HELD UP BY OUTLAWS GHOST.
Bill DaIton's Spirit Gets Even with
an Iron Mountain Engineer
in Queer Way.

The engineer and fireman said it was
Bill Dalton's ghost that held up an
Iron Mountain train and delayed it
As minutes a few months ago. The
superintendent of the road said he
knew better, and that the only spirit
either of the men had seen was in a
liquid form, and he at once suspended
both men while he made an investiga-
ton. The men have been reinstated,
and the superintendent is still puz-
zling over their story, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Dad Remington is the engineer re-
ferred to, and he tells the following
story of his adventure:
"The Iron Mountain runs through
some terribly lonesome places between
Claremore and Nowata in the Chero-
fee nation, and there have been hun
dreds of trains held up along the
Verdigris bottoms. We were cutting
along at a fierce rate this night, be-
ing Is minutes behind, and had to
catch 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 L felt hand on my shoulder,
and, turning around, there stood Bill
Dalton.
"He said in his old-time way: Throw
up your hands, and be quick about it,
too. No monkey business Course L
threw up my hands, for he had the
drop on me clearly. Then his partner,
old Cherokee Bill long dead, too, drew
a bead on Bill, and we were told to
stop. We had no more than come to
a standstill than Bill Dalton dropped
from the cab and left Cherokee Bill
holding two big guns on us. After
Dalton had uncoupled us l was told
to drive on. We pulled up to the wa
tering tank and stayed there about 40
minutes. Then the ghost of the ia
nous outlaw swung into the cab and
told me how he had gotten even for a
trick l had played on him once. You
bet we hustled back and coupled on,
but the manager was on the train, and
he gave us a terrible raking. When
we got into Coffeyville Bill and were
laid off under charge of being drunk.
Detectives hunted for clews on the
ghost robbery for a month, and never
found trace of anything real.
"What did the ghost do it for?
Why, to get even with me. Once when
Bill was living he laid for my train, on
which there was big money ship
ment. He signaled me to stop, all
right, but l was suspicious, and ran
right past him, getting a bullet
through the cab when he found l
wouldn't stop. So when his ghost
told me to go back and couple on it
added
"You old fool, am just getting even
with you for the time you ran past
me. Hope you lose your job for this "

The old, old story,

DR.. Mcnamara, NJ P, is skeptical of the
origin of most of the witticisms ascribed to
children. He asserts that they are manu-
factured by children of an older growth,
chiefly because they make good reading.
But in his own experience he has come
across some genuine wittcisms, some of
them unconscously humorous, by school
children. At an examination in Scripture
the question was asked: What did Moses
do for living while he was with Jethro"
A worldly-wise youngster replied: Please,
sir, he married one Of Jethro's daughters"
