BUFFALO BILL.
How the Noted PIaInsmsn Cot His
Name Told to a Press Reporte-.

Perhaps our readers do not know that
there Is located in our city one, who a few
years ago, was active as scout in the Far
West. We read about scouts and Indian
fighters and think of them only as characters
wrought from the fertile brain of some writer
of romance. In talking with one of our bus
iness men recently a PRESS reporter was
greatly surprised to learn that he was form
erly scout. We refer to Colonel Charles
w. Gilbert, who is doing business at 1856
Congress street. The conversation, of
course, in short time turned towards the
scout of scouts, Buffalo Bill.
"Dld you know Buffalo Bill In your scout
Ing days?" said the reporter.
ibid i, well yes. l brought him up in
scout and Indian lore and he remembers 1t
too, and he Is not the one to 60 back on an
old friend"
To prove that the scenes of European tri-
umph does not cause Mr.. Cody to forget
former friends Colonel Gilbert wears heavy
gold cased watch, which bears on the inside
of the case:

snsRIFFs WERE PASSENGERS
When They sailed Down the Bay In
the Steam Yacht Leo.

The Argus yesterday morning stated that
on Monday last Deputies Plummer. Sterling
and McGlinchy started off to look for liquor
aboard of yacht. They went to the steam
yacht Leo, and when steam was up Deputy
oteriing stepped into the pilot house and
started the steamer without waiting for the
lawful commander, Captain Griffin. Down
the Day they encountered the sloop belong
ing 70 Mr.. George Bradley, with his friends
ABOARD, and demanded to see who was aboard
Oh the yacht, and ordered the companion top
thrown back so as 60 see. The steamer COL
ided with the sloop. knocking Fred Leopold
and William Whalen, passengers on the
yacht. overheard and injuring the sloop.
The Argus story says that the sheriffs VIC
lated the United States laws, which require
all masters, chief mates. engineers and pilots
to be licensed, and inflcts penalty on any
person serving In these capacities unli-
censed.
Sheriff Cram said yesterday that the story
in the Argus was, in the material facts, all
wrong. The sheriffs were not on search
for liquor. but for man. The relations be-
tween the owner, master and engineer of the
Leo were all of the frlendliest nature. Depu-
ty Sterling asked the engineer If he would
take the officers out to meet boat they had
reason to know left the city little earlier.
The engineer said the Leo had to take out
party In an hour. but If the job could be
done within that time he would 60, and that
1t would take fifteen minutes to get up steam.
The engineer is probably licensed, as he
comes within the law. When the boat start
ed he asked Sterling. who is fully acquainted
with the harbor, and seaman, to take the
helm. Sterling did so. When the sloop was
seen, the steamer. as required by law, went
to windward, while the sloop. sailing YES
sci, was expected to go, In accordance with
law, to leeward. The sloop lutfed across the
steamers bow. There was slight collision
and two men, scared. jumped on the steamer
from the sloop, but were not thrown into the
water. The men on board were known to
the officers. They threw back the compan-
ion top at request. and the man wanted was
not aboard. The officers and steamer then
returned to the city.
District Attorney Dyer says there has been
no complaint made of any violation of the
statutes In the matter.
The sheriffs, so Sheriff Cram says, were
passengers on the steamer, authorized to go
by the engineer, who was in charge, and
when Sterling took the helm 1t was as a
member of the crew, at the request of the
engineer. who was in command.

Cakes Without Eggs.

Observing housekeepers quickly learn that DR.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands in
the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry, and
if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with
eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening
purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected
but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty
of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious
trouble.
Cakes of various kinds from the informal Gridde
Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Prices
Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand
some cakes; or when used for Griddle Cakes to be eaten hot
enables their production in the shortest space of time, always
tender and delicious.

white of eggs. None so pure! None so wholesome

ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

bv James G.. TAYLOR,


Suit has been commenced by James G..
Taylor, trustee, against A. A. Linston
and Ira Fredeniall. The suit il against
Mr.. Linston for plating an addition to
be called Holdridge addition. and against
County Clerk Fredendall for accepting
the same for record. Mr.. Taylor is trus-
tee for the Holdrege addition, which hes
along the boulevard just north OF town.
The Hold-idge addition lies beyond Fort
Russell. The fact that the name of the
latter addition is so much like the former,
the only difference being in the spelling,
is to say the least a singular coincidence.
The farther fact that the addition is sew
eral miles from town, makes it look as
though another attempt had been made
to do a little land swindling, Tho two
names would naturally be COMPOUNDED,
and it Is easy to see how the platt of the
Holdrege addition could be used to help
