impossible to get a long telegram
into the office by midnight. A coun-
ell OF war was held and the three
men determined that something must
be done to hurry things along.
Finally a telegram was prepared
and sent to the mayor of Summit
vile, asking him if he would be
kind enough to meet the train when
reached the depot on a matter of
great importance connected with the
battle of the previous night.
At a station few miles above Sum-
mitville a man got on the train who,
on being questioned, proved to know,
in a general way, the story of the
fight. He told in a graphic way how
the bandits had come into the vii
lage, only to fall into the ambush
which had been carefully prepared
for them.
AS soon as the staff correspondent
had got the leading facts clear in
his mind he started to write his
story.
Now" he said, eff the mayor doesn't
go back on us, and we get a tele-
graph wire, We'll pull through all
right
"I'll get wire of I have to climb
pole and cut one down. said the
operator of the party.
At last the poky train came puff
ing up to the little red station at
Summitville. 1t was several minutes
late, but the first glance showed that
great excitement prevailed about the

this story, which may he taken with a
few grains of salt as to the material
allegation contained therein:
A country customer had bought
some fish at a village grocery store

is not necessary for the purposes of
the story-and at her next visit to
the store she entered complaint.
''They tasted" she objected, "cx-
actly like English breakfast tea"
''I'm not surprised, ma am" replied
the grocer. Those fish were caught
in Boston harbor'-N. Y. Sun.

Those who like to see immense
schools of fish, most of them weigh

ought to be here. Five minutes
walk from Main street brings one to
the shores of Klamath rapids, where
every little nook, bay and tributary

station. Right nobly had the mayor
OF the village responded to the tel
egraphic appeal which had been sent
him
He stood at one end of the station
platform. Next him was the town
marshal, wearing a huge star and
conscious that he was the hero of
the exciting battle of the night be-
fore. In the same row were the
town aldermen and most of the 9TH
er dignitaries of the vilage-men
who had been laying out nights"
armed to the teeth, for nearly a
week, waiting for the raid which had
finally come.
The three men leaped from the
train and each rushed to his work.
One of the correspondents began with
the mayor and went down the line as
rapidly as possible, getting his story
from each. The other ran into the
station and sat down at once to com
plete the story he had begun on the
train. The telegraph operator Jumped
into the little room where the aston

with the speed of an expert he COM
menced to call Chicago. He wanted
to get wire leading directly into
the office of his newspaper. But
some one was persistently interrupts
ing. He listened long enough to
catch what was wanted
1t was the operator in the office of
rival newspaper which had got
wind of the battle at Summitvlle too
late to send down correspondent.
'Rumor pitched battle in the
streets of Summitville," ran the
query. "Send good story, $500 words,
if correct"
The man at the Summitville kew
smiled viciously, looked around for
an instant without saying anything,
and then ratified his key fiercely for
moment.

spondent, handing over a dozen pages
of copy" start that as soon as

moment later and the story was run
ming into the office as fast as an ex-
pert could send it over the wires
The second correspondent had inter-
viewed practically every prominent
citizen of the village. and what he
had written followed fast on the
first. By few minutes after mid
night more thar 1000 words were i'm

the story had been put into type and
was on the presses.
When the operator at Summitville
