LONE ROBBERS:
How Governor Burbank Lost
the Watch Which Jesse
James Wore.

The robbery Of the Missouri Pacific
train, on which Gov. Stone and Other
we'll known Missourians were passen
gers, by lone bandit, reminds some
Springfield man of the experience OF
Gov. Burbank of Indiana with stage
rObber. Burbank WIS a brother.in.
law Of Oliver p. Morton, and got the
title Of governor by serving a term a
territorial governor Of Dakota.
1t will be remembered that when
Jesse James was killed he wore a
watch that bore the Engraved name of
Gov. Burbank of Indiana.
Mr.. Burbank some time ago, told
the relator of the story how he lost
the watch. 1t was taken from him
by highwayman who held up stage
coach. That was before Hot Springs,
Ark. had railway, and visitors made
an overland trip to reach the place.
"Young man, said Gov. Burbank,
'never say what you are going to do
when you are held up. l made a mis-
take that way. There were six men
of us and women in the Hot Springs
stage. We had been warned that
road agents might tackle us. All of
US men fixed ourselves and we had it
all arranged how We were going to
slay a whole gang of robbers. We
were riding along in daylight, each
man With hand on a revolver. First
thing We knew the stage was stopped
and a lone highwayman stuck two
guns towardu us and told us to hands up,
get out and line up Every man in
the stage threw up his hands, and
they all did just as did, took one
hand off a revolver 1t was rather
cool weather and l wore an
overcoat. My revolver was in my
right Overcoat pocket. had it
grasped.firmly, but at command l let
60 and up went my hands Same
way with every man in the state, and
although there were eight robbers we
didn't see but one when we threw up
our hands. Obeying a highwayman
comes As natural as winking."
After Jesse James was killed the
gold watch found on the body was
sent by express to Gov. Burbank.
The name cut in the back part Of the
case by territorial officers Of Dakota,
who had given it to the governor, had
never been erased.

Abraham Lincoln

When leaving his home at Springfield. ILL.,.
to be inaugurated president OF the United
States. made farewell address to his old
friends and neighbors, in which he said,
"NEIGHBORs GIVE YOUR BOYS A CHANCE"
These words come with as much force
to-day as they did thirty years ago.
How give them this chance:
Up in the Northwest is a great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows to
come and develop it and grow up with
the country" All over this broad land
are the young fellows, the BOYS that Lin
coin referred to, seeking to better their con-
dition and get on i'm life.
Here is their chance.
The country referred to lies along the
Northern Pacific K X. Here YOU can find
pretty much anything you want. In Min
nesota, and in the Red River Valley of
North Dakota, the finest OF prairie lands
fitted for wheat and grain, or rs well ior
diversified farming. In Western North
Dakota and Montana, are stock ranges
limitless in extent, clothed with the most
nutritious OF grasses.
Ii fruit farming region is wanted there
is the whole state of Washington to select
from.
A for scenic delight, the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad passes through country
unparalleled. In crossing the Rocky, Bit
ter Root. and Cascade Mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to he seen i'm the

The wonderful bad lands. wonderful in
graceful form and glowing color. are a
poem. Lakes Pend d'Oreille and Occur
dAlene, are alone worthy OF n trans-cont;-
mental trip. while they are the fisherman's
Ultima Thuie. The ride along Clark's
Fork OF the Columbia River is daylight
dream. To cap the climax this i the only
way to reach the tar famed Yellowstone
Park.
To reach and see all this the Northern
Pacific Railroad furnishes trains end serv-
ice ri unsurpassed excellence. The most
approved and comfortable Palace Sleeping
ears; the best Dining cars that can I've
made; Pullman Tourist cars good for both
first and second class passengers; easy
riding day coaches, with Baggage, Ex-

ful Baldwin Locomotives, make a train fit
for royalty itself.

this train and go and spy out the land.

Who Are They?

The Hannibal Courier Post has this
piece of delightful gossip:
''There is a couple residing on the
West Side who have heea married
twice, divorced once, separated two
or three times and now living happily
together. We will not give their
names. nor their location, except to
say that they reside in the Fifth ward.
They were married a number of years
ago and lived together Tor several
years. Jealousy entered their house
hold and caused a separation and
eventually led To a divorce. They
still loved each other and in the course
of time they renewed their VOWS and
were married again. Alter living to-
gether a number of years, something
crossed their pathway, love went out.
and the wife concluded to leave
her husband again. At that
time, they were living in
Sedalia and the wife wrote to her
father. who resides in this city. telling
him of her troubles and asking him
for money. He answered the let
ter by telling her if she would
have no more to do with her husband
that he would send her money to
come to Hannibal. She accepted his
proposition and came to Hannibal a
short time ago and went to house
keeping. Her husband learned where
she was and yesterday he arrived in
the city in search of her. The wife
brother learned of his presence and
promised to protect his sister, for he
feared that there wOnld he trouble
when they met. He armed himself
with q revolver and awaited the hus-
bands arrival. The husband arrived
early in the afternoon and was met by
the wife a short distance from the
house. A few whispered words were
exchanged, but no one except those
two knows what they we're. The hus-
hand followed the wife to the house
and entered therein. The wifes
brother, still with a revolver half con-
cealed in his pocket, witnessed the
meeting and was amazed. He went
away but soon returned and handed
a letter to his sister through the win
dow. We do not know what the let
ter contained, but judging from the
young mans actions we might imagine
that it expressed his disgust, for he
turned upon his heel as much as to
say: 81 have wiped my hands with
this muss ana will have no more to
do with either of you" The 'happy
couple" are now living in heavenly
bliss and We will ring the curtain
down and not disturb their happiness.
Such is life in the great state Of Mis-
souri,.
