CASEY OUTLAW.
Jlort Perkins Iu Oklahoma Prison
Last of Band of Famous Out-
Laws—He Ruled Over
panions.
The attempt now being made to
secure a parole for Mort Perkins
serving a life sentence in the McAl-
ester penitentiary, recalls the Bert
Casey band of outlaws, the last or-
ganized gang to operate in Oklahoma.
Casey was an inhuman, cunning,
treacherous leader, who killed even
his own men if they chanced to op-
Jlort Perkins, eGorge Moran, a part
blood Chickashaw Indian and several
others. The homesteaders showed
fight and in the melee young Ray
Beenblosom was killed. The bandits
made their escape into the Chickasaw
country.
Fatliqr Turns Detective.
Wi.hin the next Jew days the gang
robbed a cattleman's outfit and Per-
kins took from the cattleman a lady's
gold watch, a small, inexpensive af-
fair that the cattleman had borrowed
from his daughter before starting on
the trip. Perkins also visited the
pose his plans. His band, all told.1 farm home of a -sweetheart In the

numbered two dozen or more men,
scattered throughout old Oklahoma
and Indian Territories. All owed al-1
legiance to Casey and were expected
to report for duty when called. Fin-
ally he met death with his boots on,
killed by one of his own en.
It was association with this outlaw I
leader that got -Mort Perkins, a Mis- [
souri boy into the trouble for which ;
he is now serving a life term, the mur .
der of a ten year old boy in a camp I
of homesteaders near Rush Springs!

Comanche Indian country to white
settlement in laOl. Perkins, now per-
Chickasaw country and demanded
she leave the country with him. She
consented, but her mother objected
Perkins saddled her horse and she
mounted ready to start, when Per-
kins said: "Kiss your mother good-
bye; you'll never see her again."
This made the girl balk. Dismoun-
ting instantly she defied Perkins, de-
clared she would not accompany him,
and dared him to lay hands on her.
Perkins pleaded and threatened, dis-
playing a six shooter, raged and
swore, but the girl was stronger in
mantality of the two, and unarmed
and unafraid she bluffed the outlaw
guard over Moran and Perkins in the
1 church during the trial. The town
i was tilled with bad men from all ov-
i er tht territories and a battle royal
j was imminent at any time. v
i The trials consumed several weeks
time and a strong effort was made to
break down the government's evi-
dence in proving an alibi for Moran.
! In searching the Moran house, how-
| ever, Madsen had found false whis-
I kers and a mask worn by Moran in
| the Rush Springs hold up. and these
| were used against the defendants.
I They were convicted and sentenced
to tne penitentiary for life. Moran
was paroled several years ago by
Governor C. N. Haskell, but Perkins'
application was turned down.
Recently, however, at the urgent re-
quest of Perkin s sister, who has made
several trips from Missouri to Okla-
homa in his behalf, the application
for Perkins' parole has been signed by
both Judge Gillette, who tried him, and
Horace Speed, who prosecuted him.
Dunn gthe past week Madsen heceiv-
ed a letter from Perkins, asking him
to recommend a parole. He has prom
ised to return to Missouri and lead an
exemplary life. In the prison he has
become an expert leather worker, a
maker of harness and saddles.
Casey Attempts a Rescue.
Following the capture of Moran and
Perkins, Bert Casey sent word that
he would come to Lawton with a band
of his followers and rescue them.
Immediately the force of deputy mar-
shals was strengthened, including
Chris Madsen, Heck Thomas, who
died recently, Bill Fossett, Jim Bour-
land and others. Only recently Casey
had killed Sheriff Smith of Caddo
county, robbed the bank of Mountain
View and hanged Luke Houston to'a
tree in Washita county, and riddled
the body with bullets. Casey and
several pals had discovered that
Houston was a spy, sent out by Dep-
uty Madsen to watch their movements
and they killed him.
With Casey at the time were Fred

City to more serious crimes in the
| territories, and finally to join the
Bert Casey band during the 90 s.
j It was an easy thing for an outlaw
I to get protection in the territories at
that time. There was a chain of
j "hold-out" places encircling much of
old Oklahoma territory, and no two
] of them more than a day's or a
night's ride apart. FFroni the Chick-
outfit He traced the pair through the
Chickasaw country, found where they
had separated from Moran and then
trailed them north past Table moun-
tain, the ttainey mountain school of
Fort Reno and into Kansas. Casey
had asweetheart in one of the south-
ern Kansas towns, where they visited
several days and at that time they
went to a photograph gallery, either

Seminole country, across the Pawnee few days Beenblossom had one of

was so great that men refused to be-
lieve the testimony of their owu sen-

What has al lthis to do with food
and diet, say you? What have the
greatest philosopher of all time, Aris-
totle, and the greater scientist, Galil-
eo, to do with vegetarians and carni-
vores? Simply this, that there Is no
such living thing as an "authority."
There is no one man or woman, how-
ever learned and brilliant, who is able
to pronounce the very lust word ou
any one subject, be it on bread or
bones, food or finance, logic or law.
The only enduring and controlling
influences that can long dominate man
kind are concrete facts within the
reach of easy tests. When the late
Dr. Simon Newcomb, the astronomer,
said "authoritatively" there could be
no such thing as a heavier than air

Wright just went ahead and experi-
mented and produced the biplane.
Likewise croakers and wet blankets
have said there would be no labora-
tory made rubber, leather, wool or
food. Yet chemists have successfully
made rubber, other chemists are at
work on wool and leather and now
Prof W. R. Abderhalden, the physiolo-
gical chemist of Halle, Germany, has
evolved food artificially. That is, he
has succeeded in bringing together the
element oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hy-
drogen and sulphur and made the
proteid without which animal life
could not endure.
Now there are three groups of the
higher animals: flesh eaters, vege-
table feeders and mixed feeders. Man
belongs instinctively, naturally and
by evolution to the mixed feeder.
One thing is certain. All the ani-
mal world lias always been strictly
dependent upon the vegetable world
for its essential food, namely, pro-
telds. A protein Is the most complex
and necessary of foods and chemically

son and Lockett accepted the work
and were with Casey when Houston I
was hanged and the .Mountain View I
bank roboed. Hudson testified after- ,
ward that he held th ehorses while j
the gang hanged Houston.
Casey planned to rob the bank of
egg or the curd of milk. Egg albu-
men, milk casein and blood seruiu, all
contain examples of proteins. Now
even the lowliest forms of animal
life must have protein. Vet no animal
—except Prof. Abderhalden, the Ger-
man caemist—has eVer been able to
make these proteins, so necessary for
life itself.
Hence man and the rest of the ani-
mal world are under the dominion of
the plant world to the extent that

matter to steal horses in almost any
section of the territories and run them
northwest at night through this line

of from $10 to $20 each for good

Perkins had another sweetheart. He
proposed marriage to her, she con-
sented and he gave her the watch, he

He became alarmed and left the coun- j

From the ranch house In the Ponca

line of "hold-outs" to the Seminole
country, where in the wilderness they
felt perfectly secure. They were
sleeping in a tent when it was sur-
rounded by a posse of deputy sher-

George Stone at their head. At the

man were captured. Deputy Stone
knew that some one of the gang had
left them there.
Attractive to Perkins.
This was the condition that attract-
ed Mort Perkins, when he came to
Oklahoma during the early 90's. It-
was fun for such young fellows to be
chased by officers aand even to en-
gage in a battle always with them,
because of so many hiding places al-
ways open to receive them. They
had a bullet through both his hips
that made liim a cripple for life. It
was fired by Swofford. Perkins was
taken to Lawton, the seat of the fed-
eral court for that country, and held
for the murder of Ray Beenblossom.
The man captured with him was sent
to penitentiary from Shawnee for
horse stealing.
Bert Casey avoided capture, al-
did they drift back into the old line
of business, horse stealing, cattle
rustling and robberies.
Bert Casey had been terrorizing
southern Oklahoma and Indian terri-
tory for several years when the gov-
ernment opened the Kiowa and Com-
anche country to settlement. The

Colonel Roosevelt spent the night ill
Helena and when the train drew out
this morning there were two loco-
motives lugging in from and ona
pushing it from behind to take up
the steep grade to the summit, Tha
colonel surveyed the locomotive just
behind his car aud said that ha
would like mighty well to get. aboard.
His request was granted.
The engineer banded the colonel a,
pair of gloves and took him into bia
confidence by giving him minute di-
rections as to how to run an engine.
Alter half an hour's instruction, the
colonel said that he believed he knew
how and wanted to try it. With tha
engineer at his side, he took charge,
He worked the levers, tooted tha
whistle and said:
"By George, this is bully!"
Once the colonel pulled what tha
engineer said was the Johnson bar.
He pulled to hard and the passengers
allthrough the train were mildly
startled by a vigourous bump.
When he was ready to go back td
his car, Colonel Roosevelt, instead
of waiting until the train stopped,
climbed out o the cab to the running
board. He made his perilous way
along the narrow strip, clinging to
the handrail, as the locomotive lurch-
ed and swayed, and finally stepped
down over the pilot and up over tha
rail to the platform of his car ia
satety.
Mr. Roosevelt say several commer-
cial travelers on the train today and
told them that he appreciated tha
efforts of traveling men In his behalf.
On his trip through the Far West
the colonel has not been able to keep
up with the political newB and it was
not until today that he learned tha
full details of the nominations of Osj
car Straus as Progressive candidate!
for governor of Now York.
"Next iu importance to the nomina-
tion of the Vice-president," said tha
colonel, ' is the nomination for gov-
ernor of New York. The life and
work of Oscar Straus are a guaran-
tee that in the richest and most pop-
ulous state of the Union the Progres-
sives intend, in actual practice, to
apply the doctrines they preach. His
nomination was in tho most emphatic
way a nomination by the people them-
selves. 1 have known him since t

he was in my Cabinet I leaned much
upon him, and a more loyal friend
no man could have had. As head o£

administration of the law, was one ot
those who reached the conclusions as
to the needs of our handling of the
anti-trust and interstate commerce
and similar laws which were substai -
tially embodied in the Progressive
