The challenge Of the Augustana
foot ball eleven has not as yet been
accepted by the Moline High school
team, and there appears to be little
prospect that it will.
Tho Moline High school players
have cheek. but no grit" says q
member of the Augustana team.
This was distinctly proven by o
cowardly article recently published
In the Moline Mail, which stated
among other things that they could
not get team to practice with
for the Clinton game, as all
were afraid Of them. It will
perhaps be interesting for the pub
lie to know that challenge has been
open to the Molineites from Angus
tnna since Tuesday, Nov. 8. They
promised to answer it by last Mon
day, but as yet we have received no
word as to what they intend doing.
We do not want any practice games
with them. The real article is what
we are after. As we have no hope of
our challenge being accepted and as
there are no other teams to play
against, we have decided to disband
Tor the season. We hope the Moline
team.will not claim . championship
1t dares not defend. We have given
ample time for an answer to our
challenge"

ever he agrees to pay or whatever he
buys you may know that he is to be de-
pended upon. And his family are of the

again. He knows that a second con-
viction will mean long term in the
penitentiary, and he resolves not to be
taken alive. In the pursuit of this
policy he kills "a. deputy marshal or
two. Then his capture means hanging
and he becomes an outlaw, or, as he
puts it, he "goes on the scout He
no longer has home except in the
saddle, the earth is his bed and the
star-sprinkled sky forms his coverlet.
Being forced to keep moving all the

to Indians is called, with such atten-
ton to business as insures profit, and
he becomes a train robber or Joins a
gang" and terrorizes a town while
securing the funds he needs from the
local bank or general stores.
One OF the worst of the desperadoes
who ever belonged to the Cook gang
was Crawford Goldsby, alias s.Chero-
kee Bill. He was wolf in human
form, and it is perfectly truthful to
say that he did not regard the killing
Of a deputy marshal as a sin. He
knew it to be against the law, but in

A great many desperadoes owe their
start on the road that led them to
become outlaws to the United States
laws regarding the sale of Whiskey to
an Indian. Uncle Sam is very partic-
ular that his wards Shall not become
drunkards, while the Indian is Just as
anxious to become intoxicated when
the occasion offers. AS a result the
Indian usually gets his Whiskey and
the man who supplies it does SO at an
enormous profit. There is practically
no limit to what an Indian will pay
for Whiskey, and the business Of sup
plying this demand offers great prof
it's. 5S 4, $s.3 Es
Once cowboy is arrested for illicit
selling of Whiskey his fate is practical
" sealed. He gets sentence to term
in the penitentiary, a punishment that
seems to him out of all proportion to
the seriousness of the offense. AS soon
as he is released he is prone to COM
nit the offense again, as he is always
penniless and his old crime offers a
sure method of making money. Soon
the deputy marshals are after him
