SOME 9TH Err TOPICS

Mr. and Mrs. John w THOMPSON are
now in Seattle, where they will remain
several weeks. ard where their friends
have arranged a continuous round OF en-
tsrtainment- for them. They had a very
delightful journey through the Yellow
stone, being so fortunate as to entirely
escape the 'hold-up." the latest sensation
provided for tourists there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson have in contemplation a leis-
urely trip through California. before they
make any plans for a more protracted
absence from home.
The tales told of the experiences of re-
cent tourists through the Yellowstone. who
were part of the time the recipients of
very devoted attention from road agents,
would be ludicrous were they not the re-
citals Of moments of extreme anxiety and
terror. A lady in q party. which was fol-
lowing a string of seven coaches. Witness
ed the unusual spectacle to eastern eyes
of the "hold-up." The occupants of the
seven coaches were asked to step out, give
UP to the tune of money or your life
All parted easily with tine former the ag
gregated value to the gentlemen of the
road, being about seven hundred dollars.
The lady in question kne " she could not
escape, and with a woman's wit slipped
her diamond rings in her mouth. Her
terror ovcrcame her, however. and when
the men came toward her she screamed.
"Oh. MIR. Robber, l have no jewelry,'
when her Sohbing words simply whstled
through the rings. AS no one is allowed
to carry firearms through the park for
fear of disturbing the game. the men who
were forced to give up their valuables
knew they could not help themselves and
might as well submit with grace. The
personal satisfaction they will feel if the
fellows are ever caught can hardly be
expressed.
