ROCKY MOUNTAIN i TOM AND THE "BLOODY ESPINOZAS" Back In the sixties in the Colorado gold camps around Pike's Peak the warning The Bloody Espinozas are coming!" struck more terror to the hearts of the miners than the dread cry "Indians 1 Indians The Bloody Espinozas were two Mexicans, brothers.

The older, Juan Espinoza, believed' that he had a special mission to kill all Americans. He ambushed, them In the daytime and crept upout them at night. His record of murders', is said to have totaled 32., In lSKt he killed two well-known prospectors of California Gulch, near Leadvllie, i. Their comrades vowed vengeance on the Espinozas, and after a long chase -and -a hard battle, they killed the youngest brother. Juan escaped and the next year he was back in his old haunts in the Sangre de Cristo mountains robbing: stage coaches and wagon trains and murdering settlers and miners.

He took his nephew with him on these raids, -and they grew so bold that a reward of $1,500 was offered for their capture, dead or alive. At this time there was living at Fort Garland a little Irishman called Kocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobin was his real name, and he was a close 'riend of Kit Carson. He was one of the best mountain trailers. When the report of the Espinozas' latest murder was brought to-the fort Tobin immediately volunteered to go after the bandits.

Setting out took their trail and stuck with It, although It led into the wildest parts' of the Sangre de Cristos. Late one evening he saw from a distance two men encamped under the shelter of a shelving rock above a little stream. Stalking the two- bandits' as he would wild animals, the scrtut crept closer and closer. He knew they could not be taken alive, and he dared not take the chance of missing his first i shot. The Mexicans were crouched -over a tiny flame warming their hands hut in the dim light they offered poor '-tarpet eveu for so good a marksman as Rocky Mountain Toin.

At lust Juan Esplnosa rose. He stretched both arms wide, forming with Ids body a prefect cross and presenting a target which loomed up plainly against the background of a sky aglow withtjie sunset. Tobin fired "and the Mexican murderer fell dead across his camp fire. The nephew scrambled to ids feet." The scout fired Again, and the last-of the Espinoza dropped dead. A lew days later walked Into- Fort Garland, carrying a sack, and de manded a reward of $1,500.

The "sack contained the heads of the Bloody Espinozas. HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF "BUFFALO BILL" When the Kansas Pacific railroad was being built Kansas in -1867-fi8 4t was necfessary to provide food for an army of more than 1,500 I rack-layers. A source of supply was near at hand-vast herds of buffalo andmen were hired to do nothing else -but kill these animals for food. One of the best-known the; hunters was -William Frederick Cody, a young frontiersman who had been a pony express nder and guide for General Custer. The work was dangerous, for the Indians did, all they could to stop progress in the They especially bated these hunters who killed more buffalo In one day than they destroyed in week, and Cody took his life iu his hands every time he went out.

He soon became such an expert hunter that the railroad men gave him the nickname of "Buffalo During Cody's career as a buffalo hunter, a period of -18 months, he Killed a total of 4,280 bison. His greatest, exploit was his victory- over Billy Comstock, a scout and rival hunter. The matgh was arranged by officers of Fort Wallace to- decide which of the two men was the greatest slayer of bison. They were to hunt, one day of eight hours, and the man who, killed the greatest number of the animals was to be declared the champion, buffalo-hunter, A herd was found and separated Into two hunches.

And he was looking at her now In such an agony of shame ag It Is veVy In "this world the1 lot of man to know. He tried to speak, but no words came.

His future he had bullded in, those early years upon-a foundation of Without "the foundation "there, could be no superstructure. He had drifted and drifting things float downward always to the sea.
