Show "disputed Coleman's right to a mining: property. Coleman had taken the precaution to hire a few gun-men to resist thows who were harassing him, and, as a result, when tho clash came two or three bold brigands on the side of the miners died with their boots on, j as did the father of the "Luck of Roaring Camp." Coleman's de- j fenders were arrested and spirited away to Ogden to prevent a ! lynching in Vernal. One of them was a '-pal" of Butch Cassidy and ' Butch was credited with organizing a cavalcade to ride to this city and demand the keys that held his friend enthralled. But the hainnrising plot never materialized, though it gave Ogden an added interest in the exploits of the Dick Turpin of Utah. Unless quickly squelched, Eutch Cassidy will do that which President Diaz is credited with having done in Mexico organize the country's bandits into an army and become dictator. Utah has no regrets to offer over the los3 of so energetic a citizen, but hopes the climate of Argentina will prove more smoothing smooth-ing to tho tingling nerves of Butch Cassidy than did the climate of this mountainous region.

When the railroad's preparations to resist re-sist possible attack became forbidding and every fheriff in hJf a dozen states was waiting for a chance to povnee upon him, "Et'tc Cassidy" vacated his mountain retreat and disappeared. He was never listed on the export trade report?, but he was one of the mo3t important exportations ever made by this country, and the inflicting of him upon a foreign country, in a measure pi-ores an equivalent for all the undesirables which this country has been afflicted with tince the first Mafia and the first "Ela:k Eand',' arrived at Castle Garden. "Butch Cassidy" at one time had planned to storm the Wcbr-county Wcbr-county Jail, so the story gees, and the threatened attack r:rvV? officers as nervous as though he had sent a message, j?-? :rir - l-'1 tenca on them.
