¢ IN THE BLACK TAIL BASIS rate Olark's Fork Oountry Outlaws Housed for the Winter, Desper THEY MAY BE CAPTURED IN THE SPRING History of Their Bloody Deeds and Numer- ous Raids on the Property of the Sur- rounding Country Band, Personnel of Dexven, Colo., Jan, 80.—[Speeial to Tne Bre|-The general reading vublic will readily recall the murder some months since of Ranchman Weaver at the hands of the Snyder-Jackson band of stock thieves, operating in the Clark’s Fork country on the vorthwestern Wyoming and southwestern Montana borders, Mr. Weaver being at tho Wme of his tragic death in pursuit of the iieves, with the hope of recovering some horses they had stolen from him. From Thomas Paddock, & hunter of the Owl mountains in Wyoming, & lata Denver visitor, Tie Bre correspondent has received cbusiderablo infornation about this gane of range thieves and desporados, The bandits, says Mr. Paddock, after killing Weaver, took refuge in the Black Tail basin in the miagst of the Owl mountains—a basin which is the habitual baunt and headquarters of these robvers. In this basin the gang still is and will be all winter, as late heavy snow talis have blocked up the surrounding moun- tain passes, thus snowing the thieves iu unul next spring. The Black Tail basin, deriving i name from the large numbers of biack tail deer found there, is located on the sources of the Wood river, a stream flowing into the Big Horn, 'The basin is botn deep and wide, and on its abundant pasturage the bandits are wintering between 300 and 400 head of stolen horses and a few stolen cattle, the latter being for tabie beef purposes only. ‘These outlaws have built in the basina number of comfortable log dwelling houses and are said to have several of the softer and fairer sex with them to mitigate the irk- someness of their mountain winter life. “The gang numbers between fiiteon and twonty riders, Its captain is a youug fellow named Snyder. This precocious criminal is anly 21 years of age. jHe was born and bred on the Crow Indian reservation, near the Banks of the Clark’s Fork’ and is half Crow, iis mother being a full blood squaw of that tribe, o fact to which Snyder owes his local sobriquet of “The Crow Kid.” Snyderis cunning, foarless and active, and is a born leader of men. Ior his right hand man Soyder has a man nawmed Juckson who is a * prother of *“Titon” Jackson, the erst famous bandit leader of the Titon mountains on the Wyoming and Idaho boraers. Theso brothers in fraternmity and crime are sons of old Abner Jackson, once noted among the “moonshiners of the Tennesses mountains. Tu the Black Tail basin gang Jackson is known familiarly as “O1d Silver Tip,” from a real or faucied resemblance to the silver tip bear family, Jackson being of a low stature and massive frame and \earing shagey masses of black bair and Leard, plentifully flecked with gray, or silver. The most ferocious and sanguinary of tho gang is a fellow whose only name is “Red.” This man is described as of small mental capacity, but of glant stature and strength. Ho loves the sheddine of plood, and brought with him to the land the boast of having already slain four men. ‘‘Rea’ is popularly thought to be the man who really slew Ranchman Weaver. Mr. Paddock thinks that with the melting of the mountain snows in the coming spring the ranchmen of the concerned Wyoming and Montana borders, who are thorouzhly exasperated over the murder of Weaver, wiil march en masse into the Black Tail basin and kill the bandits in their mountain lair. s gre b MAY HAVE A NEW TRACK. Look Toward Enst Omaha With Hope, ¢ all deponds on what the supreme court says,” replied Nat Brown when_asked about the report that a number of the'horsemen of the city intended to build a.mile track and establish a driving park on the East Omaba ttoms, ““There is such a move on foot,” he con: tinued, *‘and if the supreme court decides that the land is in Nebraska, the plan will undoubtedly be carried out. [f the track is built we wil get the state fuir for ten years and the Nebraska Breeders' meetings for fivo years. ‘The necessary grounds 10 accommodate them 1s the 0"'{: thing needed ic order to get them. 1 have taulked with several of the members of both societies and they arc favorably disposed, as thestate fair stays at Lincoln only two ycars longer and the breeders are now in & row overa locarion. The grounds are easy of access ana the motor company and Failroads would run straigbt to the gates.” *“What is to becume of the Council Bluffs track?” + “That beloogs to the bridge line motor company. They got several Omaha men to take stock in the concern, but none of it was paid up. The park is hanaicapped by the Stewart managemont and we wouldn’t ay up as long us he had contro 'hat’made a row and we have all pulled ou and left them to go it alona. Omaha ough -to have a good track of her own. The Driv- ing Park associatign’s new track is too far out, and I don't believe it will ever pay. It is a natural amphitbeater aud folks can stand on the lulls ourside and see the races for two miles. Graded tracks liko that sel- dom pay. It takes a constant outlay for re- irs Itke o ruilroad grade. If East Omaha s in Nebraska, it will soon have a track where there will be some tall racing meet- ings, and folks will come many a mile o seo s0me protty purses won.” « The highest record made for pole vaulting was mado last week by Gus Drexel, who cleared the nine foot mark neatly. There is a good deal of sprinting done on the running track. Many of the hoavy- ‘wnlnhu are reducing tneir flesh by daily jogs. Captain Nicholas acd s tug-of-war team are away out of sight. They train daily and claim to be able to pull any team in Ne- braska. The new villiard and card rooms are neatly always crowded and the enlargement of the club house is greatly appreciated by the members. Last Friday forenoon Captain Alford, the well known sworasman and Dr. Despescher, had a bout for selentific points, aud “the cap- win won. Then President Ames and the oaptain took their places on the fencing board and went at it for blood. The bout was five points, and the club president held s own and won the bout much to the en- joyment oy the members present. The score stood: Ames, 5; Alfora, 1 The next club night will be on February 13, and the directors promise a greatshow for the members, On the evening of February 20 there will bo a general exhibition, Lee Sprattlin s doing the best work in sparing, though several ambitious members are crowding bim for first place. 8. 1.

The road was commenced before the Atchison became involved in financial ifficulties, and is known as the St. Lous, Kansas City & Colorado. Ths road is com- pleted from St. Louis to Union, a distance of fifty-nine and a half miles. Contracts have veen let and the road, when completed, will be 262 miles long, or fifteen miles shorter than the Wabush, which is the short line between St. Louis and Kansas City. The finishing of the work will nearly compiete the Atchison system at its eastern end. General Manuger Ainslee of the Wisconsin Central said today : *'I am not able to give you information of & definite character, but I think that we shall run trains on the Wis- consin Central by electric power before the Columbian exposition is over. The discov- eries of the uses to which electricity can be put and its adaptability to moving trains are far ahead of what is keaeraily supposed. As to the Northern Pacific properties, Mr, Vilas has had personal charge of all such matters, and he alone can give out the results, I think you will find, however, that some one of the'three great electrical companies—the Edison, the Westinghouse and the Thomson- Houston—will make public soma surprising developments at an early day.”’ The ngures of traffic in southwestern blind pool between Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City for September bave just been completed.

Mexicans refused to hold communication with the rangers, and flod after firing a vol- ley.

The pris ouer has hitherto refused to talk, but being shown a Spanish newspaper containing an account of the sentence of Hornandez, be- came indignant at Dinzand the Moxican government. He admitted having been with Garza when the latter first crossed the river and threatened Micr. He declared at that time Garza's strength was 250 men, and when Hernandez met them the latter had only fifty men; that it would have been maduess for Hernandez to have urged a battle with Garza, and that Hornan- dez was in nowise connected with the revo- lution. The prisoner believes Hornander's sentence was brought about by General Gar- cia,commander of the army. in northern Mex- ico, for personal reasons. Captain Johu G. Bourke, who commanded the troops in the fight with the revolu- tionists at Retinal, today says the country i still full of Garza'sfollowers in bands of fou. or five disguised.
