"EASY MONEY" DIDN'T PAY
The -wild bunch found it out at laaU-From "Hole-in-the-Wall" they
rode to rob and slay, getting $500,000 in seven years, but they died with
their boots on or lay In prison cells.

Yea don't have to try It to
prove that!
Ask any old-time detective,
who has seen criminals rise, flour
ish for a time, then spend the
rest of their lives in prison or in
exile.
Ask the four surviving mem
bers of the "Wild Itiiin h" who are
hiding in Chili—or were a year
or two ago—what tlioy liave to
show for their career of crime.
Fifteen years ago there wat/t
a more daring band of criminals
in the world than this "Wild
Bunch," as they called them
selves. You've heard of them—of
the famous "Hole-in-the-wall"
bandits. From 1895 to 1902 they
terrorized the West and South
west, from Wyoming to Texas.
After each crime they sought
refuge in the "Hole-in-the-wall"
country in Wyoming until the
hue and cry subsided, when they
would return to Texas.
"Black Jack" Ketcham was
their leader, with "Bill" Carver
as chief lieutenant. Then there
was Sam Ketcham, Elza Lay,
Lonny and Harvey Logan, also
known «b the Curry Brothers,
"Flat Nose George" Curry, Bob
Lee, "Deaf Charlie" Hanks,
"Butch" Cassidy, Harry Long
baugh, also called the "Sundance
Kid," and Ben Kilpatriok, the
"Tall Texan.".Two women, too—
Laura Bullion and Etta Place.
Robbing railroad t#%lns and
country banks was their criminal
specialty. They robbed the Butte
County Bank at Bell* Fourche,
N. D., in June, 1897; held up the
Union Pacific express train at
Wiloox, Wyo., In June, 1899; held
up another Union Pacific train at
Tipton, Wyo., in August, 1900,
and * month later robbed the
First National bank of Winne
mucoa, Nev., of $32,640 In gold.
In June, 1901, they took $40.
--500 In bank notes from a Great
Northern train at Wagner, Mont.
And these were only some of the
larger of a hundred or more rob
beries that netted the "Wild
Bunch" more than half a million
dollars in seven years.
Easy money.
Not at the price they paid.
Listen—
"Black Jack" Ketcham was
hanged at Clayton, N. M., for kill
ing Sheriff Kdward Farr, who
was trying to arrest him for a
train hokl-up.
"Bill" Carver was killed in
Texas while resisting arrest for
a murder committed in Sonora.
Sam Ketcham died in the New
Mexico penitentiary of wounds
received in "a fight with a sher

Elza Lay is serving a life term
in New Mexico for his share in
the Cimarron train robbery.
Lonny Logan was , killed in
Missouri while 'resisting arrest.
"Flat Nose George" Curry
was killed in Utah while resisting
arrest.
Bob Lee has Just finished ten
years in the Wyoming peniten
tiary for hi* part in the Wilcox
train robbery.
"Deaf Charlie" Hanks was
killed in San Antonia while re
sisting arrest.
Ben Kllpatrick, "The Tall
Texan," is finishing a fifteen
year sentence at Atlanta for the
Great Northern robbery, and
Laura Bullion did two years and
a half at Jefferson City for her
share in this crime.
Harvey Logan got a twenty
year sentence for the Great
Northern robbery, but on Novem

his guards at KnoxvlHe, Term.,

also poses as Longbaugh'a wife,
went to Argentina. Ail of them
were experts with horse and
rifle. Etta Place is a markswoman
equalled by few men, and with
what they had left of their share
of the loot they bought a ranch
in the interior. Here they were
joined later by Harvey Logan.
For two yean they raided

EASTER ISLAND IS THE
RIDDLE OF SOUTH SEAS

thropology, University of California, an authority on Easter Is
land; and one of the images car vecl out by the natives; also a
portion of one of the ruined platforms.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2.—
Easter island, the riddle of the
Pacific!
Situated 2000 miles from the
nearest continent, rock-bound
and storm-swept, this small, deso
late Island, the farthest outpost
of the Polynesian group, has earn
ed the title of "The Mystery of the
Pacific."
This Hpinx of the oceans and
its nearly extinct inhabitants have
proven a baffling problem to
•dentists and explorers of mod
ern times. It is said by some to
be the remnant of a submerged
continent and declared by others
only to have been inhabited by an
advanced race of natives.
The Easter islanders were the
only natives of the Pacific islands
who had developed the art of
writing. Their inscriptions are
on wooden tablets and bear a re
markable resemblance to ancient
Babylonian. These hieroglyphics
have never been deciphered.
This mysterious people was a
race of idol worshipers and had
mastered to some degree the art
of sculpture and masonry.
On the island, which is about
50.square miles in extent, are im
mense platforms facing the sea,
formed of large stones fitted to
gether, some of which weigh five
tons, and in places the sea aide of
the walla are 30 feet high and
over 200 feet long. On these plat
forms " stand colossal figures
carved out of lava from an extinct
crater, eight miles away.
On some of these bases were a

There are also remains of ston

Woman of 60 Wins Footrace
With Fleet-footed Opponent
The Puget Sound country la the
only place on earth where women
of 60 can go out and win foot
ranee.
At the big Fox Island residents'
ptcnfc Monday one of the event*
was a women's foot race. Twelve
lined up at die tape and . went
away at the word go. But Mrs.
George Beck, 60, and a young
woman who has a reputation for
fleetneas pulled right away from
the buncb. At the 60-yard mark
they were neck and neck and all
the way they ran it abreast, end
ing In a tie.
One hundred yards is a pretty
good run for the best of them, but
Mrs. Beck was not daunted.
"Ix-tV run It again—I didn't do
my best," she said, and her young
antagonist consented.
Without a bit of rest they
started again. The young woman
forged to the front, and in 50
yards was six yards r.head. Then
the venerable racer started. In
20 yards she had cut the distance
to a foot, in another moment she
swept past and at the finish she
jumped to the tape 10 good feet
ahead.
"I could do It six times a day
and never feel it," commented
Mrs. Beck when someone compli
mented her on her sprlghtlinesa.
