plan was to steal a bunch of cattle or

In Culbertson, Mon. Miss Edith OMara,
a pretty young woman who is a prominent
member of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and a church member of that
place, arrested Red, Cutcheon and John
Morley, two bad men. who came drunk into
the town and terrorized all the male In
habitants with their pistol practice. After
landing the desperadoes In JAIL Miss
O'Mara Immediately fell violently in love
with Cutcheon and promised to marry him.
On his part, Cutcheon had agreed to stop
drinking liquor. The whole town is watch

The young woman was walking along
the street in the evening when the two men

Miss O'Mara was the only resident of the
town who did not run for shelter. AS the

pistol from the folds of her dress. The
muzzle was first pointed al. one and then
at the other. with such rapidity that the
two desperadoes failed to see any joke
"Drop your revolvers, and drop them at
once! commanded the girl The two men
allowed their revolvers to fall to the
ground. The weapons were picked up by
the girl, who then marched her prisoners to
the Jail and turned them over to the mar
shall.
Then, like true daughter of Eve, Miss
O'Mara began to pity her prisoners, es-
pecially Cutcheon, and pity. poet says, Is
akin to love. She was heard to remark
that Red Cutcheon was not such bad
looking fellow, after ALL when he was
sober and washed up. She talked long and
earnestly with him in his cell about his
salvation.

she asked.
Because no good-lookin' young woman
like you ever asked me-" said Bad Man
Cutcheon. He swore he loved her and
promised that he would never touch anoth-
er drop of liquor If she would be his wife
She cried bit and then promised to marry
him. So, when RED" Cutcheon was ar

shooting his revolver inside the city limits
his fine was paid. After fond temporary
parting with his newly-fOund sweetheart

In telling of her engagement, Miss
O'Mara said: "As long as / arrested Mr.

When the writer was a boy he well re-

where he was born and brought up dared

day. The wheat was ripe and was beaten

wheat out of the overburdened earS-but
only one man dared to drive his reaper
afield that morning. He was sort of
harem-scarem fellow, one of those farm
ers who are always anxious about some
thing, but who seldom accomplished any
thing.
What a scandal that was in those days
the click-click of the reaper. The writer

to pieces. He had inherited the fortune
and the farm he had rented and his failure
was due simply TO his own worthlessness
as a farmer and business man. We have
always suspected that the Lord had moth

that the men who went afield in Kansas
last Sunday had more prayers and more of
thankfulness in their hearts than many
thousands who knelt in fashionable
churches and listened to high music and
eloquant sermons.

More About the Wreck

The Alliance Grip, which is
regarded as the official organ of
the B. & Nj. h. r. gives the
folio wing account of the wreck
which occurred near Mason City
last week which is probably
correct:

and Kinkaid were stockmen and
were in the way car of first 49,.
The remains of Larkin were pre-
pared for burial at Broken Bow
and shipped to Brush, where two
grown children reside, accom-
panied by roadmaster D. c. Nc
Intyre of Alliance. The remains
of Dye were shipped to Ord,
Neb., where two sons reside, He
has a wife living in Springfield,
Oregon. Kinkaid was not
seriously injured and is in charge
of the Burlington surgeon, DR..

we'll. A strange thing in connec-
ton with the accident is the
slightness of it as far as damage
to rolling stock is concerned, to
prove so fatally. First 40 when
struck was running about %
miles per hour and second 40 ran
into them going about IS miles
per hour. The engine on second
40 was but slightly damaged and
the way car OF first 40 was only
broken in at the end. The kill.
ed and injured were caught in
the rear end of the way car while
trying to get off. After the
wreck the trains were able to pro-
coed with slight delay. 1t is not
known who will be held respon
sible for the accident.
