covered. Sheriff Daniels started at once
;on the trail Of the robbers and tracked
them to Kimball. where they had
abandoned the team. After searching
around Kimball that day ana the fol-
flowing night, the sheriff made up his
mind that they had gone south, and
started in thatgdirection. When he got
within twelve miles Of Platte he found
men had caught a ride with a
farmer into Platte that morning. "A.

"Losekamp keeps a general store at Bile

tom TO trade supplies Of one kind or another
for elk teeth. which, by the way, were used

Flks took them up as the emblems OF their

The action of the Colorado lodges In
TO wear no more elk teeth be-

wholesale slaughter OF elk had a marked
effect in reducing the price. Other lodges
respected the motive, and quite a boycott
on elk teeth was on for a year or more. 1t
seems, however, they are in demand

apiece for ordinary teeth and getting fancy
prices for the very best His stock is sum
