A shooting scrape between one of the
circus gang and Frank Egan caused
some excitement Saturday night. Sew.
eral shots were exchanged, and after
the smoke cleared away Egan had
received bullet wounds in each of his
legs. We haye been unable to learn the
cause of the affair, but no attempt was
made to arrest Egan's opponent. He
was evidently the better shot.
Although there are many rattlesnakes
across the Missouri river, and many on
the other side of the line in Montana,
Clarence Ross we believe, enjoyes the
distinction of haying killed the first
rattlesnake ever seen in Wiliston. The
animal was very large one and was
killed in front of the Star meat market.
1t is thought that the snake might have
escaped from the collection of Bosoo,
the snake eater.

Williston was visited by what was
called 'circus" last Saturday. and a
fair sized audience turned out to witness
the exhibition. There were about
enough good performers who took part
to give fair indoor atheletic entertain
ment, but the aggregation has much to
accomplish before they ought to be
allowed to be called a circus. Reports
from most of the towns west of here
where exhibitions we're given complain
Of the work of the tough element that
accompanied the outfit, but that part Of
the show was not allowed to get in its
work on account Of the efficient work Of
the special police that were on duty
while the gang remained in town. They
are to be congratulated for the faithful
manner in which they discharged their
duty,

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
4 D0sen Men With Dynamite Fooled
by FasteninEs that Refused
to Yield.

Delaware, o., Nov. 21..A dozen pro-
fessional bank robbers made>a desper-
ate attempt to secure the contents of
the money vault of Sperry & Warn
STATS Deposit bank, at Ashley, ten
miles north of here, yesterday before
daylight. While nine stood On guard,
holding the citizens at bay with their
guns, others operated the dynamite
under the deposit vault of the brick
building.
The banks property is worth $780,
900, and there was $4,000 in cash de-
posits on hand. Four attempts were
made to get at the cash. but the side
door held to it's combination, while
the guards outside were shooting at
the citizens who pressed closely upon
them.
DR.. Buckley and Guy Shoemaker,
merchants, first upon the scene, were
met by the robbers at the point OF
guns, and babe not to move.
The robbers stole a horse and spring
wagon from Alvin Steritt, and a
black team and new surrey from Ed
ward Osborne, farmers nea by. With
the rigs they waited in front of the
bank for the flight. Sterritt's horse
ran away, demolishing the vehicle,
when the men took across the coun-
try on foot. Buggy robes from Os-
borne's carriage were found lear
Norton.
The damage to the bank building.
vault and other property is about half
it's value. The gang left a Big Four
freight at Marengo at one O'Clock,
stole the horses and rigs and reached
Ashley shortly after two O'Clock. They
pried open the bank doors without
being discovered, but the first eXplo-
sion of dynamite aroused the town.
The gang fired us they fled, but no
one was hurt. The men were masked.

so many letters n those s~nowbound
solitudes but that all took an interest
in their going and coming; and Titus
was honestly anxious to learn what
Nancy Higgins wrote home from
Ouray to her mother; and he waited
till old nan Sessions had opened
Franks letter from New York that
he might find out how the boy was
getting on and how he liked his job.
So when he saw a letter addressed in
a masculine hand to Miss Claribel ioe
and bearing a Cincinnati postmark. he
knew last as well as if he a read it
that the handsome young Anderson
had magnificently concluded that she
would "ft in" to his comfortable life
and surroundings. and had written to
tell her so. Titus cursed him for a
puppy. He hated a man who made
condolences. and any man so loose
of soul as Anderson, who blabbed his
affairs to any chance companion,
seemed to him something less than .
natural"
But she's bound to like the pretty
bow" he thought. Hes the kind

cried he. "The turkey is just coming
out of the oven, and it's been sizzling
mad these last two hours because you
wasn't here to help eat it."
Savory scents and hot-oven sounds
emanated propitiously from the kitch-
en-. Bucking Titus tried to be gay, and
made a good deal of noise as he got out
of his bear coat and unbuttoned his
kggins. But his heart was trembling
like an aspen in a storm and he felt
sick-like a man who hears the ham,

pusillanimously for about five minutes
before he pulled out the letters. There

flushed a little and she was smiling.
An invisible hand of iron came from
somewhere and griped the mail car

his hand.
After a minute the girl came over
and sat near him, her letter in her
hand.

looking at him with a glance of friend
