Colo. , Jan. 'M. ( Special to Tue
BEK. ] The general reading oublio will
readily recall the murder some months since
of Uanchrann Weaver at the hands of the
Snyder-Jacknon band of stock thieves ,
operating In the Clark's Fork country on Iho
northwestern Wyoming and southwestern
Montana border * , Mr. Weaver being nt the
tlmo of bis tragic death in pursuit of the
thieves , with Iho hope of recovering some
horses they hod stolen from him.
From Thomai Paddock , a huntorof the
Owl mountains In Wyoming , a late Denver
visitor , TUB BKH correspondent has received
considerable Information about this gani : of
range thieves nnd desperados. The bandits ,
savs Mi' . Paddock , after killing Weaver ,
took refuge In the Black Tail basin In the
nUdst of the Owl mountains n basin which
is tbo habitual haunt and headquarters of
these robbers , lu this basin the gang still is
and will bo nil winter , ns late heavy snow
tails have blocked up Iho surrounding moun
tain passes , thus snowing the thieves lu until
next spring.
The Black Tall basin , dorlvlng Us name
from the largo numbers of black tall deer
lound there , Is located on the sources of the
Wood river , a stream flowing Inlo the Blir
Horn. The basin Is both deep and wide , and
on Its abundant pasturage tbo bandits are
wintering between UO and 400 head of stolen
horses and a few sto'cn ' cuttle , the latter
being for table beef purposes only.
. These outlaws have built m the basin a
number of comfortable log dwelling houses
and are said to have several of tbo softer
and fairer sex with them to mitigate the Irk-
s'omcn'ess of their mountain winter life.
vTho Ratip numbers between II ft con and
txvonty riders. Its captain is a young follow
N named Stiydcr. This precocious criminal Is
qnly Ul years of ace. ; IIo was born and bred
on the Crow Indian reservation , near the
bunks of thoClark's ForK" nnd Is half Crow ,
Uls mother bolug a full blood squaw of tbat
tribe , a tact to which Suydor owes his local
sobriquet of "Tho Crow Kid. " Snyder Is
cunning , fnarlcss and actlvo , and is u born
loader of men. For bis right baud man
Snyder has a man named JucUson who is n
' brother of "Tlton" Jackson , the orst famous
bandit lender of the Tlton mountains on tbo
Wyoming and Idaho borders. These
brothers.in fraternity and crlmo are sous ot
old Abnc'r Jackson , once noted among tbo
"moonshiners" of the Tennessee mountains.
' In the Black Tall basin gang JacKson is
known familiarly as "Old Silver Tip , " from
n real or fancied resemblance to the silver
Up bear family , JacKsou being ot a low
stature and massive frame and wearing
shaciry masses of blacK balr and beard ,
plentifully flocked , with crav , or silver.
The most ferocious aud sanguinary of the
gang is a follow whoso only name Is ' 'Hod. "
This man is described as of small mental
capacity , but of giant stature urn ! strength.
Ho loves tbo sbcddlne ot blood , and brought
with him to the land the boast of having
already slain four men. "Hea" Is popularly
thought to bo the man who really slow
Ranchman Weaver.
Mr. Paddock thinks that with tbo molting
of the mountain snows In thu coming spring
tbo ranchmen of the concerned Wyoming
and Montana borders , who are thoroughly
exasperated over the murder \Voaver , will
march on masse Into tbo Black Tall basin
and kill the bandits in their mountain lair.
MAY HAVE A NEW TRACK.

"It all depends on what tbo supreme court
ays , " replied Nat Brown when asked about
the report , tbjit a number of thoihorsomon of
tbe city intended to build a. milo track and
.establish a driving park on tbo East Omaha
Vbottoms ,
1 "There is such n move on foot , " ho con
tinued , "and if the supreme court decides
that the laud is in Nebraska , tha plan will
undoubtedly bo carried out If tbo track is
built wo will Ret tbo state fair
for ton years and the Nebraska
Brooders' meetings for flvo years.
The necessary grounds to accommodate tbom
Is the only thing needed In order to got
thoni. I bavo tulkcd with several of the
members of both societies and they are
favorably disposed , as the state fair stays at
Lincoln only two years longer and the
breeders are now in a row over a location.
The grounds are cos } ' of access and the
.motor company and railroads would run
straight to Iho gates. "
"What Is to become of the Council Bluffs
track } "
"That belongs to the brldgo line motor
company. They got several Omaha men to
take stock In'tho concern , but none of It was
paid up. Tbo park Is handicapped by
the Stewart management and wo wouldn't
pay up as long as ho bad contra
Tbat'muda a row and wo have all pulled ou
and loft them to go It ulona. Omaha ough
-to have a good track of har own. The Driv
ing Park assocIati n'B now track is too tar
out , and I don't believe it will over pay. It
Is a natural amphitheater and folks can
stand on tbo hills outside and see tbe races
for two miles. Graded tracks llko tbat sel
dom pay. It takes a constant outlay for ro-
palra.llko a railroad grade. If East Omaba
Is In Nebraska , It will soon have a track
whore there will bo some tall racing meet
ings , and folks will come mauy a inllo to see
ou.o pretty purses won. "
Athliitlu Ulult Notes.
i The highest record made for pole vaulting
was made last wceit by Gus Drexel , who
cleared the nlno foot mark neatly.
There Is a good deal of sprinting dona on
the running track. Many of the heavy
weights are reducing their flesh by dally
Jog .
Captain Nicholas aud his tug-of-war team
are away out of sight. They train daily and
claim to bo ublo to pull any team in Ne
braska.
Tbo now billiard and card rooms are
nearly always crowded and the enlargement
of tbo club house Is greatly appreciated by
tbu members.
Last Friday forenoon Captain Alford , tbo
well known swordsman and Dr. Doipesohor ,
bad a bout for solontitla points , nud 'the cap
tain won. Then President Ames nnd the
oaptaln tooK their places on tbo fencing
board and went ut it for blood. Tbo bout
was live points , and tbo club president hold
bis own and won the bout much to tbo en
joy mcnt o ; the members present. The score
stood : Amos , ( i ; Alford , 1.
Tbo next club night will bo on February
13 , and the directors promise a great show for
tbo members.
On tbo evening of February 20 thorn will

oTitn Hue. ] It developed today tbat John
M. Tuurston of Omaha Is being uryed by his
'rlcnds ta enter tbe race for ttio republican
vice presidential nomination.
Mr. Thbrston's friends qutotly discussed
.ho matter at the Grand P.icillo todav ,
iv hero the Union Pnclilc lawyer is stopping
on business. Mr. Tburston was suon at
noon. Ho was interrupted in the midst of
an Important conference with some business
rlonds and baa but Ilttlo time to tain.
"fso , I am not a can did a to for the vice
presidential nomination in the ssnsc ot soak-
ng that honor , " hu said , "but many ot my
'rionds have boon kind enough to suggest
hat I might bo acceptable to the republi
cans of the country. I might say , as did old
ludgo Poland of Vermont onoo when ho wns
suggested ns a candidate : 'You might
do worse ; aim I know you
vlll. ' Tha ofllco Is n great
ono and no man would hcs'llnta
.o accept. But I haven't inado any efforts to
iccuro the nomination. I cannot , of course ,
prevent my friends from putting forward my
name 'I
The announcement that Mr. Thurston was
h the race for the vice presidency created
something ot a sensation around the Grand
. 'aclftu hotol. Mr. Thurston it v/ell known
u Chicago and spends a goad dual of his
, imo hero os'attorney for the Union Pacllio
Railway company , and ho is well liked.
"Thurston's candidacy has a Blalno
lavor. to it1 said n repub
lican leader at the Grand Pa
cific , "Tburston Is a Blalno man , out and out
Df course , ho cannot secure the vice presi
dency If Harrison is named , both men being
from the west. Thurston always talus for
Blalno , aud is well thought of by the Blaine
man in tbo west. Ho is a champion of the
Maitid man's rocipioctty idea always. Tha
fact that Mr. Thurston has long been Iden
tified with. the Union , Pacllio and otbor big
corporations will , I think , bavo the effect of
retarding his candidacy . "

Svx AXTOVIO , TOY. , Jim. St ) . A squad of
Texas rangers under Sergeant Robinson ,
part of the forced operating In the vicinity of
Politico Blanco ranch , ran across a party of
flvo or six strange Mexicans yesterday. Tno
Mexicans refused to hold comtuunlcallou
with the rangers , and Hod after Jlrlne a vol-
loy. The rangers returned the llro , but all
the Mexicans escaped , though it Is bcllevcu
some of them were hurt.
A Mexican prisoner in the custody of the
rangers throws some light on the case of
Colonel Hernandez , the Mexican olllcer
under sentence of death at Monterey for
alleged conspiracy with ( jarza. The pris
oner has hitberto refused to talk , but being
shown a Spanish newspaper containing an
account of the sentence of Hernandez , be
came indignant at Diaz and the Mexican
government. Ho admit loci having been
with Garza when tub latter llrst crossed
the river and threatened Mlor. Ho
declared nt that time Garza'si strength
was 200 men , nnd when Hernandez met thorn
the latter had only llfty men ; that it would
have been madness for Hernandez to have
urged a battla with Garza , and that Hernan
dez was In nowise connected with the revo
lution. The prisoner believes Horuandc/'s
sentence was brought about by General Gur-
ciu.commander of tbo armyin , northern Mex
ice , for personal reasons.
Captain John G. Bourko. who commanded
the troops in the fight with the revolu
tionists at Retinal , today says the country U
still full of Gar/a's followers In bands of fou , '
or flvo disguised. If the troops were witb
drawn the movement would undoubtedly
start afresh.
