A DEADWOOD POSSE.
ITS BILL AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT FOR HUNTING HORSE THIEVES.
Turned Down by the Treasury Depart-
ment—The Department of Justice Sent a Man Out to Investigate--His Report Was
Conclusive and Picturesque.
Some years ago, said the philosopher, before troliey cars came in and beared the horse market there were numerous crowds of organized horse thieves in the wild and woolly west who, when not engaged in the serious occupation of horse lifting, varied their afternoons by little stage rob- beries and incidental murders. One of these outfits in the neighborhood of Dead- wood became especially annoying to the authorities and to those citizens who were happy or unhappy in the possession of a pony. Finally patience ceased to be a vir- tue, and the orders came from headquar- ters to the niarshal of the district to or- ganize a posse and bring the gang in so that retribution could be meted out, Ina short time the department of justice was informed that the posse had been formed, had gone on the hunt and had returned with three prisoners, who were turned over to the authorities and whose fate is not set down in legend or song.
After a time, however, the department here was grieved by receiving without ex- planation a bill, .reading ‘‘the United States government, debtor to the Deadwood posse, $12,000 for the expenses of catehing three horse thieves.’’ Although with a doubting mind, the department sent the bill to the treasury department. The treasury did not spend a moment in doubt- ing, but with a promptitude and a harsh- ness born of long experience turned the bill down—in fact, turned it upside down. The auditor did not content himself with a turndown, but added some American language about people who wanted $4,000 apiece for catching everyday horse thieves when the variety could be picked up any day on the road for $10 a head. The auditor closed with some uncomplimentary allusions to a department that would send up such accounts. The department of justice felt even more grief at this rebuke than at the receipt of the original bill and sent a friend of mine, whe was in the service, out to investigate the account, °
This man went out to the Deadwood neighborhood with a mind filled with prejudice. He did not want to go to Dead- wood at all At any rate he began to take testimony.
His first inquiries consisted of an in- formal talk with the big leader of the posse, and what he learned went some- thing like this:
‘‘How many members were there to that horse thief gang?’’
‘Well, about 25.’""""™
‘* And you captured three
‘‘Yes, we put three of them in jail.”
‘*Have tho rest of the gang been giving any trouble since then?’’
‘Well, no. They haven’t troubled us none.”’
‘**Then you must have captured the lead- ers?’’
‘‘No. Can’t say they was. The three we brought in didn’t amount to much. They only cooked and carried water for the rest.’
‘*Umph.,”’
That closed the first round, and after light refreshment the inquiry took a new line, the man from the department having taken on some additional prejudice re- garding the case.
‘Well, how many were there in that posse of yours?”’
‘Stranger, there was just 24.”
‘“‘Umph! Five hundred dollars apiecs. How long were you out?”’
‘‘We was out exactly 12 days.”
“Whew! One thousand dollars a day.”
“We've got to get at this thing some way. What did you do the first day?”
‘*Well, we rode and trailed.”’
** And the second’’—
‘“‘That day we surprised the horsies in camp.”’
**Did you fight?”
‘Well, we fit some.’’
**Were any cf the thieves hurt?”’
‘*Some six of them Were shot up consid erable.’’
** Killed?”
“We buried them.”

eno third dayr*”
‘*We rode like h—1.”’
“The next?’’
‘‘We come on to the horsies as they was crossing a ford.’’
**Any thieves hurt?”
‘*We buried five of them afterward.”’
“The fifth day?’’
**We trailed and hunted horses separate- ly.”” ** Any fighting?’
‘‘Well, there was considerable shooting and cutting. I believe fivo of them waa ready for the resurrection.’’
‘‘What about the sixth day?”
“That day we got the drop on ‘six of then: in a canyon and had them tied be- fore they knew it.’”’
‘*What did you do with them?’
‘Well, stranger, the boys hanged them six. Being an officer of the government, of course I didn’t take no hand in it, but kept my back turned until it was all over. The next day we caught the last three. They threw wp their hands soon as we got in shooting range. The boys was going to hang them, too, but I said: ‘No! No, siree. The United States government has sent you out to catch these horse thieves; the United States government is paying good wages, and expenses, and Vu be d——4d if the United States government shan’t get something for its money. These three horse thieves goes quietly back to jail. Besides,’ I says, ‘they ain’t uo regular horse thieves, anyway; they’s only cooks and watermen.’ Then we rode peaceful back to camp, being 200 miles therefrom.’’
My friend was @ little weak by this time, but he managed to continue.
‘‘Wasn’t anybody in your party hurt?”
“Oh, yes. We was all considerable shot and cut up.”
‘* Anybody killed?’’
‘*Fourteen of the boys was killed out- right and two has died since then.”’
‘**What was your idea of disposing of the $12,000 you have asked?”’
‘‘Well, the boys thought the survivors ought to get about $25 apiece for their services, and that the widders and orphans ought to take the rest.’’
‘Colonel, will you take a drink?”
**Some!’’
Then the man from the department sent a telegram to his chief saying that the Deadwood bill was all right, and that the auditor was an ass.
The philosopher said he did not know whether the moral of his story was that treasury auditors did not know as much as they thought they did or that horse thieves were worth more dead than alive. —Washington Star
