In the contest. She
Hied her first four birds very cleverly , but
or fifth got away from her nfter "alttlng. "
he also missed her seventh and eighth birds
nd therefore her chances ot getting Into
: io first money In the big event arc almost
opeless.
Captain Jack Brewer , the world's champion
Ing shot , had hard luck on his ninth bird.
IB hit It hard with both .barrels and It
Iropped as If It was stiff and dead. Drew or
urned his 1nck to the traps firmly believing
hat the bird was dead , but to ha ! astonish-
lent It rose again and then fell dead about
en yards beyond the .wire.
At I o'clock In the afternoon only n'ne '
Irds had been shot nt by each contestant.
Vt that time twucty-nlne men had straight
cores of nine each.
Just 100 men managed to shoot at Iticlr
welfth bird before the light failed , and the
hoot was postpned until tomorrow morning
iVhcn the adjournment was announced scvon-
een tncn out of the 100 atood straight with

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.
