How Criminals Are Brought to Bay, if Not Always to Justice, by the Law. riEEOE FIGHTS OF EEOENT DATE. Glased Like "Wild Beasts, Outlaws Some- -' times Grow Desp6rata and Fight. : Not for Life. But for Liberty- - ' An esenped convict is in worse case than ft hunted wiid beast. The animal fleeing from its pursuers may find refuse with thoso of its kind, but tho criminal has no such resource. Every man's hand is against him, and the most ecRer to betray him are generally those who dread the law as much as he, and seek to placate its olll-cer- s by the sacrifice of a fellow offender. So hunted and so environed tho fugitive turn no choice" when cornered save fight or surrender. It was thv knowledge of this condition of things that led tho Younger gang, after their unsuccessful raid on the bank at Northfleld, Minn., to a dozen men before they could have been captured or slain. Said Ilanlon after his ret urn to prison; "We didn't care to kill anybody, but it was a case of life or death to us, and what could any one expect but that we should ' sell our lives under tho circumstances as dearly as possible? I was sent hero to serve a sentence of seventeen years. Wouldn't you rather lie dead than have to stay hero that long? Now, when the guard on the 'white horse had his animal shot 'from under him it vas not the intention to shoot the man. We just wanted to shoot tho worse so that he would not head us otf, ami would be on foot the same aa we were and take the same chances. At different times we dropped a bullet near some of them who were gaining on us. But there's one thing sure, if the wind had been blow-ing we would have escaped, for then the guards would not have heard us going over the leaves, We tried it once, and found ourselves looking into the muzzle of shotgun- - And don't you know that it makes a fellow feel lonesome to look into one when he doesn't know it will go oil?"

Only the other day he was released from the Jefferson City penitentiary, and within twenty-fou- r hours word came back to tho warden that tho old man hud stolen a team of horses and a buggy, tried to shoot Sheriff Morton and had been locked up in the jail at Leroy, Kan.

In attempting robbery they hud committed murder, and they knew that ar-rest meant life Imprisonment, if not hang-ing. They failed in their struggle for lib-erty because all men were ngainst them, ami so the law was vindicated, and these dangerors freebooters now drag out the remnant of their lives in tho Minnesota penitentiary. As is well known, the law was vindl- - rated by highly illegal methods in tho easu of Jes.se James, another hunted criminal of note, who fell beneath tho bullets of a supposed comrade. It was thought that his death and tho seclusion of the Yotingers would end the activity of train robbers in Missouri, but, subsequent happenings have proved that the belief bad small foundit- - lion. Tho only thing closed out by the double event was the existence of tho two most daring and unscrupulous bands of oul laws ever known to American history bands that had battled successfully against the authorities for years, ami whoso long trail of crime fairly dripped with blood. A Chicago mini not lonjj ago furnished an example of ferocity in contending with the polico that, if exhibited elsewhcro and under other conditions, would have made liitn an eligible candidate for admission to the coterie either of Mr. Jesse James or THK CONVICT tOItTRESS. Mr. Colo Younger. Dyer Scanlon is the fellow's name, and he is now wearing tripes at Joliet. When, nfter a long neiirch, tho otlleers surrounded his hiding place ina tenement house, be "stood them off" for hours and only surrendered after bis ammunition had become wholly ex- -' hausted. In fact it ennrot be said that he really did surrender, for ho fought till ho was overpowered and beatcu into Insensl-- i " ' bility. At one time during tho contest he might have mado terms with his besiegers, but ha declined all compromise. In that respect be differed from tho men who recently gained an added notoriety by their sensa-- ! tional escape from the California peuiten- - tiary at San Quentin. These convicts nro W. J I. Ilanlon and Charles Maiming, staya robbers under sentence of seventeen years each from Mendocino county, and Aura hum Turcot t, a life prisoner for murder. They broke out the ot her day and lied across count ry under a fusilladoof rifles, pistols and (Jailing guns. They secured Winchesters and ammunition, mid when! close pressed took rr.i'uga in it dense thicket. There they built a breastwork of logs, and ' from that stronghold defied the small army that surrounded it. To show what they could do if they choso, they slot it man's horso from under him and put a ball through tho right arm of another. Without food or water they kept their hunters i:t buy for twenty-tw- o bourn, anil when they capitulated they did so on terms . Ki'iinted by the prison wardcu'mid guaran-teed by the sheriffs of Marin and Mendo-cino counties. The Mendocino sheriff, Mr. Stanley, acted as mediator.

Their puaition was situated about lifty feet from t he trail. They had selected a pluca in the middle of a clump of piuo trees, and bui it a barri-cade by piling logs three high and forming a hollow square. Pits wero dug inside this gfptaro, and in these the men stood waist deep. This brought their beads ou a level vith the middle log ca either side, and tha hooting was dono by pushing their rifles ' through the interstices, while their bodies and heads weo sheltered behind tho logs. Tho foliage between their fortress and the trail was so thick that it was impossi-ble for them to bo seen. Intrenched with-in this fortress, if the men had possessed provisions they could have withstood im assault as Ioue as their ammunition held out. They gave up on the stipulation that their punishment should be simply ten. days' solitary confinement Those par-ticipating in the hunt assert that had they ao desired the fugitives might have killed Mind Reading.

The fierce ltuftli to Win Various SI let of Championship. Tho "championship" busiuess seems slightly overdone. Not a week passes with-out the announcement that some athlete has "trained too fine-- ' and broken down, or that somebody has been carried off a football field with fractured legs and smashed head, or that some "pugilist" has met death In the prize ring. The latest fatulity arising from zeal to win a doubt-ful distinction is announced from Boston, where Charles McCaffrey sought "fame" and found death. McCaffrey, who was known as the Cana-dian bridge jumper, climbed to tho top of the shears at the Atlantic works. East Bos-ton, t he other afternoon. The shears are two gigantic pillars which meet at the tops and aro built obliquely over tho water at an t anglo of about JO degs. They are used to step the masts of vessels, which ac-counts for their great height. They aro about 150 feet above the surface of the har-bor, a dizzy height, and about 5 feet higher than the Brooklyn bridge railing. At the point whero tho pillars meet a flagstaff stands. McCaffrey clung to this pole before he made his terrible leap. He appeared to make a good leap, but when he got nearly to tho water it was seen that he had turned. He struck on his back, and probably he was killed instantly. The men who were with him lied. Some men in a yacht tried to rescue him, but tho body, which rose to the surface once, soon disappeared and was seen no more. The Supply yevrr Diminishes. Thinpurse Dear, dear, Maria!

His name is James Lee, and his specialty is the "custom house racket." He has made his living bv call- - ing at residences of wealthy people and informing them that a pack-age bearing their address was at the custom house and would be sold un-less the charges wero paid imme-diately. As Leo formerly held a custom house po- - Bition, and knows Z"'m tho details of the JAMES LIE. business, his talk and documents Kcnerally secured him the cash. Tho amount demanded was always either or W.iW. i.ee, who Is 40 years of age, was first ar-rested in Now York city on April Kl, 1SK3, for swindling about thirty ladies, iio was tried and convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for two anil a half years. The persons who testified said that while they were Ketlinj? tho money ho would sit down to a piano and sinu and play "Nearer, My (jod, to Thee." After his release he went to Ilallimore, where ho was arrested ami sent up for three years, lie was released ill 1887.

' A Georgia convict working on the im-provements at Crawfish Spring broke his chain and man.iged to escape from camp the other day. Bloodhounds were put on his trail, but lost it in a few miles, the cun-ning rascal having stolen a mulo and mounted it. After riding a short distance ho was thrown oil' by t he animal, lie suc-ceeded in eluding his pursuers, but was captured by a citizen on Missionary Hidge, who hearing a j.oiso us of hammering fol-lowed it, and found the convict silting on a rock pounding the fragment of the chain still attached to his anklo. A neighbor cauio to the scene armed with a pistol, and the criminal was captured, lie now wears a secured chain attached to his neck. Innocent. "Who wrote the Psalms?" asked tho severely.
