rather pathetic appeal by mail the

Little ssPefe,,

The following item from DeadwOod
paper will be read with interest by
many of the young associates of
Little Pete" as he was Familiarity
called. 1t will be remembered he left
about three years ago with his
her and sisters when they removed
- lie Black Hills. Howard Peters,
g !4-year old boy who started on the
8 | of the escaped bank robbers,
= lday, has not been heard of since
g 1T. His companions say Howard
6 always been venturesome lad.
g In he heard of the Jail breaking,
LAY evening, he was determined to
start at once, but was persuaded to
wait until morning. He got up early
ate breakfast quickly, saddied his
pony and started. A small pocket
pistol, % calibre, protruded from his
hip pocket and there was a CLEAN of
delight in his swapping black eyes. He
had So in his inside pocket when he
was last seen through a cloud of dust
headed toward the southwest. He told
chum that he was going to catch the
robbers and keep them for a big re-
ward-a thousand dollars. He was
going to lock them up in room at
his home and guard them SO they
| could not get away. Howard will
probably ne Jack SOON.

beauty had been suddenly trans
formed into a resolute company
of Amazonian avengers, firm in
the determination that justice be
done though the drop curtain fall.
At the head of the company ran
Polar Pete and DIR. Deadeasy,
side by side. The revengeful look
on Polar Pete's countenance was
awful to behold. Nor was DR..
Deadeasy-our next mayor-any
the less determined.
AS the little army turned into
Bonanza Boulevard, the form of a
tall man with a dog at his heels
could be distinctly seen passing
over the ridge beyond the creek
The entire company quickened it's
pace and cut across the lots of La
Dues Gangrene Park subdivision
to shorten the distance to the Sa-
polio Street bridge.
1t was now twenty minutes
past midnight and the twilight
was deepening. In another hour
darkness would come on. The
fugitive must not be permitted to
escape in the gathering gloom.
Faster, and still faster, the pur-
suers fairly flew over the bridge,
their footballs sounding On the
wooden structure like the roll of
distant thunder.
The top of the ridge was
reached and there was cry of
triumph from Polar Pete. They
were gaining on the dastardly
william in the bear-skin coat. In
five minutes more they were al
most upon him. In an exultant
voice Polar Pete called to his
faithful dog, Rosie. To his
amazement she never turned her
head at the familiar voice, but
kept steadily on at the heels of
the tall stranger
A Jews more strides down the
south slope of the hill and the
capture was effected.
Pete bounced upon the des-
poiler of his home and would have
torn him limb from limb had he
not been restrained by the calmer
members of the posse.
The thief was recognized as
Syracuse Willie, who recently re-
corded claim ON Bonanza Greek.
He was permitted to tell his
story:

Few men are so eminently fit
ted for this important Office. Mr..
Blue Mud has worked in the new
oil refinery at Rockefeller Lake,
and is also skilled in the use of
metal polish as applied to cooking

ent that he is a gentlemen of re-
finement and polish. Mr.. Mud is
man of finished education. His
education was finished in a few
days at the Prince Albert Faro

was employed last week to keep

AACdlAC ILLS evening, Sdlu uc,
"and firing of the performance, I
left the house at the close of the
ninth act and started for my
claim. had proceeded some dis
lance when I discovered this dog
following me. I tried to drive the
animal back, but she persisted in
coming. l thought of pelting her
with rocks, but she appeared to be
a fine dog and | disliked to injure
her. Finally | allowed her to
follow me, thinking that I could
return to town tomorrow and
hunt up her rightful owner"
The story was told in straight
forward manner that seemed to
carry conviction to the minds of
most of the posse.
Someone suggested that the
man be released, but at that mo-
ment a brilliant idea occurred to
DR.. Deadeasy.
"Let us search this man." said
he.
Syracuse Willie demonstrated
against this indignity, but his
protestations were in vain.
The search was proceeded with.
In moment the whole mystery
was explained.
Sewed to the lining of the tail
of his bear-skin coat was found a
piece of fresh cariboo meat.
1t was this tempting bait that
was Turing Rosie O'Grady on to
destruction.
1t was this that kept her fol-
lowing at the heels of a total
stranger as though under some
hypnotic spell.
1t was this that made her deaf
to her own masters voice of COM
mand and entreaty.
Syracuse Willie could make no
defense in the face of this juicy
piece of damning evidence.
He could have but one purpose
in batting his coat-tail with carl
boo steak. His crime had been
deliberately and ingenio usly
planned.
Had it not been for the su-
perior wisdom of DR.. Deadeasy,
our next mayor, this man might
have gone on unchecked in his
criminal career, enticing away,
one by one, the favorite dogs of
the best families of Dawson.
Slowly, triumphantly, the posse
returned to the city, their tremb-
ling captive marching we'll up in
front, between Polar Pete and the

THE POET OF THE PLACERS.
He came into the Midnight Sun
office with faltering step. He ut
tered no word of greeting, but
moved slowly across the room and
jabbed little piece of paper on
our copy hook. One glance at the
icicles hanging from his eyelashes
told us he had been weeping, and
We offered him no violence, but
suffered him to depart in peace.
Never before have we suffered
poet to depart in one entire
piece. And this is what we
found on the hook:
GIRL WANTED.
Girl Wanted" Wanted where?
In far-off land of cold despair.
Where there's wealth to spare and
woe to share;
That's
Where.
Girl Wanted Wanted when?
Ere the cheerless sun goes down again
And darkness benumbs the hearts of
That's
