His maxim In trade was this: Anything
thut can be bought for less than the rost jit
production, that is not perishable and that
Is an article In general use, is worth buying
and holding. An anecdote will Illustrate
this. He once bought a lot of bar steel nt
time when thtre wns no manufacturing
In California. Nobody wanted It at I cent
a pound. For four years he stored It In hlj
back yard uuder old sails; but when quartl
was at last reached everybody wanted steel,
and he sold the major part of It at a dollar
pound and his dogged patience had Its
reward. He ttfed to say that nothing could
beat him waiting except tho Catholic
church.
linn m llh tin- Hoe,
During nH first year of self-support ho
earned $S4, his board and clothing being In
cluded, and saved eery cent of It. Tho
youth fathered tho man. Mr. Huntington
has told us so:
"At tho end of that year I was as mush a
capitalist as I havo ever been since. Start
two young men upon tho road of llfo. If
ono earns $f tho first year and saves $J0
of It, and the other, earning tho winio
amount, saves nothing, It bceins an easy
problem to figure out the probable difference
at the end of twenty years. Nothing U
more hurprlslng than the result, for while In
tho second Instance the twenty years will
havo produced no growth, In the other tho
habit of economy and of saving the pen
nies becomes the most finely-tempered and
useful tool In his possession and tho
growing capital Is a hervant which from a
child grows Into a giant for his masters
advancement.
Tho great secret of success Ih laying
by a nest egg and adding to your little
store, never ependlng more than you mako
and being strictly economical.
A young man does not want to bother
over what rumor says about him. I havo
never cared a cent what any human being
thought or said about me or my action, so
long as I wis satisfied. It was my Idea
that n man'H business should be his llrst
thought. It has alwnys been mine. In
consequence, I supposo there are a great
many things about which 1 know less than
the average man, but, on the other hand,
I am very certain that there Is nobody
who known any more nboul my own busi
ness! than I do myself. I never leave my
game to play another fellow's. A great
deal of sorrow has been caused by men
who Insisted on meddling with a game
about which tbey know nothing.
"Finally, false pride is an enormous ob
stacle. I know young men In New York
City who would not carry a trunk along
Fifth avenue for all the frontage they
could pass, bocauso they would be afraid
they might meet sme girl that they knew."
"The Mini with the Hoe."
Although devoted to business Mr. Hunt
ington found tlmo to read books. He was
very fond of good books and had a largo
library whoso volumes were bound with
extraordinarily handsome covers. Strangely
enough, poetry appealed strongly to this
practical man of affairs. Ho always kept
at his desk n set of George Crabbe's poems
and In his moments of relaxation he would
draw tho book from his desk and run
over It. It was Huntington who, under
the nom do plumo of "Responsibility,"
offered through the New York Sun, lust
year, prizes amounting to $700 for one or
more poeins expressing a truer Industrial
phllosphy than Is contained In Markham's
"Man with the Hoe." His letter accom
panying the offer, published In tho Sun
nt that time, sharply criticised Mark
ham's Idea of a workingmnn. Ho wrote:
"Hither the 'Man with the Hoe' la a typa
of tho great mass of thoso who use fanning
Implements for a living, or else he Is nn
exception. If tho latter, then tho strength
of the sentiment uttered lies In the con
cealment of Its wenkness; nnd, If the for
mer, then the poem does wrong to a most
respectable and nblebodled multltudo of
cltlzcnR, every ono of whom ought to resent
Mr. Markham's attempt to throw 'tho
emptiness of ages In his face," nnd cer
tainly deserves better of tho poet than to
be called a 'monstrous thing' and 'brother
to tho ox.'
"What nbout the man wltlwut the hoc?
ho who can not get work, or having tho op
portunity to lubor, won't do It? There nro
thousands of young men In thlB country
who have been educated up to the point
whero the honest and healthful occuputlon
of their fathers In the field has becomo
distasteful to them, and In many cases
they havo grown to bo nshamed of It nnd
of their parents. In European countries.
particularly, there are multitudes of young
men, tho youngest sons of titled people, for
Instance, who have been taught that com
mon labor or work In the trades Is beneath
them. They must havo money, but they
rauBt cam It only In a 'genteel' way.
"Theso are the men without the hoc
the real brothers of tho ox. Who shall tell
their story? Who shall best sing the bit
ter song of the Incapablrs who walk tho

or l!t-hliiil the

A widespread and deeply rooted senti
ment exists among the gentry whoso avoca
tion It is to hold up overland trains and re
lieve passengers of their valuables, that It
Is neither safe nor profitable for them to
ply their trade alt.ng the lino of tho Union
Pacific railroad. 'J lie vigilance wim "
train robbers who have committed depreda
Hons on this Hue hmc been hunted down
and either put to denth or sentenced to the
penitentiary In the last few years has been
tho wonder and admiration of officials of
other roads. The laBt notable example of
this kind has but Intensified this Interest
and it Is believed that It will serve as an
object lesson to aspiring train robbers that
will cnusc them to seek elsewhcro In quest
of a continuation of their employment.
Nine years ago the special service depart
ment of the I'nlon Pacific railroad was or
ganized as h branch of tho system, separate
and distinct from everything else. Previ
ous to that time special service had been
performed by special agents In charge of di
vision superintendents. June I. ISM, act
ing upon the suggestion of Geueial Manager
Dicklnton and General Counsel Kelly, the
special service department was inaugurated
under direction of V. T. Canada. Since
that time tho work of running down crimi
nals who havo committed offences agalust
tho I'nlon I'acllle railroad. Its employes or
natrons, has been conducted with slgual
success. It haB mattered not what the
enormity of the offence, every wrong-doer
has been hunted down with tho same per
sistence, tho solo and only motto of the de
partment being. "Let not the guilty cscupe."
During the period of tho department's ex
istence there havo been five notable eases,
four of them train robberies and the other
station safe blowing. Of the twelve par
tlclpants In thefo cases bIx nrc serving
terms In different penal Institutions, four
were UUIcd while resisting capture and two
are yet at large.
"To what do 1 attribute tho success of the
special service department'.'" said Special
Agent Canada In response to a reportorlal
Inquiry. "Chlclly to this one fact: the
Union Pacific spares no money in running
down guilty culprits and leaves no stone
unturned In bringing them to Justice. The
moment one of our trains ,1s rubbed and the
report reaches the main olfices poHses are
Immediately orgunlzed. Tho best men that
it Is rorslble to get hold of are employed and
large rewards are olfered for the apprehen
sion of tho robbers. The enormous expense
of these pursuits and the rewards ottered
and paid Is Justified In the feeling of safety
felt by our pnshcngers. They know tLit
train on tho Union Pacific will only be
tackled by a robber who Is desperate, for his
end is as sure as fate itself. In these pro.i
perous times there are not many train rob
bers who arc reduced to such traits, so our
passengers uro virtually us safe as though
they were sleeping In their own trundle
beds. Of course, tho Union Pacific has had
many robberies since Its organisation, but
tho robbers are Invariably captured. Today
there are only two men at largo who have
been mixed up In robberies on our road,
and they had a hand in the Wilcox hold-up.
They will be captured If they stay on top of
ttie ground If men and money can get them

The first train robbery that came under his
attention after tho organization of his de
partment was In tho spring of 1S92. At
Jersey, n suburb of Denver, a eouplo of
masked men boarded a train and started
to hold up tho passengers. One man only
wns relieved of his possessions nnd he
netted the robbers 75 cents. When they
had finished him a passenger who wns in
the rear of tho car, Jubilantly Intoxicated
caught tho spirit of excitement Incident to
tho occasion, nnd discharged a revolver
he chanced to have. He nimeil II at noth
Ing in particular and tho bullet Hew wil:
but it had the effect of gearing the rob
bers completely out of their wits. They
beat a hasty retreat, alighting from the
train whllo It wns In motion. They wcro
followed Into Kansas for a distance of 1R0
miles, captured, brought back to Denver,
stood trial and each sentenced to n terra
of fourteen years In tho penitentiary.
The next Union Pacific train robbery
was on August 21, IS?:.. A brace of bandits
made their way into tho express car when
tho train was threo and one-half miles
east of Brady Island at u point called
Huttcrmllk hill. Dynamite was applied to
tho safe and n smnll safe was blown open
but tho through safo remained Intact
The robbers got away with J2S In money
and somo valueless paper nnd tickets
Threo days after tho commission of tho
robbery tho bandits were captured at
Mason City, Neb., to which point they
had been followed by a posse organized
at Ilrady Island. In their haste to escapo
they had had no opportunity to spend
uny of tho money nnd tho $28 wore re
covered. Tho men were taken to North
Platte, whero they proved to bo tho Knud
Ben brothers. Knut and Henry. They wcro
tried and sentenced to ten years each In
the penitentiary.
For a cnuplo of years afterward the
Union Pacific wus tabooed by tho train
robbers and Specinl Agent Canada had
nothing more exciting to do than to breal
up a gang of safo blowers, which had been
oporatlng through the country, paying

June I, 1K99, the Wilcox. Wye-., hold-up
occurred. The stirring details of this nf
fair, the murder of ono of the pursuers by
a Iko'ng bandit, the long and vigilant tearch
for the guilty culprits nnd the final tragic
endings of three of the five participants lire
still eomewhat fresh In the minds of the
reading public. The first section of I'nlon
Pacific No. I. westbound, was tpeedliiK
H'-rct-H the state of Wyoming toward Chey
enne on the morning of Juno 2. Tho morn
ing wus haidly more thun an hour old when
11 red light ut Wilcox brought the train to
a standstill. Five men boarded It. They
were (Icorgo Curry, Hob le, alias Hob
Curry; lcwls I-osiui, nllas IJti Curry, and
two others. They Immediately assumed
command of tho train, the eloquenco or
their murderous looking firearms completely
cowing the trainmen. They cut off the
express and baggage 1 nr from tho rest of
tho train and ran ncrns a bridge. Under
this brldgn they placed a charge of dyna
mite and set It off In niCer to prevent a
pursuing train from easily overtaking them.
Tho bridge was damaged considerably, but
Its repair was accomplished without great
difficulty.
The robbers took from the safo $3. too in
unsigned currency, which was being shipped 1
from the Treasury department at Washing- '
ton to tho First National bank of Portland; 1
also oue other money bag that was in the
afo containing $'.'0 and some cheap W4tche.

In pursuit the robbers were eight hours
ahead of them and they had gained only
thirty-five miles on their pursuers when
Casper was reached Meantime tho Union
Pacific Issued 11 nctlee of reward, coupled
with the Pacific Kxpress company, oflcrlng
2.0o0 each for the men. deud or alive. The
government added I1.0U0 each for the. cap.
ture of tho men.
About thirty miles out of Casper the
posse ran upon the robbers and exchanged
shots with them ut long distance. The next
day a pan of the poise struck their trail on
Casper creek among ihc rocks and canyons,
where the country was so rough that It was
almost Impossible to follow the lead. The
robbers fired upon them from ambush nnd
Joe Hiizen. sheriff of Comcrso county, Wyo.,
was struck. He was wounded In the Intes
tinal region and tiled from the effects later
at his home In Douglas.
Tbo country thereabouts waj rough and
tho slight traces erf a trail that had existed
wero blotted away by the continuous rains
and snows. The men in pursuit were
strangers, whllo the robbers knew evcrv
fcot of the ground over which they were
fleeing. Hcsldes they liHd many friends and
were uble to secure fresh horses. Conse
quently after some three weeks of a fruit
less pursuit the chase was abandoned and
a still hunt Inaugurated.

Six months later a couple of rouch-look-
Ing characters entered tho Stockman's Na
tional bank nt Fort Denton, Mont., and
presented some $ll0 bills for redemption.
Tho currency looked to be mutilated, pre
Mimnbly from the dynamite explositn when
the express car at Wilcox was blown up.
The Union Pacific knew of this transaction
before the day was over and spciul ngents
were soon on the scene. They found that
tho money had come from a couple of
rough-looking individuals, who ran a sa
loon at Harlem, Mont., under the name of
the Curry brothers. These proved to bo
Lewis Logan nnd Hob Lcc, but beforo the
officers could get nt them to make an ar
rest they Jumped the country. After fol
lowing their trail through Washington.
Montana nnd Colorado, Lewis Logan was
flnnlly located at Dodson, Mo., eighteen
miles from Kansas City. He was btoimlne
at the house of a Mrs. Lee. mother of II ib
Lee. A posso of officers repaired lo 1I1U
residence, on tho morning of February 2S
and undertook to surround (he house for
the purposo of arresting Logan. Ho saw
them coming, however, and ran out of the
house. Seeing it virtually surrounded nnd
nil means of escapo cut off he whipped out
'Us gun and showed light, but ho was shot
down before he was able to fire his weapon.
On tho very same day that Lewis Logan
came to this tragic end his partner In
crime was arrested In a gambling house at
Cripple Creek. Ho was later tried be
fore tho United States court at Cheyenne,
charged with attempted robbery of tho
United States mall, and May 27 was sen
tenced to ten years In the Wyoming peni
tentiary. Tho end of the career ol tho notorious
George Curry, the lender of this gang,
camo soon after. Juno 17 Inst, Curry was
killed whllo resisting an attempted arrest
made by Sheriffs Tyler and Priest of Utah.
Since that time Sheriff Tyler has been as
sassinated, his death coming nt the hands
of a gang of cattle rustlers on the Green
river, near where Curry was killed.

After tho lapso of moro than a jear's
tlmo the Union Pacific was once more made
the object of 11 train robbery this month
and tho two fellows who made ihe attempt
will never again do the like, because both
aro dead. This last robbery took plui o
Sunday, August C, when an enstbound
Union Pacific train was held up helwccn
Hugo nnd Lyman, Colo. Tho robbers got
away with but 22.G0, a gold watch and a
little Jewelry, hut the' enormity of their
crime was that It developed Into u murder,
W. J. Faye of California, ono of the pas
sengers on tho train, being fired upon and
killed.
The news of this holdup was received In
Omaha Sunday morning about 10 otioil;
and Immediately the wires wore put in
motion. Every office within 150 miles of
the ccene of the affair was notified und as
complete a description us posslblo of the
men was telegraphed. General Manager
Dickinson offered a reward of $1,000 each
for the men dead or alive. These facts
wero telegraphed every railroad agent,
telegraph office, sheriff, marshal nnd police
within 150 miles of Hugo by noon of that
day. Tho Idea was to completely surround
the bandits so that they could not escape
In any direction.
Tho robbers got as far as Goodland,
Kan., nr.d put up on Bartholomew's rauch
They wero fatigued and their horses
showed the offects of hard riding, but they
explained that they wcro prospectors on
their way to California. Two days after
tho robbers arrived, by a clover ruse,
Sheriff William Walker of Goodland, who
had been informed of the proscuco of two
strangers at tho Bartholomew ranch, rode
out without exciting suspicion. Ono of
tho robbers was killed Just as he was on
tho point of shooting at a member of thn
posse who had Inadvertently exposed his
gun. Tho other escaped Into tho house.
Then followed a desporato struggle be
tween tho lone robber, having tho house
for protection, and tho posse without. Two
of the members of the posse were wounded
and thon Sheriff Walker decided upon a
bit of strategy. Waiting until nightfall
hid his movements ho procured some dyna
mite aud set the houso ufire. Tho next
morning tho charred remains of the outlaw
who occupied It were found.
Tho robber who was shot had letters and
papors Indicating that ho wns a Mexican,
Tlodora Arattano, probably from Arrayn
Secccs Taos, N. M os that was tho plai 0
from whence his letters came Thero was
no mistake in his identity as ono of the
bandits, for a wntch ho wore corresponded
In numbers to ono tho robbers secured In
