WYOMING BANDITS
TRIED A BANK HOLD-UP.
One of Thom Killed n f'nNliier— Buf
falo Mill to Take the Trail.
Cody, Wyo.. Nov. 1. —Four heavily
armed outlaws from the Hole-in-the-
Wall country, held up and robbed the
First National Bank of this place to
day and after shooting and killing
Cashier Frank Middaugh of the bank,
had a running fight with cowboys and
hunters and escaped into the Rattle
snake mountains, where they are to
night being pursued by half a dozen
different posses.
A battle is imminent. The Hole
in-the-Wall gang are noted as the
most desperate outlaws in the West,
and the Cody posses are determined
to wipe the bandits out of existence.
"Buffalo Bill" himself is en route
from Omaha in a special car, having
with him a party of titled Englishmen
and two of his Sioux Indian scouts,
and has telegraphed orders for
horses to be waiting his party at the
depot. He will take the trail in per
son immediately on his arrival.
Just before the close of the bank this
afternoon a party of four roughly
dressed men rode up to the First Na
tional Bank, in the heart of the town
and immediately across the street from
the Irrrfa, "Buffalo Bill's” Hotel.
Three men dismounted and entered
the building, the fourth remaining
outside to guard the horses.
As soon as the outlaw's entered the
bank, one of them covered Cashier
Middaugh. who was the only occupant
of the room, demanded the cash from
the vault.
Instead of complying Middaugh grab
bed a revolver 'and made a game fight
for life and money, firing several shots,
even before the outlaw leader could
fire at the bunker, but Middaugh was
excited and his bullets went wild,
while the single shot sent from the
outlaw’s gun passed through the bank
er’s brain and he died instantly.
Cody, Wyo., Nov. I.—One of the
posses, led by Sheriff Jeff Champion,
overtook the outlaws at dusk, twenty
miles southwest of Cody, and a battle
ensued In which Champion had a horse
shot under him. but was uninjured.
The bandits obtained fresh horses at a
ranch nearby, and escaped.
PUTS IT ON THE JEWS.
Russia Tries to Slinw Riots Were
Antl-C’hrlstian.
Gomel, Russia. Nov. I.—The trial of
the persons charged with being respon
sible for the antl-Jewish riots here in
September, 1903, is proceeding slow
ly, and w ith open doors, and Is attract
ing great Interest. There are eleven
defendants, and sixty-nine other per
sons who are under the same charges
are being held under ball.
The government’s witnesses are at
tempting to prove that the disorders of
Sept. 11. 1903. were in the nature of
anti-Christian riots and not of an anti-
Jewish character. It is claimed that
the first riot was organized by Jews
to take vengeance for the Kishineff
affair, while the rioting two days after
was a retaliation upon the Jews.
The government produced evidence to
prove that the Jews were thoroughly
organized and armed and had prear
ranged signals, regular leaders, adopt
ed a provocative attitude towards the
Christians, and acted overbearingly
insulting peasants in the streets and
Jostling them off the sidewalks. The
affair of Sept. U. it Is added, grew
out of a trilling quarrel between a
Christian forester and a Jewess over
the purchase of a herring.
The total result of the rioting was
three non-commissioned officers, two
soldiers, two Jews and two Christians
killed and four Christians and four
Je.ws wounded. A number of police
men were also killed or wounded.
About 250 houses and shops of Jews
were pillaged.

TRAIL OF JAGUAR.

From Outing.
The trails of the jaguar are many,
but they nearly all lead to a river, for
water appears to be more needful to
the tiger than to any other of the cat
family. And this Is not that he actu
ally drinks more, so far as I can learn.

but rather because along the water
ways he finds an easy and abundant
food In the river hog, in the small
deer that come down to drink, and in
the fish that swim plentifully. in all
these streams.
In the Rio de la Plata, just off
Buenos Ayres, is an island where one
time a number of jaguars lived and
thrived practically on the fish they
caught, for there was nothing else on
their visiting the mainland, because of
the Island, and none ever heard of
its settlement, and not on account of
the distance to shore, for the tiger Is
a strong, bold swimmer, and minds no
river of South America,, not the widest,
if he wishes to reach the opposite
bank. He is a patient, unerring fish
erman, watching for long periods 'from
some vantage point, which may be
either a fallen tree trunk extending
into the stream or at the bank's edge,
until a victim appears, when, with a
lightning blow, he hurls the fish out
on to the bank or clutches it as it
swims past.
While the swamp Jungle and the
water courses are his habitat, yet the
jaguar will make incursions upon dry
ground If cattle or horses or dogs or
poultry offer, and river food happens
to be scarce, or, for the time being,
more difficult to secure. I heard sev
iei*al 'trustworthy accounts of cattle
and colts killed by the jaguar, though
his ravages are not so frequent as once
they were, owing to his further in
land habitat. His method of killing
animals of this size Is literally to stalk
them up wind, that no scent may reach
the victim, and then to spring on their
back, fastening teeth and claws in
the neck; with smaller animals the
Jaguar springs for the neck at once
and appears to prefer the hindquarters
to the stomach, which Is left for the
vultures that are omnipresent In the
open country.
Tiger is a much noisier animal than
any other of the feline family, partic
ularly at night, and roams the jungle
disdainful of lesser beats in his man
ifest superiority. And he is without
doubt absolute king of the South Amer
ican forest; there is literally none to
dispute his domain, none even worthy
to do him homage, for the puma,
which Is fairly plentiful. Was as little
the courage of his convictions in South
as in North America, t ■
