Getting more business is
the most ardent pursuit of the
merchant. The much Of to-
day is his spurrer on for more.
Profit quickens his efforts ;
profit is his imperative need,
Yet profit stands lower than
the increase of business. If
it doesn't, the merchant must
take second rank-it does
with us-if it doesn't, he
shuts himself out from the
first place in his business.
It's just such trade-winning
offerings as the following that
have made this house famous
for high grade goods and the
extremely low price asked for
them.

did not state or intimate to him some

4 Man shot III the Leg on III Utah =
Northern.

9OktAAQEns
Saturday night about fifteen minutes be-
fore the south.bound train Of the Utah q
Northern was due at Divide, Joseph Bate
man, q track walker, who looks after the
road in Big Hole canyon, was shot in the
leg by some unknown party and remained
in q dazed, semi-conscious condition by the
side OF the track until Sunday morning
when he was picked up by q freight train
and taken to Dillon. Bateman, when
picked mp. was unable to give a coherent
account of the occurrence but said that he
was shot by some one while walking the
track but had no idea who committed the
deed.
The mystery surrounding the affair
caused the trainmen to think that a plan
had been laid to rob the train and that
the robbers had been frightened away.
The fact OF the shooting was telegraphed
to Agent Smith Of the Pacific Express COM
pany at this point and also the fact that
it was supposed to have been
done by train robbers. Mr.. Smith
acted promptly. A large conslgn-
ment Of bullion and other treasure was
billed to 60 south Sunday evening.
When the train having the valuables on
board arrived at Silver Bow Junction q
transfer was made and the treasure was
placed in the company's safe at that
point. A carload Of shotgun messengers,
however, boarded the train and went
south, determined to send back q couple
of freipht cars filed with dead road agents
should any attempt be made to hold up
the train. Nothing occurred until the train
arrived at Divide where two men attempted
to board the engine. Deputy Sheriff Hank
ley OF Silver Bow, who was in the cab,
kicked one OF them in the face ard knocked
him off while he fred a shot at the other
fellow. Both men got away in the dark
ness and the train resumed it's journey
without anything farther of q blood-curd-
ling nature transpiring.
Conductor Ed. Cathcart was in charge of
the train and J. W. Frost pulled the
throttle.

Paul showed himself to them and finding

abuse o taunts upon them as only a
renegade halibrsed Indian can utter. The
two gentlemen returned to the agency that
evening and informed Major Roman, the |
