sion Of a six-shOoter," said an old passeu-
ger conductor, Il am always reminded OF
an experience of mine. years ago. on the
Iron Mountain railroad was station
agent at the time at a little town near
Texarkana. and had been summoned up
to Little Rock on some business that has
nothing to do with this story IL was i'm
the first day coach, well up to the front
and In the next seat was an express mes
senger who had attracted a good deal of
attention from the fact that he wore his
hair long and had pair of enormous re-
volvers stuck In his belt. The rest of the
car was well filed with a mixed crowd
including perhaps q dozen women.
AT about o'clock at night. while we
were going over a desOlate part of the
road, the train slowed down suddenly. and
before we could inquire what was wrong
the front door flew open and masked
man stepped inside with sawed-off shot
gun at his shoulder. Sit stiIr he yelled

he snatched one of the pistols out of his
belt and hit him over the head with the
butt. Then he took the other made him
hand over his watch and money and pass

off his face and said nothing.

had disappeared the messenger was

THE PIVOTAL STATE.

tTeh Grosvepor figures out ia electoral
votes Tor Bryan and 260 for Mckinley,
giving the latter sthirty-six moe votes
than the 224 required to elect, says Les
lies Weekly. But he gives Mckinley
Wyoming, Washington and South Da-
kota, all of which were carried by Bryan
in 1896. The latter also had one vote in
California, all of which state is now
claimed for Mckinley. Grosvenor allows
Bryan the thirteen votes of Kentucky,
although he had but one in 1886, and the
eight votes of Maryland, which were cast
for Mckinley four years ago, when Bry-
an had 176 electoral votes, as against the
ia which Grosvenor comedies to him IN
1900 Bryan's friends estimate his cleo
toral vote this year at 1876, and include
in it the ten votes from Kansas, besides
the six from West Virginia and three
from Wyoming, which Grosvenor claims
for Mckinley, and the three from Dela-
ware, which Grosvenor marks as doubt
full While Grosvenor classes only two
states-Delaware and Kansas-as doubt
full with their fourteen votes, Bryan's
friends classify four states: New York,
with Sc; Ohio, 23 Indiana, Is; Minnesota,
Cor a total of IS doubtful electoral votes
The significance of this situation is the
vital Importance of New York to Bryan,
for, according TO Grosvenors hgures,
with New York, Bryan will have as many
need the three from Delaware or Wyom-
ing, or the six from West Virginia, or, in
fact a single vote from any state where
a division may occur, to give him the
presidency. New York, therefore, once
more becomes the pivotal state
Nor should another singular and not
altogether hopeful circumstance be lost
sight of, and that is that during the
past thirty-two years the electoral vote
of New York has alternately been cast
for the Democratic and Republican par
ties In 1868 it was for Seymour and
against Grant in 1872, for Grant and
against Greeley; in 1876, for Tilden and
against Hayes; in 1880, for Garfield and
against Hancock; in 1884, for Cleveland
and against Blaine; in 1888, for Harrison
and against Cleveland; in 1892, for Cleve-
land and against Harrison; in 1885, for
Mckinley and against Bryan. If the con-
tinuity of the record is preserved, it Will
have to be for Bryan in 1900, though that
seems impossible at this writing.

storm In North Texas.

Fort Worth, Texas, September a.
this point yesterday morning was the
greatest in years There was rain
fall during the past ten hours of 1922
inches and as consequence both the
Clear and West Forks are booming,
the former being out of its banks a
mile wide and flowing into the Trim
ity river. The West fork rise proper
has not reached here, but is expected
during the night. The Trinity river
is over a mile wide at this place and
is still rising. 1t rose twenty feet
from yesterday morning till noon.
Some 400 or 500 people living in the
bottoms were forced to seek higher
places for safety; many of them bare
ly saved themselves and the loss Of
their household goods was almost COM
plete. Some of the smaller houses
are floating about in six to ten feet
of water Street cars have been un-
able to run only on half time, several
miles of track being under water. The
Polytechnic street car bridge over
Sycamore creek, east Of town two
miles was completely washed away.
A report reached here last night shat
woman and two children were un.
able to reach the banks of Clear fork
and were washed away and drowned
This rumor lacks confirmation. A
wagon bridge just west of the city over
the Clear forks gave away and slid
off its abutments and washed away.
Many of the Easements of larger build
ings of the city were flooded with two
or three feet of water. The board Of
trade headquarters were totally ruined.
Never before has this city suffered SO
severely by rains and foods.
