William Mullins, better known as
"Alkali BILL" took a plunge in the
Yellowstone Saturday, not because he
is especially fond of ice baths but be-
cause the ice refused to bear the bur-
den of his person. Bill had been out
to Rae Bros. ranch for the purpose of
securing few articles of more or less
value which he did not care to part
with, but the fates were against him.
On his return journey while crossing
the river, the ice became shaky and
parted under his feet allowing him to
settle in the Yellowstone. Bill always
has wanted to settle down but prefers
4 more pleasant location. Although
cold baths are recommended as a
nerve quieter, it had just the opposite
effect on Bill. He tioundered around
in verv graceful manner, lost the
valuable belong ngS he had made the
trip for and thought he was going to
lose his head, some say he did-for a
few minutes-'he set up series of
howls, making the people on this side
Of the river think that Indians were
out on the war path Bill knew all
the time they were not though--and be-
gan making preparations for battle,
but finally someone noticed commo-
ton III the river and FASTENED to the
assistance of the unfortunate plungite.
After few minutes judicial manipu-
lating of ropes and planks Bill was
landed feeling a number of degrees
cooler and thoroughly irrigated.
