ment as it might have been If he had
overestimated his guns efficiency.

Tried Holdup Game.

When he was coming back from
Denver last Thursday morning. E.
III. McClenahan says he saw real
live holdup on the rear platform OF
the car he came home on. 1t was
at about Fortieth street that he no.
ticed a foreign looking man step to
the rear platform and as he did SO a
fellow who was riding there thrust
gun under the nose of the stranger.
A tussle ensued in which the man
tried to wrest the gun from the fell
low. A passenger who saw the rum
pus also hurried to the platform to
help the victim. At this juncture
the would-be holdup jumped off the
train without securing any booty.
Later it was learned that the man
who was held up was Richard Peter
son, a wealthy cattleman, Yho was
on his way to California.
