IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
George r. Smith Held Up on the West
Mountain and Relieved OF S247
Saturday Morning.

Three footpads held up George r.
Smith, of Mill city, ON the West noun
tain Saturday morning about 10
o'clock and relieved him of $247, which
he had just drawn from the Third Ma
tional bank. The robbery, as Smith
describes it, occurred midway between
the old toll gate at the terminus of
jackson street and Wickizer's stone
quarry. He was walking along leis-
urely up the mountain side when a
man suddenly stepped out from a
clump of bushes which lines the road
and pinioned his arms behind him.
Before he could attempt to struggle
or make an outcry two other men faced
him with drawn revolvers and after
warning him to be quiet on pain of
death went through his pockets and
relieved him of every cent he had. The
man who held him, he says, had still
letto in his hand.
After securing the booty the robbers
fled and Smith betuOi himself to JO-
seph Wiclti2er's home half a mile up
the mountain where he related what
had happened. Mr.. Wickizer accom-
panied Smith to the West Side police
station, where the matter was reported
to PatrOlman Peters and afterwards
transmitted to headquarters. officer
Dyer was dispatched to scour the roads
thereabout and word was telegraphed
to towns over the mountain and down
the valley, but as yet no trace of the
trio has been discovered.
Smith describes one of the fOOtpads
as being five feet eight inches in height,
dark hair mixed with gray and side

A Vast Whispering Gallery.

In the Black Hills there is natural tele-
phone limo operated without wires, poles or
receivers. On each side Of a valley l2
miles wide stand two tall peaks, several
thousand feet high, and so rocky that they
have been scaled only few times.
Some time ago party of tourists decid'
ed to mako the ascent, and they divided
into two parties, one for each peak, taking
heliographs with them for the purpose OF
signaling TO each other across the valley.
The ascent was made, and one uf the party
on the north mountain was surprised to
hear voices, which apparently came out Of
tho air. He moved his position, and the
sound was no longer heard BY changing
his position several times he discovered
that the voices wero those of his friends on
the other mountain. When the attention
of the opposite party had been attracted, 10
was found that an ordinary conversation
in an ordinary tone Of voice was plainly
heard from one mountain top TO the other,
over a distance Of more than 12 miles
Think of thatl
Scientists say that the cause Is TO be
found in the form of the mountains, which
serve as elliptical reflectors of sound, q

HE KEPT THE RECEIPT.
And an Unjust Suspicion, Eighteen Years
Old, Was Dispelled.


"That time when / was dumped and
robbed in the house of my friends" said
the old politician, II was so dsgusted that
l pulled up stakes and decided to try
new community I'm the west. While was
out there prospecting for location came
across country judge whom had known
as boy. He had stolen my knife, my
rabbits and my pigeons. He became in
corrigible and was sent TO the reform
school 1t was the popular verdict that he
would never be any good, and he was held
up as terrible example to the rest of us
boys.
iaI thought 10 my duty to give the COED
prominent man Of the place into my con-
fidenoe He had implicit faith in the
squire and believed him as good a man as
they had in the state.
"'Its easily tested, said, 'and you
can't afford to have dishonest man In his
position. Here's promissory note given
me 20 years ago, and indorsed Ii at the
time l loaned that fellow money to get
out of town and turn over a new leaf. He
vowed by all that's good that he'd repay
me, and this Is all have TO show for my
investment. II he's an honest man, he'll
make some settlement
"'We'll see, said the squires friend.
In an hour they came back together, and
the squire gave my hand wiring that
started the tears. Il paid that paper is
years ago, he declared. Here's the receipt.
i wondered why you never wrote me-
There IT was. With 1t WIS letter from
the man that was then my lawyer, saying
that the note had been mislaid and that
the receipt would serve.
"In five days tho squire and were back
to the old town. The man who had bought
the nomination from under me was the
rascally lawyer to whom the money had
been paid. You should have heard the
squire comb the sneak down and then
make him resign in my favor. We don't
need men any more honest than that same
justice of the peace that / suspected. -
