Of luck, and 1 was not altogether
unaccustomed to these untimely
visits. And I must say for
Doughnut Bill that when he did
win he always honorably brought
me- half of his gains in return for

law of the sporting world.
But on this particular morn

the Western Union Telegraph
company who had held out sew

for kilograms. 1t was necessary
to make an example OF the youth

of commercial honor.
No, Doughnut, | said cross

haven't any luck and you simply
blow it in after the rest you've
had from me. You've come to
be a hoodoo at faro bank, and
that's the truth.
Correct you are, Colonel,
saws Doughnut. I'm with you
there, and it's no more bucking
the tiger for me. I've made up
my mind to quit the whole game
and settle down as respectable
business man.

Edgarton, looking impressively
around the Broadway cafe, ''Eu-
reka had had many sensations,
but none for several months that
excited it more than the hold-up
of the White Pine stage. The
mere hold up, of course, was not
the cause of this excitement, such
an incident being commonplace,
but what caught the interest of
the town was that the solitary
road agent who did the job got
away with $4,000 from Wells
Fargo's safe. Most of it was in
gold notes shipped by an Eastern
company to pay off the monthly
bills of it's Case Dollar mine at

and therefore defender of law

I regret to say that, despite
our most arduous search, no
trace of the road agent was ever
found.

Delta, and a handsomer place of

in business thus, Doughnut paid
me visit and laid SIS, 900 in gold

DARING ATTEMPT MADE
10 RUN DEE HORSES

A daring attempt was made Sunday
to run a large bunch of horses from
the Van rassell ranch near Islay, TWEEN
ty-siX miles north of the city. says the
Cheyenne Leader. The horses we're
pastured on the ralch not far from the
house. The men employed at the
ranch saw several mounted men sur
round the herd and stampede it toward
sight. They Immediately gave pursuit
and pressed the daring robbers so hard
that they were compelled to abandon
the horses ana ride hard to prevent
capture. There is not the slightest
race of their identity, and it is not
probable hat any will be captured.
