THE Iron Mountain runs through
some terribly lonesome places between
CIaremore and Nowata in the Cherokee
Nation, and there have been hundreds
of trains help up along the Verdigr1s
bottoms We were cutting along at a
fierce rate this night, being Is minutes
behind, and had to catch a Kansas City
train at Coffeyville. The engine was
running so smooth could hear her
pass over every rail joint. Just as we
were entering the bottoms felt hand
on my shoulder, and, turning around,
there stood Bill Dalton.
HE said to his old time way. Throw
I'D your hands, and be quick about it,
too! No monkey business Course e
threw UP my hands. for he had the
drop on me clearly Inen MS partner,
old Cherokee Bill. long dead, too, drew
a bead on Bill. and we were told 20
stop We had no more than come to
standstin than Bill Dalton dropped
from the cab and left Cherokee Bill
holding two big guns on US After Dali
ton had uncoupled US I was to drive
on. We pulled up to the watering tank
and stayed there about 40 minutes Then
the ghost of the famous outlaw again
swung into the cab and told me how
he had got even for a trick played on

and coupled on. but the manager was
on the train. and he give US a terrible
raking. When we got into Coffeyville

was living. he laid for my train, on
which there was a big money shipment
He signalled me to stop all right, but
I was suspicious, and ran right past
him, getting a bullet through the cab
when he found / wouldn't stop. So
when his ghost told me to go back and
couple on it added:

with you for the time you ran past me.

DULUTH, JAN. 10.
Streeter's Impressions.

Editor Streeter of Emmons county
visited the capital city in the early part
of the session and he writes some inter-
esting stuff for the Record on gambling
and things. Among other things he
speaks of the improvements in Bismarck
as follows:
The writer visited Bismarck several
days last week-the first time in two
years. The appearance of the city has
much improved in that time. There was
a period-a period extending over many
years-when most of the business houses
were little more than "shacks," and when
the boom spirit had greatly overdone.
the requirements both as tx business
houses and the professions. In other
words the city was ahead of the settle
ment of the country tributary to it.
The reasonable result was that the Wig
orous competition caused the weaker
esta adjustments to succumb, until at the
present time tho relations between city
and country are more nearly normal,
and it is said that most of the men in
business at the capital are making some
money. There are many bare lots where
buildings stood before the fire, but these
will be occupied in due time by sub
stantial structures, as the demands of
trade caused by the developmentlof con-
tiguous territory require their existence.
Two splendid buildings are the North
west hotel and the Northern Pacific de-
pot, the latter partially completed, but
to be finished in the spring.

Senator McCumber Urges 5000 For
the Improvement of Missouri River
at Bismarck.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber offered an amendment to tie
the river and harbor bill providing that
for Improvements on the Missouri at or
near Bismarck $4,000 be made available.
The senator will appear before the COM
merce committee next week to urge
favorable action on the amendment.
The senate Indian committee has

appropriation bill appropriating $4,000
for the construction of a school at Man
dan, N. D. The amendment was offered
by Senator Hansbrough, who appeared
before the scommittee in its behalf. AL
though the Indian commissioner has
heretofore opposed non-reservation

kota Indians.

much extra weekly labor when writing
the mail List for these many years, and
we are happy to know that he is going
to change it at last. But, seriously
speaking, the editor and Franks many
other Emmons county friends will ex-
tend congratulations to him over the
fact that his bride-to-be is one of the
best girls in the county, a young lady
who has grown to womanhood here,
and who has no enemies. As stated
elsewhere, the welding will occur Q the
22nd day of this month, at Bismarck,
and the next evening a free dance to the
friends of the young people (which
means the public) will take place at
Williamsport.

Back to First Principles.

Wahpeton Globe: The Mandan Pho
neer thinks that gambling by Monte
Carlo methods is a thing of the past in
the slope cities, now that the gambling
outfits in the capital city have been
seized by the officers of the law. If this
is the case it is probable that, the old
national game of "draw". will become
the chief amusement of the members of
the legislature when time hangs heavy
on their hands.
