I and ultimately became a under Cutr and General Sheridan when I they took down the Seventeenth Cavalry Cav-alry and the Nineteenth Kansas to look after Indians. Being in a wild country, nobody cared much what he djd: but he presently came back to Kansas, where he followed his old game of gambling and shooting over again. One of the men he killed was Rob Gillman. who was seated at a card table with him, and, because he said a word or two to him about the general fairness of the game, he drew a pistol and threatened to shoot him through the head. Suiting the action to the word, he immediately shot him through the teeth, so that the Lull came out at the back of his head. About this time he kept a saloon and gambling den in Hays City, and, happening to fall across a young man named Estes. who is well known to many citizens of this place, he. in company with some others, shot him in a row. After this he shot two women at Ellsworth, under circumstances which are probably fresh in the minds of everyone. Having engaged en-gaged in a quarrel with some men at a houe of ill-fame, he succeeded, in company com-pany with others, in shooting one man and two women, just as they had risen hurriedly from their beds. Since then he has not been heard of as killing any one in public, until this last account, ac-count, which roaches us from Topcka, where he appears to have shot two helpless women at Wichita.
