THE DUCHESS OF TECK.

but to the English people at large, for,
besides casting shadow upon all the
jubilee festivities and debarring AN i'm
portant portion Of the royal family from
any participation therein, her death would
nave excitedmore genuine sorrow than thai
OF any member OF her house, save, posi-
bly,, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
From her earliest girlhood she has always
been most popular with her cOUn.rymen--
far more so than the Queen herself. who
III her younger days repeatedly manifested
jealousy in this connection.
A younger sister of the old Duke OF
Cambridge, her hand was sought in mar

was actually engaged), by Emperor Ma
leon III. and by his cousin, the late Prince
Napoleon, besides whom number Of
German princes placed their hearts at her
disposal
Nevertheless, tie Queen, acting as head
of the family, barred every match that was
proposed until, finally, when the penniless,
but good-looking, Duke Of Teck presented
himself. tie princess announced that, hav-

And she settled back in her seat
"Hm-m, w-c-e--l," said the conductor,

MOXSON'S COLD NERVE.
An Incident That viii Live Long
in Dakota History.
How n Plucl<y Man Captured, Single
Handed, Two Desperate Outlaws
and Afterward Protected
Them from a Mob.

The nerviest man in the northwest
was Sheriff Orren t. Moxson, a slight
ly built man with woman's mild blue
eyes, who dressed as an ordinary citi-
zen and wore derby hat. In his day
the job of sheriff was not a sinecure, as
the two score notches on his gun at
tested. He was never given to boast
ing of his eventful life; but stories of
his wonderful nerve are told to-day by
the old fellows who helped settle the
twin Dakotas. The most remarkable
feat of his career was the capture,
single-handed, of "Stub" Shay aid
Tom Quinn, two notorious horse thieves
and all-round desperadoes, who made
miserable the lives of the settlers who
lived near the Cannon Ball in Hettin-
ger and Morton counties.
A series of minor depredations Gull
minated in a bold raid on the "3-7"
ranch, in which the outlaws got away
with the choicest bunch of horses.
Moxson, accompanied by three cow
punchers, started in pursuit the follow
ing day. The trail followed the north
bank or the Cannon Ball through Het-
finger and Morton counties, until it
turned abruptly to the northwest at
the intersection of the North Fork.
1t was evident that the outlaws were
making for the bottom lands of the
Missouri river. Once lost in the maze
of cottonwoods the pursuit would have
to be abandoned. Having travelled 1875
miles in less than two days, the horses
were jaded, but they responded to the
promptings of the spurs, and before
sunset of the second day they gal
loped through Deer pass and halted
at the edge of the bottom lands. There
was loud report, and bullet whizzed
above their heads. Not 300 yards
away was the outlaws camp, and in
front of the small fire were Shay and

of going to Sixth street the officer in
command decided to turnthe regiment
through Seventh around into B street.
The first company of the regiment had
hardly crossed the tracks of the
Seventh street cable line before car
approached. One of the men left the
line and in a quiet, dignified manner
asked the gripman to hold up for a
moment until the regiment could pass.
The gripman promptly and gruf1y re-
fused. The soldier proceeded to the
front of the car and stretched himself
out at full length on the track in front
of it and lay there patiently all the
