Over iifty years ago, ere uteamboais bad yet plowed the waters of the Mississippi and its tributaries, and long before the iron home snorted upon the prairies and through the forests of the then Far

West, the Mississippi valley W«B Infest* id by oue of the most murderous, aunacrous, and thoroughly organised bands I of robber*, cot -throats, and outlaws that over cursed any country. They were known a* "the Murrell gang," taking their appellation front the nameot their leader. No man, exoopt perhaps criminal chieftain, ever knew how

4,:

there were of tbem, .but there is geod reason tor believing that they were nam

bered, not by scores, but by hundreds. I Their spies nod accomplices were a legion, and were distributed all along the river, from New Orleans up to Louisville and St. Louis, soraotimee extending their operations even still further northward, and seemed to be scattered through all passes of society. No phase of crime east* amiss to these scoundrels.

As occasion required or .opportunity, was afforded, they were by turns gamblers, murderers, thieves, counterfeiters, burglars, highway robbers, er confidence ssen. The bones of thousand of their victims bleached in the fbrests and rotted in the streams.

I 1U l*U9 Mreauw. people of Kentucky used to tuffer ach from the depredations of the

The.

WAR OF BCTEUQK4TI0X

against Murrell and the outlawsasStMited with him. In order that the reader

t.-of

to-day may understand how this choice was Ibrced upon them, a brief exnlaoatioa may bo neoewaury. All the II trading on the river at that time was done by means of Aatboata, which, freighted with flour, pork, wooL and other northern products, were floated down with the current to their de&tination—the Crescent City. The trip was a •4 perilous one, tor many a boat was attacked by MurreU's pSmtes, the crew murdered, its stoma piHaged, and this boat itself burned or scuttled. But the return Journey, after the tiatboetioan had moid his cargo, and had to go back by land to his home, was infinitely more dangerous. Protn the time that he recelved W* money, be would be eonstantfy osder surveillance by the 1 «getttsof ths J&ifxttt {pittg, sdl watching a chance to plunder him. The burkeeper who aslxsd Usdrisk, the hostler •who groomed his horse, the landlord who gave him abetter, the friends whose aaqoalataaee he made, even the merchant who dealt with him, and the bank clerk wh ished his drafts, might either or all u: them be secretly MurreU's spies, each ready, if they themselves would not imbrue their hands la his blood, to tit least sdviss otlMC** leas scrupulous, h*w most safely aad profltably to do so, provided they might share

In the spoils. The doomed man would not himself know much better than they how much gold ho carried In hla belt, how hs was armed and moanted, and how fltr be would have to travel to

The guilty man's name was Sam Otis, and he was A!* WVAUB.K AIXY T# ISCBHSIA'S

CIAKO.

His blacksmith shop was siinated tar the side of the highway. a few mllei back Of .\lfniiphis, and His house, in which lived his wife and two children, stood on a little eminence some twenty or twoniy-fivo yard* in she rear. To his sh*p two horsemen rode up one afternoon, enquiring the distance to Memphis, and profesaiug to desire the wort &«* on their horses' feet to be replaced by new ones. The blacksmith wont to work. As he Mood with his face to the forge, with his tight band stirring up the Are and his left upon the bellows lever, be did not obsorvy that his two customers had been Joined by a half dosen more, who silently and noiselessly entered the deor behind him. Turning to take op apalrof pincers, he found himself confronted by eight silent, stern

looking men. Instinctively recognising the Imminent peril Which environw him, be made a dnqxasAe s^ing toward the back of the shop, and was met by the muzzles of two cocked shot guna presented at his head. Wheeling be made a dash for the ftonS door of the shop, and there again found escajie cut off. Then he dropped his binds and stood still, resigning himself to his fete "Who are you, and what do you timntt" he demanded. "XamOuL James Bowie," responded an athletic tuaa stepping to thfe front, "and we want "JIVRREL'8 BLACKSMITH.**

For a short time Otis denied all knowledge of the feaadit leader or bis gang but hia captors threatened to bang faiwii he did not confess, and even went HO far as string him up twice to the rafters of his shop, each time choking him almost to death. Thus persuaded, he admitted that he had shod the horses ef Murrei's gang, had reversed them, and bad invented a shoe which could be almost instantly reversed, when fastened to the horse's foot. Beyend this, however, he denied all knowledge of the doings of the land pi raws and all complicity In their deeds of blood.

Bowie tied the man snd searched his premises. At the back of his shop, near Fy concealed by what appeared to be empty Sour barrels, they round a door lending to a subterranean passage. The barrels were fastened to the door by strips of heop Iron, and easily swung to and fro. When in place, no stranger would have imagined their real use but when thrown back they revealed an open passage way some live feet wide by eight fret in height. It was only by a&ident that this was discovered. Otis, when the discovery was made, paled moil a! meet tainted. Pursuing the.

they found that it communicated with the oellar of the blacksmith's house, on the little knoll above* in two places snrest chambers Were dug out, to serve ibd purpose of stables, and in one of those Ave horses were fband with their shoes reversed. One of these horses was recognised, by a man named Barnes, in Bowie's band, as having belonged to his brother, who had mysteriously disappeared while on his way homeward from New Orleans to Kentucky, nearly seven moaths befere, A loathsome, heavy odor ef corruption weighted down the clammy atmosphere of these dark and dismal chambers, and a search with pick 1 sljovel soon reveals its cause.

were found beneath the earth floors of the two underground stables. l/pon some of them still remained the clothes they wore In life and one of them Barnes believed was that of bis brother, although the grounds of his recognition were necessarily very alight. Otis, now thoroughly terrified, fell upon his knees, hogging for mercy, and msde a full confession.

iliustratlveof ft|ie*ruthless character of the Bowio hunt after the Murrell gang, transpired at the Memphis levee, and a well worthy of recital here:

For the purpose of catching some of the gang who confined their operations mainly to river robberies and massacres, the Bowies fitted out at the town of Henderson a large trading boat, and started it floating down the stream. Only one man and a woman were upon it, and Murrell's spies quickly learned that it bad a valuable cargo on hoard. The intelligence of its apparent defenseless condition and its richness as a prize was conveyed down the river far ahead of its progress, and long before it arrived at Memphis the pirate gang there had laid tneir plans for its capture.

It was late in the evening when this trading boat tied up at the Memphis wharf, and scarcely had she been made fast, when fourteen of

XURRKIX'S CUT-THBOATS^

boarded her, under pretense of a desire to trade. No sooner %vere they all safely housed inside her cabin than they became convince^ that they bad fallen into a trap. On every side they were covered by a score of shot guns. Twenty big brave men, with the dreaded Col. Bowie at their head, demanded "surrender." Panic stricken the pirates obeyed the order of "Hold up your hands," and without the firing of a shot, or the striking of a blow, all were made prisoners and securely tied. Tliey were recognized as well known criminals, whose several crimes wore richly de serving of the penalty of death, and not much lime \vas wasted in determining »,

THEIR PATH.

Nearly at the top of thp bluff lay huge tree, whioh had fallen in some violent gale, and remained in a position parallel WHh the face of the steep acclivty. Prom the trunk of this tree Col. Bowie's men speedily cut the branches, cutoff the roots and severed the top, leaving a ponderous log some fifty feet long and nearly three feet in diameter at the butt. To this log they bound securely the fourteen pirates, eadh of whom was tied lengthwise of the timber. Then a few minutes' grace was given, for re-

little aetital good. The hardened crim inals to whom it was accorded either felt that they were quite past praying far, or else knew that the time was far too short to repent of lives like theirs. They always spent the few minutes in vain appeals fbr mercy or desperate imniNSttloniL fitoSli was the oonduct of he fourteen doomed scoundrels, tied to tho log on the Memphis bluff, this memorable night. Deaf alike to petitions and curaee, Bowie and his bsnd stood walttttg tn the red glsreofthe torchlight, their hwder sternly tinting the seconds as they flew (iy. 'STABT THE LOO, name in stentorian tones from the Itps of the avenger's chieftain. A dosen strong men, each with a rough handspike tn his hands, stepped forward and applied their energies in obedience to the com* mand. A nowl of terror broke from the fourteen doomed men.
