When we bad gone some hundreds of mile* into Utah we were approached a noted frontier cfahreetrr known •‘Bill Leggett "—a grissly, shaggy fellow who galloped over from a neighboring camp upon a splendid little mustang, never halting until the animal almost ran over us.

Beyond this beseemed learned, but he filially ventured the opinion that if we were attacked at all it would he at a place known aa Marderer'a gulch. If wo could get beyond that without .list urban on, or if we should prove ourselves able to re] reult, wo might consider all real danger Passed. Having told me this mnrh, Leggett leaped into the saddle, galloped up the ridge, and vanished. Tlio guide to our party was who hod crossed and recrore plains, but whose knowledge country was lees thorough than a right to expect. Ho had led us astray several timeo, hot when I came to apeak of Murderer's gulch, be recognised tht place at once, and assured me that hr participated in the ocromouy of iti christening. He was cue of a party ol minora who encamped there a half dacen yean before, there being a round doom of them, when they got into fight, which resulted in the death on dangerous wounding of eight of tb

the spot.

Murderer’s gulch, as it was called fro: at day, was only five miltw away, au was now early in the afternoon, so tin could be easily reached before nighi 11. So we set forward, and when w Ipdted the sun was still an hour higt Tho gulch was simply a ravine, a bin dred feet wide, with sloping sides, thi were leas than a dozen feet high. Th qeanty of the place was that the botto: ■ covered with the richest kind < us and near tho center was a spring deliciously cool and dear water, i it it possessed every reqniaUo for camping aito, with the single eueptiou in^oase of attack the advantage was t£e SMaalting party.

towards us at an easy canter. Tewitit, c us up out of the gulch to tho prairie above, he pointed to two dead bodies in

,• the grass.

“You hoerd' my gun twict in the night, didn't yet" he asked. We replied that we did, and were afraid it boded ill to tho caravan. “ They're all right," ho added, with one of his terrific oaths, " the first shot pidted off that loafer and the next that one. They wna down ir the gulch, and I honied 'em up here, where I could keep ’em till daylight."
