Net Up With Bill.

There are a number of drummers
travelling in this territory who haye
been on the road a long time, and
many of them are able to tell of ex-
periences in the outlaw days of the
Indian country that are romantic, and
in some instances uncanny enough to
satisfy the most fastidious seeker af-
ter border stories.
c. E. Millar, travelling for a Lincoln,
Neb., patent medicine concern, spent
several days at the Cobb house in this
city recently on one of his tours and
was relating his experience with
Cherokee Bill about five years ago,
while driving across the country from
Braggs TO Ft. Gibson. Cherokee Bill
appeared in the road in front OF Mr..
Millars team and levellng his Win
chester at the unfortunate drum
mer's head demanded his pocket-book.
Millar started TO comply but suggest
ed to Bill that he had better ii06;-:er
the gun as it might be accidentally
discharged. The outlaw came little
closer and said, ''never mind the gun,
but be quick and give me your watch
and those diamonds also" Millar re-
luctantly gave up s240 worth OF dia-
monds and good gold watch, along
with his pocketbook, and was glad
enough to escape with his life.
