would advise tho warliko .Taps to get

Mexico could lick tho United States if

TEXAS' WAR ON TRUSTS
When it comes to waging war on
trusts,' , commend us to tho sovereign
state of Texas, says tho Washington
Herald. All other trust busters must
take a back scat by comparison with
tho legislators of that puissant common
wealth. Even tho much heralded Purdy
scheme for putting tho bad trusts Into
tho hands of receivers was anticipated
by Toxas statesmen, for an anti-trust
act now In effect In that stato author
izes tho court to appoint a receiver for
a corporation whenever tho interest of
tho state may seem to rcquiro such ac
tion. The samo act gives tho stato a
lien on the property of all corporations
convicted of violating tho anti-trust
laws, and authorizes tho issuo of writs
of garnishment, sequestration, attach
ment and Injunction.
All trusts look aliko to tho Toxas leg
islator, and so no distinction Is made
botween good and bad trusts. Thero
is no such thing as a good trust, and
anything mado by a trust is attaint
and forbidden. No merchant may sell
trust-mado goods on pain of imprison
ment, and no agent of a trust company
may prcsumo to offer his wares for salo
within tho bounds of Toxas. Tho salo
of such goods has been mado a fqlony,
punishablo by a term of two to ten
years in prison. No known trust will
bo permitted to operato in Toxas, and
tho attorney general is preparing to
bring actions to drive them all out of
tho stato and to initiate criminal pro
ceedings against their officers and their
agents.
Tho practical consequences of this
particularist and destructive policy will
bo awaited with interest by observers
of economic legislation. It would scorn
to tend to intorforo with interstate
commerce, and to place restrictions
upon the normal movements of trado
that may not bo at all boncflclal to
tho people of Texas. To forbid tho salo
of innocuous articles simply becauso

THE HOLD-UP IN
Written for tho
GEORGE H.
f Author's NoteTo many Silvor Bolt
readers this story will not appear whol
ly as fiction, despite tho unfamiliar
names, which aro fictitious. While tho
operations of "Dr. lloso" aro familiar
to many Arizonnns, as well us thousands
throughout tho east whore ho cast his
bait for "suckers," tho story of his
carefully planned hold-up in ordor to
sccuro tho stock hem by tno "sucKors
ho brought to Arizona for an inspection
of his "nuno" is known to but row.
Tho expose of tho doctor, his flight into
Mexico, his subsequent nppcaranco In
this country, his rearrost anil second
flight to parts unknown, aro known to
tho reading public of tho continent. As
to tho othor characters, Kod Wilkin
has since crossed tho dlvldo, assisted by
tho bullot of a N ,w Mexican officer,
for cattle rustling, and Hank Forrot is
n well known Gilu county initio oper
ator. "Th' dovll 's suro lurk 'n 'bout hero
some 'ores, an' holl can't bo fur off,"
was tho characteristic manner lu which
Red Wllkins sized up tho wilderness of
tho Santa Teresa mountains as wo rodo
tho trail of Goodwin wush, gazing in
wonder at tho strange scones whlah nt
ovory turn of tho trail soomed to opon
wider ami darker to receive us. Tho
sotting of mountain and ennyon in tho
background, tho formidable spires and
spurs of tho foothills with their gruo
some, gaping, distorted apertures, pre
sented an ominous environment.
"Look a' that horntoad did yu aver
seo a head more like th' dovil'sf An'
lis 'n how th' killdeo, th' littlo bird
with th' black ring of mournln' 'roun
its nock, cries when th' HUH sinks bo
bin' th' hills; don't it sort o' mnko
yu fool liko somothin's goln' to slide
up bohin' yu sudden! An' thor Giln
monsters thoy's sure 01' Nick's pets,
fur thny say that a monster hisses jus'
liko him, an it's as full o' p'ison if a
follor is unlucky enough to bo closo
in. I reckon if a follor lived herp long
ho'd sure grow horns," concluded Wll
kins, shifting to ono sldo of tho sad
dlo in tho uneasy manner of tho cow
puncher who has boon riding rough
trails for many hours.
Goodwin wash, in its circuitous courso
townrds tho mountains, narrows as it
ontors tho foothills, nnd comes to an
abrupt end by a projection of tho
mountain rnngc thrown across its path.
Black Rock, a namo tho cowpunchers
havo given to the projection which de
fies tho wash from further progress into
tho mountains, is a mass of sandstone,
of unshapely spires nnd ominous cav
ities, ns naked ns though it has just
forced its way through tho earth's
crust. For several miles down tho trail
one can distinguish tho outline of a
human head, clearly carved in tho great
rock; but as tho rider approaches tho
head loses its cast, The features so
plainly markqd by distanco disappear,
tho nose' and chin aro absorbed by a
jingle spire, nnd when tho .rock is
reached no trace remains of tho strange
Inhabitant.
"Hotter shed your boss, pard," ex
claimed Wilkins, whon ho reached thit
uninviting place. "Th' rest o' tho out
fit will be siftin' in soon with wrinkles
in theer stomachs from hunger an' it
'ud bo a good plan to havo somo grub
ready."
Why wo came to such a place in the
mountains neither of us exactly knew;
but a puncher tho day before camo into
our, horso camp at Apache Springs,
whero wo wcro herding horses used by
tho cowpunchers in tho round-up, nnd
informed us that tho boss of tho Half
Circle outfit wanted us to meet him nnd
somo of tho boys nt tho head of tho
wash. Wo had often been ordered to go
to different parts of tho mountains with
no definite knowlcdgo of what our work
was to lie there.
As darkness camo on nnd Black Rock
becamo only a black, unsightly shadow
abovo us, we could hear tho brush
cracking far down the wash, and mum
bled sounds told us that tho rest of tho
outfit was coming. Black Rock, illum
inated by our camp fire, throw a reflec
tion of light down tho wash, and, guid
ed by tho glare, the punchers left tho
trail and camo straight toward tho
camp, riding hard and awakening the
echoes of tho canyons with their piorc
ing cat-cries.
"If tho dovll 's in theso hills to
night," said Wilkins, as tho cowboys
camo tearing through tho mosquito nnd
sngobrush, "ho won't got much sleep."
Ho had scarcely finished sneaking
when tho punchers charged into tho
camp, firing thoir six-shooters and
dancing thoir horses about wildly.
"Light any place, boys; the groun'
is sof mos' nnywhero you hit it,"
yelled Wilkins, ns tho punchers rodo
nbout looking for good places to roll
down their blankets.
Hank Ferret, tho boss of tho outfit
a tall, squarely built man, with pierc
ing blue eyes swung into tho light
of tho camp fire.., Two six-shooters hung
from holsters in his bolt, and every
produced by a trust would scorn to bo
a gigantic undertaking by tho side of
that of preventing the snlo of liquor,
which last has been found to bo well
night impossible. Wo should think that
after n few months' effort to stop tho
salo of thread, sugar, tobacco and liko
articles of universal uso tho whole stato
would bo given over to tho lying, inva
sion, perjury and potty prosecutions
which havo characterized tho attempts
to enforco prohibition in other common
wealths. It Is a curious commentary on tho
force and efficacy of so-called Demo
cratic principles that important tenets
of the old faith should bo violated by
professed mombors of tho party in a
doctrinairo attempt to control by arbi
trary legislation tho courso of trado,
and to dictato to tho citizen what ho
shall buy and with whom ho shall deal.
Thero will havo to bo somo now defining
of Domocrncy to tako in tho theory that
tho stato may mnko it a felony to buy
what you want, from whom you please,
and whorovor you liko.

man in tho outfit was equipped in a
like manner. It was not unusual to seo.
a eowpunchor with a "gun" in his bolt
or tucked in his trousers bund, but two
"guns" in tho possession of each man
aroused our curiosity.
"You needn't look so cur'os," ex
claimed tho boss, mysteriously. "Tho
round-up In tho niornin' will bo livoly
enuf fur a gat in each ltrui', and tho
handles I reckon will got mighty hot
afore wo'ro through. Bank tho coals
of tho flro tonight, Red, fur wo'ro goln'
to be out enrfy tomorrow."
"From th' guns nnd ammunition
yu'r packing, looks liko yu'r goln' to
drlvo all th' Apaches frum th' reser
vation, or shoot up th' Espcnooza
camp, ono," snld Red, as ho watched
tho punchers roinovo thoir bolts."
No furthor information was ndvnnced
by tho boss ns to tho work plnnnod for
tho next day. Two men with a train
of burros pneked with copper oro camo
into our camp as wo woro seated about
tho flro eating our rough meal. From
thorn wo learned that they wcro on
gaged iu packing oro from a copper
mine on tho other sldo of tho moun
tain. They woro taking tho oro to a
mining enmp n fow miles distant, they
informed us, wlicro tho oro was placed
on tho dumps at tho different points
where work was bolnjr done. Sovernl
sacks of the same ore, they said, was
delivered to tho railway station, from
which point It was shipped to Now
York to tho company.
"Wo get all it's worth, and ask no
questions, " ono of the men informed us
in reply to questions regarding thoir
operations.
Red Wilkins soleetcd a number of
chunks of ore from tho groat rawhide
buckets, nnd, examining them critical
ly, said:
"Them's suro handsome bricks, pard,
but I reckon they'll como mighty high
fur th' tenderfoot what gets salted
with 'em, if that's th' uso yu'r makin'
of this oro. I've scon 'em movo a
mlnln' claim nforo thoor wuz any work
done, but to pick up and movo a whole
mlno Is suro a now idco."
"Thcor's no virtue In working if
a man has brains," suggested Hank
Fcrrot. "Long-distanco minin' is an
art jus' liko usin' a running Iron is, nnd
th' earth is iull of tenderfoot tracks
toeing fur easy monoy."
Tho punchers wcro too tired to dis
cuss any matter seriously, and an hour
aftor tho outfit and visitors had fin
ished supper the camp was silent, savo
tho snoring here nnd thero of some
wornout sleeper.
II.
Attached to tho wesbound oxprcss of
tho Southorn Pacific that night was a
Pullman filled with a lively party of
eastern people. They woro speeding on
towards tho setting sun to visit n mine
in Arizona, mid each had purchased his
share of stock in it and felt a propri
etary interest in tho discovery. The
party was In charge of Dr. Rose, a
skillful ontcrtalnor, and a man regarded
by tho members of tho party as tho
king of mining and a prince of good
fellows. He wns a promoter of great
projects, and tho Espcnooza copper
mlno was at present heading the list.
Dr. Rose had organized a company of
$10,000,000 capital to dovclop his Ari
zona mine. Rich copper oro was ex
hibited in New York, assays were mado
by tho skeptical ones, and tho oro was
not found wanting In all tho wealth the
doctor claimed for it. Tho fame of
Espcnooza spread throughout tho east,
and stock was in demand. Over a mil
lion dollars of stock was sold by Dr.
Rose nnd his agents.
Tho wealth of Espcnooza was tho
chief topic of conversation during tho
trip, and when tho party reached tho
plains of Arizona and saw tho moun
tains in tho distanco they wondered
that they wcro not crowded with men
eagerly digging gold and copper from
tho rich veins which Dr. Rose said ex
isted in every mountain range.
Dr. Roso was an ingenious promoter,
and had exercised great euro and .much
concern in getting togothcr his guests
for tho western journey. Tho party
consisted entirely of persons who had
purchased Espcnooza stock. They were
going to Bee the mine for themselves,
and once they had seen it, Dr. Rose de
pended upon them to enlist others.
"Espcnooza has tho mineral," was
tho cry of tho genial, rotund, red-faced
doctor. "If tho Apaches don't bother
us wo will tako a look at tho greatest
mine on earth. It's really a wonder.
Not to mention tho copper doposits,
we havo ten squaro miles of placer gold
ground which will yiold from $3 to $G
a square yard, and my experts havo
figured that tho ground wo havo located
will rcquiro 20,000 years to work out,
tho minors working day and night
shifts, holidays included. Is it strange
that wo havo but a limited number of
shares of stock for salof "
Tho great San Simon plains spread
out to tho mountains, barren and life
less; but for bunches of amolo and
grcascwood hero nnd thero tho desert
claimed it completely. Tho most thrill
ing story related by tho doctor during
tho westward journey easily found pro
per setting hero in the waste of plains
and low hills through which tho train
sped. Tho only sign of Hfo tho travel
ers met with during tho first hour of
tho journey from Bowio wns a lonely
Indian, jogging along in tho distance,
his pony resembling a tired fox in tho
measured, mechanical trot. From this
spoctaclo of naturo's wastefulness tho
train soon reached tho irrigated por
tion of tho fertile Gila v.allcy, whoro
great fields of alfalfa embraced tho
desort, presenting a contrast restful to
tho oye.
"Thero," exclaimed Dr. Roso, point
ing to a mountain peak in tho distance,
"that's Old Turnbull standing guard
over Espenooza. It was that old moun
tain that guided my Columbus into this
country, and but for its oxistenco Es
penooza would probably nover havo
been discovered.
Tho journoy in tho private car was
complotcd at Gcronimo, a typical camp
productive of tho frontier. The doc
tor and his party woro welcomed by tho
superintendent of Espenooza, and tho
cosmopolitan population of tho littlo
camp.

tho camp to enforce tho territorial law
requiring cowboys to remove their
"guns" after sojourning in the camp
a half hour, and tho scarred and
patched hero of more than ono encoun
ter in tho Dead Dog saloon, swaggered
forward, swinging his big Bombrcro at
his side, and with his free hand out
stretched to receive tho gloved hand of
tho doctor.
"I'm suro tickled to see you, Doc,
an' mighty glad you brought yer fam
ily with you," exclaimed Firkins. "I've
always stated, in public as well as pri
vately, that no man with feelin' and
cultoor could bo satisfied to quit Ari
zona fur good once ho'd set his tracks
ontor her sun-kissed Bands."
As Firkins delivered his nddrcss of
welcome tho visitors noticed that he
wore a well-loaded belt and carried n
six-shooter in tho holster which swung
at his right hip. Thero was a forced,
extraneous expression of kindness in
his grizzled features, nnd tho big-booted
peace officer had never been known to
be so cordial in his greeting of strang
ers. Tho cowpunchers who happened in
camp that morning wondered what had
como over him.
Thrco Concord stago coaches, battered
by rough mountain roads and marked
here and thero by evidence of encoun
ters with Apaches in the days before
tho railroad came, wcro pressed into
scrvico to take the visitors to Espen
ooza mi no in the mountains. Each
coach was pulled by four horses and
typical drivers of the old days, booted,
bolted and provided with ammunition
nnd six-shooters, mounted tho scats.
"Mr. Firkins," said the genial doc
tor as tho big peace officer assisted in
helping tho last nicmbor of the party
into the coach, "you'r a credit to your
town nnd tho territory you'r a brick,
a"
But tho doctor did not havo timo to
finish his speech, for the driver at that
moment swung the whiplashes over tho
heads of tho ring-leaders with a crack
which set them to prancing, nnd with
a bound of tho wheel-horses tho great
coach Btartcd off down tho road lead
ing tho way over tho rising mesa to
wards tho mountains.
"That '8 corrok, Sid," exclaimed ono
of tho cowpunchers that followed tho
peace officer into the Dead Dog saloon
after tho coaches had disappeared in tho
folds of tho mesa road, "you'r a brick,
but not that-a kind yer friend' th' Doc
dcnls in."
III.
Tho morning star, that timo-picco
which the cowpunchers always look to,
was beaming in tho eastern sky closo
to tho horizon whon Red Wilkins
nwokc. Jumping into his big boots,
swiftly tying a 'kerchief about his neck
and pressing his hair back from tho
forehead, complotcd his morning toilet,
nnd Red was soon stirring tho ashes and
laying baro tho coals of tho camp flro
of tho night boforo. Tho flames shot
up, fed by dry twigs and fanned by
tho morning brcczo which camo down
tho canyon.
"Saddlo up, boys, nnd bo ready to
start whon wo get a bito to cat," woro
Forret's ordors as tho men rolled out
of thoir blankets. ," Wo'ro suro out
for a picnic today, an' if there's any
follors hero what don't want to tako a

ing eyes searching Red and myself ns
though wo might bo tho only mombors
of tho outfit unwilling to go out upon
tho mysterious round-up.
"There's no white feathers in my
crop," responded Red, "if it's a fnir
game."
I did not understand what tho boss
really meant, but nodded assont to
Red's declaration. Tho punchers seem
ed unusually happy, for adventuro to
them, no matter how dangorous, meant
a holiday and excitement and with

that a raid and stampedo of borne
sheep camp had been arranged. Red
evidently believed ns I did about the
mission of tho outfit, for ns ho swung
into his saddle he exclaimed, as .though
explaining to his horse the reason for
shell an early start: "01' Mullen's
sheep must be get tin' too thick on th'
range to" suit th' boos."
Hank took the lead iu tho trail which
led down tho canyon towards tho foot
hills and mesa. About ten miles from
our camp the boss reined off to tho left,
leaving the trail and spurring his horso
up tho sloping banks of tho bench
land, the men following quietly. Wo
had not gone far upon the mesa when
the boss stopped nnd alighted, which
was obeyed instantly by every man in
the outfit.
"I reckon this is good ground for a
picnic," said the boss; "what do you
fellers say?"
Tho boyB wero glad to get off and
rest after the early morning ride.
Stretched out on 'the ground, Hank
gazed intently in the direction of tho
Gila valloy, and seemed very much in
terested in a tiny spot of dust which
could bo Been miles away creeping along
tho mesa.
"That's them," exclaimed the boss.
"They'r nbout fifteen miles away and
won't get into the wash for three hours,
fur it's a hard pull up from Gcronimo."
"Look a-ycrc," shouted Red, jump
ing to his feet; "do you fellers mean to
go agin' th' law? Ar' you fixln' fur
a hild-up?"
Red knew more about holding up
stago coaches and robbing trains than
any man in tho outfit, nnd was at the
very moment n fugitive from justico in
Texas, where ho held up tho Sunset
Express single-handed a few months bo
fore.
His sharp eyes were turned on mo
for an instant during the silcnco which
followed and I realized that Red meant
what he said whon he gave it out that
ho was dona for good with acts of out
lnwrj. 'fPard, I don't liko to leave you here
but I'm goln' to quit," said Red. "It's
not a fair game."
"Look hero, Red," exclaimed Hank,
"do you think I would engage in a real
hold-up! Wo'ro just hero fur a timo
and to surprise that crowd coming yon
dor, and you nnd you'r pard and the
rest of this outfit lias got a chance now
to make moro money in the next fow
hours than .you could earn in a year
ridin' after cattle. Theso people what's
coming yonder aro tenderfoot in the
country thoy'r from tho east and nro
coming out hero in tho mountains to

Southwest used to do aforo th' cow

will havo a few hundred dollars in his
pockets and wo will get that and moro
ton. Tho Doc is willin' to pay fur tho
fun and tho eastern tenderfeet will talk
about it th' rest of their lives."
The dust spot on tho mesa had spread
and widoned, nnd from our point of
viovv it seemed that thero was a cara
van of wagons coming.
"But," exclaimed Red, "it will bo
a crimo just th' samo in th' eyes of
th' law if wo hold up and rob theso
people. Th' officers will huut usN out
fur it and wo'Jl havo to fight it out or

"Wo ain't robbers or desperadoes;
