COLLIER GANG DISBANDED FAMOUS CATTLE STEALING ORDER OF THE WEST, Detective of the National Livestock Association Unearths Secrets and the Doom of the Gang is Sealed Members Occupy High Social Po sitlons Reaches From Arizona to Canada. To cattlemen throughout the West and In parts of Colorado and Wyom lng the news of the disbanding of the famous "Circle Society," comes as cheering information, says the Denver Post. Charles P. Martin, secretary the National Livestock Association, received a report today telling of the work of Detective C. H. Wllkle I running the gang down. ur the 210 members all but about 20 have been captured. These 2i arc wanted badly by the officers, as they are still dangerous, owing to the oath of the society to kill any traitor. ine society nas us agents from Canada to Arizona. While Colorado cattlemen have suffered at times, the Dakotas and Wyoming have had greater cause to complain. It Is estimated that the gang has stolen i.uuu norses and 10.000 cat tie during the past few years, valued bi moro man naif a million dollars. Tnree years ago Detective Wllkle was put on the case. The detective comes iiom Pittsburg, but know the cattle business and the way of the outlaws. Obtained Their Secrets. tor more than a year he lived In Lyman county. South Dakota, the headquarters of the eanc. It was there that he collected his evidence and one by one the gang was arrest ed. Wllkle gives the names of 113 members of the gang. The rest are known as "Cow Jim" and other fit' ting names. Fifteen members of the gang have confessed and 11 have been found guilty. The trials of other members will be hurried with all due speed. The full report has not been made public, owing to a lack of evidence In some quarters. Enough Is known to show that a former well known Indian trader Is president of the gang. Wllkle says the Boclety has a ter rible oath that means death for any one that breaks It. An Ironclad vow puts each man on record as declar ing he will murder his best friend or own brother If he turns traitor and can expect the same treatment If he ever tells the secrets. This oath is of such a nature that It was only after many months that the detective gathered his chain of evidence. One of the prominent members has been living In Little Hock, Ark for some time. His wife has taken active part In society circles. No ar rests have been made In that section up to the present time. A PIONEER GAME. Athena Banker Tells Incident in Frank O'Hara's Early Experience. The honesty of gamblers was the subject of discussion and the Athe na banker told this story to the Ore gon ually Journal: I was In Pen dleton one night a number of years ago. It was during the good old days when everything was running wide opeu and no Tom Halleys had ap- peared to ruffle the placid waters of the sport s haven. "I dropped Into Prank O'Hara's gambling house and found one of my Athena freinds crazed with drink and with a pocket full of gold, 'buck ing' roulette. The fellow owned a big farm and had several thousand dollars In my bank. But he was fairly Insane from his drinking and was throwing out money by the hamlsful. "I walked up to the wheel and watched him. The man was winning but I knew about what the outcome would bo so I turned to O'Hara and asked how much the fellow was In. " 'About ?1G0,' responded O'Hara. 'But I don't want his money. Can't tell hliu anything though.' I reached out and counted out tlSU from the money scattered' on the table and What Shall We Have for Dessert?

After 25 years of indefatigable toil and a measure of public pleasure of a rational kind that few organlta - Hons can parallel, the Bostonians are coming back to us with new luster and a bulky volume of New York testimony that they never were In better form than at this moment. They appear to have entered on a putting it in my pocket left the place. O'Hara nodded his assent. Before morning my friend was broke and when he returned home several days later he came to the bank and thank ed me. If I had attempted to take the money off the average sport's table I would have had a mixup. ' O'Hara is what I call a square gam-; bier." WORSE THAN GAMBLING. John L, Sharpstein Says Speculating is Very, Very Bad. "Attorney Halley of Pendleton can stop gambling all right," remarks John I.. Sharpstein, a prominent Walla Walla lawyer, to the Oregon Dally Journal, "but what is. he going to gain? Men will gamble and If they cannot do It In one way they will In nnother. I cannot see where It Is any worse for them to stake their money on the turn of a card, the speed of a horse or a shake of a dice, than it Is to speculate In stocks real estate. One Is as much gamble as the other." Mr ShnrnstPhi Is an enthusiastic baseball fan and was manager of the wniin Wniin t.mm In mnl nnd 1902. Last year the team undsr another management failed. Mr. Sharpstein Is of the opinion that a team of semi-professional nature, and not too high-class, would prove a success this season. "Iloth Boise and Spo kane want to train In "Walla Walla this spring." he added, "and this would give the local nine plenty of opportunity to get into practice. My business will not permit me to take an active part in baseball this year' THE BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE. Santa Fe Orders the Largest Deca pod Engine In the World. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Ke railroad appears to maintain a mon opoly of the biggest locomotives. Ab soon as any other company ap- roaches the Santa Fe's leviathans In size or capacity the Atchison man agement orders something bigger and stronger. The latest type, the decapod. Is a favorite of President Ripley for heavy freighting. Includ- ng its loaded tender this locomotive elghs 450,000 pounds and can Haul on a level track a train or ioaaea cars moro than a mile long, equal to weight of over 6,000 tons. "What Is a decapod?" an engineer on tne Erie road was asKea uy a protesting commuter. "President Underwood needs one for his fast express," 'A decapod," replied the faithful employe addressed, "Is a lobster." Whether be was aware of It or not, thu answer as absolutely de scriptive. Tho name was derived from those crustaceans which havo 10 feet aud aro deliberate of motion. The lobster has 10 feet and moves slowly. The decapod locomotive has 10 driving wheels and Is slow. Isn't singular that a lobstor or crab should give a namo to a typo of locomotive- that is reducing the cost of transportation so materially that even bankrupt railroads can pay div idends?

PUBLIC SHEEPMEN OF SNAKE RIVER WILL UNITE. By Building Public Corrals on the Upper River, It Will Save Driving Their Herds Long Distances to Railroad Stations Boats Will Be Used to Get Wool to Market- It is not improbable that with the resumption of the upper river steam boat service large shearing sheds will be established at convenient points along the river for the ac commodation of the sheepmen of that country, says the 1-ewiston Tribune. The Tribune learned yes terday that large sheepmen of East- t,rn Oregon have started a move- a,1 mwaru mar. enu anu nave i prest-uica tne matter to parties Wen- , ,laeJ 'lth the upper river boat corn- . PaD"- w'th the view of having such parties install suecp sneanng ma' chines. While the important matter has as yet assumed no definite form, tho plans as discussed provide for es tabllshlng sheds near the mouth of tb Grand Ronde, at Cash creek bar or other points. ino ouject sougnt is to provide a 1 central shearing camp on each side of the river to accommodate both tne iuano and tho Oregon men. It Is estimated that at this time there are no less than 40,000 sheep ranging In the immediate vicinity of the stream Independent of the many thousands that aro ranged back In the high mountains. These sheep aro annually driven a great distance to tho shearing grounds and the wool then hauled by wacon perhaps 60 or 05 miles to rail transportation With shearing sheds on tho upper river tho saving to tho sheepmen would be a tremendous ono on trans portation alone, aside from having the advantage of Ideal shearing grounds along the river, without the expense of moving their sheep great distances. With thu malntalnanco of a regu lar boat service that will follow tho completion of the new boat, Moun lain Gem, tnero now seems every probability that the sheepmen of the upper Snake will realize thn great benefits suggested.
