Frederick linns of Omaha, Chief of the Northwestern Hand It II u liters, Uaa Had a Thrilling Career Train Bob bins; Growing Unpopular Managers of Western railroads are -making extra efforts to entirely wipe out the bandit gangs that have been very active during tho past few years. Tho Union Faclllc, tho Ilurliugton, Hock Island and Northwestern, out of Omaha, are arming their messengers anew with Winchester "pump guns," having new shells with sixteen buck shots each, loaded for them and In other ways aro preparing to extermi nate the first road agent band that at tempts to hold up one of their trains. In addition every large railroad operat ing out of Omaha employs from one to a dozen men whose exclusive duty It Is to protect tholr trains from bandit raids, trail tho robbers after they hold up tho train and chase them Into tho fastnesses of the mountain or get them killed. Chief of Itandlt ltnntere. Of all the famous Western charac ters who have made bandit hunting a business none Is better known than Frederick linns, of Omaha, who Is chief of tho Northwestern bandit hunt ers. For years It has been the business of Frederick liana to protect tho treas ure trains of that company operating through the Black Hills. From Dead wood to Omaha the Northwestern car ries the treasures of the great Home stake mine. In some months this com pany ships over a hundred thousand In treasure over this Hue. The lines of tho company are operated through a wild and desolate section for many miles after leaving Deadwood. It Is a most Inviting spot for the work of road, gents. The fact that these trcasuro 'trains escape tho raids of bandits Is .undoubtedly duo to tholr fear of the , man' who is tho head of tho forco of bandit hunters tho company employs. Frederick Hans Is a in I Id mannered fellow with bluo eyes nnd' of most affa ble address. As he saunters along tho streets of Omaha ho is about tho last man In tho world ouo would pick out for desuerate work with rifle nnd ro- I volver. Vet this same pleasant fellow I with his careless smllo has been In 'more desperate affrays with road agents, killed mora outlaws nnd Ecnt mi .a .li.i nmiltnntln plna 4liti,vfi iti.t UJU1V tvr wv iwu..v.a..u.i. i.tiuuM tuu West than any man lmtho West to-day. "Fred," as he Is known to nine-tenths of tho people of Omaha, Is constantly on the move. He has a wlfo and three babies In Omaha that he gets a chauce to sou onco In a month or so, but most of his tlmo Is spent "up In tho Hills," circulating among that element that Is most likely to engngo In holdups. It Is bis business to locate all these charac ters the moment a train Is held up In bis territory. Thus he can very nearly place the responsibility for a train rob bery on the Northwestern tho day after It occurs. Incidentally, It may be said that Hans carries a considerable num ber of bullet wounds on his person slight testimonials of his many desper ato fights. 6am pics of IMa Darinsr. One of his most daring deeds was go ing Into the "Hole In tho Wall" aft,er "Sbackua&ty" Jim and his outlaw band when he killed the leader and two of bis companions before be returned. Again he met live members of his fam ous Robbers Itoost gang one bright morning on the Ilunning water In South Dakota. He had but shortly before that been Instrumental lu piloting a posse of Custer citizens to the laJr of the band, where nine of them had been killed, and they thought to get even. The live road agents waited until Hans rode close to the sand hill behind which they were hiding, then rode down on blm, firing their rifles as they galloped up. A fortunate shot passed through the heart of the horse that Hans was tiding. Using the animal for a breast work the railroad bandit hunter got out his heavy pistols and began busi ness right there. He only shot four times. The first bullet he fired passed through tho heart of tho nearest rob ber, the next one struck one of the horses of the oncoming gang and killed It, the third bullet passed through tho bead of another bandit, killed him in stantly and the fourth passed through tbe body of one of tho gang and he KUKDKIHGK HANS. died later. The two remaining mem bers of the band surrendered and were taken Into Ouster by Hans. The men he killed were known as "Texas," Fleet Foot and Mountain Pete. The other two, Long Tom and Skinny, were sent to the penitentiary for life. From his experience he believes thnt train robbing has been made so dan gerous for the robbers of late that It is losing Its popularity and will totally disappear In a few years. Nowadays It Is not the act of robbing a train thnt requires the greatest exhibition of skill and daring, but rather the escape after tho crime has been committed. In rob bing a train tho baud Btands llttlo chance of opposition. Passengers aro as a rule unarmed nnd the express mes sengers are not lu a position to mnko much of a fight The use of dynamite by road agents Is a terrifying element for express messengers. The miuuto tho bandits start to mnkc their escape, however, they come in contact with fighting men who are as well armed and well mounted as Oiey, and know how to use their guns. This is the element of danger that deters many bandits from attacking n railroad trilu. I'repnrliiK for n Hold-Up. When a gang contemplates a hold-up now the first thing they do Is to ar range .for their escape. A route of rc trcat Is selected and tho bandits go over the trail so that they can follow It night or day. They frequently se creto food for themselves and horses along the route and lny lu plenty of ammunition. Tho Black Hills and tho country lu Southern Wyoming are fa vorite resorts for train robbers theso days. Hero most of the desperate road agents live. They must have the best horses money will buy, they must get a city crook as a rule to imndlo the dy namite, they must have white powder for their guns lu tho event of a colli sion with n posse, .which Is quite cer tnln, nnd a thousand il'tlc details. Tho minute tho news of a holdup Is flashed over tho wire, a posse from a dozen different points Is started, These close In on tho robbers. Tho rond agents aro afraid to Bpllt up In the fnco of a pos sible fight They know they will bo killed one at a tlmo if they do not stick together. Thnt Is their only chnuce, and, of course, it mnkestho trail easier to follow. Tho bnndlts are of the most desperate class of men. They know thnt sooner or Inter thoy will die with boots on. Most of them are wanted for some crime thnt would keep them In tho penltentlnry for life nuywns, If not carry them to tho scaffold. Under theso conditions they will not surren der. Their only chance of freedom lt to light and they will fight to the death. To tlcnl with such charnqters may bo exciting, but the grent majority of peo ple will not envy tho position of Fred erick Hnus. ' THE LAC INDUSTRY OF ASSAM. An Important Product thnt Flu-urea In the Mecltiinlcnl Art. L Lac occurs u Its natural stutoin vari ous parts of the' f (Tresis of Assam, as well oh of Hurmn, but chiefly In parts of the Kliasl nnd Gnro hills, and tho export lu receut years has averaged 10,000 mnunds, or something over 500 tons, but lu sotuu of the forests, owing to the ravages of tho Kolnazar epi demic nnd depopulation, tho production Is declining. The pioductlon In Muni pur Is not sulllcleut for tho local needs, ami quantities of tho lac aro sent there from the Kubo valley of Assam. The lac Is all sent away from Assam In the crude form, or stick luc; shell nnd but ton lac are made, to boiuu extent, but lnc dye Is not now prepared lu Assam, nnd lacquer wares nro only produced In two places, so that this once consid erable Industry would seem to bo dying out. The black lacquer of Mtiulpur Is really uot n lac preparation at till, but only the Juice of a tree sent from the Kubo vnlley. In Assam the lnc Is usually collected twlco a year, first In May and June, and then In October uud November. Tho first Is mainly used for seed pur poses, while tho second forms the ex port. A few days after tho collection pieces of stick lac containing living Insects aro tied on to the brunches of thq trees In which tho next crop Is to be grown. Tho usual plan Is to place the lnc In small bamboo baskets nnd tie these to tho twigs of the trees. Tho bi sects soon crawl out and spread over tho young branches, on which they promptly begin to feed nnd secrete tho resin. Tills Is allowed to go on for about six months, when the lnc is col lected; but If the secretion has been defective or Insufficient, the Insects re main undisturbed fa? another six months.
